Indeed, Harris County is the worst when it comes to executing blacks; however, As of March 13, 2013, and since 1976 the race of defendants executed in the US since 1976 has these percentages: NATIONWIDE of the total executed since 1976 56% were WHITE (white non Hispanics nationwide population is 64%) Are white folks really [...]

They are all sell-outs. You let me know the day you hear Ed Schultz criticizing General Electric on national TV and that will be the day I say that I am mistaken. NBC and MSNBC may actually be the biggest hypocrites of all yes, the network that is home to Lawrence O’Odonnell, The Ed Show, Rachel [...]

In terms of the Keystone Pipeline, most Americans don’t seem to understand how why this proposed pipeline is worse than most. It’s not just that it will run over our nation’s largest (and most shallow) aquifer that irrigates the breadbasket of the USA, it’s the stuff that will be flowing through the pipes. The material [...]

Chained CPI is a scheme that was invented by Alan Simpson–yes this is the Republican a-hole that Obama appointed to head up his so-call “Deficit Commission” a couple of years ago along with Erskine Bowles, a pseudo Democrat like Obama. BOTH Simpson and Bowles are rabid anti-social security, although of course they have been on [...]

Drones–the ultimate absurdity. As far as symbols go they are just a more expensive version of the magnetic yellow ribbons that were so popular with “patriotic” idiots in the early years of this century. Now Washington has upped the ante with Drones. Recently Arlington Texas, a blue collar community between Dallas and Ft. Worth purchased [...]

Thank you for the great article. Your comment “We don’t have a health care system. We have a health insurance industry.” is a point that I’ve been making with my friends for the past four years. It’s so true and it completely nails it. That is at the heart of the issue in terms of [...]

Excellent article. If we want change of any significance, we are going to have to stop sending to Washington DC multimillionaire members of the Wall Street investor class who care more about their personal stock portfolios than they care about the majority of us. Yes, it really is this simple. Until we stop sending these [...]

Thank you for the post. I voted for Jill Stein a week ago in early voting. I agree. We need leaders like Michael Moore to empower voters by reminding them that indeed we do have other choices. In fact, we have no less than six presidential candidates on most ballots in the 50 states. Yet [...]

Go to emmaberry.org if you want to see the image. It is one that I created myself.

Thanks for the link. I’ll publish it on my site too.

Tom what a great piece! thank you for reminding me. I was not aware that today is the birthday for Social Security.

Indeed! it is a day for all Americans to celebrate.

Thanks for sharing this perspective. We are bombarded from all sides with propaganda every second of our waking hours that we are plugged in to any media outlet. This post was interesting to me because I had not considered the aspect of food being presented in this manner. I was surprised how much the Chinese [...]

Right again, Jane. I agree. Romney was sinking fast. Now at least for the next week the heat if off him as we all focus on his absurd selection–a selection that Rachel M. pointed out on meet the press yesterday, reduces the election to one question: Do you like Medicare? LOL If you like Medicare then [...]

excellent, Jane! Interesting and though-provoking comments. I don’t remember reading anywhere else where someone has suggested that Rubio and McDonnell turned down Romney because they wouldn’t want to be associated with him. but that is entirely a possibility. As for Holder, his crap pile just keeps growing– his recent decision to not go after Goldman [...]
