Dear Friend, Through the stories of these every day Americans it is clear that we need to take the "For Sale" sign off the Capitol Lawn. These interviews with Jim Kalbach, a farmer, Dominica Cibilich, an oyster fisherwoman and Chuck Nelson, a coal miner, show how hard-working people often pay a life-changing price when corporate […]

It was no surprise to us that Fox News left its viewers largely in the dark about the fact that its parent company, News Corp., donated an unprecedented $1 million contribution to the Republican Governors Association, a campaign operation that aims to elect Republican governors and defeat Democratic candidates. We at Media Matters for America […]

One of my cycling buddies just sent me this. After laughing for ten minutes I simply had to blog it. So lets get along. And do not forget, before you vote in November get my book “As I See It: Class Warfare The Only Resort To Right Wing Doom”.   NEXT SEASON ON DANCING WITH […]

The timidity of Democrats never ceases to amaze me. Actually, it isn’t timidity at all. It is simply a disregard that all politicians have for the middleclass. It is our fault that we allow them to play these games. While the middleclass does not have the wealth of the super-rich, one vote from the rich […]

Disgraceful. The financial sector has pilfered middleclass America three times in the last several years. They created constructs to inflate the economy robbing us blind on the way up. When their legally corrupt financial instruments failed, they forced us to bail them out. After bailing them out they refuse to put these monies to work […]

While I give the president kudos for calling out the Republicans on passing the tax cuts for small businesses I think he is way behind the curve in being interventionist in the economy. The titans of capitalism have failed America and it is now time that we use Keynesian economic principles to stabilize this economy. […]

This is how an interview of a president is conducted. No softballs are running from issues; just matter of fact. Whether you agree with the president or not you ask the questions and let him answer. You follow up if you feel he skated the question. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news […]

  Nothing is more important to Republican politicians these days than jobs and the deficit—at least according to Republican politicians. As House Minority Leader John Boehner put it in a "major economic address" on Tuesday, President Obama is "doing everything possible to prevent jobs from being created" while refusing to do anything at all "about […]

To the enlightened Glenn Beck is a caricature, someone so dumb and intellectually lacking that we do not take him seriously. Looking at the video a second time got me a bit worried. After-all, Americans tend to be gullible and if this guy gets traction outside his echo chamber he could become a force. We […]

Lets have right size government with competence. The way to do that is to get intelligent policy wonks instead of demagogues with good sounding sound bites that accomplish nothing. New video released by the Obama administration contradicts Governor Christie’s account of why New Jersey failed to receive a $400 million dollar educational grant in the […]
