Frequent blogger on Democracy for Vancouver. Alias is not what you might think. It is a combination of two of my favorite music groups, Bush and Tool.

Dean says FL and MI resolved by June, Hillary is waiting

April 22, 2008 – 6:08 pm

Do you think resolving Florida and Michigan will get Hillary out of the race? Not a chance. “Obliterate Iran”, bringing out Bin Laden in attack ads, asking why Obama can’t win Pennsylvania when a year ago nobody even knew his name there. Hillary knows very well how to play this game. [...]

Charlie Gibson loses the debate

April 17, 2008 – 10:29 am

According to the audience response and a viewer survey conducted afterwards, it was clear that ABC News lost the Presidential candidate debate in Philadelphia last night. The pivotal moment that most pundits declared was the turning point was the question presented to one of the contestants candidates about not wearing a lapel pin. [...]

Robbins broadsides the broadcasters

April 16, 2008 – 2:25 pm

Image via WikipediaThe lack of a free and unbiased press has been a big issue of mine for too many years now. I remember when the media ended a pointless war and drove a corrupt President out of office. But those days are long gone and our lamestream press in this country now [...]

SNL gives equal time

“That was in no way a demeaning of a faith that I myself embrace,” Mr. Obama said. “When economic hardship hits, they have faith, they have family, they have traditions that have been passed on from generation to generation. Those are not bad things. Those are the things that are left.”

Vow of Silence for Obama

April 12, 2008 – 11:45 am

My advice to Obama is to take a vow of silence until after the 2008 Democratic Convention. That way McCain, Hillary and the utterly biased, Republican brown nosing media will have no way to gang up on him to swing the nomination to Hillary. Speaking the truth about working Pennsylvanians and criticizing big [...]

What is wrong with this email?

April 7, 2008 – 12:17 pm

Image from WikipediaReceived this email from a friend I have known since 2nd grade (47 years). Now 47 years is too long a time to hold someone’s political persuasion against them. But the rigmarole I found is this email that he forwarded to me this morning astounded me:
Are you a Republican or Democrat? [...]

So much for FEC laws

April 3, 2008 – 1:23 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYy-F50CCas

Just another example of what happens when people in power decide to twist and break the law to suit themselves. Revised Nixon rule, “If the [candidate for] President does it, it’s not against the law.”

When your spouse cheats on you

March 29, 2008 – 8:55 am

Good article over at OpEd News about the state of our country. An analogy of our current state of affairs comes to mind of the spouse (i.e. we Americans) who refuses to acknowledge that his/her mate is unfaithful (i.e. our government’s illegal and immoral Iraq occupation and the lies supporting the occupation). The [...]
