The Tea Party: Full of Insignificant Sound and Fury
I find myself again needing to wash my mouth out with soap, having engaged in another round of WTF with no expletives deleted.
My latest round of profanity was in response to Tuesday's debate between Christine O'Donnell (R) and Chris Coons (D), both candidates for... Fundamentals of the Social Contract: Why Rand Paul Is Wrong
According to aspiring legislator, Rand Paul, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 went too far in prohibiting racial discrimination by private businesses.

Republican Scott Brown defeated Democrat Martha Oakley for the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the death of Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy. Brown ran on his...

Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize, and Hope
My favorite time of the morning are those early hours right after sunrise. I wake up, go to the bathroom, then climb back in bed for a couple (okay more like three) more hours of sleep Friends and family know not to telephone me before 9:00 a.m. (except my mother but she had... Health Care Reform Debate Needs New Voices

Justice Needs to Remove That Blindfold
Where to begin? I really think that I need to stop watching or reading any news. It just leaves me all discombobulated as if I went to sleep and woke up in the twilight zone. On Tuesday, William Kostric strapped his...

Glenn Beck Has A Problem; He's An Idiot
I had a dream last night based on one of my favorite horror movies, The Fly. Not the sexy remake with Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, but the original 1950s film. In the dream, I am sitting in the garden sipping a mint julep when I hear a tinny little voice crying, "Help me!... 521 views | 20 recommendations | 0 comments
Barack Obama and the Audacity of Dreams
In my lifetime, I've had many dreams. Perhaps my biggest dream was that the words that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. intoned so eloquently on August 28, 1963 would become a reality. Most people only remember one part of Dr. King's speech on that day, the... Obama: Signed, Sealed, and Delivered

Sharing The Wealth Isn't A New Nor A Bad Idea
Work has been far less busy this week and I haven't been doing my usual hamster on a wheel imitation. I decided to start my day with a trip to the Board of Elections office in downtown Raleigh to engage in early voting. It was a great idea; there were no lines at 9:00 a.m.... 217 views | 33 recommendations | 9 comments
