Let the Hard Times Roll!

It’s rough times for me,  I haven’t had a real job with benefits since 2006 and haven’t had health insurance since my COBRA ran out in April 2007. I could no longer afford to make payments when they jumped from less than $200 a month to more than $600 a month. I try to be [...]

Extreme Makeover, the Guantanamo Edition

Alleged terrorist Khalid Sheik Mohammed has the distinction of taking one of the most publicized but unflattering pictures seen around the world. Every time I see that picture of him on the left, I cringe. My driver’s license picture is bad, but not that bad. He’s wearing a stretched out t-shirt tha

Link of the Day: Countdown with Keith Olbermann

The hype and the reality of President Obama’s speech to school children yesterday is broken down brilliantly by Keith Olbermann. I don’t know about you, but these angry conservatives scare the poopy-crap out of me, the America they live in is very different from the America I live in. Countdown mont

Michael Steele Shows His Softer, Gentler Side

The HNIC of the GOP was speaking at Howard University the other day and of course, there’s a video of it.  At the onset, you should know that I detest Michael Steele. He’s a sorry excuse for a chairman and is exactly what the Republicans need to further diminish their reputation with people of color

The U.S.S. Constitution and Other Health Care Reform Lies

I wish President Obama would stop trying to befriend his enemies. He’s losing momentum and credibility on health care reform. He hasn’t done a very good job at making his case for reform. The lies and rumors have much more credibility than they should. From the rumored death panel lies to the aborti

C is for Crazy

Fox News host and fear monger Glenn Beck has broken out the chalkboard to incite even more fear in his pea-brained audience. The big word last week was OLIGARHY, except Beck misspelled it and even worse, most of his audience probably didn’t notice it anymore than they noticed his lame attempt at con

I’m 1,000 Percent With You…At Least For Now Anyway

Surely as the sun rises and sets, you can except RNC Chairman Michael Steele to say something retarded. No offense intended to those who might be mentally or developmentally challenged. He sticks his foot in his mouth so often that I think most people don’t take him seriously about anything. He’s in

Universal Healthcare = Reverse "Classicism"

I’m wondering how much got donated to the collection plate over at Hope Christian Church in Washington D.C. Bishop Harry Jones, a cancer survivor, is opposed to health care reform for moral reasons. Someone must have also slipped the conservative talking points against health care reform in the coll

Of Hitler and Healthcare

I like Congressman Barney Frank. He’s practical, whip smart and has the ability to cut through all of the foolishness regardless of the issue. This time he addresses a concern by one of his constituents about health care reform. Of course there are references to Nazis and Hitler but what debate or t
