Gas this high, this early. Forget driving vacations this year.
Today, I have to buy gas to fuel my generator, to provide power here, as the closest electricity from the “grid” is 15 miles one way and 35 miles the other way. Last week it was $3.14 at the small town I live closest to. Since […]

The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday that “no sound scientific studies” supported the medical use of marijuana, contradicting a 1999 review by a panel of highly regarded scientists.
But it appears to flout the spirit of a 1999 report from the Institute of Medicine, a unit of the National Academy of Sciences.
The institute was appropriately […]

Here’s one more reason to hope that Mr. Rumsfeld is fired!
“And then, someone very close to the President said to me, you know, he won’t fire Rumsfeld because it would be the equivalent of firing himself”, Mr. Tim Russert reported on the Imus show.
Was Mr. Bush saying that if Mr. Rumsfeld goes, then he […]

Have you been watching “Commander In Chief”? I have and I have enjoyed the show. But last night, I was getting more and more uncomfortable watching. It finally hit me what the problem was. It was too realistic. Not the story line of a women as President, but the wheeling, dealing, put party above everything, […]

The Second Bill of Rights. By now we should be on the third or fourth. But we should at least be fighting for these Rights.
If the Democrats want to win in 2006 and especially 2008 they need to get back to the basics of the Democratic Party. The core issues on which we stand. Human […]

Headline: Bush Press Secretary Quits, Rove Ends Policy Role.
This is great news! Not that watching Mr. McClellan try to make sense out of the lies wasn’t great fun. But, it was like the fascination we have for train wrecks. The spectacle was awesome, but still we felt a bit of pain. Almost made us feel […]

Here’s one of the problems when the Government breaks the law. It seems that it is impossible to fix it when it turns out that you were terribly wrong.
Case in point: Two Chinese Muslim men, Abu Bakker Qassim and A’Del Abdu al-Hakim, were rounded up in Pakistan and shipped off to our Guantánamo Gulog. Four […]

As usual with this Administration, if you are either our friend, or at least not a Muslim country, you can be part of the problem, with no sanctions or threats of war, possibly nuclear bombs, being used upon you. But if you are not our friend and especially if you are an Arab nation, we […]

Once again the Bush/Cheney Gang has pulled the strings and the media and all the rest of us have taken our eyes off the most important story. The crime that has been committed.
Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney and Mr. Rove are so good at this. As I have written in a previous Article, whenever a true […]

“Asleep All Over America”:
A really great “article” by Helen and Harry Hightower.
It’s obvious that (the) American government at the highest level is now comprised entirely of world-class liars, yet no matter who lies and how often, the news media continues reporting what these government officials say, as if their word is credible. The […]
