A Little History as I See it
Back in the 30s, Tom Watson of IBM was asked by Wall street to talk to his friend FDR and ask him to back off his planned regulations. FDR’s answer was something like, “Tom, you go back and tell your banker friends that I’m trying to save this country’s economy. And if I succeed, I […]
SCOTUS and the republicans
There it is! The republicans could not eliminate, or put an asterisk, or whatever to remove Barack Obama from history. He is indeed a black president with significant accomplishments and after he leaves office, he will have existed in our history. Regarding the fanatic Christian reaction to gay marriage ruling, I continue to ask […]
Trump and Jindal enter the clown car.
The republican clown car is filling up rapidly. now Jindal and Trump. It seems that all these guys that have fallen into disfavor locally are running for president. Christie, Jindal, Walker. Jindal adds nothing to the group. Trump on the other hand is the gift that keeps on giving to the democrats. Most of the candidates […]
Repeal the 2nd Amendment
This treatment of the 2nd amendment as sacred is monumental bullshit. It was established after a revolution against the British in a rural, wild society in an age of one-shot muskets. There is no longer a need to permit citizens to bear arms. Against whom or what? Against our own government? And of course, we […]
Jeb – what’s his name?
Interesting that Jeb Bush is going to play down his surname. How is he going to do that? “Hi, I’m Jeb – can’t remember my last name.”
Solomon’s Dozen – coming out in paperback
My book Solomon’s Dozen, Confessions of a Dirty Old Man will be out in paperback in a few weeks. I’ll keep you posted. It is currently available for download along with my other works at www.smashwords.com. Look me up.
The Student Loan Travesty
I just read an article about the burden of student loans. It’s a system that is as bad as our lack of health care was before Obamacare. The government has a moral and economic obligation to provide affordable or free higher education to those who want and deserve it. I paid nothing for college and […]
Republicans = Ha!
Rachel Maddow predicted there would be 19 republicans running. The republican clown car is already at 10. She may be right. Ask yourself if there is even one of them so far that gives a shit about the country or its people?
Illustrious Madison Grads
James Madison HS in Brooklyn, my alma mater, has had many illustrious graduates. Politically, we’ve had (that I know of) 3 senators (Schumer, Sanders and Coleman) and a supreme court justice (Ruth Bader Ginsburg).This year we have a longshot chance of even a president. Go Bernie, Go
Beau Biden and Dick Cheney
No one should go through what Joe Biden went through. Beau served his country in every way and should be honored and remembered. The travesty is that Dick (Darth Vader) Cheney, that war-mongering, draft-dodging, liar still survives and keeps pumping out bullshit. If there was ever a case for repealing the first amendment he’s it. […]
