Liberals Have Guns Too, Ya Know... Right wingers are always fretting about how liberals are on the verge of taking their guns away. Which makes me wonder if they realized how many liberals out here are just as well armed as they are? Because we are.. We're just more polite about it.

Profile in Courage Time for Big O On July 2, 1964 a southerner, President Lyndon B. Johnson, signed the Civil Rights Act into law. I only mention this because right now, this month and next month are President Barack Obama's Lyndon B. Johnson moment. He will either do the right thing, and go down in history alongside Johnson and Lincoln and FDR, or he won't.

Co-Ops: The Three-Card Monte of Health Reform Feel the fool? Well, you should. Or at least you will if you let them get away with the latest health care reform bait and switch.

Health Care Guide for Complete Dummies Frankly it really pisses me off that I even have to waste our time discussing these non-issues. But, if you have one of these right wingnuts in your family or on your email list, send them this cheat sheet.

GOP to America: Be Afraid... Please. America is in a real pickle. No, actually in a jar of pickles -- deadly pickles. If the terrorists don't get you, your own government will track you down and have your doctor kill your ass.

No Public Option, No Re-election, NO KIDDING Suddenly when it comes to health care reform, "how are we going to pay for this" has become a consuming question on Capitol Hill. Why now?

Speaking Ill of the Dead This August I turn 64. In 1965 I lost my student deferment and ended up in the US Marine Corps. That makes me a Robert McNammar survivor.

No Longer Your Father's GOP The GOP, once the party of rational, intelligent beings such as Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Ike, has been taken over by America's lowest common denominator-types.

Iraq, Bush I, and BNL and Barack Obama's DOJ I wrote the story that appears below a decade and half ago. Why am I reposting it here, now? It has to with those pesky non-existent WMD and what the George H. Bush administration knew and what they did about it. And, since they knew a lot, if what they told sonny, W. Bush, when as he greased up the wheels of war.

Our Own Harvest of Ignorance While much of the Middle East struggles with its harvest of ignoramuses, America is just beginning to notice we have our own crop of under-educated morons. They are weeds and they are spreading at an alarming rate. Should we leave them untended much longer, they will strangle all that is good, useful and progressive.

Dying for Change Over the past few months my wife, Susan, and I have been right up to our chins in elder-care issues. My father is 90, my mother is 87 and Sue's mom is 99 heading straight for the century mark. And it's been a real eye opener!

Intervention Repeatedly we, and almost every other country on earth, have asked, even pleaded, with Israel to stop building settlements on Palestinian land and to stop expanding those already built. And just as repeatedly one Israeli government after another have thumbed their nose at those pleadings.

News Blues Cable news is nothing like the news business I was in before hanging it up. First of all, we didn't try to keep a story alive beyond its natural life. We just reported the damn thing with as little la-de-da as possible.

Whose "Day of Reckoning?" Here's a question to ponder this morning. It's one I've been pondering for some weeks now: Is it worth your time and effort trying to engage in rational discussions with the increasingly nutty and frantic mouth-breathers on the political right? Or are were they all genetically wired at birth to become hybrids of Grandpa Simpson and Mr. Burns?

Who You Callin' a Minority? The conservative-leaning Court has slowly chipped away at the Voting Rights Act, under constant prodding from white conservative groups and organizations. Which leads me to issue this warning: Memo to White Conservatives: Better be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.

They Are Too Big to WHAT? The concept of "too big to fail" is costing us trillions of dollars, and counting. How much will the politically charged decision that some in America are "too big to jail," cost us?
