Even in death, the saga of Michael Jackson continues

This post is a bit off the beaten path for me, but I think it bears mentioning. Even in death, the saga of Michael Jackson continues unabated. The focus is now on the attending physician at the time of his death, Dr. Conrad Murray. The good doctor was hired by the pop singer to be [...]

Government waste at it’s finest

A lot of discussion has been taking place about the amount of money our government spends every year. Both on Political Realities and on other blogs and in news stories, the new budget of President Obama has been looked at and dissected, cussed and discussed, if you please. The amount of money in question is [...]

Public-financed campaigns

Is there anyone here who hasn’t felt overwhelmed by the amount of money spent on political campaigns? I don’t know about you, but I have bemoaned for years, the fact that it seems to take so much money to even think about being competitive in a national election. It doesn’t matter if we are talking [...]

President Obama and a Republican majority

President Obama’s new budget plan

With all of the talk on Political Realities and around the nation about the budget deficit, I thought it fitting to mention the budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

Since I work in the automotive service industry, I [...]

The State of the Union thereof

I wasn’t going to write about the State of the Union address last night, but here goes nothing. As usual, President Obama gave a good speech. One can not deny how well he can speak. In spite of his swelling words however, there were some things in the speech that I did not agree with. [...]

Scott Brown and the conservatives

Hasn’t this past week or so been a wild and woolly ride in the world of politics? I mean, we had all kinds of excitement, including a Republican win in the mostly liberal state of Massachusetts. Who would have thought Scott Brown could have ever pulled off his victory, but we have proof, as he [...]

President Obama to propose spending freeze

It has been a year since the United States of America swore in it’s first African-America President, in the body of Barack Obama. As is customary for a sitting President, he is scheduled to give his annual State of the Union speech on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 and in it, he is expected to offer [...]
