Harsh reality, what is to you? I know to me it is a cold bitch that repeatedly slaps the shit out of you until you open your eyes and see something for what it truly is. There is along the way smaller and gentler steps to try and get you to either see where you are going, or what the end result might be of the action(s) you are taking. Harsh reality it seems is something that is blocked from ever gaining entrance through the doors of our illustrious leaders to whom we entrust the governance o... Read Full Story
Well in another piece here I will attempt to point out the obvious. However, I won't be able to point all of the hypocrisy spewed forth by the right wing conservatives. That should also include some echoed by Democrats as well. Usually, I don't expect conservatives to read this piece. Yet I took great pride a year and a half ago when Real Clear Politics featured an article of mine calling Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) House Minority Leader out for comments he made about those that didn't suppor... Read Full Story
As every day the hope that there might be any real health reform seems to drift further and further away, today's little headlines helped me form a great debate forum that we need to hold. Hell it would only last a few minutes, but it should be broadcast nationally on prime time TV so everyone who failed to support change despite their true dissatisfaction with our health system today. I would volunteer to be on this panel, and I would invite both Sara Palin and Glenn Beck to join in this di... Read Full Story
Over the weekend (yeah it took me this long to write this), I was scanning the headlines of the blogosphere and a puzzling question kept reoccurring in the back of my mind. Have we gone too far as a society to turn back? It bothered me and in some ways haunts me because the answer has a direct bearing on the world both mine and your children will inherit. Being a skeptic and pessimist naturally my conclusions are a bit darker then most after recent revelations about the secret deals the White... Read Full Story
The other day I was listening to a news radio station and heard a story concerning a father in Wisconsin who let his daughter die on the floor in their home while he, the mother and group of adults prayed over her. His defense? "He believed God would heal his daughter and he never expected her to die". In another statement he justified his actions claiming; "If I go to the doctor, I am putting the doctor before God," Neumann testified. "I am not believing what he said he would do."Today, in ...

Yes it has been longer than I planned since I posted. Sorry, but the world is still here and I am not the cause of any great losses. Now to the point. What the hell is going on people when you are too damned lazy to fight for your rights and allow the U.S. Senate, specifically Max Bacus (D-Mont)to sink any possibility that you will be ensured of needed health care? So much information and misinformation out there it is confusing right? Wrong! I hope if you are one of those who sits on the fe... Read Full Story
Benn away for a bit and sorry for the absence, looking for a new job as both my wife and I were laid off. Came across this article today while at work at my part time job. The headline reads State Department Nominees placed on hold by a single Senator, Sen Kyle (R-Nev) because he's not satisfied with the information he is getting back from the Administration on the progress of nuclear arms control with Russia.Senator Kyle a quick question for you please? Where the hell were you when President... Read Full Story
With all the ups and downs, changes in laws, an Administration prior to this Administration that considered the opinion of the voters and their concerns with the thoughtful commentary and consideration of, "so", all of a sudden we find ourselves wrestling with issues of immediate concern that some suggest again may change the very fabric of this nation. I am not talking about the suspension of Habeas Corpus, nor even the illegal rewriting of the Constitution. I am talking about some... Read Full Story
