Occupied (Norwegian TV Series and beyond…)

TV Series If you haven’t watched Occupied (Season one is on Netflix.), you are missing a great Norwegian TV series! In the storyline, Norway has invented an abundant, clean, renewable energy source they are willing to share freely with the world. So, as responsible world citizens, they stopped their oil production. Russia, determined to have the European Union dependent on… Continue reading

Do You Really Want This?

I sincerely ask this question because this is the road we are rapidly traveling down. And the destination will be an America none of us will recognize at all. So, if we don’t want to live like this in the very near future, we have to do something about it now. Specifically, let’s talk about just 2 things for now:… Continue reading

I Tried to Be Good [Updated]

But, when I saw this a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t resist. I snapped this photo knowing I would post it to my blog for everyone to enjoy. It makes a number of statements. Update In response to Janice’s comment below, I am including the animated toilet bowl plunger in this post since the Trump campaign deleted their original… Continue reading

Some New Concepts

Do you know that feeling when you hear or read something that just offends something about your sense of fair play, but you don’t take the time to tease out the details? You just know in your gut something is wrong. Fred Clark‘s recent post*, well, yesterday’s, put a tidy label on some concepts that I’ve had a difficult time… Continue reading

Trickle Down

I confess my continued astonishment that so many people I know are trained by the Republican noise machine to vote against their own best interests. This well-done animation sums it all up rather nicely.   Why would we double done on policies that created a second great depression?! We need to get rid of the Republicans in office!… Continue reading

Moderating My Writing

I try to moderate what I write on my blog so as not to be rude or offensive, but… I find Rush Limbaugh, the defacto head of the Republican party, who I normally ignore, to be an asshole! And, within the context of my first sentence, that previous sentence is actually written with tremendous restraint on my part. His comments… Continue reading

Going to Bed with the Devil…

and Waking Up in Hell! That’s how I see this unholy alliance between the extremist fundamentalist religious movement and the Republican party. When I was a child the Republican party stood for fiscal conservancy/responsibility and personal freedom/libertarianism. Today, thanks to the work of Karl Rove and extremist religious leaders, the Republican party can’t be conservative enough to win the extremists’… Continue reading

The Lazy Way Out

The cheap shot is the lazy man’s way of circumventing grappling with a problem. The dismissive quality of the cheap shot reveals a person’s nature, character, and current inability to problem solve, strive and attain. So, where am I going with this? In the recent Tea Party/Republican Party Q&A hosted by CNN, Wolf Blitzer asked a hypothetical question about an… Continue reading

Not Just Complicit

In my mind, the Republican Party is not just complicit in this effort, they are responsible.  George W. Bush thrust the nation into bankruptcy financially and morally.  The Republican party is trying to fan the flames of anger and bullying behavior to hide the mess they created that is the true source of the middle class shriveling up. Nancy has… Continue reading
