Paul Jenkins from Huffington Post

When a 19 year-old white supremacist recently gained a seat on the Palm Beach County Republican Executive Committee, the election created such an outcry that embarrassed local politicians used a technicality to block his seating. The entire process was buffoonish, although the views of the spawn of a grand wizard of the KKK and his supporters were not. Events such as this, or the stunning success of David Duke in Louisiana in 1990, occur every few years within the GOP, a reminder of the party's racist faction. Even more standard for Republicans, especially in the year that saw Barack Obama's election, are the off-key comments about uppitiness, Senators whistling Dixie, and, most recently, a funny little party-endorsed mailer called "Barack the Magic Negro."

All of this stupidity, and hatred, is a symptom of the larger problem for the Republican Party: it is utterly unrepresentative of America in the 21st century. Its Congressional representation is nearly uniformly white, and overwhelmingly male. So much so, in fact, that there is not one single African-American GOP member of Congress (out of 219 or 220); nor, for that matter, are there any black GOP Governors (out of 22). There are just four Republican Latinos in Congress, all Florida Cuban-Americans; one of them, Senator Mel Martinez, has announced his retirement. He is the only non-white or Hispanic GOP Senator.

The current Republican party is so absurdly out of touch demographically (and, of course, politically) that the election of just one Asian-American Congressman in a fluke special election in New Orleans had the leadership gushing for days that the "future is Cao," a creepy play on the name of the new member of Congress. Left unsaid was that Ahn Cao's success came after the Democratic incumbent's corruption-related problems became too much for even this overwhelmingly Democratic district, and that the Republican is unlikely to survive electorally in a 2010 general election. Also left unsaid by the happily bewildered GOP leadership was the complete lack of support given to Cao by the national and state Republican parties. Cao, in fact, was one of the numerous sacrificial candidates, often women or people of color, whom the Republican party puts up in races that are impossible to win. It just happens that in this case the Asian guy won, and so "the future is Cao."

Of course, we know this is not the case. John McCain lost by a margin of 90% among African-Americans, and 2 to 1 among other ethnic and racial minority groups, and young people. The future hardly belongs to a party who is falling further and further behind among the fastest-growing demographic groups, and among those who will be voting for decades to come. Republicans' problems go well beyond their dreadful record of the past decade and their wrong-footed policies, although neither helps. As it shrinks, the GOP is becoming ever-whiter, more male, more Southern, more Christian-centric, and increasingly unable to appeal to voters, or potential candidates who do not fit its narrow mold. Besides the Cao novelty, the party's hopes seem to be resting on Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and on Sarah Palin, which says a lot about the GOP's difficulty in recruiting diverse talent, partly because of the party's stringent litmus tests on social issues. Toeing the line, Jindal and Palin are both religious extremists, one of whom veils his social views under the guise of business-like competence, the other behind her down-home manner. Both achieved a measure of success by being elected Governor, but neither is exactly presidential material: there is little more to say about Palin's inarticulate ignorance, but as for Jindal, his first order of the day in Louisiana was to go on an oil-money-fueled spending binge that has come back to haunt him after just a few months. So much for McKinsey-an efficiency and competence.

Even non-white members of George W. Bush's cabinet appear to have turned on the party: people like Colin Powell, who heartily endorsed Obama, or Condoleezza Rice, who seemed at her very happiest the day after Obama's victory. The last African-American GOP member of Congress, J.C. Watts, who retired in 2002, is equally as disillusioned, not to say anything of potential candidates such as Charles Barkley, a one-time Republican with aspirations to Alabama's governorship, who says the Republicans "lost their mind." And so the GOP trots out the same sad losers, Michael Steele of Maryland, and Ken Blackwell of Ohio, who have achieved little more than secondary elected office in their respective states, both losing in landslides when they sought a bigger job.

Conservatives have for years hidden behind a disdain for quotas, political correctness and diversity gone wild to explain away the everlasting supremacy of white men in the Republican Party. The subtext, of course, is that selection, and election, is based on competence, not gender, race or ethnicity. And that the most competent simply happen to be white men. Always. Unless they are Sarah Palin or Clarence Thomas, whose nomination would have been a joke were its consequences not so long-lasting (his latest achievement, besides a bitter, angry, hate-filled book was to refer to his colleagues at the Supreme Court a frivolous case about Obama's citizenship.)

