It's Election Eve here in the United States, and the pent up energy of Americans who have felt helpless and hopeless for years is palpable.  Walking down the street, even coming into work, you can see people today have a certain kind of nervous energy in anticipation of the Obama victory they're hoping for, but afraid to predict with certainty. Let's not lose this energy.  Let's harness it - not just on Election Day, but beyond then.  Let's keep our support for Barack Obama at a high level... Read Full Story

There are three 0s for this political button . There are the two obvious ones we can see here. There’s O for Obama, of course. He’s the Big O of 2008. With luck, we’ll be calling him President Barack Obama next year. Then there’s Oregon. That’s also relatively straightforward. The West Virginia Democratic presidential primary is in a few more days now, but even giving West Virginia its due, West Virginia is not big enough to settle the score between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton...

The price of a barrel of oil is above $125 dollars. The cost of a gallon of gasoline is almost four dollars. Global warming, fueled by carbon emissions from gasoline engines, is accelerating. It’s a good time to consider alternatives to America’s culture of the automobile. It’s time to consider the bicycle. There’s no need for a gym to get a good lower-body workout. The bicycle helps a person burn calories even as they put miles of road behind them. Bicycling also encourages people to... Read Full Story

Compared to many other members of Congress, Georgia Democrat Hank Johnson doesn’t get a lot of attention. That’s too bad, because Hank Johnson is one of the best faces the Democratic Party has in the House of Representatives, earning the nickname The Even-Handed Progressive . Congressman Johnson may be from Georgia, but he’s a solid progressive, earning a 75 percent rating from the Progressive Patriots legislative scorecard. He’s voted against dangerous bills like the Big Brother bill to... Read Full Story

Well, Senator Ted Kennedy died today. All the news channels are touting his good works. It seems even they don't want to speak ill of the dead. I have never understood that concept. While wait until someone dies to speak nice things about them? If you have no problem dragging them through the mud while they are living, why wait until they die to say something nice about them? But I digress. I have been reading all sorts of opinions on Kennedy today. Everything from the very good to the very... Read Full Story

It’s time for the 2008 presidential election to get fishy. The sharp drop in the salmon runs on the Pacific Coast this year, and their profound effect on people’s lives there, is a wakeup call. Fish populations in freshwater and saltwater, Atlantic, Pacific and inland, are plummeting. It’s a crisis of unprecedented proportions. The next President of the United States is going to have to deal with issues of American waters and the ecological crisis in the Earth’s oceans and rivers. George... Read Full Story

For decades environmentalists have been urging others to help save the whales. Who ever thought to save the sawfish ? It turns out that in the 1970s, just as whales were being brought under some protection, sawfish populations around the were being decimated. Oh, it’s true that sawfish had some earlier declines. However, it was in the 1970s that sawfish populations plummeted in a truly dramatic fashion. Since that time, sawfish around the world have slowly begun, one by one, to completely... Read Full Story

I really didn't want to touch this with a 10 foot pole but the absurdity of people wanting to keep their kids out of school to avoid hearing a positive message from the leader of the free world is sheer lunacy to me. One author of an associated column article suggests a Republican Party "rebuttal" I guess you'd call it....in other words if President Obama can speak to our children (since he's the leader of the Democratic Party) then Michael Steele should be able to speak to them as well...

In 2004, America asked Santa Claus for a simple gift: Please, Santa Claus, dump Bush! Alas, we were not good little boys and girls. Or, maybe, we didn’t give Santa enough cookies with his milk. Whatever we did wrong, Santa decided not to give America what it was asking for. Four years later, America makes this promise to Santa: We will give you as many cookies as you want. We will be good. We will do whatever you ask, Santa. Just, please, this year, give us Barack Obama for President in... Read Full Story
