Want to know why Congress is having problems passing legislation? Here are some of the findings on the beliefs of Republicans: – 63 percent of Republicans believe Obama is a socialist; – 39 percent think Obama should be impeached; – 24 percent said Obama wants “the terrorists to win”; – 31 percent agreed with the statement that Obama is “a racist who hates white people.” – 36 percent of respondents [...]
Unfortunately, it would appear that the Republicans are not going to change their spots. Republican Senator Cantor was out on the stump today telling the American people that the President’s budget called for “big tax increases” at a time when small business could least afford them. This is a flat out lie. The President’s budget DOES NOT CALL FOR TAX INCREASES. It allows the Bush Tax cuts on the wealthy [...]
Rumors, rumors, rumors. the latest Apple invention, the Islate is supposed to be announced tomorrow. After attending the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago — it’s difficult to believe that anything else could really wow me. The bloggie panoramic video recorder from Sony, the charger pad where you just toss your phone down, the 3-D TV’s all over the place, the 42 million Intel chip [...]
While Massachusetts voters think they’ve found themselves a ‘good ol’ boy’ who drives a truck and is “just like them” — Wall Street knows better. Because a vote for Scott Brown is a vote against health care reform, the health insurance companies were wildly ecstatic today in anticipation of Scott Brown’s win for Ted Kennedy’s old Senate seat. Some of the today’s big winners include Merck, up $1.02 to $40.49; [...]
Hi Everybody. It’s Academy Award Season again! And to kick the fun off is the Golden Globes. We all watch the Golden Globes — but who the heck are they anyway? Well, depending on how you count, the 82 to 90 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press vote for the Golden Globes winners. Who are these people? Well, for the most part, people you’ve never heard of. Names like — [...]
All news sources are reporting that the Federal Government’s intelligence community has reports of credible sources that say another attack attempt on the United States by the Yemeni branch of Al Qaeda is imminent. Yemen’s most influential Islamic cleric Sheik Abdel-Majid al-Zindani, considered an al-Qaida-linked terrorist by the United States, talks during a press conference in the capital San’a, Yemen today. A group of prominent Muslim clerics is warning it [...]
If you are looking to sell your home in Sherman Oaks, make sure you use a real estate agent that actually lives in your neighborhood. Why, you say? Because (a) that agent has a vested interest in selling your home for the highest price possible (b) that agent knows the value of your home better than other agents and (c) the agent may know you. If you live in Sherman [...]
David Barton will be teaching the Constitution to the incoming class of GOP Congresspeople. So who is he? A Constitutional lawyer? A historian perhaps? Hardly. He’s a “Christian historical revisionist,” A Fraud with an undergraduate degree in “Christian Education” from Oral Roberts University. (You remember Oral Roberts University — the one where the founder climbed up a tree and waited for God to give him money?) An extreme, extreme right [...]

When we wanted to start this blog, we went to the person who had always fixed our computers for us: Carole Bonds. Carole lives right here in Sherman Oaks and has for 15 years. For the past 15 years, Carole’s always been there to rescue of us when one of our computers broke. And it didn’t matter whether the computer was a MAC or a PC — she knew how [...]
I kept wondering why Joe Lieberman was against health care reform and kept saying he would filibuster with the Republicans to keep the legislation from coming to the Senate floor. Well, Joe didn’t vote to filibuster last night. And neither did any other democrat. But here’s what Joe said this morning on Meet The Press. Joe is worried about the deficit. He is worried that the public option will increase [...]
Two conservative democracts, ladies, Blanche Lincoln, D-Arkansas and Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, may join forces tomorrow evening at 8PM ET, with Republicans. What for? To keep Americans from hearing the open and honest debate the President Obama requested, over health care reform. Let’s be clear. Tomorrow night won’t be a vote on whether or not to pass health care reform — No, no, no, no – This is just the vote [...]
It just dawned on me. The Klan has a new name: Tea Baggers. They’re a touch more sophisticated than they used to be. They don’t scream out “Nigger” anymore. They don’t talk about race overtly. But this is who they are. At the height of the Klan movement, there were 45 million members. They held HUGE marches in Washington, D.C., marching down Pennsylvania Ave. Since they were sued by the [...]
The GOP is doing a great job as confusing the American people once again. They’re masters at it. Now the confusion is over the recession and who is responsible for it. I’d like to say that this confusion is limited to the uneducated segment of the american population. Bit it isn’t. At a board meeting of a major corporation last week — the board members (all wealthy men), were blaming [...]
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of [...]
When I was a kid, I had the kind of mom who believed in right and wrong. If I went into a store to buy something — and the cashier accidentally gave me back too much change — my mother would march me back inside the store and make me give the excess change back to the cashier. My mother explained to me that if I didn’t so that, the [...]

The New Deal was a complex package of economic programs from 1933-36 designed to address the 3 Rs caused the the Great Depression of 1929: 1. Relief to the unemployed and badly hurt farmers. 2. Reform of business and financial practices 3. Recovery of the economy during the Great Depression. It represented a significant shift from traditional American social and economic practices.
