Democrats, who are famous for making a bunch of noise about Fairness, Equal Access, Voter Suppression, and Racial Discrimination ... "REDLINED" all requests by tax-exempt organizations that appeared to...

I, like most of us, have begun to think seriously of late about various socio-political things facing us everyday (trust me - this will have to do with my usual subject matter of media, technology, creativity, etc.), particularly the gun-realted tragedies of the past few years, but also...

In the end, Barack Obama won, and the election was decided by the turnout among women and minorities. The Republicans had gone after Marty McFly's Delorean time machine. They wanted to return to a place and time where white men ruled. Did all Republicans want this? No....

Greed is addictive.
The adrenaline from a dose of "success"
creates desire for another and another

I don't usually write about politics here, or anywhere, although I have at times become so angry with what is going on that I let myself go and put it out there . . . in writing. That's what writers do -- write.

The 2012 election campaign is in full swing, beginning, once again, to stage the vast (and vastly repetitive) drama that periodically mesmerizes the body politic. Like a huge pod out of Invasion of The Body-Snatchers, it replaces actual democracy with an expensive similacrum. From time to time...
