Obama urged to step in to fix VA backlog
Thu Mar 21, 2013
- In 2000 I was excited about potential candidates for both sides; Bill Bradley of NJ Dem and McCain Rep both made lots of noise concerning election-reform and were eliminated by their respective parties.

Not so fast: Women on frontlines 'distracting,' say critics
Thu Jan 24, 2013

Marijuana restrictions: Appeals court backs DEA, rejects pot advocates argument
Tue Jan 22, 2013
- The spectacle of a Law-enforcement bureaucrat declaring that there's no medicinal value in Marijuana use should tell everybody all they need to know.

Forget Aretha! Scalia's hat draws attention at 2013 inauguration

Wed May 9, 2012
- It's so sad to see that so many Americans are all eaten up with Xenophobia; the energy spent in futile hate for someone who's done nothing to them(the hatred isn't earned - it's learned, a mark of shallow thinkers, getting their views from the corporate-owned Media) could be put to much better use. …
