Millions of people face devastating losses and Cantor threatens to hold hurricane relief hostage?
Like birth, age, sickness and death, who can readily predict the weather? Over the last week or so, the East Coast was shook by an earthquake followed by a massive storm, Hurricane Irene. Our state was hit by Hurricane Irene,

Batten down the hatches. Irene’s on her way.
The last few days on Tybee Island where we spend a chunk of our summer, heavy thunder storms, lightening and torrential rain spurts started up telling us its time to make preparations to begin our trek home. During the daytime,

Koch money, the GOP & Tea Party Recklessness and the Blame game.
When you accept money for political campaigns from big corporations and special interests groups that display a failure to respect the rights and viewpoints of others, and embrace a humanistic way of doing business, you end up becoming just like

When money and power trump humanity, greed, arrogance and stupidity rules.
Most politicians focus on the MPI axiom, money equals power and influence, especially when setting out to win an election. It’s no secret that the candidate with the biggest, bulging war-chest is most likely to have greater influence giving him

Michele Bachmann. Serious presidential candidate or Stepford wife?
Michele Bachmann wins a straw poll and there’s much media ado. My take? So what. Unless you are a member of the Tea Party, her straw poll win means nothing to the rest of us. Besides displaying little to no

GOP Presidential Candidate Debate: Beck endorses Michele Bachmann.
It’s just a straw poll sponsored by Fox News and we really shouldn’t take it so seriously. The presidential debate among GOP presidential nominee hopefuls was short on substance, and was more of a GOP brawl with intermittent jabs at

DNA proves 10 Black men innocent but Illinois refuses to recognize their innocence.
The advancement of technology, such as DNA testing, enables us to accurately identify criminals, try them in our courts with irrefutable evidence and put them in prison. Even more important is that for those who were wrongfully convicted, we can now accurately

Rep. Jeff Denham (R) faces hundreds of angry protesters
Democrats didn’t win in Wisconsin — yet — but Republicans are losing ground with their constituents in other states. Angry over no jobs and how Republicans have opted out on their promises to fix the economy by placing their support

$40 million vs. $8 million and Wisconsin GOP still lost two seats.
Some see this as a victory for the GOP in Wisconsin — headlines claim, “Republicans take 4 seats in recall …” But the reality is Republicans, despite an obscene amount of money (Koch brothers), held onto four seats and lost

Stop GOP efforts to block No-Cost Birth Control for all women.
There’s no let up by far right-wing groups and their war on women. Of late, its birth control. Go figure. Isn’t this a bit punitive? No abortion and now no birth control and certainly no free contraceptives. I find this

Classic, a Target clothing factory in Jordan, escalates abuse of whistle-blower rape victims ahead of rape trial.

We’ve given much attention to S&P and the prospect of Moody’s following S&P’s lead with the second cardinal sin behind a debt default, a downgrade. Historically, however, all this began the other way around when S&P followed Moody’s in an

More Hostage-taking. Standard & Poor’s downgrade reckless, criminal behavior.
Just like a misguided few in Congress, namely the Tea Party, Standard & Poors’ reckless downgrade is yet another hostage-taking situation. This time, however, they’re determined to kill the hostage. First of all, S&P should have its license as a credit

America to Congress: Its the economy, now!
The debt ceiling should have not been an issue. It was a waste of time, money and ingenuity that lawmakers could have spent on dealing with growing our economy. And what is so insulting is all the discussion about winners
