Finally the health care reform debate is focused where it should be: The health of the American people. Or more accurately, the lack of health of the American people. Every year 44,000 Americans die due to lack of health insurance. Something that is unheard of in every other western country is commonplace here. How is […]

Apparently CNN won’t play this ad because it speaks the truth about the outrageous profits of one of their owners (Cigna.) But even if the corporate controlled media won’t play it, you can watch it here. Please help this video go viral by sharing it with all of your friends & family.

President Obama wishing long time White House reporter Helen Thomas a “Happy Birthday” today:

Today is Obama’s 48th birthday and Thomas’ 89th birthday.

Remember when the Bush admin (and Dick Cheney in particular) was beating the drum for a War in Iraq? Remember how they always tried to tie that war in with the so called “War on Terror” and with the tragic events of 9/11?
Well now Dick Cheney himself admits that there was never a connection […]

Yesterday’s killing of Dr. George Tiller (who has been a target of right wing anti-abortion groups and hate mongerers such as Bill O’Reilly for many years) was an act of terrorism.

Consider these points:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney has been making the rounds over the last few weeks telling everyone that President Obama is making us “less safe” by moving away from some of the Bush/Cheney approaches (torture) of the last 8 years.
He usually includes a warning of how the changes President Obama is bringing could lead […]

President Obama’s approval rating has climbed up to 65% as of today which makes the right wing claim that “Obama Is Losing Popularity” look all that much more ridiculous.
The question is: Why is Obama’s approval rating climbing? It’s hard to know for sure, but my theory is Dick Cheney & Karl Rove. These two […]

I strongly believe that the drug war must be ended and I have explained why many times before (click here for a recent post on why marijuana should be legalized.)
I think it’s important that those who believe that the drug war is wrong speak up and let President Obama know how they feel on […]
