It is with great pleasure that I go back in the day and present Ralph Graham. He was an entertainer and songwriter that we all loved at a local club in Massachusetts in the early seventies. He sang for us regularly and the club would be shoulder to shoulder. When his album finally came out we all grabbed it and I still have it on vinyl.Wish there was some video as he was wonderful to watch.

As “weak sauce” as Geithner is on Financial Services regulation, Dimon is even worse. Dimon is opposed to ALL of the lame regulations that Geithner is proposing. How bad is that?

Back in the 60’s I thought there was something so terribly wrong with the folks who populate the U.S. of A. Now I am saying this as a former Republican. But when the Right came up with the “Southern Strategy” I was done. The rhetoric surrounding the opposition to the Civil Rights Movement became increasingly dangerous. I lived in Massachusetts at the time and there were white folks

Dylan Ratigan has him on to talk about our continuing quagmire in Afghanistan. And as we all know, Mr. Engel has spent a great deal of time in Country. How much blood and treasure are we going to spend in the Country where “Empires Go To Die?” Why do we think that we will be better at this than the British or the Soviets or Genghis Khan for that matter?

I am agreeing with Friedman far too much recently. This is the second time in the last 30 days. This time it is on Afghanistan and the President’s and our Country’s conundrum. Everyone is getting in on advising the Obama Administration on this dilemma. And Friedman raises some very good points. If President Obama can find a way to balance the precise number of troops that will stabilize

The attacks on the Obama Administration, and the rhetoric employed in those attacks, is not unexpected. What is unexpected is the Administration and Democrats in Congress which seem totally unprepared to deal with these attacks. Right after Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States I took James B. Stewart’s book Blood Sport down off the shelf to re-read it. The book is

His coming out, and publicly announcing his anxiety about the Administration’s financial reform policies, isn’t making me have warm and fuzzy feelings. CR breaks it down for us. It sounds like the Whitehouse, and the GS crowd, have marginalized him and the rest of us. Bring back Glass-Steagall and break up those “too big to fail” banks! JMHO!

So, just exactly how many of our soldiers has ACORN killed with shoddy electrical work, or poisoned water and food to the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars? How much money has ACORN been fined for ripping off the taxpayers? Just wondering is all.

Here is Friedman today: According to the energy economist Phil Verleger, a $1 tax on gasoline and diesel fuel would raise about $140 billion a year. If I had that money, I’d devote 45 cents of each dollar to pay down the deficit and satisfy the debt hawks, 45 cents to pay for new health care and 10 cents to cushion the burden of such a tax on the poor and on those who need to drive long

So, finally, we are going to back away from the insane idea of the Missile Defense Shield in Eastern Europe. As Joseph Cirincione, of the Ploughshares Fund said, “[the Missile Defense Shield] is technology that doesn’t work against a threat that doesn’t exist.” This pretty much follows what Zbig said as well. Not to mention a lot of Poles think this change is a good thing. It’s a start,

This debate, such as it is, is about two competing philosophies. On the Right is the YOYO philosophy: You’re On Your Own. On the Left is the WITT philosophy: We’re In This Together.

His defense of Citizens United in the “First amendment” case which the Activist Judges at SCOTUS have decided to rehear this Wednesday, September 9th, with an issue not raised on cert is most frightening for our “democracy.” Here is the link to Moyers’ interviews on the issue and the consequences of
