Dinner and Politics Don't Mix
Written by Kempite   

I have to apologize here from the get go. The other night my partner Nick, and I went out to a local diner for a quick bite to eat. We were seated at a booth in between a group of four behind me and a group of three senior citizens behind Nick. While perusing the menu my ears caught the phrase “I don’t like Obama”. It came from one of the ladies in the group sitting behind Nick .

Being preoccupied by politics, certain buzz words like election, President, McCain, or Obama, catch my attention even when I am not paying attention. So this older woman’s utterance of the word “Obama” lit up my on my radar screen. Even though it may have been impolite to pay attention to a conversation not involving me, I couldn’t help myself. So I apologize for any impolite eavesdropping, that I may be guilty of. It wasn’t my intent but I’m a political junkie, and as such, this election season is for me what Christmas is to a wide eyed, little boy. It’s like the Super Bowl to football fans and I am just in tune to any references to politics. Besides, to put it nicely, this woman was not using her inside voice.

 
An Open Letter To Keith Olberman

An Open Letter To Keith Olbermann and NBC.

Dear Depraved, Liar;

I happened to see your low rated program “Countdown with Keith Olbermann”. I would have turned you off like most Americans do but I was curious. I wondered if you were as big a schmuck as I have been told you were. Like passing a car wreck on the Garden State Parkway, I just had to look and see if it was possible for a news station to be as irresponsible as I have been told NBC is. Not only did I find that it was possible, I was stunned by the outright lies and offensiveness of the so called program you attempted to get through, .

 
Spinner in the No-Spin Zone
Written by Lee Rudy   

When it comes to unbiased, fair and balanced Fox News reporting, much is to be desired. Catchy slogans do just that, catch. You can hide under slogans like those coming from Bill O’Reilly and his ‘No-Spin Zone’, but when it comes to Dems, Reps Bill uses a more self-righteous epithets. Stuck in the values of the past and beating on a dead horse he seems closed-minded when it comes to less conservative fresh and new things. Yet, the conservatives use brand new technology, flat screens TV, mobile phone and Internet. they are no Amish for sure. Only religion’s wheels are stuck in the mud of the past, because it constantly borrows from it. Conservative Republicans do the same, as if they are afraid of the new, the untested. That’s their only trump card they can play these days, untested inexperience.

 
It is official: Keith Olbermann has become a sad parody of himself.
Written by Paleo Pat

Tonight I saw something that I thought I would never see. I saw a famous liberal broadcaster become a sick parody of himself; Keith Olbermann, who has been lauded by the Republicans as the Anti-Christ of the liberal political world tonight went, in this writers opinion, from a professional broadcaster with a bit of a liberal slant to an overpaid journalistic hack.

Keith was reporting or something to that effect, on the roast that Barack Obama and John McCain both attended, which was held for a very good cause. In the course of this roast, John McCain landed some rather good-natured humorous insults at MSNBC and Keith Olbermann. Of course, Keith being the very prideful man that he is felt the need to respond.

 
Socialism in America
Written by Lee Rudy   
Is America slipping into Socialism?
Well it should. Anyway, eventually it will, it’s inevitable. Why?

Watch the European countries like, Brittan, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, or even France, all of them are socialistic, which means, their citizens do, and quite naturally so, have affordable healthcare and social services; their economies are stable. In Sweden, for example, everyone’s gotten lazy from too much of the good thing. As the human nature tends to be, we would get lazy too by taking the ordinary things for granted. 
 
I'm Sick of the Politicians in this Country
Written by Kevin A. Fitzsimons   
I'm sick of the politicians in this country.  I am disabled, a veteran, and live on a fixed income in one of the country's poorest states, Tennessee.  I have tried to contact my local government in Harriman to no avail.  I have tried to contact my state senators that also to no avail. 
I worked for the U. S. Postal Service for 22 years and was injuried on the job.  The Post Office out-sourced the management of Worker's Compensation claims (as they claim, to reduce paperwork but really so that management could say they had nothing to do with any disapproval of claims i.e, no blood on their hands) and so my claim was turned down.  I had to wait to get surgery on both my knees and couldn't returned to carrying mail because the Post Office claimed that since my injuries weren't job related they didn't have to provide me with work at all.  I had to go on welfare and state-assisted insurance.
