It seems Representative Albio Sires (D-NJ) doesn't have a clue...
<h2>Here we go again. Another vanity run for an office he can't win.</h2> I'm am not saying that Ralph would make a bad president. However, whatever kind of president he could be is totally irrelevant....
<h2>It's a question that begs an answer from Mrs. Clinton.</h2> I was furious. Pounding my fist on the bar, yelling, "Oh God! Can someone please tell me what the hell experience does Hillary Clinton actually have!!"...
<h2>Black President? Woman President? How about Right President?</h2> This has been one of the longest 'pre-season' campaigns in history. Now with the 'official' season underway, I'm hoping my fellow Americans don't make the same mistake they always do....
<h2>Moments after this horrific act, fingers were pointing...</h2> I’m not going to speculate on who did this or why. The bottom-line fact remains that Benazir Bhutto, more than most politicians, deserved to live......
<h2>Not exactly the type of honesty I was looking for, but...</h2> As many of you know, I despise the usual game of storytelling and sound bites that has replaced true honesty in politics. But what happened the other day really takes the cake....
<h2>An offense is resolved depending on your outlook</h2> A question was on yesterday’s ballot in New Jersey asking if a certain offensive phrase should be removed from the election regulations. Two things immediately struck me about this situation. First was that no one noticed or said a...
<h2>Making excuses for Government johns</h2> What could be worse than government officials buying sex? All of the talking heads on Fox News trying to justify the placement of certain names on that tell-tale list by the alleged DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey. My favorite excuse came from S...
<h2>Similarities are getting scarier</h2> In August 2005, I humorously compared George Bush's Iraq strategy to that of Futurama's Zapp Brannigan in his battle against the Series Seven Killbots. As of yesterday, this is no longer funny as Bush announced his ingenious new strategy of escal...
<h2>It's about friggin' time!</h2> Recently our president decided to finally go where he was supposed to go back when his peers were being killed for our country. Vietnam. He also finally made the comparisons of this pointless, politically motivated and unpopular war in Iraq to that very ...
<h2>Still I'm a little disappointed in some of my peers</h2> OK so there we were for the past few years screaming and bitching about the team of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. We hated this war and the lies that got us there. We were sick of the 'Stay the Course' attitude that permeated thru ...
<h2>Thanks to the candidates, I know what I need to do</h2> I am so sick of the course of politics in this country. Especially the thought of any hope of real positive policy being lost in a sea negative campaigning. As the race for Senator in New Jersey heats up, I've been exposed to ads...
<h2>Our nuclear weapons are ok but yours are evil</h2> Is it just me? Does anyone else think it's weird that the US has a list of countries that can and cannot have nuclear weapons? Oh sure, the list itself seems logical enough. I mean if you are an ally like Pakistan or the UK than you'r...
<h2>Proof that old men should not have web access</h2> Over the past few days there's been a lot of blame being tossed around for why Congressman Mark Foley sent sexually explicit advances to an underaged male page. If you ask me, the reason why he did this is simple; he is sick. Of cours...
<h2>Why do we always let ourselves be fooled?</h2> I was a big fan of former NJ Governor Jim Florio who told us flat out that taxes would go up. After all, it's as byproduct of inflation. Everything goes up. Food, rent, gas, phone, etc. So why would taxes miraculously be unaffected? His o...
<h2>Oh apparently about $1.00 ... what a bargain</h2> OK, so there I was on 125th Street waiting for a friend to come out of the bank. Inadvertently I made eye contact with a woman holding a paper called 'The Revolution'. She immediately went into her rant about the atrocities of war, the...
<h2>Scare tactics worked as the State re-opens services</h2> I had gotten some minor, constructive flack from folks, including my friend singer/songwriter Dave Calamoneri, for being so harsh solely on the governor during this short but scary crisis. He helped to clear up one vital point. ...
