Re: “The Enthusiasm of Romney Voters”
How about: Comedians will be able to lampoon their president again! There just isn't much amusing about Prez Obama.
Re: “The Sensible Perspective”
If JFK had signed NDAA the spooks wouldn't have had to kill all those witnesses because what went down in Dallas 11-22-63 would have been legal.

Haha Don't google me please!
Re: “State of the Primary”
I had a good laugh with this one! Newt does certainly come across as a smooth reptilian sort - reminding me of the snake in the Garden of Eden slyly and deceptively offering dangerous fruit to Eve while lulling her mind with his silver tongue. Although, Tom, you might want to recast Mr. Peanut in the role of Mitt "Nutball" Romney.
The current crop of Presidential Candidates (including the current occupant of the office) all come across as inhuman and/or robotic. The exception is the grownup of the crowd, Ron Paul, who offers an adult understanding and adult prescription for the ills of the body politic. Of course he's unelectable, as all he offers is peace and freedom. The other candidates offer peace, freedom, and their secret sauce - some claim to be Robin Hood, others attract with shiny, yet deadly toys, or doctors for all. Problem is, that to get the secret sauce you need to give up either peace or freedom to these loathsome creatures, and I for one don't want to go down that road.
Hey Tom, if you use any of my ideas, I want royalties!
Re: “State of the Primary”
All occupiers and citizens are invited to "Occupy the 2012 Election: Let's Govern", a public forum at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland, on Saturday, Feb. 18, 10:30-12 Noon. The forum will have speakers presenting scenarios for governing by electing Justice or other party candidates in 2012. Rocky Anderson, Justice Party Candidate for President will speak, along with greens, peace and freedom, and groups from the community-- occupy, labor, immigrants, students, seniors, environment, and peace and justice groups-- who want the election to further their goals of economic, environmental and social justice. For example, end the wars of illegal occupation, stop drone strikes on innocents, reverse Citizens United, fund green jobs, make tuition affordable, protect services to older people, etc. Music, youth performance, refreshments. Get in touch: Cynthia, Justice Party USA Western States Coordinator, 510-333-6097 cynthiap.justice@gmail.com

Re: “The Myth of Sexual Harassment”
On a serious note:
After decades of laws and policies to curb sexual harassment, it remains prevalent (http://www.freep.com/article/20111109/FEAT…). Why?
Is it possible something is missing?
Is it possible we should consider another way to look at sexual harassment other than through the feminist lens of "male power and control," which often suggests a "lock 'em up and throw away the key" approach, an approach that has clearly failed?
Is it possible that women contribute to the problem without knowing how? (No, it's not by the way they dress.)
I recommend a reading of an in-depth analysis of the sexes' most destructive behavioral difference:
