Texas’ Christian Coalition Goes Too Damned Far

I am providing a link to the MSNBC site, where a comprehensive article on what just went down in Teas can be found. Once you’ve read it, please come back here and discuss!
Among other things, how the hell do you remove Thomas Jefferson as an “example of an influential political philosopher”? The man wrote the [...]

Goodbye California

I really do believe we’ve come to the end of the road here in California. The small-time politicians in Sacramento have bickered us into near bankruptcy and it’s only a matter of time before we have no money left to fight over. The Governor of the State seems intent on dismantling the public education system; [...]

The Haiti Earthquake

The land of Papa Doc hasn’t changed much since he left. Corrupt government still rules and the people of Haiti still feed their children mud cakes so their little bellies are full. Katie Couric, who has over the last year, risen in my estimation to that of a damned fine news person, [...]

Adventures in Health Care 2: What Hold Does Holy Joe Have Over The Democratic Senate?

Does anyone else think this is totally fucked up besides me?

Hypocrisy?

But it came from a pig! It’s not okay to eat a strip of bacon but it’s okay to refine 10 pounds of the stuff and call it vegan?! I can’t be the only person who doesn’t buy this crap.

Flying The Flag

If US citizens are so bloody concerned about remembering people who died untimely, then do it across the board. This country should be in a perpetual state of mourning for all the kids who’ve been killed in defense of this nation.

Why Do I Not Buy The Santa Cruz Sentinel?

“What a lot of unsympathetic, uninformed and morally absurd comments I’ve read here!”

Adventures In Health Care

Them: The insurance company said it was too soon to refill it.
Me: But it’s a brand new prescription. How can I refill something I’ve never gotten before?
Them: Well, you must have or they wouldn’t have said so.
Me: Would you call them and check again please?
Them: We don’t do that.