Let's be thankful for one thing about Bush's presidency: the white male leadership of the Republican Party showed the world once and for all that its cronyism, corruption and discrimination completely outweighed any shred of competence. And that it can no longer count on white votes to carry its divisive, prejudiced agenda, both because there are proportionately fewer white voters, and because outside of the Deep South and Appalachia, white voters are increasingly disgusted by the Republican Party. GOP leaders, not all stupid, have seen this coming for some time now, as one predominantly white suburb after another has fallen to the Democrats. And so for years they have been hanging their hopes on the perceived social conservatism of African-American and, especially, Latino voters. The 2008 elections put the final nail in that coffin, as even with the specter of same-sex marriage, supposedly conservative non-white voters stayed away from the GOP in numbers larger than ever before despite the stock Republican gay-baiting. For those of them who did want to take a stand, in California, Florida and Arizona, for instance, they voted against same-sex marriage rights and for Democrats. This presents a challenge for progressive Democrats, certainly, but one that pales in comparison to what the fast-shrinking GOP faces. Another fiasco by Republicans this year was their latest attempt at swaying Jewish voters away from the Democratic party, especially in Florida, this time with accusations that Obama, among others, is weak on Israel, and hints that he was a Muslim. The result: just 1 in 5 Jewish voters picked McCain. Perhaps the fact that there are only three Republican Jews in Congress (versus 42 Democrats) should have been a hint that there was far more work to do there than simply brandishing the specter of Islam in the White House. And that the party's rush to out-Christian itself is probably unlikely to appeal to people who are, well, not Christian, including Jews, Muslims, and agnostics, to name a few.

To compound the problem, the Republican Party is threatened by a bubbling religious war pitting younger evangelicals and Catholics against their more socially stringent elders. If the GOP cannot hold on to the most religious of Americans because they are more concerned with social equality than with, say, sexuality, it is doomed. Young people in general turned on the Republican Party's candidate with repulsion this year, and he hardly represents the party's most socially conservative wing. McCain received just 32% of the vote among 18-29 year-olds. Considering that about one in two young people consider religion "very important," that leaves a big chunk of very religious young people who did not vote for the Republican candidate. And if they don't, who will?

It was all supposed to end very differently: the Republican Party's Southern strategy, which seemed to many so cynically brilliant as recently as the turn of this century, has backfired so badly that even parts of the South, such as Virginia and North Carolina, are now dominated by Democrats, and not the old-school segregation-era Democrats. These new Southern Democrats come in all colors and both genders and they range from the most socially progressive to others who would have felt quite at home in the more moderate Republican party of old. The failure of the GOP's Southern strategy is also in evidence in one often overlooked respect: the election of candidates by electorates of a different race or ethnicity. Obama is, of course, the most extremely visible example of this phenomenon, but there are others, including in the South. In Georgia, for instance, the 2nd district's Representative, Sanford Bishop, who is African-American, has been comfortably reelected several times despite redistricting that has given his constituency a slender white majority. The same goes for Mel Watt, one of the most progressive members of Congress, an African-American elected in a narrowly white majority district in North Carolina. Conversely, the Memphis area Congressman is white and represents a district that is nearly two-thirds black. In total, there are over two-dozen seats nationally that are represented by members who are in a racial or ethnic minority in their own constituency; half of these are African-Americans, many of them in the Midwest (Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Kansas City) and in California. This represents a sea change from just a decade ago, when it was considered far-fetched to believe that a black candidate could be elected from a district that was anything less than 60% African-American.

The 1992 redistricting piled up non-white voters into congressional districts dubbed "minority-majority," to increase non-white representation in Congress. Republicans eagerly embraced the new take on voting rights, as they felt it would make dozens of white-majority districts less competitive for Democrats. There was also much hand-wringing among Democrats for the same reason, and some even argued that there was no point in increasing non-white representation in Congress if it meant that the party would never again regain power. Obviously, things have turned out quite differently for the Democrats, whose Congressional majority is now as strong as it has been in decades, thanks in part to its robust diversity, and to a growing indifference to race and ethnicity.

