It must be very uncomfortable in Congress right now. Imagine that just a few months ago some Representatives and Senators either voted against relief for Hurricane Sandy or insisted on offset cuts for disaster relief. Now in the wake of Oklahoma, where…

In the past week Dick Cheney said that the tragedy in Benghazi is one of the worst incidents he has seen.

Today the U.S. House of Representatives voted for the 37th time to repeal “Obamacare”. 37 times in 39 months.
This time it was so 70 new representatives would have the chance to show their constituents that they were against it.
So I did a little math…

A month ago we saw a situation play out in Boston that ended in Watertown Mass with the successful apprehension of one of the bombers. All in all a good day for the citizens of the City of Boston and the US.
Living near Boston, I was relieved when he was…

It has been one week since the bomb attack at the Boston Marathon and in the short 7 days the suspects have either been killed or captured.
The decision that the living suspect living will be tried as a citizen, allowing him the same constitutional rights…

Today, as most of us all know by now, 2 bombs were detonated at the finish line at the Boston Marathon.
I think it is incumbent on the reader to understand a few things about this before we go further. The Boston Marathon is one of the largest outdoor…

In the world of electronic media, it is easy to forget that we are actually talking to a friend or acquaintance. The words you type have significance and they reach out and touch people.
People drink and say things that they would never say in person and…

On its face the conflict between Israel and Gaza appears straight forward. Israel has the right and obligation to its citizens to protect them from attacks from Hamas and other militants. That is on its face, however, the underpinnings are more often than…

I have waited until the election was over and the pundits were basically done with the post election analysis to pen another post. Much to my surprise the punditry goes on and on and on. I occasionally wonder if we need to begin riding horses again so the…

It is in the news; apparently it is rampant… tainting our elections, changing outcomes and destroying the electoral process. Hordes of people roaming the country: voting multiple times, pretending they are someone else, just to change the results of an…

As I said, I am writing this sitting in a place that feels safe to me. I’ve been to Occupy DC several times. People were mostly friendly and it was empowering to be there. But I’ve only gone during broad daylight. I don’t feel comfortable with the idea of spending the night or even staying for evening assemblies that would mean walking back to the subway by myself on darkened, mostly empty downtown streets. For weeks now, a voice in my head has been screaming, “WIMP!”. But as I talk with other women, I realize that I am far from alone and that there is good reason for concern. We have heard from women across the globe who have reported feeling intimidated and uneasy, who have experienced harassment. There have been multiple reports of groping, other forms of sexual assault and harassment and at least four reports of rape.
