Mirror, Mirror
What claptrap. Jack Shafer pontificates on the failings of other writers for being too enamored with various vice presidents over the years without realizing the absurdness of a writer wasting his time making these observations. It is the journalistic equivalent of pulling a speck out of another's eye before attending to the plank jutting from his ...

FDR
But FDR did win a fourth term, Harry Truman did become president at FDR's death, supposition about what might have been is fruitless. FDR is dead, Elvis is dead, the difference is that Elvis is still in business through his estate, FDR is a fading memory as is his estate. FDR's estate, what little there is of it, is in the imagination of ...

Harry Reid's Health Bill
Harry Reid has no plan of his own, his plan is a rehash of several versions of Nancy Pelosi's House bill plus Hillary Clinton's 1993 failed scheme and both are from demands of their financiers. If anyone in the entire world believes that Harry Reid is in anyway concerned with their well-being in any matter of personal concern, they are fooling ...

Free Market Competition (no, really)
My solution? Require open access to network capacity & performance information so the consumer can make their own informed assessment prior to inking a contract with a wireless provider. Then market pressure would lead to price competition based on reality. The FCC and any state regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over utilities have the ...

Comment
I think people are making this racial and when you break it down the only reason he is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, is because he is black. What exactly has he done that is so great? That is the real question. After bringing up the school ordeal, Obama is receiving less support from children still in elementary & secondary school. The ...

Joe Wilson’s “You Lie!”
At the heart of Rep. Wilson’s outburst is racism, pure and simple. When he, and some others, look at Obama, they see a black man, not POTUS. Barack Obama has always acted in a very dignified manner. He is not confrontational as was, say, FDR. He deserves our respect and civility. The attempts to de-legitimize his presidency are based ...

Hypocrisy and contradiction.
Most religions passionately revere faith and commitment in their followers. However deep within the tenets of these religions there is also supposed to be a reverence for the follower who shuns all earthly wealth and possessions and devotes himself solely to the growth of the church and the spreading of the doctrine.

One man treading in a sea of shortsighted politicians
Obama, nor any other leader can fix anything, no matter what policies he wants to pass and whether a majority of Americans agree with it. What he can do, which it seems he is trying the best he can, is reach out to us to think outside the box of what we currently think is normal and comfortable. Even during his campaign for president, he said it ...