It is no coincidence that at the same time, the GOP has shriveled into a more uniform party than at most times since the 1960s. Like a restricted country club that would rather die than change, the Republican Party is marginalizing itself for the sake of the white men who run it. "Barack The Magic Negro" and Palm Beach aryanists are just the more bizarre manifestations of a party that has wallowed for so long in the privileges of its white male supremacy that it does not even realize that everyone has left the plantation, and they are not coming back.

A Happy New Day....

When one is a political junkie with opinions, it is easy to get overloaded to the point you are sure your head will explode. That said, it is also sometimes difficult to be a Maple Leafs fan. Toronto fan fav Curtis Joseph, on his second stint in the blue and white earned his 450th career victory.

At age 41, a rocky start to the year, and likely his last season, the classy veteran had this to say-

"This is my dream job and sometimes you don't realize it until you're gone,I've got some ruby red slippers."

Congrats Cujo!


Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!

Off the Record with World Party

Zbigniew Brzezinski on the Gaza conflict, schools Joe Scarborough

The endless conflict between Hamas, Palestinians, and Israel leaves room for so much blame to go around, and, yes, the United States has a hand in this. From it's conception in 1948, the division of two states has struggled. The United Nations, the U.S., and England among others have long tried to broker a peace treaty and/or a cease fire to no avail. While both sides cannot accept all of the blame, the world hopes that somehow rational minds will someday prevail. Condi Rice, to her credit has devoted endless trips to the Middle East intending to extend the cease fire which has expired.

As President-Elect Obama watches closely, and plans his plan for brokering a deal. Both sides should hope that he models his effort after that of Presidents Carter and Clinton. Both which saw some success. Ideally, he will demand that Hamas, whom was Democratically elected start behaving like it. Some factions have already adhered, but radical groups that are tolerated, have to be dismantled.

This morning's Morning Joe on MSNBC, featured Joe Scarborough ranting on the glory of Dick Cheney with Mike Barnicle. Following that, he got a lesson on the conflict from his co-host's father Zbigniew Brzezinski, former Carter National Security Advisor.

Desperate Measures

Desperate times, generally call for desperate measures, but is America prepared for it? The economic chaos that far too many Americans find themselves in, is leading to practices the law does not look fondly upon. Robbery, drug dealing, and prostitution has been quick cash for years in America. However, are we headed down a fatal path? I was told a story this evening about a man in Westland,Mi. who was being pursued by authorities for armed robbery of a retail outlet. Fleeing from authorities, the suspect entered a local neighborhood. In his pursuit of safety, he went into an unlocked garage. Officers combed the streets and spoke with homeowners, and one eventually suggested they look in her garage. The astonishing part of this story, is that while we generally have respect for officers, the police sent the woman in the garage first, where she and the man stood eye to eye. This woman is my friend and one of my bosses, and what she expressed to me after telling the story is what is hopeful for all of us. Continuing the story, she mentioned how too many people are driven to this, they "snap" and we have to recognize that. Good on you Becky.

These stories are not far fetched in Metro Detroit, it never ends in a city that has been begging for a bailout for decades. Gamblers are angry that the ATF raided a local bar for gambling, friends and family are grieving the death a 27 year old prescription drug dealer who U.S. Marshalls shot 18 times after he barricaded himself in his home for 10 hours, the rash of auto theft in the area. I mention these stories, well knowing there are thousands of these around the country, but these are in my immediate area. Look at where we are America? Unemployment claims are at a 26 year high, and people are scared. This does not justify the actions of criminals, but it does make one wonder whether or not the wounds that ail America are self inflicted? Bill Maher was spot on when he stated that we look a "little silly waving the big foam #1 finger chanting USA, when we rank 67th in this, 42nd in that and on and on".

I don't have any answers, I only have questions. With health care providing looking more like thieves than caretakers, Wall St. looting the federal reserve, the Big 3 in turmoil, trade agreements making the working class obsolete, and federal funds to essential social benefits being cut quicker than the melting ice caps is it any wonder we are here? With a newly elected Congress and President-Elect we see a glimpse of rescue, but the roads we must travel in the next handful of years are full of twists and turns that some won't survive. While this post of cynicism lacks any self deprecating humor I usually indulge in, I hope it serves as a reminder that while we all were walking on sunshine after Barack Obama became the 44th President, the work ahead is going to require diligence and compassion.

