Well DUH…!!  That is the headline for this article on Kaiser Health News.  A certain capacity for understatement in the head line, but the article was actually seemingly unbiased and contained numerous links to other related articles.  I really didn’t expect such an unbiased accounting from a major health corporate entity, but I suppose when [...]

The Supreme court having become the Good Fairy to the corporations has created a real boy, a Pinocchio candidate for congress.  Boy that didn’t take long…  In this case Pinocchio’s real name is Murray Hill Inc.  Pinocchio has launched his campaign with a website, a FaceBook page, and a YouTube video. Campaign Manager William Klein [...]

During the past couple of years, I have been extremely active writing, not only on this site which I realize has been sporadic, but in other venues as well.  After fighting windmills over the past months and being Quixotic as hell reality for me has taken over.  The reality of which I speak involves the [...]

With the current ruling Supreme Court,  ”free speech” has been given to corporations. These were artificial business entities that had been created back in the early 1800′s. The legal status of this financial legal club had not quite reached the level of equality with a human being in over 100 years of Supreme Court decisons. It is amazing how [...]
