Channeling Kennedy

I never thought I would actually hear Peggy Noonan praise John F. Kennedy, but she has an intriguing insight into his presidential approach, in contrast to President Obama's approach of divisive verbal bludgeoning.

A Little Fun, That's All

I felt the need to vent a little after a long year so far of political and social wrangling. Hopefully it will brighten your day with a little humor at the expense of our elected officials, who dearly need and deserve to be laughed at once in a while. Okay, more than once in a while...
Here is the beginning of my mini humorous dictionary of political terminology. Enjoy.


TOLERANCE – respecting someone else's opinion as important unless their opinion is about something important

RACISM – disagreeing with someone of a minority race

FAIRNESS – sticking it to “the man”

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA – any news agency that makes conservative politicians look stupid, using either real or imagined evidence

THE 99% - anyone not making enough money to buy a Ferrari

FOREIGN POLICY – revealing comments muttered over an open microphone

BUDGET – paper with a lot of numbers on it that everyone argues about and does nothing with

WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT – any item currently topping a politician's agenda

CAMPAIGN – a game in which people pay money for the chance to call each other names

This is a brilliant piece written by the founder of the Fixed Point Foundation, concerning the problem of atheism in America. I hope you enjoy the read.
