Tiger Woods, why he might have done it?
Commented Dec 04, 2009 at 07:30:40 in Living
“Thanks for the analytical article placing Tiger's behavior in some context. i don't think it is voyeuristic to try to learn from the behavior of high profile people. They have the same problems as average people but play them out on a big stage. I hope that Tiger is open to learning more about himself and can change for his own good and his family's good.”

“You are welcome and I agree.”
Tiger Woods Needs to Tell a Hero's Tale
Commented Dec 01, 2009 at 21:51:21 in Sports
“Who knows what Tiger might have done, or not, leading up to the the public incident? It is probably not coincidental that he was in the tabloids leading into the holiday. He just has to consider how he wants his wife and kids to look at him and act accordingly. Whatever his attitude has been, it is fact that blowing off a wife's concerns can make her overreact. So have your running shoes on, if you are going to do that.”
Matthew Hoh Speaks Grim Truth To Power
Commented Nov 29, 2009 at 21:42:13 in World
“i thank Matthew Hoh for having the courage to put his career and reputation on the line to attempt to save us from the making even more mistakes in Afghanistan. He had no guarantee that he would succeed just as Obama has no guarantee that he will succeed by ignoring Hoh. I think Hoh is correct on the major points that he makes in his writing and interviews. Quarreling with details of history does not disprove the continuing tragedy of US involvement in Afghanistan. We will eventually leave with more egg on our faces and much more American and Afghan blood spilled for nothing.”
Why Wall Street Reform is Stuck in Reverse
Commented Oct 22, 2009 at 19:29:41 in Politics
“There is no penalty for stealing if you are a wall streeter. It is part of the daily drum. Congress is so on the take so they don't have to get real jobs and perhaps suffer like real people. They don't want to be on the really short end of the inequality thing. I was in favor of the bailout believing the story that suffering by the lower classes would be worse without it. But we have accomplished nothing for reform, so I am for the next crash to take down the whole economy.”
Is CNBC Pimping for State Street Bank?
Commented Oct 22, 2009 at 19:23:29 in Business
“AG Brown, Thanks for looking out for the pensioners. The banks are so dirty that they no longer know or care what is legal or not. They have been given a license to steal by the Congress, past and current president, and the so-called regulators. Please continue to go after them. If you can get some of them locked up, that would be great.”

“He was close with Teddy.
More important, as someone with great family wealth, he is more concerned about being on the right side of history than lining his pockets with lobbyists funds that will, in the end, hurt the people of WV.
The average employee of WV is blue collar labor. These people work hard physical jobs. They work with many toxic substances. Without employer based health care, these Joe six packs are just a paycheck away from becoming medicaid eligible. Which is a government program, but provides nowhere near the coverage of Medicare,
Jay's people are what we used to call the backbone of these united states. That greed & corruption should break their backbones is inexcusable & Jay knows it.”

Waking Up To the Coming Battle Over the Census
Commented Sep 24, 2009 at 16:10:02 in Politics
“We need the Attorney General to speak up immediately that this crime will be solved and punished absolutely. He needs to define what charges are possible against people agitating against the census and threatening census workers. We are at least a half savage nation at this point.”

Racism, John McCain and Other Republicans
Commented Sep 18, 2009 at 19:20:31 in Politics
“I continue to be amazed that so many commentators on TV (can anyone stand to watch Morning Joe?) and others still do not recognize the heavy racial content of the opposition to the President and his policies. Am I reliving the 50's ? 60's? 70's?”
Juanx replied on Sep 18, 2009 at 22:07:56
“I once regarded Republicans as cultivated, educated, civil. and moneyed. What happened to that group? Did the birthers eat'em as crumpets and the tea party just sipped along. Did they become what they are today [imploded] after Hannity joined their ranks? Hannity talks about the the way things were everyday..
GreatTruthsSeeker replied on Sep 18, 2009 at 20:31:15
“I am amazed too. the Republicans have come a long way from what the song "Amazing Grace" describes. Racism has a new toxicity and many people bear false witness to support it.”

“OK Niall,
I take umbrage at the "lucky" part, not the "black" part. Obama is SMART in case you have not noticed. I don't always agree with his decisions and appointments, but he undoubtedly knows more than I do, or you do. So please use a smart and black analogy..”
