Somewhere in America … every hour someone commits a hate crime. Every day at least eight blacks, four gays or lesbians, two jews, two whites and one Latino become hate crime victims.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.President Dwight D. Eisenhower
In a game of chicken, the more radical side usually wins. This was the case in our debt-ceiling fiasco that has ended and a crisis avoided. The radical right also known as the Tea Party loonies were prepared for Armageddon. Who can blame them? They hate paying for your kids going to school. They hate [...]

It is nice to see Republicans take care of their own. They felt it was imperative to change the policy in the House cafeteria and terminate the "compostable" utensil program in lieu of plastic utensils. Thank you to the Party of No. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
The current fight is between the Haves and Have-Nots. Unfortunately, too many Have-Nots are under the illusion that they are Haves.
