“Our Representatives are struggling hard with this Health Care Issue.”
That’s a lie.
Every single Right Wing Senator whole-heartedly supports single payer Health Care coverage wholly paid for by the Federal Government because he has it. His whole family has it. Obama has it. Dick Cheney has it. All the moderates who struggle with where to position [...]

It’s been almost a week now and I still remain haunted by the images of that Health Care Summit that was called by the White House last week. Thankfully the images have faded a bit. — the massive tables with all those important representatives. The blue and yellow bunting. Who put up all that bunting? [...]

“Haiti’s disaster, on the front of every newspaper, has given Goldman Sachsan unequalled opportunity. A simple act of generosity could bring it front-page publicity, one that would do much to allay the ontroversy on everyone’s lips. By donating just half of their bonuses to Haitian relief,they will outmatch the Haitian GDP, and [...]

This is a despicable Health Bill, a stain on the soul of anyone who has worked on it, who supports it, who believes they have done anything right in birthing it. If there is a hell I would want everyone involved with this bill to end up in it, nonetheless…

What happened to trying to unravel last fall’s financial meltdown, for that matter what happened to the meltdown altogether? The stock market is back to almost pre-meltdown levels. The bonuses continue to be spread around the boardrooms. The high-end restaurants have filled back up to bursting here in LA and in NY. The media’s [...]

I was at a young peoples’ party the other night (late 20s, early 30s). The Beatles were playing pretty much the whole time – still fresh, after all these years. It got me thinking about experts, specialists, the elite classes that now pretty much run our country, the “brightest and [...]

On Saturday the New York Times dropped the strangest bombshell. It was the leading article on the front page. Wall Street is back into the bundling business and this time they believe they’ve got it right. They’re buying up billions of dollars worth of the insurance policies of the sick and elderly, [...]
