The American dream and ethos on the edge. It's one thing to be frustrated and angry. It's another altogether to be stupid. The voters in Mass. demonstrated their mass stupidity on the 19th.

The Big Red Fiscal Lie of Red States The "liberal" states have been taking a lot of guff from folks who love telling the rest of us how wave-the-flag proud they are of their conservative values. It's way past time for the citizens of the donor states to tell these scofflaws to just shut the hell up; keep sucking, as that's the deal that's not going to change, but please . . . shut the hell up.

Whether from the Right, the Left, or the middle . . . Wrong is Wrong. A lot of angry noise is coming in torrents from the Left about Obama summoning ex-President George W. Bush, to work with Bush's immediate predecessor in the office, Bill Clinton, on behalf of raising funds for the Haiti earthquake victims. The angry sentiments from the Left are both misplaced and reprehensibly misplaced.

The Joke's Not Funny, Especially if You Laugh. The reference to a not at all joke, and not laughing, springs from who the Robinson's are, or rather what they screamed to the heavens they believed.

We can get in the game, or get run over. For those American parents who take more interest in and feel greater pride in their kid's athletic achievements than in their scholarship: You are the tragedy! Rather, you are a tragedy in the making for your children. Football is wonderful amusement. The bottom line, however, is that it is absolutely irrelevant to playing the game of life; the scrimmage to earning a living.

All is "Lost" It was an "Oh no, Mr. Bill" sort of moment. ""Lost,' not going to be on? My life is over; not worth living."

Today's McCarthyism. Will we Stand up Against it, or Stand Down? The United States today, as a society, is at great risk of disintegration, of no longer existing. This is not the first time in my life the country has faced this peril.

The devil votes Red "This is craziness," said Representative John Linder, a Georgia Republican who is the ranking minority member of a House panel on welfare policy. "We're at risk of creating an entire class of people, a subset of people, just comfortable getting by living off the government. You don't improve the economy by paying people to sit around and not work. You improve the economy by lowering taxes."

About SEX, it's about time we grew up. This most recent brouhaha over a young and unmarried JFK is nothing more than the most recent, sick, attempt by sick conservatives to force a façade that is an abject lie on every historical and physiological fact.

Christmas in America Who are those least akin to the teachings of Jesus? Liberals who insist all Americans should have health care as a right, or the conservatives whose demonstrated first allegiance is to free market capitalism's profits?

The rot of the "free-market' When Thomas Jefferson wrote in his March 17, 1814 letter to Horatio Spatford that "Merchants have no country, the mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains," he was being honest and ominously prescient.

Turn stepping out on the Democrats into a march It may prove to be somewhat of a case that appears to be cutting off our noses, but the progressive electorate needs to presume to some core principles and the courage to stand behind them, just exactly as the Democrat in the White House and those Democrats in the House and Senate are not.

Merry Christmas-- Ho, Ho, Ho What the Hell And that is why we have to plan on being in Afghanistan for the next 15 years; on the kid's and grandkids' credit cards. And about the cost, 'Doan worry 'bout it.'

Today, December 1: A day for tears. How much? How many? How long? Why?!!! And keep this fact tucked beneath the pillow: Add 30,000 forces to the mix and the total will then sum to more than what the Soviets had.

The clock anvil and the lie that business creates jobs Ever since David Stockman sold the ruse to Ronald Reagan, the American fish has been swallowing the lie that businesses create jobs hook, line, sinker and worm. It's time to shove an entire bottle of Ipecac syrup down our collective throats.

What I Want, but am not Going to Get for Christmas All seven items on my wish list are attainable. And most are both readily and easily so. We can do this, every one of us. What I don't understand is why we're not even trying.

As to Afghanistan, this Thanksgiving it was ‘Thanks, but No Thanks.' If you want to go to Bazaar, that's the route. The arguments concerning Afghanistan — for US military actions and against them — are much like that. Though the question about the road to and ‘why' either never gets asked, or the rationales are just as weak as the presumption there could ever be a reason I'd head out in December to reach Bazaar.
