After reading Joe Cannon’s piece, it struck me that perhaps the whole collective bargaining thing in Wisconsin has become a smokescreen. Oh yes, they want to do that too, but even if that part of the bill is taken out, and there is a glimmer of hope that might be a possibility, there are still horrible parts [...]

Who pays Nevada’s taxes, exactly?
Posted in Community Values, Economy, Nevada on February 26, 2011 | Comments Off
It is a mantra expounded by Nevada Republicans and accepted without question by Nevada Democrats that Nevadans pay too much in taxes. This is why you will never hear any Democratic candidate or office holder, let alone State Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford, mention the “T” word when addressing the state’s budget woes. I only call out the [...]

I’m happy about the change of heart, but given the make-up of the U.S. Supreme Court, and the fact that the rightwing religionists are in charge of the House of Representatives, does repeal even stand a chance? President Obama, in a major legal policy shift, has directed the Justice Department to stop defending the Defense of Marriage [...]
When a country goes insane
Posted in Living in America, Real Life vs Ideology on February 21, 2011 | Comments Off
It’s almost surrealistic. But decades of relentless Republican hate-mongering against the government has done its job. Never mind that it was government that pulled off the greatest feat of social engineering in history. In 1900, only 4% of Americans graduated from high school. By 2000, more than 80% did. It was this mass educated public [...]
