Moral Mondays. I like this idea. From the Guardian: We have been pleased by the number of people showing up at the statehouse in Raleigh, North Carolina every Monday, sacrificing their freedom and their bodies to protest the regressive agenda of the extreme right.

Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son. He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

First of all, I would encourage you not to talk to anybody who seems overly angry about the healthcare law. They are clearly misinformed. Secondly, I would remind…

Some times I think that it is critically important to take inventory, to take stock of how you doing in relationship to everyone else. How’s your health? Did you wake up this morning? Were you save through the night? How’s your family? Do you have a loving family – husband, wife, children, parents? Are they healthy? Do you have a job? Sure,…

  This article was written by my good friend, best selling author, Kurt Eichenwald. It worth sitting down and taking the time to read this one. From Vanity Fair: Last week, I wrote a lengthy piece to refute the Republican lies about Obamacare. This week, I am going to write about some of the truths. Let me start by acknowledging: Obamacare is not perfect. Neither…
