"Not with my tax dollars!!!" is a common cry amongst Americans whenever our government is found to be funding things we don't like. And of course, we see polls on a regular basis that try to tell us how we feel on any given issue. Then every 10 years our government takes a census report and gathers the information with all the speed and dexterity of aincient Rome. But why do we depend on these archaic, limited and easily skewed methods to tell our representatives what we want? There mi...
This question was recently asked by a popular television commentator. It's not the 1st time i heard the question. But , for some reason, it has stuck in my head for a couple of weeks now. It is a given that the abortion debate divides people about 1/2 and 1/2 in this country.

I'm not here to debate that. For t...
The Sopranos, America's favorite family of criminals, will be coming to a close next month. Currently, there are 2 episodes remaining, the 1st of which is scheduled to air June 3rd. Most of the attention on the show is of course, about the crime. About the "whackings" that come nearly every week, and have been a staple in this final season. About who got "pinched" and who's going to "rat" and who's going to be a "stand up guy." But the show began, and always has the underlying theme o...
In the 2004 Presidential campaign, America was introduced to a new term for lying. The term came from a group of pro-republican partisn hacks who's leader had a history of being recruited by people like Richard Nixon to smear and discredit rivals. In both Nixon's and the 2004 Bush campaign, that man who was hired to carry out a mission of propoganda and smear campaigns was John O'Neill. The group John O'Neill founded for the purposes of serving the Bush campaign, like it had the Nix...

Congressman Rogers, a republican, has charged Jack Murtha with violating house rules concerning a measure Murtha tried to put into recent legislation to save the National Drug Intelligence Center, a facility that "fights the war on drugs" and is located in Johnstown, Pa. Johnstown is in Murtha's district. If the allegations pan out. It will be up to Speaker Pelosi to live up to her words regarding "cleaning up" the house. OF course, the pundits have already damned both Pelosi and Murtha,...
For another "scare story." The administration's been taking it on the chin lately. Oh, here we go...(as I turn around to see the "breaking news")... "Los Angeles Airport Evacuated Due To Suspicious Package" Ok, everything's back to normal. Carry on.
It seems the Attorney General's days may be numbered. Today, Senator Arlen Spector joined a growing chorus of bi partisan lawmakers calling for the removal or resignation of Alberto Gonzales. He described Gonzales's continued tenure as a threat to our future. "I have a sense that when we finish our investigation, we may have the conclusion of the tenure of the attorney general," Specter, R-Pa., said during a committee hearing. "I think when our investigation is concluded, it'll be cl...

After the 1st round of GOP-ardy on May 3rd, ABC "gaffed" and neglected to mention Texas Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul in their post debate poll. turns out, Paul won that debate handily. Oops. In MSNBC's post debate polling, Paul won as well. C-Span's polling made Paul the winner as well. And on the ultra conservative website, "The Drudge Report," Paul finished a close 3rd at the top of the 10 man pack. Not to mention his YouTube video, which was the most watched political video an...
