    New Nationalism Speech – Teddy Roosevelt History Lesson

    Since the 1980s (when I worked for Eastern Airlines, which no longer exists due to deregulation fever) we as a people have amnesia when it comes to the lessons that history teaches us.  Regulations did not just magically appear one day.  They were derived from the wisdom that came about from the mistakes of the past.  Reagan [...]



    Sign the Public Letter to President Obama

    GAZA, GAZA STRIP – NOVEMBER 25:

    Dear Mr. President,

    Last year, you were swept into office on the hopeful promise of redemptive change.  You inspired the nation by repeating the phrase, “together, we will change the world.”  For many Americans, your words were not merely the final lines of a campaign speech, but a call to action for a new historical moment.

    Nowhere is [...]



    “territorial integrity.” that’s a good one.

    The race for State Senate in the 17th legislative district will be heating up soon after the general election officially ‘starts’ after the August 19th primary.  The primary, designed to produce a candidate to take on incumbent senator/serial fund raiser Don Benton, was rendered moot when software developer Martin Hash dropped out in favor of David Carrier, economics instructor and political activist.  Hash worried about [...]



    on patriotism

    I know we are 3 days past the Fourth, but since Patriotism is the cheesy plastic hurdle that gets reset in the mud of every election year, I have to get this off my chest.

    First, as an illustration of my larger point, it is typical – but nonetheless ridiculous – that so many on the right are lionizing Jesse Helms and expounding on the “appropriateness” [...]

For those who take home two cats, the second costs $10.All cats [...]

    I have signed up to host a Call Kentucky for Change House Party run by MoveOn org Political Action.

    We’re working to turn Kentucky blue by defeating Governor Ernie Fletcher this November. Fletcher is another corrupt Republican – indicted for favoring his political cronies and constantly pushing policies that hurt Kentucky;s working families.

    Hundreds of MoveOn volunteers have already hit the streets in the Bluegrass State [...]
