Her … [Read more...] about Throwback Thursday: Young Hillary Clinton Video Mocked Clinton’s Dirty Campaign Tactics In 2008

No Way, Jose? Crowdfunded ‘Star Trek’ Fan Movie Draws Lawsuit from Paramount, CBS
Let's be blunt. No matter how good the artisitic motives, no matter how profound the sentiment of fans, no matter how skillful the thought that is going into it, CBS and Paramount will in no way, shape or form let an independent production using their Star Trek franchise go forward without having some form of control or financial settlement. Will the project be halted? Legally, … [Read more...] about No Way, Jose? Crowdfunded ‘Star Trek’ Fan Movie Draws Lawsuit from Paramount, CBS
An article of conciliation
WASHINGTON -- At year's end, I want to offer a word to my conservative and libertarian readers whose patience I try regularly.

The Joy Of Reading
I read a lot these days since I'm retired, have a lot of spare time and really don't like television or even movies. There is something about reading that stimulates the imagination. Although I still read some non fiction I must admit when I read these days I'm trying to escape. I read a lot of Science Fiction - visiting fictional worlds is truly an escape.

Check your hubris Democrats - it could blow the election (AGAIN), says Robert Reich With the primary election right around the corner, it's time for some thoughtful consideration for picking the nominee for our party strategically, but also for turning seats at the state and federal level blue.

Bernie Sanders & Jim Webb Criticize Clinton’s Interventionist Foreign Policy Views
While foreign policy has frequently been pushed behind economics in this election, largely due to the emphasis placed on this by her major challenger, Bernie Sanders, foreign policy remains a major reason for opposition to Clinton on the left.

Looking Back
I will turn 70 in 2016 so perhaps this is a good time to look back. I grew up in the 50s - the golden age for the American middle class. But that's not what I remember. Instead I remember the weekly and futile cold war duck and cover exercises at my school probably best described by Jimmy Buffet,"tuck your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye". Then came the … [Read more...] about Looking Back

Where to look for conservatism here — in America
Two side-by-side headlines on the front page of the New York Times suggest a real answer, one that overturns the self-images the both major parties like to have of themselves. Because there is nothing conservative about a Republican party (and hasn't been for decades) that squanders the country's wealth. We could be talking here about that party's militarism and what it has … [Read more...] about Where to look for conservatism here — in America

It Depends on What The Definition of Sexism Is
Around the water cooler at my day job we were talking about Donald Trump's statement that Bill Clinton's history of extramarital affairs demonstrates a "penchant for sexism." The consensus, among both men and women, was that, whatever one may think of the morality of serial philandering, it is not sexist unless there is some aspect to what is going on that is specifically … [Read more...] about It Depends on What The Definition of Sexism Is
