Lieberman’s lack of ethics is catching up to him… and John Stewart IS noticing!

What does a mid-midterm election mean for 2010 and 2012?

A night of change? Not really. Looks like Dems and Obama needs more time…

“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” – Barack Obama

This Sunday morning (Aug.30, 2009), many of the political pundit shows discussed the loss of Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy.  One show, “This Week w/ George Stephanopolis”, discussed not on the the former Senators life, but also a recently released report by Attorney General Eric Holder.  The report can best be summed up by a New York Times overview of the CIA:
On Aug. 24, it was revealed that the Justice Department’s ethics office, the Office of Personal Responsibility, had  recommended reversing the Bush administration and reopening nearly a dozen prisoner-abuse cases, …

In the last few weeks, health care has become a HUGE hot-button issue.  The absolute and outright lies coming from demonstrators have grown immensely in numbers.
This has been followed up by violence and death threats to liberal politicians.  I spoke to a friend about a month ago about the protests when they started and I predicted the violence would follow.  Health care is shaping up to be a something that the Right is willing to become violent over.  The lack of education on the current health care situation and the …

As the last few weeks have churned up new findings on water-boarding and its initiators, so very few have taken the time to actually analyze fallacies of it and the portrait it paints for the U.S. and the world.
On Friday, May 22, 2009, a conservative talk show host (self-proclaimed Libertarian) took the challenge and was water-boarded for 6 seconds.  Here’s the video:
The conclusion that Mr. Mancow comes to is one that the ENTIRE Republican party is/will be coming to:
“It is way worse than I thought it would be…I don’t want …

The length of time it takes for the blogosphere to react to a congressional session is now, mere minutes.
It has come to this contributor’s (also a high school history teacher) attention that some of our representatives need a history lesson.  Luckily, the lesson was provided by another media source, CNN.
The lack of insight should shame her into hiding. More than anything, though, she lacks the understanding of the power that bloggers hold and the scrutiny that they put our government under.  This is not the first time she has mistakenly …

We, the American people, are a group that make up one, single woman. We are beautiful, lazy, over-weight, multi-ethnic, and educated to a certain extent.  We are set in our ways and we are ALWAYS fashionable, in virtually every way. Understanding us is a difficult task, but the egotism that makes up the heart and soul of this country gives the appearance of simplicity.
The American people have had difficult past relationships with leaders and if we’re really going to look at the history of men that have courted her, we …

The GOP (Grand Old Party), or the Republican Party, as the postmodern public knows it, is a driven, counter-cultural, and traditional machine in the political scene.  In this posting, I intend to outline the GOP as a “political” party, not as a governmental business.
To begin, “politics” NEEDS to be understood as the process by which groups of people make decisions.  It is an emotional and ideological noun that has the tendency to be confused with “government” which is the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit.  “Politics” …
