FLORIDA SPEAKS (ARE YOU LISTENING?)

Now that the Florida Primaries has taken place, we’re starting to get a real picture of where Republicans stand on their selection of a candidate. Don’t misunderstand me: the RACE isn’t over by LONG SHOT, but for the first time in this seemingly unending ordeal we call the Republican Primaries, the results are LIMITED to [...]

EIGHT VOTES

The name of this post is the margin between the Winner of the Iowa Caucuses, Mitt Romney, and the First Runner Up, Rick Santorum: EIGHT VOTES. It doesn’t get much closer than that, folks, and with a margin of only 8 votes, the knee-jerk reaction is assume that the Momentum of the Santorum Campaign may [...]

AND SO IT BEGINS…

Tomorrow is the day that it finally begins…the day of the Iowa Caucuses, or, as Rush Limbaugh calls them, the “Hawkeye Cockeye.” Unlike Florida, where our elections are held with early and absentee voting, the Primaries in Iowa use an older, more PERSONAL system of Democracy, where individuals LITERALLY gather to support their candidates. It [...]

THE TOP ELEVEN OF 2011

Last year, we did a “Top Ten of 2010” List highlighting the highs & lows of the Year in Review. Since 2011 is now signing off, let’s go through The Top Eleven! #11 – WEINERGATE: If I’d have limited this to a “Top Ten” list, Anthony’s Weiner would not have made the list, but since [...]

This is in no way meant to OFFEND anyone, so if you celebrate Hannukah, or any other holiday, then please accept this “Merry Christmas” in the spirit in which [...]

THE CAPITALIST COMPLIMENT

I’ve mentioned in the past that my wife makes beaded jewelry, and she’s really good at it. Very sparkly, well-designed attractive stuff: the kind of things that she likes to wear. In fact, as a hobby, she’s been making jewelry for herself for years, but recently, in addition to making the occasional gift for a [...]

PICKING YOUR CANDIDATES – PART 3

What a difference a few months can make. In September, the last time that I addressed the Republican Primaries as a topic, I made few predictions about how the field would shape up. I made some very serious statements, including that Mitt Romney “didn’t get my support the last time he played this game (2008) [...]

FASCISM OR SOCIALISM: IS THAT THE QUESTION?

I was at a Christmas Party Friday night (no, it was not a “Holiday” Party” – you could tell by the decorations), and, after an offhand crack about Socialism by Yours Truly, a friend asked this question: “Which would you prefer: Fascism or Socialism?” His argument was that we are currently living in a Fascist [...]
