In today's world of high finance politics the two major parties take great pains to keep individuals who to some may have revolutionary ideas or solutions {which by the way some of which could elevate every Americas quality of life} from ever getting the exposure that is so necessary to be elected. This exposure is needed to educate more voters that there are different or alternative ways of solv...

A ripple of emotion has now manifested into a wave of empathy for millions of Americans. This once great society has now succumbed to corporate greed, continually failed governmental policies, and a educational system that it too has failed the American public. For the majority of Americans attaining the "American Dream" has turned into the American nightmare. The wave of discontent is intensifyi...

House Speaker John A. Boehner and congressional Republicans wrung a significant victory out of this weekend's budget deal: They decisively shifted the focus in Washington away from spending and toward austerity, slashing government more steeply than expected and redeeming a pledge to voters in last year's election. President Obama , by stepping in late to avoid a government shutdown, dodged a pot...

Most of my life, I have watched American television. My family values have been such such that I have been brought up to the American Dream, the original, unvarnished. I do not believe in this dream anymore. I doubt most Americans do either. Innovation, education, competitiveness, debt reduction are all the right building blocks needed to re-create this dream. Except that the dream itself is dead...

The BBC notes that jobs would be in focus. Obvious . ABC has reported he will propose a budget freeze and an end to earmarks. Iffy . The Huffington Post has published an extremely nerdy analysis of what the State of the Union does and...

Obama has written an Op Ed in the WSJ today. On how the administration is attempting to modernize regulation. By legislating more effective rules, and striking out wasteful, conflicting, self defeating constraints. Sounds really good. Why am I not convinced? No, seriously....are any of you? Well....why not? It's as if there is a plausibility tap, pouring somewhere in the background. As if this ta...

Just in case you've been stuck on an iceberg over the last 3 days, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was shot in the head on January 8. Six other people were killed, including a nine year old child born on 9/11 2001. The lone shooter, 22 year old Jared Loughner, has been taken into custody and charged.

The American media is full of analysis about Obama's new Chief of Staff - Bill Daley. Bill Daley is not a Liberal, let alone a Progressive. There is talk of how this appointment signals a move to the center by Obama. What center? Bill Daley is all about Wall Street and cutting corporate America slack. He joins Obama in the shadowy right that Obama has always played from. DADT repeal, Elizabeth Wa...

The issue of filibuster reform started picking up pace late November, when Democrats in the Senate came up hard against stalling Republicans. Late in December, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid discussed changes that he aims to propose in 2011. The filibuster, variously called, has a long and rich history, stretching back to Roman times. In the American Senate, it means the ability any Senator ha...

I have recently suggested that Obama looks likely to lose in 2012. Twice . I have also repeatedly suggested that nuclear weapons would not be discharged violently during my lifetime at least. Have since thought some more about this equation, and have decided to correct my position. Consider these revised thoughts. America is a failing empire. The key concern for failing empires is to stay relevan...
