KISSIMMEE, Fla. – On a chilly Florida night, former President Bill Clinton warmly embraced Senator Barack Obama as a fresh leader for a new generation of [...]
The Ayers of Christian Redemption
American values are crossing swords in the 2008 Election for President of the United States. Conflicting values are not unusual. Actually, conflicting values come our way every day. Such is the nature of ethics. One such conflict is apparent in the redemption of former Weatherman Bill Ayers. The social turmoil of the 1960’s continues to [...]

The Palin Principle (Peter Principle revisited)
Sarah Palin has resurrected an old business adage: The Peter Principle.
The idea is relatively easy to grasp: A good employee is promoted to the point of their incompetence. It is a classic management error. Take a good Surgeon and make him Administrator of the Hospital. Take a good computer analyst and make him the Chief [...]
Pope in America
Bill Maher is on a role in this video. Maher directly takes the Pope and the Catholic Church to task. Referring to Pope Benedict as John Paul’s Dick Cheney, Maher hits this nail right on the head.
The value of comedic interpretation of current events is never more evident than it is in this monologue by [...]
Addiction Humor
So what is funny about getting drunk or high on drugs? Just about everything – if you are observing someone else.
These two comedians, Robin Williams and Bill Cosby, are very funny because they are so accurate in their depictions of people on drugs. We laugh because we recognize ourselves and others in their comedy routines.
Robin [...]
Ralph Nader is a Beetle
Son,
Ralph Nader is running for President – again. Well, he is not actually running for President – he is running for wackiest looney to have ever achieved notoriety. His sad story began with legitimate consumer safety studies that changed the way people view transportation. He changed the world of auto making – and in the [...]
Bill Moyers and Big Media
Son,
You will note that I really like Bill Moyers. I have addresed the issue of Corporate Media. I find the pundits seeking Nielson Ratings to meet the needs of their Corporate owners – thus failing the American public. The idea of the 1st Amendment is central to a free society.
Corporate Media ownership removes accountability from [...]
Bill Moyers, Rupert Murdock, PBS
Son,
I am a big fan of Bill Moyers. He is that long time respected journalist that now works exclusively for PBS, Bill Moyers brings intellect, poise, and dignity to journalism. Over the years Moyers has introduced me to such influential people as Joseph Campbell and Robert Bly. I respect him a great deal – and [...]
Boring Republicans run a 1994 Campaign
Son,
Much of the media attention is given to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Why is that? Fox news would say it is because the media is too liberal. If the Republicans would ever say anything new perhaps they would be in the news. My notion is that the Republicans are so darn boring.
Listen to the [...]
Hillary found her voice, his name is Bill
Son,
When Hillary Clinton choked with emotion on the eve of the New Hampshire Primary many people saw her humanity. Some say that this very personal appeal, this letting down of her guard, this emerging humanity, was the deciding factor in the vote. She won New Hampshire. In her victory speech she claimed that, “I have [...]
Obama has the national Delegate lead
Son,
This South Carolina primary election is really big. The Obama campaign was hoping to win up to 20 of the 45 delegates available in South Carolina. It looks like they will round up over 25 delegates. Obama already had a couple of delegates lead over Clinton.
This clearly puts Obama in the driver’s seat. The win [...]
Obama Wins South Carolina- AP says Rout!
Son,
This is a big day in American Politics. Barack Obama has won the South Carolina Democratic Primary. The Associated Press is calling this victory a rout. The white vote split three ways with Obama, Clinton, and Edwards.
What can this mean? Obama continues to show strength. He seemed to lose some steam after Iowa and some [...]
Race is perception – why it matters in politics
Son,
I am a baby boomer – that generation of people that outnumber the rest of you folks. We grew up with civil rights and anti-war protesting and counter culture movements. Today we are skeptical about those who wish to claim the mantle of leadership for cultural change. Race is always important.
We loved Martin Luther King, [...]
Looking back – Jon Stewart on Monica Lewinski
Son,
Jon Stewart has been around for awhile – and while his brand of humor can be antagonistic – he continues to be respected. Virtually no one attacks Jon Stewart. Why is that? Is it because he is fundamentally correct in his reasoning process?

Stewart on Nevada debate – know when to fold.
Son,
Jon Stewart is a great political commentator. His use of humor to point out the obvious that seems to escape the rest of us is unparalleled. I think we see these things but it takes a Jon Stewart to articulate for us what is the source of our uneasiness.

Thinking about the Economy? Remember Bill Clinton
Son,
The economy is at it’s worst in twenty years – who is in charge anyway? Is anyone in Washington D.C. thinking about anything? I can’t help but reflect on the Presidency of Bill Clinton.
Eight years of the greatest economic growth in the history of this Great Country. And you know what – President Clinton did [...]
Bill Clinton Supports Hillary
Son,
Are you surprised? Is anyone surprised? What are the other spouses doing? But this is Bill Clinton – former President of the United States. Traditionally former presidents have not taken a position until their party nominee is selected – but this is just another example of the historical ramifications of a former First Lady being [...]
