“It’s too complicated.”
There’s a smugness that has overwhelmed our political system. It’s the patronizing, know-it-all, self-congratulating, self-important smugness of our elected officials. Time to do something about it. Continue reading
Pledge: Medicare
Every version of the Ryan budget bill has represented a direct attack on Medicare. Any congressman who supports it is attempting to undermine an efficient program which has provided for the medical needs of millions of Americans. Such treachery must at all costs be confronted and stopped. Continue reading

Pledge: Social Security
This pledge should be presented to any congressman running for re-election this November, who recently voted for what has been termed the Ryan budget. A vote in favor of this horrifying piece of legislation amounts to a war cry for more military aggression and an attack on social security as we now know it. Continue reading

Gridlock or Lockstep?
We may be down but we’re not out. Over the next couple weeks, follow a plan that will take any incumbent down who insists that his rich friends with the big check books are more important than you and I. Continue reading

Trust No Incumbent!
The bribery and blackmail has destroyed any semblance of representative government in contemporary America. We have learned our lesson. The faith both in our democratic system and the politicians we entrusted with the future of our nation and the quality of our lives was misplaced. The system has been corrupted by money and the trustworthiness of our “representatives” in public office been sabotaged. No more apologies. No more excuses. No more bullshit. Trust no incumbent!

Really Bad Television
The whole debt ceiling debacle is a really bad made-for-TV drama. The show should be immediately canceled. It never should have aired in the first place. Continue reading

Congressman Anthony Weiner Is A National Treasure
Weiner’s admission is not a scandal. The only real scandal would be to allow this to trivialize the message and silence the voice of this excellent legislator. Continue reading

“Take me to your leader!”
I personally believe the President, and members of the House and Senate, both Democrat and Republican, fail on all counts to provide anything resembling strong, visionary, decisive leadership. They have proven time and time again to be weak, evasive, cowardly, unimaginative, sometimes simple-minded, at a time in our history that demands much more. Continue reading →
