Subprime Mortgage meltdown
2008-05-26 08:42:00
There is a simple explanation for this meltdown. Greed. Deregulation and more greed. I don’t think that we have seen the worst of these Subprime mortgage losses.

Alton Logan freed after wrongly jailed for 26 years
2008-05-26 08:36:00
Many of my conservative friends believe in the rightness of capital punishment. They know to their core that it is the right thing to do. I, on the other hand, hear stories like Alton Logan ’s and I know that we are fallible. I know that we make mistakes.

Obama at Wesleyan University
2008-05-26 08:04:00
Truly giving a commencement address is very, very difficult. I have sat in the audience on more than one occasion. I remember being very bored for during most of the commencement addresses as the speaker droned on about something. These young people had a chance to hear and listen to Barack Obama .

McCain?s bad week
2008-05-26 05:46:00
What an interesting and downright confusing week for John McCain’s political campaign. I’m not sure that there was any good news that came out of Senator McCain’s camp this week. As a matter of fact, this week reminded me of Rudy Giuliani’s worst week of a political campaign that I have ever seen.

Shame on us

Shame on us. Shame on us, progressives. At no time in history, at least not that I know of, has there been a more energized progressive movement.

Access to McCain?s Medical Records a Joke

A hand selected group of reporters (only 20 people) was allowed to access 1,173 pages of Senator John McCain?s medical records for three hours. No one was allowed to Xerox or photograph the records.

I have liked Harry Connick, Jr ever since I first heard him about 15 years ago. Although he is well known, he hasn’t really had a big hit. This tune Whisper your name did get some air play.

McCain Fails to Support Troops, Again
