    A Senatorial Sinner and a Patsy President

    Obama is in a no-win situation from which he will not recover politically unless he acts boldly and changes course immediately. The President must get [...]



    my only reservation about ted kennedy

    has been that Orrin Hatch was among his best friends:

    Ted Kennedy was largely responsible for the bill, complete with robust public option, that was voted out the the HELP committee. One has to believe he would want passage of the bill he helped author.

    With friends like that…

    (I have trouble sometimes relating to my own brother and cousins who supported almost everything Bush did, including [...]



    farewell to the king

    Ted Kennedy stumbled into my awareness sometime in the mid-70s, as the butt of late-night jokes. I didn’t understand the references to driving and bridges and drowning, but I did understand that this Kennedy was some relation to the demi-god who was assassinated before I was born, and his younger brother, who was assassinated shortly after.

    I felt my birth order position keenly in those [...]

    On behalf of Mrs. Robert Kennedy, her children and the parents and sisters of Robert Kennedy, I want to express what we feel to those who mourn with us today in this Cathedral and around the world. We loved him as a brother and father and son. From his parents, and [...]



    my healthcare conundrum

    And why we really need a public option – NOW:

    I’ve worked for the same small company for the last 14 years. We have 5 employees, one of whom – the President – is 81 years old and finally capitulated to socialism by joining Medicare last year. So only 4 of us are on the company-provided healthcare plan.

    I’m pretty lucky: my employer pays for [...]



    Go Sestak

    Actions have consequences…

    Wouldn’t it be great if Specter had his petuddy(sp) handed to him by a challenger that actually acts like a true Democrat in the primary?  We need a massive amount of new blood in Congress.  This will be a test if people in Pennsylvania value seniority over Democratic issues.  There is no way anyone can argue Arlen is good [...]



    this is a great time to block obama’s health & science nominees, dontcha think?

    At Sunday afternoon’s White House press briefing on the administration’s efforts to combat and control a potential swine flu outbreak, press secretary Robert Gibbs was joined by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, deputy national security adviser John Brennan, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acting director Dr. Richard Besser.

    Noticeably absent on stage was a fully confirmed federal health care official: There was no health [...]
