Why Geraldo and the 1% don’t need hoodies…

Posted on March 25, 2012 by kwilder

Five Reasons The 99% Wear Hoodies (and Geraldo Rivera and The 1% Don’t) 1. Hoodies cover a person’s head, and thus are an efficient way to stay warm. (I wonder how many mothers are angry at Geraldo Rivera for contradicting years of nagging to “Put your hood up!”?) Rich people do not need to wear […]

LI School in national spotlight: Should students be suspended for “Tebowing”?

Posted on December 16, 2011 by kwilder

What happened? Two students (down from four at first) were suspended from Riverhead High School, because they kneeled in a hallway, in a stunt and/or tribute related to Tim Tebow, who kneels on the football field. Is suspension appropriate?

Obama Speaking on Economy & Deaths Now

Posted on August 8, 2011 by iwilder

IW:   Just got a call that Obama is making a speech about the economy (and maybe the 30 Americans who died in Afghanistan.)  He is singing the same song.  He continually refuses to address that our economy is going down the toilet because he has expanded the bad wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to […]

Nader’s Warning to Ratings Agencies

Posted on August 5, 2011 by iwilder

Now your lobbyists are pressing members of Congress to weaken further the provisions affecting rating agencies in the Dodd-Frank law in ways that will raise the risk-consequences for the savings and investments of innocent people. See the strong critique of your looming downgrade by arch-conservative columnist Holman W. Jenkins in the January 27, 2011 Wall […]

Kimberly’s thoughts on the Anthony Weiner incident…

Posted on June 17, 2011 by kwilder

While former Congressman Anthony Weiner and the world were deciding if he would stay, be fired, or resign, I did not want to chime in. I felt like I did not have enough information, and that most major party politicians are not worth my reflection, anyway. Also, I did not want to distract from the […]

MLK quote was real enough! Don’t let the haters take the message away…

Posted on May 3, 2011 by kwilder

Somehow, those of us who believe in peace are easily shamed and/or thwarted by the right-wing. Don’t let them take away the energy of Martin Luther King Jr.’s teachings, or our grace in eschewing hatred, just by saying that we got a quote wrong. Martin Luther King, Jr. did say:

Serially Sane Welcomes Your Posts

Posted on April 13, 2011 by iwilder

Change is exciting, scary, depressing, exhilarating, curious, and returns us, no matter how old, to feelings of vulnerability. This unsettled feeling elicits in me a sense of losing my bearings, wondering how my perceptions of the world […]

My LI Pulse Green Energy Rant: Director’s Cut

Posted on April 11, 2011 by iwilder

IW: My article: starts: Over 30 years ago, President Carter put solar panels on the White House. But don’t go looking for them—President Reagan took them down. Bush 1 and Clinton kept them down. Bush 2 did put three smallish solar collectors on the White House grounds for a maintenance shed and the pool, but […]

Shut down the government (please) PLUS a more technical article…
