If it were 1972 and John McCain was still a POW in North Vietnam...

...and some Democratic Senators tried to shoot down Nixon's negotiations to get McCain and the other POWs released by sending a letter to Hanoi...

...how ready to let them get off the hook by claiming they were in a rush to get home do you think John McCain would be?

Would he be cutting them any slack even 40 years later?

I will never contribute to ActBlue again.

In October, before the election, I contributed money to ActBlue's campaign appeals and I made sure to mark those as one-time-only contributions.

Today i find out they are going to charge me the same amount for every month since then claiming that I authorized recurring contributions.

I will never contribute to ActBlue again.

Would you believe I bought a tuba by accident this year on ebay?

Here we are playing Gustav Holst's "Cranham" AKA "In the Bleak Midwinter"

How to explain "If you like your insurance, you can keep it."

What he ought to say: "When I said, 'if you like your insurance you can keep it,' I didn't realize there were so many people out there who liked crappy, over-priced insurance."

The famous "Saturday Night Live" segment from the 70's that foresaw our current guns-a-plenty culture. It's a bit fuzzy but it's the only copy I've seen on the internet.

We wanted to see what kind of people carry guns.

Obama was out to show he wasn't the hell-raising, preacher-talking, white-hating, Kenyan anti-colonialist, Angela Davis clone-marrying, black power revolutionary that FOX News claimed they had video of.

Mission Accomplished!

Now get that guy back.

Call it a "Secret Swiss Bank Account"

Ask "Why does any American need a Secret Swiss Bank Account?"

Ask "What kind of person bets against the American economy by holding foreign currency reserves in a Secret Swiss Bank Account?"

Ask "What are the loyalties of someone who has a Secret Swiss Bank Account? Is that person really 100% on the side of America?"

Point out that there are only two reasons someone has a Secret Swiss Bank Account... either they are hiding money they've gotten illegally or they are going to be hiding money they've gotten illegally.

Which one is Mitts' reason?

Those are all honest questions to be asking every day and Mitt needs to be asked them every day. He need to be made to answer them every day, because his answers will always expose him as a person out for himself and not America.

How about omitting blood transfusions?

I've seen some non-plausible "what-if" theories about how letting Catholic-owned businesses deny contraceptive coverage to their employees would lead to other religious business owners carving out other unacceptable exemptions in health care.

But here's a plausible possibility. Jehovah's Witnesses teach that blood transfusions are unacceptable.

From Wikipedia...

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Bible prohibits ingesting blood and that Christians should therefore not accept blood transfusions or donate or store their own blood for transfusion.[1] Watch Tower Society publications teach that the Witnesses' refusal of transfusions of whole blood or its four primary components—red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma—is a non-negotiable religious stand and that those who respect life as a gift from God do not try to sustain life by taking in blood,[2][3] even in an emergency.[4]

That is as real a dogma to the Witnesses as contraception is to Catholics.

What if a Witness business owner wanted to insist his or her employees health insurance not cover blood transfusions? That would be a serious gap in coverage, and yet the matter is a serious religious principle to the Jehovah's Witness and paying for transfusions might well violate their principles.

All the current focus is on trying to hammer out a two-state solution. The problem with that is no matter where the border goes, both sides are going to be disappointed that some portion is permanently out of reach. Also, there has been a de facto two-state setup in place since the 1967 war. How well has that worked? Calling the Palestinian part a country and planting a flag there won't solve much.

I'm proposing a one-state solution. That is not a new idea, a number of optimistic individuals have been floating such for years.

This is my version...
