Providing healthcare for all is the responsibility of Liberal America.

Conservatives, Centrists, and the Radical Left and Right will never do it. It's up to you.

It is your failure that Americans have been denied the healthcare they need for so long.

Please, Dick Cheney, tell the American people, and the World, how being full of yourself protects them. Tell the American people, and the World, how your know-it-all-ness and bluster saved U.S. lives and the World.

Tell them, Dick Cheney, because when people hear you telling them how great you are but see no evidence of it, they are reminded of others in history who spoke with your certainty, your presumption of superiority, your self elevating rhetoric.

They are reminded of those others and they see, Dick Cheney, that what you are doing and what you have done is not, and was not, intended to protect them. It is, and was, intended to frighten them. It is, and was, intended to manipulate them.

Thanks to scientific advances in birth control and social advances in planning parenthood, the last 50 years unlike any 50 years before them were characterized by the births of an inordinate number of wanted children and an inordinate diminution in the number of births of unwanted children.

When I say unwanted I don't mean unloved. I mean that parents who are often happy with and able to reasonably raise a couple of children are often unhappy with more children than they are not able to reasonably raise. By reasonably raise, I mean having the intellectual, emotional and physical ability to love and care for children.

Parents want and need to have happy relationships with their children. These happy relationships are often compromised by the stresses and strains of trying to raise more children than they reasonably can.

Foolish angry Israelis are following Olmert the way foolish angry Americans followed Bush.

Targeting Islam is purely opportunistic, creating an enemy where one does not exist solely for the purpose of political power.

The only solution to the problems faced by the Israelis and the Palestinians is peace. Any child could tell them, but they keep choosing leaders that can't or for their own purposes, won’t.

Instead of lending money based on credit worthiness, mortgage companies lent money to anyone they could talk into taking it.

Then the mortgage companies insured these mortgages against default through insurance companies.

The insurance companies then sold the insurance policies as securities on the stock exchange.

So when people defaulted on mortgages they couldn't afford to begin with, that were sold to them knowing they couldn't afford them, the mortgage companies failed, the insurance companies failed and the securities companies failed.

When we make smart choices we feel smart, we feel good about ourselves. When we make stupid choices we feel stupid, we feel bad about ourselves. This is a normal part of being human, it's how we learn.

Sometimes the pain of admitting how stupid we have been keeps us from learning. We choose instead to tell ourselves that what we did was smart.

When we do this about things that aren't important it has little effect on us. When we do this only temporarily it has little effect on us. It's just part of learning.

Ultimately, we are responsible for what we choose and choose not to believe.

Admitting we've been lied to can be painful.
Not admitting we've been lied to can be painful.

Admitting we've been fooled can be painful.
Not admitting we've been fooled can be painful.

Admitting we've been lying to ourselves (facing the truth) can also be painful.
Not admitting we've been lying to ourselves (not facing the truth) can be painful too.

(an investigation thwarted a couple weeks ago by a Presidential claim of executive privilege)

There is no reason to believe or even to imagine that either of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq will be resolved in anything resembling "victory."

The average American citizen knows enough about each of these countries and their regional histories to know that nothing like "success" is possible.

"Winning" or "losing" will be defined both individually and nationally by Americans in deaths and injuries.

The historical event that John McCain needed to take responsibility for was the removal of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney from power.

Everyone knows and history will record the fact that no one (no ordinary citizen) could have predicted what President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney would do once they were in power.

Once it was known though it was the responsibility of the Republican Majority Leadership to remove them from power.

The editor of The New Yorker Magazine which specializes in satirical cartoons is asking his readers and the public to believe that he is too stupid to know what is and is not satirical; he is asking his readers and the public to believe that he is too stupid to anticipate the reactions of his readers and the public to the cover he has chosen for his magazine.

The editor of The New Yorker Magazine which specializes in satirical cartoons is asking his readers and the public to agree with him that anyone who doesn't see the obvious satirical intent is stupid and anyone who anticipates reactions from his readers or the public that fail to appreciate the obvious satirical intent is an elitist.

He takes pride in this Gordian Knot of bullshit logic.
