Hate is out of control in the post Bush years. First we have Mr. Looney Tunes shooting and assassinating abortion doctor, George Tiller two weeks ago and continuing to sound his message of hate over the television airwaves. Now, we get notice of a shooting at the Holocaust Museum...

The murder of Dr. George Tiller is horrific. It is an act of domestic terrorism at its worst. Gunned down at his peaceful place of worship in Wichita, Kansas, Dr. Tiller was targeted as he served as an usher in church and his wife sang in the choir....

No not really! Obama's proposed credit card crack down does not go far enough. It certainly is a first step for a beautiful Saturday morning in May, but his team has got to get much tougher on the financial institutions.

The reality is that we are in the...

Overall, Senator Chris Dodd is one of the good guys immersed in the brutal machinations of the AIG debacle. He did not do this by himself. Can't you smell a good old "tar and feather" campaign when you smell one? The Republicans have targeted him for the fight for his...

The Clean Tech revolution is purported to be the next big wave for Silicon Valley's best and brightest, and their venture capitalists. Whoops, no one told those venture folks that their investments in renewable energies would not resemble anything that they had done in the past.

It is a...

As we go into the State of the Union address this evening, it is time to give Obama a break. Democracy is messy. The president is allowing the work to unfold and the Republicans, the Blue Dog Democrats and even some of the Progressives don't like it one bit.

David Axelrod got it right this morning on Meet the Press. It is not the chatter of the Beltway and incessant drama making of the television media that matters! It is what everyday Americans are talking about around the kitchen table that matters. Media does not matter! It is...

Bush and his minions were pros at whipping up emotional terrorism for the last eight years. They understood the American and global psyche. They knew how to craft words that would stir controversy, acrimony and discontent. Masters of distraction, they kept the world off center for eight years creating a...

Senators Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer get it. This was a heroic week for women worldwide. During the proceedings of the confirmation hearing for Senator Clinton, Senator John Kerry joyfully stepped into the new shoes of the Chairman of Foreign Relations. Senator Lugar even looked please, but still asked tough...

The legacy of Bush and Cheney are inextricably tied to the survival of the old fossil fuel economy. Their assignment was clear: defend and protect at all costs the fossil fuel businesses and all of those associated with it. It did not matter whether they engaged in a fruitless war,...

Caroline Kennedy wants to be the junior Senator from New York. We all know that. But has anyone really thought about the straight scoop for just one moment? It's pretty clear to this gal that just maybe she wants to carry on the legacy of her dear Uncle Ted -...

We can reach for it and we can touch it. The old glass ceilings are coming down and shattering as discrimination is thrown out like old trash. Out with the old and in with the new. The new Obama team is one of excellence and drive. It embraces talent, experience...

Here we go again! All the media pundits seem to be missing the boat on the brilliance of the selection of Governor Bill Richardson as the next Secretary of Commerce. Many have been just too eager to pigeon-hole him in the role of foreign affairs and stir the controversy missing...

Round and round it goes and where it stops nobody knows. Who will be the next Secretary of State for President Elect, Barack Obama? Will it Senator John Kerry, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Dick Lugar or Governor Bill Richardson? The stakes are very high and up for grabs. Where will...

Obama did us good. We were all "waiting to exhale" and have finally taken the first deep breath in months. The day has come when every vote did count, the people spoke and dreams are possible again. Amen. This is a historic election on so many levels. Obama is the...

On the eve of this groundbreaking election so many of us are still holding our breath and "waiting to exhale." It's been a drama filled many month race to the White House that has pitted people against one another within the same party, and between parties with far reaching implications...

If this is successful in California, civil and human rights are no longer safe in this country. This is not just about those liberals in the land of fruit and nuts. This proposition is discriminatory. It has very little to do with the Church, G-d or school children regardless of...

It is almost more courageous to focus on the blight of children in this country and acknowledge that there is a problem right here in the US. Children are receiving very little nutrition and food. They go to school malnourished and fail to study because their stomachs are empty. Federal...

Hey folks it is not a done deal yet for Obama. Strap in for the fight of your lives. We have two weeks to go and it's not over by any stretch of the imagination. Political operatives, stop picking out your furniture, drapes and carpet for your office in the...

Hallelujah!

Energy is front and center in the 2008 presidential debate, the discussion and the national conversation. How far we have come since 2004 when it was not on the presidential agenda. We couldn't talk about the environment, and certainly not in a debate. It was relegated to the...
