I’m sorry, did you think I meant Trump? Well, not yet, anyway. But, apparently, if you’re not a pretend rich guy and former “president,” you can actually face some serious penalties for lying on a loan application. Take Solomon Gordon Raymond (also...

So, for the last several decades, I have been collecting quotes. Every time I came across something pithy, important, meaningful, or interesting (to me, at least), I have copied it and plugged it into a text file on my computer (yikes! — I just...

A story in this month’s Scientific American points out that Americans are dying younger and at a greater rate than citizens of other industrially advanced countries. The reason for this is not complex, it’s easy to say exactly why: Conservative...

Yeah, so, just had to put this one out there. In America’s most gun-crazy state with guns and palm trees, two dads and their minor daughters were out for an afternoon drive near Jacksonville. At some point one dad did something with his car the other...

This began as a comment to a Kos diary, yesterday. It was suggested I turn it into a diary, so here it is. I have to begin by saying this is my own idea and opinion. I am not relating any official State Department intel, or anything I have specifically...

The media is all aflutter that gas prices are now over $5.00 a gallon. But, if you factor in inflation, the price of a regular gallon of gasoline in 2008, $4.144 in 2008, would cost you $5.61 in today’s dollars. Don’t just take my word for it, Fortune...

- As we watch the Trump campaign prepare to replace 50,000 civil servants with fascist toadies if he wins the White House, it’s important to remember that Dwight Eisenhower was the last Republican president who believed in democracy, the rule of law, and...352 comments 941 Recs
- Aileen Cannon or Loose Cannon as I prefer to call her is doing some bias things and questionable things and when a conservative calls for her to step down from the case regarding the government’s classified documents, well then it is a bit telling....185 comments 691 Recs
- This is an article few will enjoy. One I didn’t really want to have to write. But it has become crystal clear that the industrialized, fossil fuel dependent capitalist system, which still runs the show on our planet, has defeated the international...71 comments 45 Recs
- If there’s one thing Progressives love more than painting protest posters, it’s getting coopted by the far right. They’ve practically built an entire wing of a political party dedicated to taking grassroot calls for political reform and equality and...172 comments 88 Recs
- Every few weeks or so, I think about cancelling my Washington Post subscription. Granted, WaPo is nowhere near as bad as the New York Times and its pathological obsession with “bothsiderism” and downplaying fascism. But they certainly have no shortage...56 comments 218 Recs
- I am an old man. Don’t know how I made it into my 70s, but here I am. I have followed American politics almost all my life. Never have I been as outraged as I am now. (I’m highly irascible anyway, so that doesn’t help.) A piece of human filth called...253 comments 638 Recs
- My major in college, back in the 60’s, was “public policy”, which meant polling. In those days it was considered highly predictive of reality, IF done correctly. We learned about all the techniques, all the pitfalls, all the possible mistakes that had...532 comments 820 Recs
- Commenting on yesterday’s election results, former Pennsylvania Senator and Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum claimed on Tuesday that Ohio’s results proved “pure democracies are not the way to run a country.” As has become increasingly...194 comments 223 Recs

- www.salon.com/… I encourage everyone to read Heather Digby Parton’s column on Salon that I referenced. She starts out with this: “Over the week-end Democrats celebrated their biennial tradition of hand wringing and panic about the election a year...567 comments 549 Recs
