In the past 8 (almost) years, we have had quite a bad taste of a”Republican Rule,” and I use the term “Rule” strictly. I think you can all understand where I am coming from if you have seen anything in the

According to a newly released study by two non-profit journalism groups, President George W. Bush and seven of his top aides made 935 false statements about the pre-war risk Iraq posed to the United States. Astoundingly, that is only the number of false statements documented after September 11, 2001. The study not only fingered [...]

Uh oh. This just kinda makes me mad.
For one, I know, as well as you know and your neighbor knows that the Heath Care system in the United States just isn’t cutting it.
Talk of Universal Heath Care has been in the air for quite some time now. Yet, a UHC bill has not been passed.

According to CNN, the man who took hostages at Hillary Clinton did so because of his “inability to get mental health treatment.” People in his town say that this has been a problem for a long time.
This country does not do enough for people with mental illness. There are not enough clinics, not [...]

Sorry I have been absent the past weeks. I have been writing letters to my local paper in an attempt to help correct the American Public’s ignorance. My latest letter was in response to this letter published on October 1st:

General Peter Pace is the chairman of the joint chiefs, making him the most elevated military office in the United States. He is not our priest-in-chief or our parent-in-chief, but he seems to think he is, and that his “upbringing” and his beliefs make him qualified to tell the rest [...]

Hurricanes are damaging and Rita did a lot of damage here in Texas. Not nearly as much as Katrina a few weeks earlier, but plenty of damage. This is Wikipedia’s description:
