People unhinged about Google’s announcement that it will now begin to treat platforms in its purview such as Android, Google Search, G-Mail and YouTube as a single entity by merging information about customers of these units as a single source for information about an individual signed up for these services should turn their gaze to… [Read more…]

America has always been a nation of dreamers but in this century, it’s become a living nightmare to be an American. Nothing is as it seems and now it has become a national past time to try to find out just what is behind this that and the other thing. This becomes the debate and… [Read more…]

Anyone with a chronic illness is usually affected by the rigors of the illness. My late father suffered from a brain tumor. Of course it was not clear where it was headed in his brain but he did indeed suffer personality change. Similarly, Multiple Sclerosis from which Marianne Gingrich, the second Mrs.Newt Gingrich, suffers is… [Read more…]

Not satisfied to have supplied Iran with weaponry and support for its civilian nuclear program, China has now done what only a year ago would have been unthinkable: A cooperation agreement signed Sunday in Riyadh by China and Saudi Arabia. According to the Saudi Jidda News, the agreement will seek joint development of “atomic energy… [Read more…]

It has been widely reported that ABC News plans to air an interview with Newt Gingrich’s second wife a couple of days ahead of the South Carolina primary. Pre-program press indicates that it will be “explosive” and it has moved the Gingrich girls from wife #1 to fly to their father’s defense. Let’s all boycott… [Read more…]

We think only China would somehow invest in the campaigns of Congressmen or the President. Would it were true. More nations than China have a vested interest in the outcome of our national elections. For one thing, rather than back room donations, simple ads placed in states could help sway voter sympathy. [T]hanks to holes… [Read more…]

Ever read about someone you’d like to have known or know more about after they have died? While the wife of the Archbishop of Canterbury might have been a far reach, who knows. I’ve known many people of accomplishment if not fame. Please treat yourself to a read about this remarkable woman in her equally… [Read more…]

We were warned that there would be 60 mph gusts last night. I did not question the forecast because our weather this season has been more than unseasonable. We have not had to deal with much snow and temperatures have been way above normal. How I love global warming but then I am not a… [Read more…]

The move toward the FDA we know today began way back in1938 in reaction to a Tennessee firm that sold an elixir that chemically approached antifreeze. It killed young children and the elderly. If you are a pharmaceutical company, those are the very populations you go out of your way to protect. The result of… [Read more…]

Ask yourself a few questions about moneyed and powerful interests that have more to say about election outcomes these days than the electorate: 1. What Republican nominee would benefit corporate America the most? 2. What Republican nominee could best ensure re-election for Barack Obama? 3. What foreign interests would best be served with a particular… [Read more…]

Listening to the current field of Republican candidates is like trying to fine tune an old radio. Not easy. Lots of static. They make a statement; take a position and then modify it beyond recognition and bury it with fuzzy syntax to mirror their thinking while smugly delivering their non-position with a smug smile. “Hissy… [Read more…]

A segment of the Mark Levin Show in November attempted to paint a scary picture of an Obama administration policy that would be forthcoming. It would be along the lines of what Sarah Palin called “Death Panels” – that is, every patient over 70 would be provided care at a level of just making them… [Read more…]

It’s true. What’s old is new again. In reviewing one of my favorite groups from the 1960s, it became clear that the New Christy Minstrels are the voice of the sufferers of GOP Mobility malaise – the fact they cannot move forward united and with conviction. If everyone doesn’t get in the Republican wagon… [Read more…]

The “marriage” between diverse elements of the Republican party has not occurred and it is rife with strife among members strong and steadfast in their positions on issues and their choice of candidate. Instead of compromise, there is leap frogging from candidate to candidate. Now Rick Santorum is “surging” as Republicans and others desert Newt… [Read more…]

Global anger of the have nots against the haves is getting rather ridiculous. Last week, Carla Bruni Sarkozy, wife of France’s President, flew out to Morocco ahead of her husband with their infant daughter to spend the holidays. Of course for security and other reasons (she was there accompanied by 10 body guards) she has… [Read more…]
