Politically Minded

Because the challanges of school board elections are not much different than any other local elected position, a school board campaign website can help make the difference!

The Fair Trade Certified™ skeptics sent me on a journey to ask some important questions and here are the results - by the way, if you're in SF on Thursday night, TransFair USA is hosting San Francisco's first ever Fair Trade Wine Night. Pick which neighborhood wine bar is closest to you. See http://www.fairtradewinenight.com/ for details.

The time for presidential rhetoric is over. It is time for some action. This performance makes Katrina look like a home run!

The world condemns Israel for stopping weapons from coming in to the Gaza Strip for Hamas, when the one goal of Hamas is the obliteration of Israel.

Jobs were offered by the White House Chief and Deputy Chief of Staff to clear the field in primary elections, yet President Obama did not know about it? Sounds a little far fetched to me.

Watch the oil company executives get crucified by the Congress live on C-SPAN3 concerning the BP oil spill and the future of offshore drilling in the United States.

U.S. healthcare in action - A personal story

Nike: Just don't do it!

According to the steel ministry, some concessions or exemptions should be given to state-owned companies like Steel Authority of India and National Mineral Development Corporation. They deserve special consideration because of the "historical role" they played in accepting "social obligations" in different, especially extremely backward, parts of India. According to people's movements and non-governmental organisations who speak for the communities and vulnerable groups affected or liable to be affected by mining, the answer is sharply different. They emphasise the high human and social costs of displacement caused by "development" projects, which have uprooted 45 million people since Independence without resettling, leave alone rehabilitating, a large majority of them. Mining, like dams, industries and highways, is responsible for a large chunk of this damage.

Little time to enjoy the GOP takeover of control of the House. It is time to try and reverse healthcare and put the country back on track. It is also time to find out about the quantitative easing by the Fed.

What happens if you rely on the neighborhood bully to give YOU your lunch money every day? The same thing that could happen to the U.S. by relying on China for our deficit spending and the funding of those same deficits!

The founding fathers were very concerned about the danger of democracy and spoke quite openly about the need to construct the democratic institutions so that threat would be contained.  That's why the Senate has so much more power than the House, to mention just one example.

Internet freedom going bye bye? The left believes in free speech for their side but not thee? Interesting information from FCC Commissioner speech - very good to read - powerful speech against Net Neutrality

Read the truth before you believe the spin. Facts, numbers and statistics may not be as glorified as running around like you have your hair on fire, but the facts prove we are the most generous country in the world with immigration, and this bill was just another attempt to buy votes. Check out the proof of the Reid Conspiracy.

That's right! Dirty Harry and his spendariffic crowd are back again with another bill to spend money where it is, in many cases not needed. But you won't know because the bill is too damn large to read..... again.

Hugh Hefner engaged to 24-year old Crystal Harris.

Article on what the President's Kwanzaa message really revealed - from his own lips!

Boy oh boy, Chuckie and Harry and the boys from the left are about to make a big mistake - one wonders? Should we cheer them on?

Illegals are offended by us calling them illegal and this person is "campaigning" to get us to be less offensive by calling them undocumented. Unreal.

Head this thing off at the pass. Give the GOP cover to at least try - because we know the other side just hit the accelerator!
