Struggling to Think “Glass Half Full” After Supreme Court Decision
May 27, 2011 By 3 Comments
I usually try to be an optimistic, “glass half full” kind of person, but yesterday when I read that the Supreme Court had upheld an Arizona law that allows fines and business license revocation for companies that knowingly hire “illegal aliens,” it took some serious effort to come up with optimistic scenarios for the future [...]

How are the GOP governors who rejected high-speed rail projects doing? Buyer’s remorse has set in spectacularly swiftly – from Wisconsin to Florida, their approval ratings have a trajectory like locomotive plunging off a trestle.

His comments on the Sunday talk shows have inspired a shit-storm among fellow Republicans, as well as a glitter-storm from a pro-gay-rights protester (pictured [...]
Arnold Schwarzenegger – How many people did Governor Greenwash screw?

As an authentic investigative journalist, one who had the courage and integrity to expose Schwarzenegger’s war on fish, fishermen and Tribes, I must say to the mainstream media, “I could have told you so,” in reference to the “revelation” that Schwarzenegger fathered a “love child.”
The Los Angeles Times reported on May 17 that the former California governor admitted to Maria Shriver, his wife, that he’d fathered a child with member of the household staff who had worked for the family for 20 years. Shriver took that as an opportunity to separate from “the Gropenator”.
