GROWING UP, I WAS TAUGHT THAT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY GENERATION TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR THOSE WHO WILL FOLLOW
Oh Joy, another hot and muggy New York type of day! The sort of day so unpleasant that the mere act of leaving one’s air-conditioned bubble can be traumatizing […]

“IF BUSH DID THIS IN QUEENS, HE WOULD BE IN COURT ON QUEENS BOULEVARD ON A MURDER CHARGE”
As some of you know, I have been wishy washy on the subject of impeachment.  While I believe that the current administration has committed acts that have reached the point our founders believed should be considered “high crimes […]

IMPEACH GEORGE BUSH TO STOP WAR LIES, DEATHS
I am walking in Rosedale on this day early in the week while I wait for the funeral of Army soldier Le Ron Wilson, who died at age 18 in Iraq. He was 17 1/2 when he had his mother sign his enlistment papers at […]

You may ask how that can be, and I […]

NONE OF THE 140 CLINTON PARDONS RISES TO THE LEVEL OF THE BUSH CLEMENCY DECREE FOR SCOOTER LIBBEY.

First off, the “Pundit” and I would like to wish all of our regular readers a happy Fourth of July. This goes for our closeted Republican fans as well.
Since I don’t feel much like commenting today, preferring to relax and enjoy the day’s various events, we have linked to Keith […]

KEITH OLBERMANN’S SPECIAL COMMENT
“I didn’t vote for him,” an American once said, “But he’s my president, and I hope he does a good job.”

THEY WANT TO DO IT ALL IN SECRET, WHILE UTILZING FAULTY LOGIC TO PLACE THEMSELVES ABOVE THE LAW
