Mean, Loathsome Individuals

Mean, Loathsome Individuals

Comments 2 comments

These people – yes, that’s the perjorative phrase “these people” – fill me with bewilderment, disgust and just plain old loathing. Baby used as a weapon: In Erie, Pennsylvania, a month-old baby was critically injured when anti-mom Chytoria Graham (27) “allegedly” swung the baby through the air to strike her boyfriend – with her baby – in a domestic dispute. The baby suffers from a fractured skull and bleeding in the brain. Four other children were removed from the home….

Georgia Judicial Elections Public Financing Needed

Georgia Judicial Elections Public Financing Needed

Comments 0 Comment

Action from Common Cause Georgia elects its judges, and doing so has worked pretty well over the years. However, we are now seeing high stakes races with big money coming in from attorneys and business interests. This year’s race for Supreme Court is heading towards a million dollars. Even the judges themselves generally feel uncomfortable raising big bucks to fund their election campaigns. Shouldn’t we feel uncomfortable too? There is a better way, already in use in other states, and…

Olbermann Death Threat

Olbermann Death Threat

Comments 2 comments

I didn’t know until this morning that Keith Olbermann had received a letter in the mail, a letter that contained white powder – at his home, complete with a note that said it was in response to his commentary against the president. Olbermann did exactly what he should have done by calling NYPD for HazMat and going to the hospital. That’s standard procedure for a possible biohazard. Sending threatening letters is a federal crime, and adding the white powder –…

No More Free Pass for Bush

No More Free Pass for Bush

Comments 1 comment

Great B Movie stuff, for sure. But don’t let the bumbling appeal fool you. Whether Bush’s “problem” is real or artificial, it functions to encourage disbelief about the nature of his presidency and his administration. He seems like just a regular guy, a little dim, maybe a puppet, but not a “bad guy.” Right? Wrong. What is he really for? Power, control, greed, war, death. What is he really against? Democracy, education, truth, science, privacy, equality, justice for all, our…

Bill Clinton on Fox News

Bill Clinton on Fox News

Comments 1 comment

I don’t always agree with Bill Clinton, but he sure cheered me up today. I was starting to think he’d completely lost his mind, hanging about with the Bushes. CLINTON: Now, I will answer all those things on the merits, but first I want to talk about the context in which this arises. I’m being asked this on the FOX network. ABC just had a right- wing conservative run in their little “Pathway to 9/11,” falsely claiming it was based…
