I ran across a blog by a Honduran that is titled What We Hondurans Want. I encourage you to read the entire article, and Digg it if you deem it worthy. While it is very helpful in getting an understanding about life in Honduras, I believe there are lessons from this article for also understanding life in the USA. [Update]The blogger, rschenkel, has written an | Read More »
On the release of top-secret memos I am absolutely convinced it was the right thing to do — not because there might not have been information that was yielded by these various detainees who were subjected to this treatment, but because we could have gotten this information in other ways, in ways that were consistent with our values, in ways that were consistent with who | Read More »
The House passes punishing taxes on AIG and other bonuses as reported by a local TV station in Portland, OR. I got this link using my handy dandy GOP.com tool bar, by the way. I think that Boehner and Cantor missed an opportunity to whip the entire Republican members of the House to vote “Present” on this bill. Here is why I wish they had | Read More »
There are so many pundits and journalists who are willing to carry the water for the Obama Administration.

Following the swearing in ceremony President Obama began his inaugural address with the phrase “My fellow citizens”. Hearing this words was like hearing chalk scratching a blackboard.

I am not one of Pat’s fans, especially when he writes as an apologist for Hitler’s third Reich, but he does have a sharp political mind. Pat makes the distinction in this article between Barack Obama and George McGovern. an excerpt –
In December of 2007 I wrote up this blog, Barack & Clarence’s Memoirs A Stark Contrast. A feathered liberal poster, flyerhawk, pointed out the contrast in the memoirs is because Barack wrote his at the age of 31 and Clarence wrote his at 59.