HappyMerryChristmasKwanzakuh


To all my friends, I wish a safe and Happy Holiday! So, do not fret, 2008 is almost over. Enjoy the company of friends and family this season. While so many of us worked so hard over the year, looking for change (some of us literally), we have a new year ahead of us. The real work begins, with first wishing everyone a Merry Christmas or whichever you choose to call it nowadays. Then the vigilant work of the New Year.
Thank you all for the support, friendships, and effort.

What happened to Religion...or was it always this way?

President-Elect Obama's Pastor woes continue to be a problem. Inviting Rev. Rick Warren to give the invocation on Inauguration day has been a slap in the face of gays and lesbians and those who advocate for the rights they deserve as much as you and I. While Rev. Warren has earned his success with a tone in which he defined "the only difference between James Dobson and myself is tone". Really Rick? Admitting that comparison is not only an insult, but you should feel ashamed.

Obama's campaign, with pride and good intention spoke of being all inclusive if elected, and is holding true to that promise. My question is though, at what cost Barack? The gays and lesbians that volunteered for you are now standing up for the rights that were granted to them by the courts. Yet, Rick Warren was one who stated that the best he could do while supporting the removal of these rights was supply protesters with water and donuts. Extremists from any religion is a bad thing, and the moment we recognize that, the better off we become. Rick Warren states we are all going to heaven, if that is the case shouldn't we make it easier for those living here now? Denying someone rights in the name of the Holy Bible is the real abomination. Now that Obama has defended his choice of Warren, committing himself to be all in inclusive while alienating hundreds of people that supported him. I ask, Barack what was wrong with Rev. Welton Gaddy? or Jim Wallis? As a follower of Christ, and not religious at all, I vehemently disagree with this choice, do not see it as "Change" we can believe in.

Joel Mchale and Keith Olbermann talk shoes

The last few days has been full of shoe talk, more so than some women I know. However, as funny as this has been, what the Iraqi reporter is facing as a result is quite harsh. Muntazer al-Zaidi is in court today, and is looking at anywhere from 5 to 15 years for his actions. Some analysts have suggested a few different scenarios, A.) Maliki is facing re-election, and given the reporters new found popularity, and the protests in the streets, this will pass. B.) The U.S. Government could intervene and extradite al-Zaidi to the states. C.) The charges will be dropped. Afterall, Maliki is not Saddam.

The severity of the charges are an insult, almost as insulting as the shoe throwing itself. The Arab culture considers "having ones shoe thrown at you a great insult". It would be appropriate, at this point for our President to intervene. George Bush was not harmed, had a chance to duck a journalist, once again, and the incident provided endless humor for the world. As much disdain as I have for Bush, I do not wish him harm, but the charges brought against al-Zaidi, if convicted would be another crime against humanity.

Chris Matthews and David Corn take down Fmr. Asst. Sec. of State

Dick Cheney's remarks over the run up to the war in Iraq are stirring yet another debate. From it's onset, millions of us around the world new the evidence presented to the American people was a God damn lie. Unfortunately, many did not. I found myself in many heated debates with friends and family over the issue, even lost a friend as a result of one those debates. In 2003, when much of the media grabbed it pom-pons, including Chris Matthews, the print media, bloggers, and progressive talk show hosts recognized the cost of lives and money far before it transpired. The outgoing GOP elites like Dick Cheney, and Former Asst. Sec of State Frank Gaffney are continuing their position of beliefs that the right thing was done. I am pleased to post this video, cause I am usually a fan of Tweety, who now in a corporate world sees an opening to no longer accept this crap from right-wing tools like this .

