goodbye mac

This is the time of year I can’t help but think of my husband’s friend of 35 years. Mac was an independent, cranky old fuck, 10 years older than my sweetheart.


hypocritic oath

hypocritic oath

nothing like the stench of corruption in the summer air. if nothing else drives the point home that new america is a nation run- not simply by capitalism but by the corporate ruling class- this should tamp it down good:
more than 7 million americans abused prescription drugs in 2005- so since this is 2008, i [...]


THIS Is Why Insurance-Based Healthcare Has to Go

THIS Is Why Insurance-Based Healthcare Has to Go

As I’ve said a few times before, private insurance in this country has every reason in the world to drag their feet on (or flat-out deny) requests for treatment. If they wait long enough, the people in desperate need of treatments will die, saving the insurers millions that they can then use as bonuses for [...]


Jesus the King? Or Filter Kings?

Jesus the King? Or Filter Kings?

What would you think about a minister who worked for the death-peddlers of big tobacco? Would you think that perhaps the minister was being just a wee bit less than a messenger of God? And what if the minister then decided to lie about taking payoffs from big tobacco? Would you consider these to [...]

PTSD and the VA: A Story of Fact

PTSD and the VA: A Story of Fact

In the Spring of 1993, I moved from Northern Minnesota to Grand Junction, Colorado. The move was to a different climate and a change of scenery and we thought we’d try the mountains; thought the fresh start would help us cope with the loss of our daughter-we were running from something. I had suffered [...]

The true cost of BushCo’s Wars..

It is with great regret I announce to you what might possibly be the true cost of George W. Bush’s two wars my dear reader. It probably won’t surprise you, but it will jack your jaw just a tad I think. According to the Democrats and The Washington Post..the total cost for both wars, at [...]

circle of love

Michael won’t look at me. His dark eyes scrunch shut above the white mask and he tenses as I approach. A few minutes and a slit of eye, then a turning of the head. He’s furious with me, still, two weeks after I rescued him from certain death and confined him to this lonely room [...]

November 7th, 2007 by Dusty | 3 Comments

One out of Four homeless are Veterans.

This disgusting fact is brought to you by a new report which will be released tomorrow. From the AP writeup:
Veterans make up one in four homeless people in the United States, though they are only 11 percent of the general adult population, according to a report to be released Thursday.

And homelessness is not just a [...]


COLA

COLA

The price of food is up. It’s always up. Rarely does the price go down unless there has been some record breaking problem that an industry has had to endure, like a hard frost in Florida and California and all the oranges froze. The price goes way up for orange juice, but then comes back [...]


So, why am I a Liberal?

So, why am I a Liberal?

Why am I a liberal?

That, my friends, is a short question but it requires a somewhat complicated answer. In a nutshell I suppose that I could say that I have seen just how destructive the new brand of “compassionate conservatism” can be, but that’s too easy. In fact it’s a bit [...]

Angels of light or rightwing hate mongers?

By Donatra
Are you sick and tired of Republican attack ads? Are you sick and tired of verbal assaults on twelve-year-old-boys and two-year-old-girls by rich, white fat men who share a basic contempt for change and who practice rhetorical savagery as a virtue? Yeah. I am too. And I think I [...]

Environmentally speaking, Industrial Hemp could revitalize (bye bye farming subsidies- no need) american farmers AND our industrial base in every conceivable sector. a two fer.
