Déjà vu: Fannie Mae, Corporate Socialism and John McCain

Posted on September 6, 2008 by iwilder

The parallels are astounding. So astounding, that I can’t help but think that the current Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac crisis will cause people (even in major media?) to retell the story of the Savings and Loan crisis and the related Keating 5 story, where John McCain was caught in an influence-peddling scheme. Did you hear the […]

Politicians and Drunk Drivers: Tom Suozzi proves himself typical

Posted on July 25, 2008 by iwilder

[Update: It is January 2009 and there has been a lot of movement on this story. One woman did sue the County because she was not drunk, but having symptoms of diabetes. The Wall of Shame program has now been improved in that photos are only posted after people are convicted. I am not sure […]

What is Obama thinking?: In support of Trinity Church

Posted on June 1, 2008 by iwilder

KW: I think it is amazing, and can’t even figure it out, that Barack Obama seems to think that if he quits his church, that when someone says something there the media will now not blame Obama. He should never have been blamed for anything that his pastor or former pastors or a visiting pastor […]

Passport Breaches Show Real Weakness in Data Protection

Posted on March 23, 2008 by iwilder

Full story from Democrat and Chronical here. Security problems made evident by snooping case Passport breaches show real weakness in data protection. Perhaps the most troubling aspect of the snooping by U.S. State Department workers into the passport files of the three presidential candidates is that the information they got may already be running laps […]

Thoughts on Eliot Spitzer and the Governorship

Posted on March 11, 2008 by iwilder

[Click here for information on the Green Party of New York State’s Governor candidate Malachy McCourt] My co-editor didn’t think we needed to write anything about the Eliot Spitzer situation, because everyone knows about it and there was nothing interesting to say. Though, I think that we are a political blog, and a political blog […]

Video: Kucinich says the truth – that it’s all a lie

Posted on January 25, 2008 by iwilder

[and, then, he is forced to retract his statement. Is this why he can’t run for President? Or, did knowing he was going to withdraw make him feel empowered (at first) to tell the truth?] Mini-rush-transcript (had to listen several times and type fast) Dennis Kucinich is recognized for 1 minute. He says: A Center for […]

Tobacco Shills Belly Up to Big Oil Trough to Deny Global Warming

Posted on December 16, 2007 by iwilder

My eye was caught by this story: A small group of US experts stubbornly insist that, contrary to what the vast majority of their colleagues believe, humans may not be responsible for the warming of the planet Earth. My first question is what makes them experts? The story continues: “The observed pattern of warming, comparing […]
