Tue May 21, 2013
- Please, remind me again: Back in 2008/2009, what were the Wall Street bonuses that "had to be paid", while the banks were on the taxpayer's payrolls? I'd bet the total at Goldman Sachs, for one year, was more than all the SES's ever got in their lifetime.
Fired lesbian teacher: Catholic educators union won't back me
Tue May 14, 2013
- It seems like she abided by her contract for 19 years, by "not flaunting it". But as a number of curvy, female, public school teachers have also found out, when you do, you get fired. Now her lawyer can sue the parent who complained, the school, the parish, the Church and the union. After the out of …
NTSB recommends lowering blood alcohol level that constitutes drunken driving
Tue May 14, 2013
- Considering our funding crises with Social Security and Medicare, I am not sure why the government wants to actively prolong lives (there is no such thing as "saving life"). Besides, what is the rush? In a couple of years the cash register will report how many drinks you bought, it will be cross ref …
AP calls government's record seizure a 'massive and unprecedented intrusion'
Mon May 13, 2013
- So, when the Patriot Act gets renewed, authorizing the government to snoop on every American, the media is silent. When red light cameras, drones patrol our neighborhoods, the media is silent.

Analysis: Israel prepares for the worst as militants eye Syria's chemical weapons
Thu May 2, 2013
- A decade ago, the neo-cons worked from inside the Administration to put American boots into the Middle East. I am not so sure these Israeli intelligence reports aren't the bait for putting more US soldiers in harm's way. The President is right in being very, very cautious. Our national self-interest …

Obama cautions against rush to action in Syria
Tue Apr 30, 2013
- Last time, the neo-cons, operating inside the Adminstration, suckered American boys into Middle East battlefields.
