Whole Foods and Religious Persecution bad recipe.

Here’s a message I got from my friends at Change.org: Everything changed for Glenn Mack Jr. when his supervisor at Whole Foods found out he’s Muslim. Glenn had been a rising star at Whole Foods, recruited to work in a

It’s time for House Speaker Boehner to get Control of a run-away base.

President Obama sets the record straight about the real issues surrounding the payroll tax cut extension and rightfully calls on House Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans to stop playing politics with our pocketbooks. What’s clear is House Speaker Boehner

Jackie Mason’s slam on Pres O over Hanukkah: Bad joke, wrong punchline.

Comedian Jackie Mason’s slam on President Obama for honoring Hanukkah at the White House has no basis in fact or history. It’s just an emotional, public outburst by a public figure who, quite frankly, hasn’t seen much public interest of late.

Voter Suppression in the Blue State of Connecticut. Really.

This story needs no lead in other than the fact that it is happening in a state that elected a Democratic governor for the first time in over 20 years, along with all of its Congressional and state officers. This

Mitt Romney’s version of free enterprise: job creation or annihilation?

MSNBC’s Morning Joe first had Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) on the show this monring. The man gives arrogance a new meaning. Hence, I will not waste time and ink on him. Following his endorser, Mitt Romney takes a seat at the

Boehner held hostage by the Tea Party. Payroll tax cut extension falls apart.

House Speaker John Boehner just held a press conference on the debacle over the payroll tax cuts. The deal struck by Republicans and Democrats in both houses has clearly fallen apart due to the Tea Party. My advice to speaker

It’s not Romney’s success, it’s how he got there that makes him untrustworthy.

When someone at Americans United for Change found this photo and posted it on the Internet, Mitt Romney was quick to say that Democrats would use it against him. Most likely, Romney sees the wisdom in the phrase “a picture

Stop SOPA and PIPA: Internet Blacklist Legislation

Stop Online Privacy Act (House) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) sound like the right thing to do. What’s behind these two bills, in my opinion, is greed and a push back on the voice of the people. If either

Affordable Care Act works. 2.5 million young adults get health insurance.

One of the greatest drains on our health care system is having to give emergency treatment to the uninsured at extremely high costs. The Affordable Care Act’s provision of insuring young adults 19-26 (under certain limits) is a welcome relief

Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2011

Democrats almost got it; then they fumbled the ball.

What makes me sick to my stomach is this notion that brokering a deal means giving away the store. We know what the problem is and yet Democrats in step away from the one item that they should stand steadfast

MyTake: Republicans on Foreign Policy and a nonworking President

Let me start with my summation: Since the only mission that Republicans have is to “make sure President Obama is a one term president,” they have no valid, meaningful, substantive, policy on foreign affairs. Further, since focusing on saying no
