After reading so many accounts over the past two years of how we are in ” uncharted waters ” on the economic front, I decided to search the intertubes and other media for eras in our history that bear any resemblance to our current condition, and perhaps some lessons we may derive. The 1890′s was [...]

How could any sentient being accept this person as a viable national candidate? http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0710/shocker-bill-oreilly/
Well, I’ll be damned, but it seems that Supreme Court Justice (!) Clarence Thomas has practically turned into Malcolm X these days, thanks to his epileptic, dreadlocked, and possibly suicidal nephew, Derek, getting into just the sort of potentially death-dealing scrapes with the law that Thomas has thought were the best thing since sliced bread [...]

Like other once-marginalized minorities, I’m generally in favor of other cocktailhags representing me in government, media, and elsewhere, but given recent events, honestly, people like John Boehner, Jane Harman, Jan Brewer, Maureen Dowd, Sally Quinn, and on and on, do make me at times question my own loyalty to my people. The key difference seems [...]
