Upheld!

Now that it's passed the constitutional tests, it's time to dismiss the propaganda and understand what Obamacare actually is/does. The law benefits millions of Americans, which is shocking, I know, if your sources of information include Fox Fake News or right-wing radio. In addition to the items on this list, Obamacare also reduces the federal deficit over ten years. That's a bargain!

It's constitutional. End of debate. Now let's please move on and tackle the nation's many other problems instead of joining the Republican Party in vowing to obstruct and repeal every ounce of progress our country makes.

On the Tim Corrimal Show Today

I had a great time discussing current events and issues with Dave and Minna on The Tim Corrimal Show today. Give it a listen. NSFW (not safe for work ... or for narrow minds).

Book Exerpt Published at OpEdNews

An excerpt from Tales of a Real American Liberal was just published at the great progressive news site, OpEdNews. Thanks to publisher Rob Kall for inviting me to submit the article.

Here's a chance to read a selection from the book for free--which will, of course, entice you to buy multiple copies to read and give to friends. (That's the theory, anyway.)

Scott Brown Brags About his Fantasy Life

Temporary Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown claims to have, "secret meetings with kings and queens and prime ministers." Oh, he's such an embarrassment to our great state. I can't wait until November to vote for Elizabeth Warren. Then Mr. Brown can have his imaginary tea parties with royalty whenever he wants to, unburdened by the realities of being in the Senate.

Hot!

As my car thermometer testifies, we hit 100 degrees here in New England on the first day of summer. That's almost hot enough to make Fox News admit that global warming isn't some kind of crazy communist hoax meant to make us all worship trees, glaciers, and polar bears, or some such thing. Almost.
