The near daily rantings of a retired combat disabled veteran who just so happens to also be, among other sterling qualities, a progressive liberal Democrat. Really, it's mostly just bits and pieces of things that catch his eye while browsing the Internet.
Running a government like a business
is the same as running a family like a brothel.

The Maddow Blog: Texas to voters: help yourselves
The Maddow Blog - Texas to voters: Help yourselves "An applicant for an election identification certificate will be required to provide two pieces of secondary identification, or one piece of secondary identification and two supporting documents. If a voter does not possess any of these documents, the least expensive option will be to spend $22 on a copy of the voter's birth certificate. There is a statistically significant correlation between the Hispanic population percentage of a county and the percentage of a county's population that lives below the poverty line. The legislature tabled amendments that would have prohibited state agencies from charging for any underlying documents needed to obtain an acceptable form of photographic identification." No matter how you slice it, dice it, chew it up and spit it out, IT'S A POLL TAX!

US Politics | AMERICAblog News: Contraception is a men's issue
US Politics | AMERICAblog News: Contraception is a men's issue Says Myrddin on AMERICblog, "Opposing the Republican's new war on contraception is not just a matter of solidarity with the women, their latest culture war is an attack on all of us." And he's right. Any sexual active male who looks beyond the end of his nose knows he's right. So what I don't understand about Republican men is why they gleefully give control of their ladies vagina over to the government in a very real sense and are so easily duped into thinking President Obama wants control of their guns.

A Fragile Economic Recovery Means A Fragile Political One For President Obama | TPM2012
A Fragile Economic Recovery Means A Fragile Political One For President Obama | TPM2012 Robert's walk away from the linked article is his strong agreement with a comment at TPM made by JSFox, who wrote, "Some facts:
We export 430,000 barrels of gas a day. Yes export so we refine more than we consume.
Our oil imports are below 50% of consumption for the first time in decades.
The US is having an oil boom. We have more wells now drilling and producing than anytime since Reagan was President.
So what does all this mean. The President has zero control on gas prices in fact the US consumer has zero control on gas prices/. As long as demand from place like China, India South and Central America is high. As long as the saber rattlers wanting to bomb Iran are allowed to continue spouting nonsense and as long as speculators are left unregulated the American consumer is going to feel it at the pump."
