Bailout This, Bailout That: Why Should I Care? -
Mogama (16,480)     
Mogama   
With bailouts from Capitol Hill raining down on Wall Street like showers of blessing for the mega players who have screwed up the financial market, it's getting hard to keep tab. So, let's take a scratch pad and jot down some quick numbers as they come over the airwaves.
Bailout Hall of... ( added 1 year 64 days ago.) |
Fannie and Freddie: Government Bailout or Nationalization? -
Missing Link (675)  
Missing Link
In my mind that loves to speculate about possible conspiracies, I am rarely comfortable with seeing the face of issues. Why would Freddie and Fannie fail to foresee what was happening in the mortgage market? Why would the government of George W. Bush fail to take action when the abuses in the...

Condoleezza + Gaddafi = More Oil! -
Roschelle Nelson (497) 
Roschelle Nelson
Our beloved Condoleezza Rice is in Tripoli...no...that's not a typo. She's in Libya on a "diplomatic" visit to meet and talk with Moammar Gaddafi today to hail the West's reconciliation with the one-time pariah state, becoming the first US Secretary of State to visit in half a century. Hopefully... ( added 1 year 77 days ago.) |

McCain or Obama: Follow the Money -
Missing Link (675)
Missing Link
Both Obama and McCain claim that they will run the special interests out of Washington. To hear them talk, you would expect some sort of Frankenstein mob scene with lots of angry villagers and torches burning. I imagine Barack Obama or John McCain holding a torch in one hand and pounding on... ( added 1 year 78 days ago.) |
Viruses in Space: The International Space Station Gets Hacked -
Danny Davids (19,424)  
Danny Davids
Where computers exist, so does the threat of computer viruses. All over the globe these insidious pieces of software code manage to find their way into desktops and laptops and wreak their havok. Not even outer space is immune. Recently NASA discovered that some computers on the International... ( added 1 year 82 days ago.) |
The Pros and Cons of McCain's VP Selection -
Terry Mitchell (5,334)  
Terry Mitchell
Yesterday John McCain surprised most of the pundits -- myself included -- with his selection of a dark horse candidate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, as his running mate. I'll be the first to admit that I was dead wrong in guessing that his short list had been narrowed to just Minnesota Governor... ( added 1 year 84 days ago.) |
Will the Age of Deregulated Free Market Economy Come to A Close? -
 - Jennifer Cuddy (985)  
Jennifer Cuddy
At the turn of the twentieth century, Capitalism was the only economic model that ruled the world. The failure of the free market, as expressed by the Great Depression, gave birth to two of the world's most influential economic theorists of all time: John Meynard Keynes and Frederick Von Hayek .... ( added 1 year 85 days ago.) |
The Race Card -
Missing Link (675)
Missing Link
The Presidential campaign is being compared metaphorically to a card game, poker I would assume but there are lots of cards being played so it isn't a simple game of Five Card Stud: it's more like unlimited card draw. The candidates get to pick up cards and throw down cards at will, whatever... ( added 1 year 113 days ago.) |
Just Because a Freedom Exists, Should We Use That Freedom To Its Full Potential? -
- Jon Searles (2,091) 
Jon Searles
Recently my father expressed a frustration as it relates to people speaking against and showing open disdain for the United States through their words, and their actions. He was not referring to other governments and those outside the U.S. but those within its borders. He definitely has his own... ( added 1 year 117 days ago.) |

To Drill Or Not To Drill? Why The Ban Should Be Lifted -
Abigail Richards (9,861) 
Abigail Richards
We continue to hear the debate of drilling in the Arctic. The United States has a 27-year old ban on drilling in the coastal waters off Alaska.
Environmental groups continue to argue that drilling would be too detrimental to the environment. I have set with awe and wonder as this debate... ( added 1 year 121 days ago.) |
McCain v. Obama = A Dirt Clod Throwing Contest -
Missing Link (675)
Missing Link
I am so sick and tired of these two buffoons. McCain is working his rear off to make Obama look like a childish neophyte while Obama is working his off to look like an elder statesman. I just want to barf.
Do they not get what We the People are concerned about? Do they not understand that it is... ( added 1 year 121 days ago.) |
Senator Grassley and the "Six Ministry Controvesy": Voluntary ECFA and Charity Navigator Oversight Needed -
- Jean Purcell (1,878)
Jean Purcell
I have searched the website of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and do not find there any of the six ministries that Senator Charles Grassley investigated for financial accountability.

