Every time I worry about John McCain actually becoming our next president, I just remember what happens to McCain every time he opens his mouth: he puts his foot in it.
Now that McCain has a one-on-one battle ahead of him with Barack Obama- a battle complete with a series of debates- the entire country will […]

Obama’s Biden His Time
Posted on 10 June 2008
For the first time in my life, I’m going to say something positive about Dick Cheney.
Cheney may be a war criminal, he may have been the mastermind behind virtually every George W. Bush policy debacle, he may have held the Constitution and Bill of Rights in contempt… but Cheney showed us that the position of Vice […]
Great Expectations… Huge Disappointments
Posted on 04 June 2008
As each day goes by, Hillary Clinton reminds me more and more of the Miss Havisham character in Great Expectations.
In the great Charles Dickens’ novel, Miss Havisham, a wealthy and powerful woman, was left at the altar. The disappointment so profound, that she snapped. Miss Havisham never removed her wedding dress and stopped all of the clocks […]
Scott McClellan… War Criminal (Part II)
Posted on 01 June 2008
Last week, I took Scott McClellan to task (I guess calling someone a War Criminal is taking them to task) for his gutless, opportunistic, after-the-fact, attack on the George Bush administration in his new book- What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception.
Fortunately, McClellan has been vilified from voices all over […]

Hear and Now: A Standing… and Loud Ovation!
Posted on 12 May 2008
Filmmaker Irene Taylor Brodsky has performed a minor miracle with her documentary film Hear and Now. In just 85 minutes, Brodsky presents us with not one, but two incredible movies.
The first is a sensational medical drama. It is the story of a married couple in their mid-60s, deaf from birth, who choose to undergo a radical surgical […]

McCain Too Old? It all Depends
Posted on 23 April 2008
You’ve been seeing a lot of ads with spry, old people lately.
Whether the ad is for Viagra, Ameriprise Financial, or Cialis, those 70-somethings are out there running marathons, jumping out of planes, running with the bulls in Pamplona and having hours of acrobatic sex.
Ok, so I’m exaggerating a little… but just a little.
These ads are […]

Insurance Companies Playing God Over Drug Coverage
Posted on 15 April 2008
If you don’t think health-care reform is a critical issue in this year’s presidential election, think again.
Recent changes in insurance coverage for prescription drugs will make it impossible for many of our most ill citizens: people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, to afford the treatments that would either save their lives […]

Heaven Help Us

[N]o religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States- Article VI of the United States Constitution
Religion is a matter that lies solely between a man and his God… History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government.”- Thomas Jefferson

Ode to Richard Quest
Posted on 20 April 2008
A wandering anchor named Quest
Heard the words, “You’re under arrest!”
“I’ve Meth in a Zip-Lock,”
“And a toy in my left sock.”
They’ll help him in rehab, I guess.

Willie Randolph, Barack Obama and the Race Card
Posted on 27 May 2008
As anyone who has followed the 2008 presidential campaign knows, racism is a fact of life in America.
Much of White America will not vote for Barack Obama purely on the basis of his race. We have seen that in West Virginia. We have seen it in Kentucky. We will see it on a grand scale […]

You’ve Come a Long Way, Babe
Posted on 21 April 2008
It was terrific to see that Danica Patrick won her first IndyCar race on Sunday.
With the victory, Patrick became the first woman ever to win an IndyCar race. The win represents one more step taken by women athletes, one more barrier shattered. Patrick’s name joins an impressive list, one that includes such icons as Billie […]
