    President Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address

    Published January 20th, 2009

    My fellow citizens:I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.  I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
    Forty-four Americans have now taken the […]

    Happy Inauguration Day

    Enjoy everyone. Our long national nightmare is over. And for once, I mean it.

    Even CNN Gets it Wrong, So Help Me God

    Published January 16th, 2009

    CNN today posted a little inauguration “explainer” that talks about some of the traditions of our Presidential Inauguration. In it they post the text - as specified in the US Constitution - of the Presidential Oath. They mention that “So help me God” is NOT in the Constitution (big surprise) but that every President has […]

    Warrin’ over Warren

    Published December 19th, 2008

    So Barack Obama has chosen Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren to deliver the Inaugural Invocation. Almost immediately cries of protest went up among some of Obama’s most fervent suporters in some of the most Pro-Obama areas of the country. I’ve been saying this all along - Obama is not a radical political messiah, he’s just […]

    Sweet Caroline - for Senate?

    Published December 17th, 2008

    With the very likely appointment of Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama’s cabinet, NY state will have a new senator appointed to fill her vacated seat. One of the names that has drawn the most attention - and a fair amount of criticism - is Caroline Kennedy. That’s right, Sweet Caroline herself. Some of the arguments […]

    This is Why

    Published December 10th, 2008

    A Pew Research Poll in 2004 found that about 20% of people under 30 got their news primarily or solely from The Daily Show. I know people - of a conservative slant - who find this a little disturbing because they feel The Daily Show is slanted way too far left. I am disturbed by […]

    What are the Odds!? (For me, pretty good)

    Published December 9th, 2008

    So I felt the need today to go to IKEA to pick up a couple small items. I don’t go to IKEA all that often, even though I should go more. I like IKEA. I’ve gone maybe 2 or 3 times in the past year. So I don’t know their hours by heart. So I […]

    Lonely and Sad

    Published December 9th, 2008

    When we feel strongly about something and know others who also feel the same way, we seem to instinctively fall into a tribal mentality - we instantly divide the world into “Us” and “Them” and throw reason out the window. This is partisanship on a grander scale. It is also borne of such deep rooted […]

    Equal Time

    Published December 9th, 2008

    Anyone who knows me or reads this blog or is a facebook friend of mine should figure out pretty quickly that my political views lean strongly into liberal territory. But the reason for that is that I have a fundamental belief in fairness and equality. Do not mistake it for a belief in partisanship - […]

    Hope, Change - or More of the Same

    Published November 26th, 2008

    Barack Obama has one and millions of lefties seem to think that its the second coming, that Big O is going to lead us all into a future Democrat utopia. OK, maybe not that bad - but close. Much of the progressive wing of the Dem party (and I consider myself to be pretty much […]
