As we all know by now, the Earth has shifted once again. Just the slightest change from deep beneath the waters, a crack in the fabric of her lining, and islands quake while tsunami waves rush across shorelines. We awake believing the world -- our world -- is stable, only...

Continually in the backrooms of the power centers of the nations on this planet are information hubs stocked with people whose job it is to be "star gazers". These "star gazers" are not astrologers as such; rather, they have their own more sophisticated methods of doing the same thing, more...

Well, well, I've seen poor losers before, as have we all. But these Republicans have been poor losers since President Obama took office and now that their strategy of being the "party of NO" has failed to serve them so far as sinking the Health Care Bill, just look at...

It takes awhile to make sense of the entrails of the Republican Party, partly because they are just so toxic, but also because it's actually difficult to comprehend that an American political party can so deliberately sabotage its own government and nation.

But after observing their behavior and their...

I have hesitated for some time to join the ranks of the Obama-disenchanted, if only to avoid giving the Republicans more fuel. But I also believed in President Obama and in his message of new beginnings. He had the audacity to speak about hope and oh, how we needed to...

Out of my deep respect and admiration for Arianna, I decided to take an assessment of my sleep habits. I have always had an odd relationship with sleep. I force myself to avoid going to bed early, as if I have somehow just agreed to do something unproductive. So, I...

As December 7th passes on our calendars, I cannot help but compare the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor to 9/11 just a little bit. Both resulted in a declaration of war but the results could not be more catastrophically different. America extracted its blood and guts from Pearl Harbor in...

We are a community of nations on fire with anger. And we are getting angrier by the day. Whether we look at the increase in uprisings occurring around the world or at the escalating tension brewing in America, what is becoming more apparent is that we are witnessing a rapidly...

Like millions of other people, I, too, have been wondering about what the Republicans are up to these days -- I mean really up to even before Congressman Joe Wilson yelled, "You lie", in the middle of President Obama's address to a joint session of Congress. While Wilson claimed that...

History offers us very few pivotal opportunities to intercede in the disintegrating fate of a nation and to once again animate its destiny. We stand now at such a momentous crossroads, and it is up to all of us to handle this moment and the delicate power that is presently...

There is such a thing as a crime against the soul of a nation. A person or a political party can deliberately incite actions that diminish the strength, the integrity, and the overall well-being of a nation's inner core. America's soul is in a fragile state. It has suffered severe...

I am reminded as Congress prepares to re-ignite after its summer break that it might be prudent for all of them to get their vision checked. I'm not referring to their eyes but to their capacity to "envision" a new future while coming to terms with the magnitude of the...
