It’s time to get out of Afghanistan now

From the calm and measured intelligent discourse of cable news to the hard hitting in-depth stories of the Associated Press, the debate is raging.  Should we send more troops to Afghanistan? The debate is usually very narrowly defined: “Are there enough troops in Afghanistan to win?” or “If we send more troops is winning possible?” Assumi…

Leader of the empire wins a Nobel

The first thing I thought when I heard about Obama’s peace prize is that it must be a fake headline from the Onion. As usual, right-wing Fox News/Rush Limbaugh style criticism of President Obama has been so ridiculous and over the top, that any legitimate substantive criticism is ignored. Right-wing smear merchants like [...]…

Shut up about the “two-state solution.” In a classic case of false advertising: President Obama tries to push “separate but equal” on the Palestinians

The “two-state solution” seems like a fair way to solve the problem in the Middle East between Israel and the Palestine.

Attorney General Holder Decides to Appoint a Special Prosecutor, to Investigate Bush-Era Torture

Well, here’s another stupid AP article: http://tinyurl.com/ng8sez Interrogation probe steams those on right and left Without reading past the title, the basic assumption here is that the prosecution of torture is a Right vs. Left issue.  In other words, the vindictive Left Wing wants to exact REVENGE! on Bush and his cronies, and the Right Wing has the [...]…

Republicans have the right idea

Yes, the Republicans have the right idea…this isn’t something I find myself saying very often, but here goes… I just read an editorial from Paul Krugman (Nobel Prize Winning Economist, Writer for the New York Times) about the health care debates going on in the country: There’s a famous Norman Rockwell painting titled “Freedom of Speech,” depicting [...]…
