Now if only President Obama could show the same leadership on climate change as he has just demonstrated on the divisive same- sex-marriage issue. The same narrow-minded interests that made same-sex marriage such a boogeyman for the President are also controlling the GOP-dominated boardrooms of Big Oil, from Mr. Cheney on down. These people seem [...]

Calling on President Obama: Be Our Warrior for Peace
Although most Americans think of Presidents’ Day mainly in terms of sales on home appliances and electronics, as well as a welcome mid-winter day off, it’s worth stopping to think for a moment about what we are actually celebrating on this day. Why take a day out of the national calendar to honor Washington and [...]

Occupy Wall Street: Finally, the New York Times Gets It!! Now, how about Obama?
Protesters Against Wall Street – NYTimes.com. This is a big victory for the Occupy Wall Street movement. To move the staid NY Times from complete indifference to disdainful incomprehension to vigorous approval in the space of just three weeks is truly remarkable!

Peace Day Travesties
Last night my son reminded me that it was Peace Day yesterday, and my heart sank even lower. How could it be that on the day dedicated to world peace, the U.S. allowed an improperly tried man to be put to death by lethal injection? Perhaps even worse, how could it be that our President [...]

California Black-out: Eco-terrorist Strike? Wake-up Call?
Last night, while all the pundits and news editors were focused on President Obama’s jobs speech to Congress, a small news item at the bottom of the page caught my eye: blackout in southern California. 1.4 million without power, from Arizona to Baja California, including San Diego and Tijuana. No explanation. This morning, the blackout [...]
