Millions of machines of death, that require only the twitch of one finger to operate, floating about in an atmosphere of easy access can only result in many needless killings. I have no desire to “take people’s guns away”. Continue reading
Online Commenter: Are we a Democratic nation? No, we are a constitutional republic. Don’t know the difference? You probably shouldn’t be voting then.
Really LL? Actually we are a vast wilderness home to hundreds of tribes of native peoples. It’s hard to recognize now because of all the illegal aliens who came a-calling and a-killing. The same illegal aliens now who claim sovereignty under God’s laws. The same illegals and their descendants who want to arrest those currently designated as illegals and make sure they can’t work or go to school or feed their families. The same illegals who can’t wait to persecute and deport those present-day illegals who have the audacity to want a better life. Makes sense right? Yes, if you’re greedy, selfish and insane. Or a Republican politician. Same difference.
Operator in Mine Collapse Resulting in 9 Deaths Pleads Guilty to Two Misdemeanors and a $500K Fine
Nine deaths caused by health and safety violations equals two misdemeanors and a half-million fine? That’s not quite $60K and a fifth of a misdemeanor per life. A bargain price. Simple cost of doing business. No big deal. So glad to see corporatism alive and well in our great country. After all, there are more people than mines, and therefore they are more expendable, and the going market value of a life should reflect that. But if someone had blown that mine up with no one in it and got caught, they would be called a terrorist and been put in jail for years. Gotta love equal justice, don’t you? Let’s all sing something patriotic.
Some Want a Parade for Iraq Veterans Since the Super Bowl Champion Giants Get One
A parade for Iraq veterans? Really? What are we celebrating? That they were ruthlessly used by George Bush and company to invade a country that had done nothing to us? That thousands of American troops died needlessly and tens of thousands were maimed for no reason or purpose other than profit? That millions of innocent Iraqis died as a direct result of our invasion and occupation? Continue reading
Science Teachers and the Obstacles to Teaching Climate Change
Galileo is a perfect example of what happens when teaching the truth puts your life and livelihood at risk. Obviously we have come no farther than that. The corporatists would have us believe that 2 plus 2 equals 3 because, very simply, it means more profits for them. As long as they continue to own the government and the media, the truth will continue to receive a harsh boot heel. Continue reading

G.O.P. Bill Would Block Food Stamps and Jobless Pay for Millionaires
Wow, this is huge! Republicans strike a ringing blow for the common man. This will show those grubbing millionaires, while leaving the safety net intact for the truly needy folks making $999,999 or less. Continue reading
Definition of a Newt
Gingrich, a roly-poly little smarmy butterball of self-aggrandizing greed, soaked in narcissism, breaded with unctuousness, baked at 180 degrees from integrity, served with cruelty for all and justice for none, to be taken with mountains of salt, sure to fire up indigestion and repulsion, a carcinogenic masterpiece, a fantastical turkey waiting not to be carved, but to carve, a noxious gift to be delivered to wives surprised to be divorced in their hospital beds. And co-incidentally, a fine piece of belly-slithering workmanship many Republicans feel would be perfect for the Presidency.
On Starbucks Forced Arbitration Clause in Its Gift Cards
let’s start by holding accountable those companies and the people who run them who have no problem habitually deceiving and defrauding and harming, all in the name of making a profit no matter what the cost to others. Continue reading
