Connecticut's Nutty and Spicy Senatorial History
Without descending into the Washington parlor game of conventional wisdom about Sen. Dodd's announcement signifies for the horse race of who's up and who's down, I would like to reflect on the matter.
Sick with Terror: Inadequate Health Care Kills 45,000 Americans Per Year
A killer that has stalked the U.S. public, claiming, by recent estimates, 45,000 lives annually. This killer is the lack of adequate health care in the U.S.
2009 Was Not the Senate's Finest Year
It was in the Senate this year where the goal of meaningful health care reform gave way to a bill that feels as if it was written by the insurance company lobbyists.
Calling the Bluff in the Conference Committee
Lieberman and Nelson might well go with the Republican team and vote against cloture. If they do show their fundamental disloyalty, it forces them to join obstructionist Republicans and takes the heat off all the other Democrats.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is Another Pawn in the Terror War
Failed airline bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is yet another pawn in the terror war. Terror suspects take center stage not just in how they're pros...
Kicking the National Security Football
National security is serious business. It involves how our country protects and projects itself abroad. It's not meant to be about partisan game-playing.
Bust The Filibuster
Allowing the use of obstructionist techniques like the filibuster in the Senate is undemocratic, anti-democratic, and just a plain insane way to make public policy.
America's New Face of Terrorism
Thanks to a 23-year-old black man who deceptively looks like an innocent boy, African-Americans, Arabs and the Muslim Diaspora all have something in common. They are more easily viewed as terrorists, and there's no escaping it.
Eyes off the Prize: Liberals Who Want to Kill the Health Care Bill Should Remember History
Progressives can be as bad as teabaggers, with their chronic dissatisfaction, ideological disdain for compromise, and limited understanding of historical precedent.
Bipartisan Blight
Health care reform suffered the torments of partisan obstruction. Now gird yourself for financial reform and the perils of bipartisan blight.
A Decade Far Worse Than a "Big Zero" (1999-2009)
We can call the 2000s the "Worse Than Zero" decade or the "Big Zero," or anything we wish, but what characterized it most for me was the near total control of corporations, especially over our civic institutions.
Muslim Youth Radicalization or Politically Correct Islamophobia?
The discourse on radicalization and homegrown terrorism is fundamentally racist and Islamophobic. It is based on seeing Muslims as the "other" and viewing our actions through an "orientalist" lens.
Obama, the Fallen Messiah
Those former Obama fanatics experiencing a crisis in faith should look in the mirror. What they have refused to acknowledge is that Obama would not have fallen so hard had they not lifted him so high.
Is This About Health Care or Spiritual Care?
We cannot expect much from a system that has become spiritually atrophied. It was inevitable that health care reform would turn uglier than the fights over civil rights, Medicare, and Social Security.
GOP Plays Soft on Terrorism Card Again
It didn't take long for anti-terrorism hawks from Joe Lieberman to GOP congresspersons to dump the lax security, terrorist watch breach, and faulty al Qaeda intelligence on President Obama.

Pass the Health Care Bill - Then Improve It

Lieberman Calls Prescription Plan Unnecessary; "I've Been Off My Meds For Years"
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) took Mr. Lieberman's comments in stride, saying only that they "explained a lot."
Eat Right and Exercise in Futility
The crisis in our current health care crisis has finally reached the crisis point. We must now take the issue firmly by the shoulders as one would a ...
Christmas 2009: We Know Who's Been Naughty... Nice Is a Little Harder to Find
