First, I’ve got a wild video via Matt Taibbi’s blog on True/Slant (click the link and it will open in shadowbox). I mean, he flips out, wants Goldman to be dragged to the Hague. I agree. He gets me really fired up. Max Keiser takes offense to Goldman, Sachs story by Matt Taibbi Then, we have a [...]

…Which is here. Pay of Top Earners Erodes Social Security (You can get the full version if you search through Google News) Ellen E. Schultz, The Wall Street Journal Executives and other highly compensated employees now receive more than one-third of all pay in the U.S., according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Social Security Administration data [...]

This is the first in what will probably be a several part series of rants and internal monologues about how I feel about Goldman, Sachs. Basically, the company can go bite the curb, collectively. If you’ve been paying attention to the recent noise over Goldman, you are definitely familiar with Matt Taibbi and his article, [...]

I would rather be writing a post about Goldman, Sachs or about Noam Chomsky, but, alas, I am feeling a bit stressed about the impending future. So I’m going to go sit on a couch and pout for a bit. Hopefully, I’ll be back sometime this week to offer up some good material. Until then, take [...]

Harry Reid, nothing but excuses kos, Daily Kos During the Bush years, the Senate needed 50 votes (plus Cheney) to pass legislation.

I am asking for your forgiveness in advance, because [...]

No, I’m not talking about the death of celebrities. No, that’s not what I’m here to discuss. Lots of news happened, importantly, on the political front, as of late. Many of these articles are outdated now, but I’ll give you the excerpts anyway. Look for a post about Pride 2009 in Baltimore later this week. It [...]

This has been a very depressing news cycle for me. Ugh. So much negativity swirling around my head. It means that you’ll probably be seeing a few rants within the next few days on this page. Iran is still a mess, and people are dying. Of course I’d like the regime to fall, as well as [...]

It’s June 16. We are coming up on the summer solstice. And yet, I’m walking around outside in two longsleeve shirts, a longsleeve jacket, and corduroy pants. WTF is going on?!?! I don’t know about you, but this is really starting to freak me out. I feel like Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky (tried to find [...]

There is a lot in the news. One, we’ve got Iran in a mess. And two, we’ve got some real idiots compromising away real health reform. Three, we’ve got some real idiots compromising away on regulations that could save us from another recession like this one in the near future. Enjoy!
