Catatonia No Longer a State in the U.S.
17 June 2009Most would say that Obama has taken on more that he can chew, and though that may be true, his momentum has already gone a long way towards taking our government out of the catatonic state it has been in for many years. In essence Obama and his administration has stirred up the soul of [...]
The Good Side to the Piracy Story…
20 April 2009One good thing to the story of piracy off the coast of Somalia is that it brings attention to the problem of world hunger.

How to Keep Positive Amongst All The Shenanigans…
18 March 2009It seems that not a day goes by that some piece of bad news swoops down to take our breath away.

Led by the Drug-Induced Rantings of a Mad Man…
3 March 2009Just when you thought it was safe, a new leader claims the GOP. The arrogant, pompous, self-indulgent, incendiary entertainer Rush Limbaugh. Yep, you heard right, the right which has been flying without a strong leader for some time now, has been adopted by the king of pomp, from the land of sensationalism. After being allowed [...]
TARP Recipients Corraled: Taxpayers Avenged
9 February 2009Finally our government has realized that TARP is not a blue piece of canvas to be used to cover up past mistakes. TARP recipients will be put in their rightful place, as that of “borrowers” of taxpayer money. As it should be, “borrowing” comes with duties and responsibilities. The taxpayer has no obligation to lend [...]
I.O.U.S.A. The Movie: America In Debt

The Changing Of The Guard: Goodbye W, Welcome Obama!
20 January 2009As the inauguration approached I was inspired by this historic moment to write a poem for the changing of the guard.

Palpable
In the air, Hope
Even in the midst of despair
A fresh start on the horizon
The spark

The Russian Bear On The Move Again…
14 August 2008In typical Russian fashion or should I dare to say Communist fashion, the head is saying one thing, the body is doing another.
