THE JOBS BILL AND THE GOP - 10 Aug 2010
On August 10th, President Obama signed the jobs bill on a party line vote, a $26 Billion dollar bailout for struggling states, saving hundreds of thousands of teaching jobs, allocating money to support state Mediciad programs, and closing loopholes for multi-national corporations evading U.S. taxes. Minnesota will receive $329 million.
Republicans uniformly opposed, calling […]
ON THE SPORTS PAGE… - 09 Aug 2010
BRETT FAVRE…who cares? Obviously more interested in Brett than his team, or team-mates. Another example of mis-placed media attention, no different than LeBron James, who needed a TV special to announce his decision about which team he decided to join. Disgusting, in both cases.

A campaign mailing for 1st Dictrict Judge (Minnesota) Timothy Blakely would have you believe he is just short of sainthood. What’s missing?
Blakely just finished a 6-month suspension for unethical conduct, removed from the bench for taking a $63,000 discount from the lawyers handling his matrimonial case while steering substantial business to that same […]
RANDOM POLITICAL MUSINGS ON INDEPENDENCE DAY - 04 Jul 2010
TOM EMMER…I haven’t met Tom Emmer, although we have extended an invitation for him to appear on “Access,” but a quote of his sticks in my craw, particularly on this Independence Day in the greatest nation in the world.

MICHAEL STEELE — Everyone has the right to be stupid, and unfortunately, people can be irresponsible, but Steele combines the two traits so effectively that you wonder how long the GOP can continue to tolerate his ranting gaffes, such as the July 1 speech in which he called Afghanistan “Obama’s war.” Excuse me, Michael, but when […]

In this land of plenty, one of the excesses which seems limitless is stupidity. In a recent letter to the editor in the Star Tribune (Mpls) a man commended the legislators and governor of Arizona for the recent unconstitutional profiling bill which will never pass court scrutiny, because, as the writer stated: “Keep up […]

I think Arizona is a beautiful state. I have vacationed there, attended conferences there — but no more.
Old enough to have lived through the Holocaust, to have lost relatives in Europe, to recognize the horror of profiling, and with a substantial part of my life devoted to studying the horrors of the Third […]