Wounded Soldiers In Search Of Home - MIAs and Government Corruption -
Mark Parsec (16,631)  
Mark Parsec
I cannot help but think sometimes that the government is nothing more than a tool of the wealthy to enslave the population into perpetual debt.
I can remember the corruption in the government when I worked for the Office of the Adjutant General in our state capitol between 1982 and 1986. I... ( added 1 year 126 days ago.) |
Using The "N" Word As a Term of Endearment? -
Roschelle Nelson (497)
Roschelle Nelson
On Thursday morning, "The View" had another heated debate similar to those of days gone by when Rosie O'Donnell shared a seat at the round table.
This time it was Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Whoopi Goldberg who were sparring partners.
Tempers began to flare when Hasselbeck expressed her... ( added 1 year 127 days ago.) |
Judgment Belongs to God, Not to Man -
Missing Link (675)
Missing Link
Way back in my posting I said I'd write a post some day about judgment versus observation. I felt that first I needed to go to the Encarta Online Dictionary for the definitions.
Judgment – 1. God's judgment on an individual; legal verdict; obligation resulting from a verdict; decision of a... ( added 1 year 129 days ago.) |
We Need a Significant Emotional Event -

Is Voting Free? Some Voters Have Choices and Others Have None -
- Jean Purcell (1,878)
Jean Purcell
When Iraqi citizens of the legal voting age were first able to vote a few years ago, they risked their lives to do so. Do we treasure freedom to that degree?
Their identities as voters did not depend on neighbors' claims. The voters had ink-stained fingers identifying them. Easy targets... ( added 1 year 131 days ago.) |
American Democracy, Freedom, and National Identity -
- Jean Purcell (1,878)
Jean Purcell
I am completely "sold" on American democracy in particular and democracy in general, so long as the latter includes the right to vote, to have elected representation, and to speak of one's political views and religious beliefs. I am thinking seriously about writing a little book for publication... ( added 1 year 131 days ago.) |
Democracy & Politics: Random & True FAQs about Where I Stand -
- Jean Purcell (1,878)
Jean Purcell
Like me, you may find that when the subject of politics comes up, people quickly make assumptions about what you think about everything.
You may know what it's like to be challenged about your views, once people learn you follow political or national events.
I decided it might be... ( added 1 year 136 days ago.) |

- Jean Purcell (1,878)
Jean Purcell
The protest news about the recent Independence Day events at
Monticello, home of the drafter of the U. S. Declaration of Independence,
Thomas Jefferson, annoyed me.
It took a while to figure out all the parts of my
reaction. The key part had to do with the meanings behind the complaints and... ( added 1 year 136 days ago.) |

"Oilman T. Boone Pickens says the present
foreign-oil-dependency of the U. S. is something we can't drill our way out
of.'"
That is the headline, and I look forward to the next ad by

Legislators Fiddle While California Burns -
Missing Link (675)
Missing Link
There is apparently a law that the California legislature must pass a budget by the 15 th of June and that the Governor must sign a budget by July 1. Yet each year the legislature misses this deadline effectively violating the state constitution, where I come from that means breaking the law.

Political Skills: Too Late to Revive An Important Social Skill in Politics? -
- Jean Purcell (1,878)
Jean Purcell
Drawing on Frank Luntz's book title, "Words That Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear," it is clear that, regarding "Behaviors That Work," it's not what you do, it's what people perceive. I remember cringing when President George H. W. Bush, "Bush One," glanced at his watch while... ( added 1 year 145 days ago.) |
