I'm old enough to remember when the black and white television first came out. Not every home had one, so it was a big deal when our dad brought one home. The family would gather around for the Ed Sullivan show, Walt Disney, and Mitch Miller's singalong each week (our family actually followed...

This is an interesting question. The end-of-life care provision was suggested by a Republican congressman who, I believe, had dealt with his own aged mother's wishes. Doctors traditionally ask a close relative (spouse or life partner, for example) if someone severely injured (and unable to...

We don't now---but there was a SHADOW GOVERNMENT under Cheney/Bush. Pay attention to the MSNBC or CNN news when it talks about the covert CIA group established by Rumsfeld, Wolfowicz, Cheney (and who knows if Bush was even informed...he was an idiot)---the one Cheney illegally ordered not to...

The Stimulus was correct, and needs time to work its way through the economy from the ground up. The cutting of $32 billion his first week in office was correct. The freeze put on the second half of the TARP funds fed chairman Ben Benanke and Bush pushed through was correct. Putting oversight...

If you were paying attention last week, GM announced openings for 300 jobs on Bloomberg News, and their stock rose by 7% when two other car companies reportedly lost value. There is a tax break of up to $800 in the Stimulus Bill for those who buy American-made cars. Ten of the 400 banks that...

I'm not sure what your question is, but if you are asking whether santimonious hypocrisy and rigid cult-level fundamentalism helped Democrats in the past election and in preventing the Republicans (as the party currently exists) from gaining either seats or traction, the answer is a resounding YES.

I don't know much about the psychological makeup of Kim Jong IL's son, but the fact that he has received advanced education outside the borders of North Korea may help him be a more enlightened leader. There are some here who might say "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" in their...

You are full of prunes, dear poser...the health care reform bill allows insurance companies to compete still, but introduces a public plan (with a firewall in place) that covers the lower income people your insurance companies would not want anyway. If you are an insurance lobbyist trying to...

I've worked with post-war marines from the Vietnam War, and there is a "lock and load" component to our marines that some in other branches do not have (unless, of course, they are in Special Forces). The whole idea of bootcamp is to, in effect, "brainwash" or to strip away personal pride and...

Most of us are NOT complaining about McCain losing the election---and THANK GOD Sarah Palin is nowhere near higher office! She is an idiotic media hound with no substance to back up her appearance, and McCain (who doesn't even like her anymore) was a 72-year-old who had two bouts with melanoma...

Poppycock! Horsefeathers! You nutwings keep on trying to spread your manure propaganda...The majority of sane Americans do not buy the tripe you attempt to sell, as evidenced by last year's election! The Bush/Cheney administration made us a terrorist nation when they illegally invaded a...

President Obama's experience as a Community Organizer was invaluable in bringing Democrats together from all walks of life, all ages, and in all states. I mean, your dude Jesus was just a carpenter, and look what He was able to accomplish. President Obama makes excellent use of the internet and...

O Republican Noise Machine: We no longer fall for your Karl Rovian attempts to create an "issue" for a media whore who routinely pimps out her daughters in order to grab the limelight---especially after the Republican party refused to let her speak at the fundraiser, choosing Newt (the give his...
