Now, he’s back as one of the organizers of a racially-charged, anti-Tea Party event. The publicity materials for the event, [...]

January 21st, 2011 · 5 Comments
What do the BP Deepwater Horizon “disaster” of 2010, the $113 billion lawsuit against Chevron in Ecuador and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar have in common?

With news out of Washington, D.C., that House Republicans will, today, begin their push to repeal ObamaCare (a.k.a., “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”), I’m offering another look at my video interviews with doctors, patients and others on the subject of government-run health care. The first video (below) appeared in a March 25 post, [...]

January 18th, 2011 · No Comments
You might remember the post I published Jan. 11 about Dolores Sherman, the so-called “potato lady” running for a board of aldermen seat in St. Peters, Mo. Well, word on the street is that the 85-year-old self-employed grandmother has turned into even more of a “hot potato” than I thought she might when I published the [...]

Publisher Whitewashes Mark Twain Classic
January 15th, 2011 · No Comments
Much like a broken clock that gets things right at least twice a day, my liberal cartoonist friend, David Donar at Political Graffiti, got things right when he sketched out the cartoon below. It meshes the political correctness that prompted NewSouth Books to publish a new version of Mark Twain’s classic novel, “The Adventures of [...]
