GOP Death panels

Sensible, affordable health care in America? It can’t happen here, because in this country we consider greed a virtue above all else. What the vast majority of Americans want – access to affordable healthcare – simply can’t be realized without ‘the government’ putting rational, perfectly reasonable profit caps on insurance companies, big pharma and mega-health […]

TWEET-LEDUMB

Our country has become the laughing stock of the world. We are setting the standard for national humiliation; taking ‘entertainment’ to a new level. The White House Reality Show: including hideous blonde freaks and lying, angry, seriously coke-addicted middle-aged white men in expensive suits.

Republicans, God, and Nazis

Republicans opposed Obamacare for two primary reasons: 1) They wanted to make President Obama’s signature legislation a failure or appear to be a failure – the first victory was referring to it as OBAMACARE, not by its correct name: the Affordable Care Act – and, 2) Republicans hate poor people and simply don’t think they […]

The Grammys

The most important thing to remember about the Grammys is that it’s a popularity contest and nothing more. The Grammys present themselves as the pinnacle of artistic achievement in the recording industry, but it is just another pathetic effort to stay relevant and get people to watch another crappy TV awards show. It’s all about […]

Corporate Media in the age of Trump

The nation hasn’t been this divided since 1861. Those of us who were Bernie supporters are not only shocked and appalled at the GOP; we […]
