My very first thought when I heard about the rebel uprising in Haiti was “no way. They wouldn’t do that again…not now.” By “they,” I meant the Bushes — and I’m not just talking about the current President — I meant the several generations of Bushes which have been accused of being involved in overthrowing […]

In the spirit of CNN and the other networks, we are now able to declare George Bush the winner of the 2004 election for President of the United States.

Murtha’s Law

Still playing catch-up. “Never in human history,” reluctantly concludes Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Pennsylvania, addressing the case made for the United States invasion and occupation of Iraq, “have so many been so mislead by so few.” This is Jack Murtha, who left college during the Korean War to enlist as a private in the United […]

Americans will get exactly what they deserve in the next election. Remember, people, 90% of you might “support” a particular candidate and think he should win, but if you’re in the 90% that stays home, then the candidate you do not want wins by a “landslide.” And this time, he won’t even need a Supreme […]

I really don’t have time to do blog entries until after Monday night, because of a looming mid-term in Property Law. But someone (who will, for now, in keeping with this post, remain anonymous) points me to a story which covers a topic on which I’ve periodically touched and the story contains a transcript of […]

I’m going to probably go (mostly) silent this weekend. A second Property Law mid-term looms Monday. For now, enjoy this article sent by Bob Marcotte, one of about three Great Givers of All That is Blogworthy who together send me stuff weekly to stoke the fires here. “Horrors bled into the streets, terrorists were spawned […]

What Gives You The Right?

Someone asks, in relation to the same-sex marriage question, “What Gives You The Right?”
This is a good question…for a government founded on the principles of the United States Constitution.

…a drop for me and you. President Bush – whose $10 million TV ad campaign debuts Thursday …. I just think there’s something wrong with this. And, yes, I’d think that of any non-Republican candidate if this were the story, too. You gotta wonder who is putting up the big money.

Religious Right vs. Irreligious Left?
March 3rd, 2004 · No Comments
As Bob Marcotte said when he sent this (article by Anna Quindlen — click the link below for more) to me, “This says it all. It should be required reading for anyone in America.”
As Quindlen notes, the old War between the Conservatives and Liberals, or (as some fashion it) between the Republicans and Democrats, is being spun into the War Between the Religious and the Irreligious (a.k.a., “heathen”)…
…and, of course, once you click the link immediately below, I’ll be doing my best to make sure things are Unspun.

A Fix for the Jobless Recovery
March 1st, 2004 · No Comments
I have an idea that will overnight solve the “jobless recovery” problems in the United States. And it’s so very simple, it’s hard to believe no one has ever thought of it: Companies like Sprint PCS can hire enough people to handle their call volumes. Seriously, when was the last time you contacted a U.S. […]
