Disappointed All Around
May 23, 2007
I haven’t felt much like posting of late. Every time I think I might want to write about the many currents of national or local politics, I start to circle the drain thinking about just how low the state of our republic has been brought. We are stuck in orbit about a giant black hole
Ron Paul Lances the Festering Boil on the Face of GOP Security Policies
May 16, 2007
Link: Viewers Say Romney (29%) and Paul (25%) won GOP SC Debate, Not Giuliani (19%). I’ve examined the footage of Saturday’s GOP debate and I am very excited. Ron Paul is tearing the stuffing out of the GOP’s 9/11 straw man. Paul had the temerity to question the self-righteous, blindly chauvinist framing by the GOP
Anyone Care to Explain Giffords’ and Mitchell’s Vote on Iraq?
May 12, 2007
Giffords and Mitchell voted with the GOP on HR 2237, the appropriation bill for Iraq that would have begun redeployment away from Iraq. It was widely rumored that conservative Democrats would be voting no, and about 60 of them did, dooming the bill to lose 171-255, and weakening our hand in the struggle with President
The Open House Project
May 9, 2007
The Open House Project has launched, and in my opinion, this is the most important progressive reform measure during this Congress. The Sunlight Foundation has partnered in a non-partisan and bi-partisan fashion with a wide range of organizations to bring to fruition a consensus report suggesting a number of reforms designed to open Congress to

Anchors Aweigh!
May 6, 2007
I don’t much care for the term ‘anchor baby’. I find it offensive and pejorative. It means a child born in the United States to a couple who are not U.S. citizens who receives U.S. citizenship as a birthright. Many in the immigration scaremonger faction consider ‘anchor babies’ to be a problem that we need
Thoughts on the Republican Field
May 5, 2007
Now that I have watched the first GOP debate, I think it is a good time to discuss the contenders. Of course, I have no interest in a GOP President being elected, and given what I saw in the debate, and what I know of the candidates, a GOP President in 2008 would be an
The American Chauvinist Premiers
May 4, 2007
I’m pleased to announce that Dwight Leister, a frequent commenter on this site, has decided to take up his own blog. I suggested the name "American Chauvinist" and Dwight couldn’t be more delighted. He’s agreed to move in and promulgate his philosophy at his own blog if I would provide a link to his new
