When an Organization Stands for Nothing and is Opposed to Everything

There is a remarkable parallel today between the Republican party and the NAZI party of the 1930s.

… After they have tried everything else.

In World War II, shortly after we entered on the side of The Allies, things were not going well.  In our effort to supply England with war materials, we were losing a lot of ships.  Our Navy tried all sorts of schemes to get cargo across the Atlantic, but nothing worked.  The Royal Navy was […]

Embarassed Yet?

Well, Republicans, are you embarrassed yet?  As I write this (Wednesday evening) it seems that a last minute budget agreement has been reached.  In the process of doing this, the world has seen that some of the US House of Representatives is so irresponsible that they might not care if a default happened.  The really […]

Take Back our Country

Roughly 50% of the American population could be classified as “white”.  The other half are a mixture of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, etc.  If you are a politician, presumably you want to be able to produce results for all of your constituents.  There is no question that you would be destroyed if you developed policies that […]

Dust to Dust – Texas Roads

Texas governor Rick Perry does, in some ways, represent his state very well.  He is the sort of guy who has rugged good looks and looks right at home in boots and carrying a sidearm.  Actually, he does wear boots and carry a sidearm.  Once you watch an interview with him on TV, you would […]

Who are the Innovators?

In “The Wealth of Nations”, published in 1776, Adam Smith a very learned economist of the time stated that innovation lies in private entrepreneurship.  Ask any Republican and they will probably agree with that statement.  1776 was a long time ago.  Is it possible that things have changed? The state is presumed to be inefficient.  […]

Never Forget

THIS IS A RE-POST OF SOMETHING I WROTE LAST YEAR. The question in my mind is:  What should I never forget?  I live in a community that lost people in the Pentagon.  The damage and loss of life to the Pentagon was, of course, not as great as the twin towers in New York (184 […]

Impeach the Bum

In recent years there has been an impeachment and talks of another impeachment.  Let’s see what is involved.  In the United States, the House of Representatives must pass by a simple majority a list of allegations.  If it passes, the defendant has been “impeached”.  Next, the Senate tries the accused.  To convict, a ⅔ majority […]

He’s Baaaack!

This is the first blog I have written since January.  I know, I know, some of my readers – and maybe all three of them, are saying, “You could have waited longer if you wanted to.”  I think that my driving force was to convince at least one Republican not to vote or, better yet, […]

Guns and More Guns

Yesterday we heard of yet another deranged person having a gun and deciding to kill some innocent people. In this case there was a house fire. The first responders were volunteer firemen in upstate New York. The first two people off the engine were gunned down. What sin did they do? They were trying to […]
