Robert Scheer’s ‘Hogwash, Mr. President’ (SOTU 2011)
Glad I found Robert Scheer’s article Hogwash, Mr. President because it sums up (in a way I would if I could) the primary debate on President Obama’s State of the Union address of last evening, sans distractions and trivialities.Some writers I’ve read today talk about ‘the things he didn’t say’ and other such topics and naturally they identify several weaknesses or admissions in the presidential

Transcript and audio of SOTU 2011 @ NPR.Are you trying to remember who Paul Ryan (R-WI) is and where he came from? So was I until my friend Alex D’Atria sent me this excerpt from Katrina vanden Heuvel’s article in The Washington Post explaining Ryan’s past connections and where he got that little ole insulated viewpoint of his.Excerpt:Ryan is an Ayn Rand-quoting zealot, one of the Republican
Poll: How Do You Rate SOTU 2011?
February 1, 2011 seemed a good time to close the voting for SO’W’s brand new poll spurred by President Obama’s State of the Union Address this evening. That’s six days which the talking heads, reporters, and bloggers can use up in a jiffy as they parse, dissect, and critique.Why not weigh in with your early ‘gut’ reaction to SOTU 2011 while you’re here?The poll is located in the sidebar just
Chomsky: Peak Oil, Climate Change, Tea Partisans (video)
For rational, realistic perspectives on Global Warming (aka, Climate Change) and Peak Oil, try this 20 minute 4 second video first broadcast on January 3, 2011 by The Nation magazine. For me, it’s a birthday present I’m just now receiving! A Solar Eclipse for a birthday gift was nice, too. So far.Anyway, Noam Chomsky, Greg Palast, and others offer reasoned views on the important matters at hand –

Feeling Rich? Perception Matters
Jan 21/22, 2011: Public Radio’s MarketPlace has an interesting interview you may wish to read or listen to which concerns the fact that it isn’t level of income alone which makes a person admit that he or she is "rich." It’s just as much a matter of perception: the perception of what it means to be rich that affects our ideas about wealth and taxes, and our self-images of where we are on the

Washington DC iced in Today, Hu Jintao lands 1.18.11
It’s been years since I lived in the District of Columbia but if you do, you awoke today to major iced in conditions.Here in Georgia, we received a layer of crusty ice over several inches of snow last week, now it’s DC’s turn to slip’n’slide. Bridges are especially treacherous under these conditions yet I suppose President Hu Jintao, leader of the Communist Party in China, will be landing on US
