What’s with Blacks?

What’s with Blacks?

I’m not black, so some will question my credibility and the relevance of this article. But when you consider the direction we’re headed and what four more years of this president will do, I think every person/voter should read it, regardless of color or political orientation. I wrote a similar piece about Jews a few days ago, which you can read on this blog under societal alerts. I plan to write two more on Hispanics and...

What’s with Jews?

I’m half Jew by my mother Rebecca and my dear friend Paul is whole Jew by yada yada! We’ve been getting together lately to kvetch about Jews and how they vote, especially Ohio Jews, Pennsylvania Jews, Virginia Jews, Florida Jews – although they’re a whole different story! Anyway, what’s to be done? Stubborn like mules, they know all about fat cat republicans with their big houses & steppin’ on little guys....

Letter to Paul

Letter to my good friend Paul, a politically conservative Jew, who’s discouraged by the debating performance of Mr. Romney 10/17/12 Hey Bubie, Well, I was hoping for more from Romney and I’m sure you were too, but overall, he did OK. He definitely seems gun-shy about challenging/attacking Obama with cold hard facts, like the Libyan tragedy or his broad-sweeping proclamations how his policies are working, how the Bush...

Smilin’ Biden

Smilin’ Biden

There were many memorable moments during the Vice-President debate the other night, but most agree the main image committed to memory was the grimacing, glaring, smiling facial antics of Vice President Biden. It seemed every time Congressman Ryan tried to make a point, he would immediately begin his routine, adding softly modulated groans and grunts for emphasis. He also rudely interrupted Ryan numerous times, unwilling or...
