EXCERPT: The California State Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriages deserve the same benefits as heterosexual couples. It's cool with me, is it with you?
The court, which consists mainly of republican appointees, voted 4-3 in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage. The majority opinion was written Chief Justice Ronald George. He wrote, "The California Constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic civil right to all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual,...

EXCERPT: The next President of the Unties States has the potential to reshape the future of American prosperity by developing a comprehensive, innovative, green energy policy. President Bush’s failed strategy to secure unlimited access to oil in the Middle East has led 80 percent of Americans to believe the country is on the wrong track. John McCain’s energy policy is non-existent. Barack Obama’s energy policy takes a cue from what people in Colorado already know....

EXCERPT: If John McCain were just a normal retired Navy veteran he wouldn’t be driving “The Straight Talk Express” around the country, he’d instead be the unassailable captain of the “Sweet Talk Express,” which would be on a never-ending tour of America’s hottest retirement beaches.
If the "J-Macster" hadn't hit the jackpot by marrying an heiress he’d probably be sitting at the end of a tiki hut in Miami right now, adorning a...

EXCERPT: The Rich have plundered the Poor once again. On the surface, the current international food crisis may not seem to be aided by the US, the world's leader in international humanitarian aid, in the conventional ways you think it is. International pandemonium isn't the result of a republican or democratic administration either, it's a direct result of American greed. The attitude "We're the best, we deserve the most," is understandable, but it's not...

EXCERPT: Apparently Arizonans are more worried about kicking the cooks, housemaids and construction workers out of their state - that presumably cost the real citizens money - to worry about real money-sucking issues like wasteful energy expenses.
The political machinations of divisiveness and prejudice is operating more efficiently in AZ than the burrito line at Taco Bell. Churning out one cheap product for mass consumption day after day.
The Senate recently passed an amendment called the...

EXCERPT: Obama's got a shot to win Pennsylvania tomorrow. He's still trailing in the polls, by as few as 4 points in some and by as many as 10 in others, but the polls were wrong when Barack won Iowa and they were wrong when Hillary won New Hampshire. It may only be a shot in the dark, but that might be enough.
An Obama victory in Pennsylvania, whose demographics clearly favor HRC, would represent the knockout punch for the Democratic Primary. Even if HRC takes the state by single...

EXCERPT: Mass protests are scheduled to take place in the Mile High City during the Democratic National Convention. No surprise there. The War in Iraq has fueled a lot of passion amongst people in this great country. The transparent war crimes the Bush / Cheney / Rummy / Ashcroft regime has committed and the Democratic Congress' failure to make any substantial progress in bringing the troops home from Iraq will be the main siren songs for protest groups. Other issue-related groups have...

EXCERPT: What kind of foreign relations policy do we have when 83-year-old former President Jimmy Carter is our only negotiator for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict? The guy may be the world's first rouge peace negotiator, he even claims he's "not a negotiator." Condi Rice isn't publicly supporting his efforts, neither is the Israeli government and Hamas wouldn't let him into Gaza. He's doing it all on the sly.
Remember when this conflict threatened the...

EXCERPT: Barack Obama's just too honest to be a modern politician. Most people love him for it. Others buy into the media's bias characterization of a "presidential persona" and criticize him mercilessly for it.
The remarks he made about small town, downtrodden middle America "clinging to religion, guns and antipathy towards others" - in a closed meeting he believed was off the record - was condescending and did sound a little elitist. It was not good politics. It...

EXCERPT: For the first time ever all four #1 seeds made it to the Final Four. For the first time ever the sandbaggers, like ESPN's Jay Bilas, got it right! I never thought the day would come where the Final Four was made of All Chalk and it wouldn't of happened if Stephen Curry, or his PG, dropped 1 more long-range-bomb on Kansas.
I'm still in the running to win my office pool with UCLA to beat UNC in the finals. I'm pretty confident it can happen for the same reasons I...