Rest in Peace Bettie


Pin-up heartthrob of the 1950's Bettie Page has died. Many iconic personalities defined American culture, John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Babe Ruth, Frank Sinatra or Elvis, Bettie Page's influence still exists in large within eccentric circles. As a longtime fan of hers, I still find it sad that in the midst of her heyday, she quit. Her modeling intrigued the country, and angered many as well. Her photos, while beautiful, were often risque. Photographers Irving Klaw and Bunny Yeager had two separate visions for the star to be. The former saw a model willing to pose with props such as whips and leather, the latter saw the beauty. Bettie resurfaced in the 1990's, but only to give occasional interviews, and would not allow any photos to be taken. At age 85, Bettie Page's years came to an end after suffering a heart attack in Los Angeles, where she never regained consciousness. As I stated, I am a longtime fan, and still have wonderful photos here in my office...Thank you Bettie


On a Lighter Note

With the flurry of horrifying news the past week or two, this is nice. The Bidens got a puppy! Most Americans are wishing the best for our country, but all agree...who would want this job right now? I am confident that Barack Obama and Joe Biden are competent enough to succeed through these troubling times. That being said, I have seen dark days and know the importance of a dog. There is nothing in the world I would trade that comfort for. Biden's wife, Jill, got Joe the post-election gift for Joe on the condition they won...hmm, sounds like a couple kids we have heard about. While the Biden's new family member came from a breeder and not a shelter, it is always nice to see any dog get a forever home. Congrats Joe and Jill!

Michael Moore on the Bridge Loan to the Big 3


Friends,

They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers start building only cars and mass transit that reduce our dependency on oil.

They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers build cars that reduce global warming.

They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers withdraw their many lawsuits against state governments in their attempts to not comply with our environmental laws.

They could have given the loan on the condition that the management team which drove these once-great manufacturers into the ground resign and be replaced with a team who understands the transportation needs of the 21st century.

Yes, they could have given the loan for any of these reasons because, in the end, to lose our manufacturing infrastructure and throw 3 million people out of work would be a catastrophe.

But instead, the Senate said, we'll give you the loan only if the factory workers take a $20 an hour cut in wages, pension and health care. That's right. After giving billions to Wall Street hucksters and criminal investment bankers -- billions with no strings attached and, as we have since learned, no oversight whatsoever -- the Senate decided it is more important to break a union, more important to throw middle class wage earners into the ranks of the working poor than to prevent the total collapse of industrial America.

We have a little more than a month to go of this madness. As I sit here in Michigan today, tens of thousands of hard working, honest, decent Americans do not believe they can make it to January 20th. The malaise here is astounding. Why must they suffer because of the mistakes of every CEO from Roger Smith to Rick Wagoner? Make management and the boards of directors and the shareholders pay for this.

Of course that is heresy to the 31 Republicans who decided to blame the poor, miserable autoworkers for this mess. And our wonderful media complied with their spin on the morning news shows: "UAW Refuses to Give Concessions Killing Auto Bailout Bill." In fact the UAW has given concession after concession, reduced their benefits, agreed to get rid of the Jobs Bank and agreed to make it harder for their retirees to live from week to week. Yes! That's what we need to do! It's the Jobs Bank and the old people who have led the nation to economic ruin!

But even doing all that wasn't enough to satisfy the bastard Republicans. These Senate vampires wanted blood. Blue collar blood. You see, they weren't opposed to the bailout because they believed in the free market or capitalism. No, they were opposed to the bailout because they're opposed to workers making a decent wage. In their rage, they were driven to destroy the backbone of this country, not because the UAW hadn't given back enough, but because the UAW hadn't given up.

It appears that the sitting President has been looking for a way to end his reign by one magnanimous act, just like a warlord on his feast day. He will put his finger in the dyke, and the fragile mess of an auto industry will eke through the next few months.

That will give the Senate enough time to demand that the bankers and investment sharks who've already swiped nearly half of the $700 billion gift a chance to make the offer of cutting their pay.

Fat chance.

Yours,
Michael Moore

John Stewart and Mike Huckabee debate gay marriage

As always, John Stewart is impressive, and as usual Mike Huckabee sounds like a fool on this topic. I actually have a small affection for Huckabee on certain issues, but he loses me on this argument over and over. I have long said, as a straight man, I have never seen a gay couple and said "that's the lifestyle I want, women...not so much" Kudos to John Stewart on this clip.

William Ayers on Hardball

In the last 6 months the country heard quite a bit about William Ayers and his actions against the Vietnam War. He is now taking the time to give interviews. Here he is on Hardball with Chris Matthews.

Life and Times of Bill Janovitz

Governor Rod Blagovjech's Chirstmas Story

This Holiday Season good spirits and and cheer are running wild. However, not for Governor Blagojevich of Illinois who was a arrested on Tuesday morning, Dec. 9th. on charges of corruption. While Barack Obama working diligently awaiting his innaugeration, his Senate seat remains with only a handful of suitors and a Governor accepting gifts and bribes before he names the replacement.

