It’s a new year, and we’ve been trying to find new topics for our columns.
In reviewing the columns over the past few years, we wrote against racism and animal cruelty. But, there’s still racism and animal cruelty, so we’ll still have to speak out on these critical social issues.
We wrote about tolerance and the acceptance [...]

Dick Wolf, who created “Law & Order” and its two successful spin-offs, “Law & Order: SVU” and “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” should probably consider establishing a branch office in Pennsylvania.
It seems that whenever any of the New York City cops take a road trip to find a fugitive or track down a witness, they [...]

During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama was called mentally unstable; his supporters were called unpatriotic. At Sarah Palin rallies, in newspaper letters-to-the-editor, on conservative radio and TV talk shows, supporters spewed hatreds, resorting to the Bush tactics of fear mongering to support their own candidate.
At many rallies, the word “kill” was often [...]

Yay! I voted, yesterday. Now, I get to sit back for another week and try to tune out some of the political drama that continues on, unabated. We’ve got idiots plotting mass killing and assassination sprees. We’ve got morons creating hoaxes to scare people. We have people doing evil and disgusting things to get their [...]

Wow. I’m suffering from a lack of wit, today. Just like your average political candidate, I’m feeling pretty much like I’m full of sh…um…stuff that I appear to be having trouble expressing.
Despite the new network television shows premiering this week, I still can’t get enough of the Obama-McCain show. I really love those hard-hitting reality [...]

Today is my oldest son’s 19th birthday and I rolled in just past my bedtime after attending a concert in a neighboring city, last night. Although, I’m a tad wound up, I am still a bit tired, so I’m keeping today’s Ten Post Round-Up short and sweet. The goal, today, is to describe each link [...]

On a street in Shenandoah, Pa., deep in the heart of the anthracite coal region, six White teens took their racial hatred to a higher level. They confronted 25-year-old Luis Ramirez, an undocumented worker, and beat him to death.
At first the police chief, the mayor, and borough manager refused to believe racism was involved. Although [...]

Much has been said here over the past months about the sexism that Hillary Clinton has confronted throughout her campaign. The WaPo has a piece today on the subject and the fact that Hillary Clinton is vowing to “battle on” with her campaign.
Women of all ages and nationalities push against the rope line carrying books and [...]

Hillary’s dominating in the non-African American working class votes. There is no question about that. People can call it racism, but I think the hook in Shakira’s song above is a more accurate reason why. (Yeah, you’re going to have to do some translation.)
Here’s the deal: Hillary’s road map to the nomination hasn’t changed since [...]

…That John Kerry sniped mercilessly at Howard Dean during the 2004 primary, but no one ever accused him of being a traitor to the Democratic Party?
…That when feminists complain of massive sexism and misogyny during the campaign, they are called “whiners,” but when Obama supporters complain of racism, they are called “victims of injustice”?
…That when [...]
