  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • Professional Journalism

    I know you are professional journalists. A profession is a fancy Latin term for the way you express your belief in the one true God as you understand him. Mr. Webster describes profession as the act of taking the vows of a religious community, or: an act of openly declaring or publicly claiming a belief or faith: an avowed religious faith a: a ...

  • A Refreshing Change of Events

    I find it oddly comforting that regardless of any manipulation in the press, when confronted with this latest salacious story, by and large the public says ''meh''. When pressured to join the tarring they fight back. When it comes to reasoned debate, the voices of restrain (in my limited experience) win. More encouraging is the growing ...

  • Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion

    Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

  • Great Review of Some Important Books . . .

Terrorism and Democracy ...

  • Franken on the Hill

    Before we rebuild another country we need to clean our own house. By that I mean send career politicians packing, rather they be republican, democrat or an independent. Sorry this means Ted Kennedy needs to go home and fight his cancer and Oklahoma's Istook needs to return to mopping floors at the radio station. There could be worse things to ...

  • Oh spare me....

    I'm a pretty ticked off white person. First, I'm pretty convinced that the media gains something by not letting go of racism. What will you talk about if it’s actually gone? I've studied sociology and was once told that the only true racism in our society is institutional racism. Well - it's the only racism that really costs any race a pretty ...

  • Presidential Dynasties

    As Daniel Politi points out, Kristof's op-ed for the Times isn't exactly the first time we've herad the issue of a potential Bush-Clinton Presidential monopoly of 24-28 years discussed, though Kristof's clearly pleased to be bringing it to we, the dear readers', attentions. The link to Hendrik Hertzberg's New Yorker ''Comment'' from October ...
