Shouldn’t Obama Get Congressional Authorization for Syria Strike?

August 30, 2013 By lanugo

Issues of presidential authority for taking military action are complicated and somewhat dependent on the nature of the threat at hand.  Syria is not an imminent threat to American security despite their use of chemical weapons on their own … [Read more...]

Is it good to be popular or right Ms. Warren?

June 9, 2013 By lanugo

Our senior Senator, Elizabeth Warren, has made a major splash with her first piece of legislation, the Bank on Students Loan Fairness Act.  I know when I got her email about it I thought it was novel approach and knocked down two birds with … [Read more...]

What about Springfield?

May 28, 2013 By lanugo

Yes.  What about Springfield? Third largest city in the state.  Fourth largest in New England.  156,000 people.  A place I have gone to a few times for Democratic State Conventions. Can't say I know it really well. But what I do know … [Read more...]

Mr. Markey – ask Gabby what he believes?

May 7, 2013 By lanugo

Dear Ms. Warren, start speaking to everyone

March 6, 2012 By lanugo

As polls show the race between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren tilting in his favor, the first thing we should do is not flip out. It's still early, she's still new and there is plenty of time. Brown really has not been defined yet and I … [Read more...]

Where’s the competition?

January 17, 2012 By lanugo

Is it just me or do others think it lame for Joe K 3 to have a pretty uncontested field for the Dem nod for Barney's seat. He may be great, but I don't know that yet. He will have to prove it and a tough primary would do that. Maybe things … [Read more...]

TN legislated against drag, not against drag for kids who don't have parental consent.

FL legislated against AP African-American history and banned Anne Frank's Diary in public schools, for all not just kids whose parents oppose it.

The Recount @therecount

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) goes off on House GOP proposing a “Parents Bill of Rights”:

“They wanna ban books about Black and brown people ... about LGBTQI+ people. It is sick. It is hateful … You don’t get to tell the rest of us parents what our kids should be allowed to read.”
