…..shall not perish from the earth.
It was November of 1863 when Lincoln stood before the field where thousands of souls lay buried and delivered his address to those gathered there in remembrance.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created [...]

the system is the problem
“I have to pretend more or less that I think it can be fixed, that some politician can be elected who will turn around 200 years of observable social trajectory. People say, “Well, at least some people are trying to fix the problem from within the system. And I want [...]
Ten Post Round-Up: Thursday, September 11
Unlike some folks, I actually look forward to work to get me away from blogging (as opposed to looking forward to blogging to wind down from work). It’s not the blogging so much as the news. And, when politics are involved, I really need a night or two away from the blogosphere. Truthfully, it’s kind [...]

Osama binLaden Is Still Free…Are You?

The only “celebrations” will be those in our individual hearts, as we celebrate the lives of those thousands who died on that tragic day. We must also remember the others who lost their lives later as [...]
John McCain and the DEA…saving Cindy’s behind and his career.
This isn’t about what a husband did to protect his wife. This is about what a man did to protect his political career that had recently taken a huge hit via the Keating Savings and Loan scandal. These are questions that only a handful of people can answer, and two of them aren’t talking. We [...]
reflections
i am going to hazard a guess that most of us remember 7 years ago vividly. i worked with teenaged girls who had their own issues but we sat and talked about world events that day. they transcended daily life for days after. it didn’t occur to me at that point to [...]
Pulling Out for Palin
You have to admit, the ridiculous factor in this election is over the top. The pro abstinence Vice Presidential candidate who eloped when pregnant, steps into the National arena as a wildcard, not vetted, VP pick, and before she could begin to comment on her political platform/beliefs, announced her unwed daughter was pregnant. We should [...]
