  • Obama's declining poll numbers

    President Obama is doing a good job as a President, his main problem is trying to please the Republican Party. The Republicans killed health care in 1993 and they are going to do the same things in 2009, because the GOP allows corporate America to use them against their own best intreast. I have an 82 year old friend who TOTALY lives off social ...

  • Re: Japan is just becoming like the U.S.

    Actually, part of the current economic problem in Japan is the younger generation is opting out of the very consumer society that supercharged the economic engine in the 60s and 70s. This is the first carless generation (kuruma-banare) that is hamstringing domestic auto sales. Ironic in that the young have less money to buy new cars precisely ...

  • Obama

    When the people understand the joke is on Obama, we will see change, and Obama will not be making jokes about how much people love him when it happens.

  • You are getting this signing statement business dead wrong

    The media reporting on Obama's signing statement has been hopelessly shallow and erroneous. Smart media outlets -- including, sadly, Slate -- have assumed that if all signing statements are the same, and if Obama issues one, he is must be employing a Bush-esque tactic. That is simply wrong. Yesterday's signing statement was aimed at ...

  • Change

    The reason no one repairs toasters--or TVs or other small home appliances--anymore is a simple economic calculus--the cost of repair is usually much higher than the cost of replacement, which in most cases will be more technologically advanced than its predecessor. In addition, I can relatively easily buy the replacement at any of a number of ...

  • Why I'm Not Sorry Bush Won

    Christopher Hitchens concludes: ''It's just that there's an element of hubris in all this current hope-mongering and that I am beginning to be a little bit afraid to think of what Wednesday morning will feel like.'' President-elect Obama has persuaded a majority of the voters in a majority of the states that he ''will change the way we do ...

  • Re: Why Thongs?

    Some clothing items are just more fun than others and thongs are fun. I put my designs on t-shirts, aprons, clocks, etc., and nothing elicits more glee than the thongs. This Christmas I gave many Obama: Yes We Can thongs to my friends and family - knowing that most of them wouldn't wear them - and everyone has a great story about how they made ...

  • Swear Burris in Now!

    As much as I believe Burris is a bad appointment, I do think that his is a legal appointment and that he should be sworn in and take the office. Too many of us make the emotional error of mixing up right and wrong with legal and illegal. This is true in polics generally...politics is often immoral, dirty and dispicable. Because these are law ...

  • Obama & Smoking Cigarettes

    Being a cigarette smoker does not make anyone a bad person. It's amazing how judgemental American's can be about someone other then themselves. If half of us took stock in our own individual problems as intensely as we scrutinize others AND actually did something to make a personal change, this indeed would CHANGE America.