"I've got this thing and it's (expletive) golden," and I'm just not giving it up for (expletive) nothing. I'm not gonna do it." stated the disgraced Governor.

It is being reported there are five potential candidates with all but one being named in the media. The speculation is that the 5th candidate has already given $500,000 in hopes of landing the seat. The issue here is criminal behavior, though not mentioned is his complete disdain for the State's Constitution and the people of Illinois. Abusing his power as Governor to name a replacement to the vacant Senate seat for monies, and lucretive positions for himself and wife is thuggery at it's finest. While seeking numerous positions, such as head of Department of Health and Human Services, to be an Ambassador, or hoping for a cabinet position in the White House. I am sure he was not counting on Federal authorities wiretapping his both of his offices. If you wish to commit these crimes, be smart enough to not use your own phone when discussing it, and don't tie the new President-Elect to your idiocy.

It now appears that the disgraced Governor still possesses the power to name someone to the vacant according to the state law. Senator Dick Durbin is calling for a special election to now fill the seat, which I agree with. In Senator Durbin's words "No appointment by this governor, under these circumstances, could produce a credible replacement,"

Blagojevich has been investigated on corruption charges for some time now, and as of the October 31st the wiretapping began. I mention this because the right-wing is going wild with the accusations that President-Elect Obama has some deep ties to Blagojevich . Barack Obama stated Tuesday afternoon that he and the Governor had no contact with each other regarding the vacant seat. This may or may not be true, and if they did and Obama was dishonest, then that conversation would be on tape.

As "this is an ongoing investigation" we will have plenty to comment on at least until the years end. Check back for updates.

The War on Christmas...Really?

Like the Super Bowl, it arrives once a year...yes folks, it is time for the War on Christmas brought to you from Fox News and Bill O'Reilly. That is covered on a daily basis on their programs is evident that covering news is not what Fox is about. While it is fact that most people in this country celebrate the Christmas Holiday with Joy and Cheer, some do not, and prefer to either ignore it or enjoy the Spirit Christmas brings.

Whether you say "Merry Christmas", "Happy Holidays", or "HappyMerryHanukkahChristmasKwanza" is a non-issue. The latest uproar is the actions of Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire and State officials granting the Freedom From Religion Foundation the right to place a "Solstice" sign alongside two other holiday displays.

While I celebrate like most, I recognize that there are many who do not. I also feel it is detrimental to our diverse communities to stir up divisive topics like this on a daily basis, on a 24 hour news channel. Oddly, how we celebrate our Holiday Season is in general a time to "give" , spend time with "family and friends", and feel a little better during times of disarray. A friend of mine, an atheist, has made time to purchase cell phones for our Troops, another, like myself is disgusted with Christmas music, and she is a former Sunday School Teacher, others are shopping like fools, and some are simply doing nothing...hmmm that sounds like all out war, doesn't it?

Allowing everyone a place at the table is a more apt interpretation of Jesus' teachings than shoving our beliefs in the faces of fellow citizens no matter what their faith may be. The Freedom from Religion Foundation provides an outlook that allows not just atheists, but freethinkers to share thoughts, and a commitment to diversity. As someone who sees the beauty of Churches, I also recognize the ugly divisiveness behind it's doors, I prefer to be a Follower of Christ. I also feel most would agree with my assessment that is "Religion" that has gotten much of the world knee deep in s*** for centuries. What is clear when Fox, other news networks, retailers, bloggers, and water cooler talks give this attention, it only divides us. Yes, I see the contradiction here since I am posting this. Many of us can clearly see that in America, whenever we decide to declare "War on..." anything it is generally destined to fail, ie; "War on Drugs".

What we can do this Holiday Season is celebrate America's colorful and accepting nature that has made us proud. Buy an atheist a dashboard Jesus, buy a Jewish friend a Christmas tree ornament, buy your white friends a Kwanza cards, have a sense of humor and simply be good this season. And for the love of God....shut off Fox News.

This is a few years old, but to the point. HappyMerryChistmasHanukkahKwanza Sam Seder!
