Pope Francis the 1st: Habemus papam or hocus pocus?

March 13, 2013

1

So, Argentinian Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the new Pope, Francis the First. Wow! How bad does the Catholic church’s reputation have to be if the Vatican is now openly pandering to Latinos? Pope Francis says he’s going to bring a “fresh new face to the Catholic church.”  At age 76?  Can’t you just see […]

National Sales Tax: Not *the* solution, but *a* solution

March 1, 2013

2

It’s safe to say that the current United States tax code – all 84,319 pages of it – is almost as popular among the vast majority of Americans as the science teacher who gives a pop quiz, a test and seven hours of homework on a Friday. America has what is arguably the world’s most […]

Kick, kick, kick the can, always down the road. Never solve a single thing, just whine and blame and goad. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-34222_162-57564747-10391739/house-gop-to-seek-three-month-debt-limit-hike Old Fibber Cantor sat in a chair.

They complaining that he isn’t appointing women. They’re complaining that he isn’t appointing minorities. They’re complaining that he isn’t appointing the disabled. And, of […]

The edge of the fiscal cliff; with nowhere to go but up

December 18, 2012

It fascinates me to watch (often reluctantly) the endless parroting of Republican sound bites, talking points and blanket statements about the “dangers” of the fiscal cliff. One should not that the same partisan pundits who are bashing the President for having a bad plan are the same malcontents who spent the last year dutifully passing […]

Let’s talk about Romney’s record as Governor

October 16, 2012

After nine months of desperately trying to get anyone to talk about anything other than his record as Governor of Massachusetts, suddenly Mitt Romney wants to brag about what a fantastic job he did, and why that experience makes him more qualified for the presidency than Barack Obama.

The Republican definition of “facts” is that it’s an acronym: GOP House of Representatives F.A.C.T.S. = Fictitious Allegations, Contrived Theories and Spin GOP Senate F.A.C.T.S. = Farcical Antics, Conspiratorial Theater, and Spin Romney F.A.C.T.S. = False Attempts to Convince TEAbaggers of Sincerity Ryan F.A.C.T.S. = Falsify Anything to Create a Theocratic System
