I keep telling the readers of this blog to contact the Congress and the Senate to give your them your input on important issues like health care reform, global warming, the environment and a host of others.  I don’t care if you are Democratic, Republican, Independent, Progressive, Liberal or Conservative.  You have a right to [...]

I found this great list with links to all kinds of products that are American made.  You can use it to make sure the products you buy are actually made in America so you can put your hard earned dollars toward building our economy and putting our citizens to work.
In my opinion this should not [...]

Some corporations actually do care, at least a bit, about the world and what is going on outside their office doors.  I have always been under the impression that Xerox was one of those corporations.  Whether this is true of course, is a matter of opinion.  But Xerox seems to be doing something that is [...]

Haiti has suffered a massive and devastating earthquake.  While hardliners like Pat Robertson and Fat Bastard Rush Limbaugh can play political and religious games with others suffering, I for one cannot.
Whether or not you think somebody, somewhere in the past made a deal with Satan to gain their freedom or if you think that helping [...]

Yeah, I did not believe it when I was told about it either.  Sadly, it is true.
I don’t care if you are Republican, Democratic, conservative or liberal, animal cruelty is just beyond the pale…period.  Sadly however,  it seems to continue happening as the following clearly shows.
It seems that an animal groomer in Ross Township, Pennsylvania [...]

I won’t go into any rant on this post.  In this case, I would rather let the obituary speak for me.
From WJAC-TV
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A spokesman said Democratic Rep. John P. Murtha died Monday at 1:18 p.m. at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va.Murtha had been suffering complications from gallbladder surgery. At his bedside [...]

This should be good.  On Tuesday there is to be a bi-partisan meeting between President Obama, Democratic leaders and Republican leaders from both the House and Senate.  The purpose is to talk about health care.
Tuesdays meeting is a prelude to February 25th health care talks.  From CNN (emphasis mine):
President Barack Obama’s bipartisan meeting on health [...]

In the grand old south the right wing conservative wingnut  tebaggers are hocking their wares and political views in opulence and style.  Hats, t-shirts and sterling silver teabags were all there for the right price along with opulent dinners with fine crystal and brown skinned servants.  All you needed was the cash to fork over [...]

We at Lunacanus want to say how happy we are at with the New Orleans Saints and their Superbowl win.
I know there will be a continuation of the never ending party that is the heart of that city.
Good times, good food, good drinks and enjoying what life has to give us is what makes New [...]

We have told our readers before about the racist conservative sheriff in Maricopa County Arizona.  His name is Joe Arpaio and he has gotten by with shredding civil liberties in his jurisdiction for a long, long time.  He is a class A wingnut of the highest order
For quite awhile it seemed as though Arpaio ran [...]

You know there are a lot of codes of honor amongst civilized human beings today.  Some of them have become laws but there are still those that we all know and respect as people.  Little gems like “you don’t kick a man when he is down” and “you always payback a handout” and “you show [...]

I don’t like to think anyone is dumb.  I like to believe that people can learn if they just apply themselves and if they are given the opportunity plus having good teachers.  But in the case of the teabaggers and their conservative Christian hypocrisy, dumb seems to be their mind set of  choice, or…is it [...]

The East Coast of the United States is really getting hammered by snow.  I have read that in places they are measuring the snowfall in feet rather than in inches.  That is a whole lot of the white stuff and can cause many, many problems.
I want to tell all of our readers back East to [...]

Many times polls come out that almost make me cringe or despair for the sanity of this nation.  But even when polls show that my views or my candidate might not be the choice of most others, I tend to just look at them and go on.  I guess that means I am [...]

As many of you are aware I am an amateur student of history and am very disturbed by some of the trends gaining momentum in our nation today.
The groups behind these trends ignore history.  For the speakers of these groups it is the history of the words that they have spoken before.  For others it [...]

It seems you can always count on the Republican Party and the Republican members of the house and senate to side with big money.  Recently this party of big corporations and mega dollars has not disappointed.
I really don’t think the Republicans met a bad idea or an idea to rip off the public that they [...]

I suppose it is easier when you are from Alabama not to worry about the safety of this country.  After all, what is there in Alabama to blow up?
But when you put yourself up in front of both your state and your nation as a member of the party that most cares about [...]

The National Tea Party Convention began yesterday in Nashville, Tennessee.  We all knew it was going to be a spectacle from the outset.  But no American flags in the convention hall, no Pledge of Allegiance and most of all no opening prayer?  Be still my heart.  Have these people lost sight of all their loudly [...]

Why does Glenn Beck and Fox continue to try to drive wedges between Americans?  Why are they against African Americans, Latinos and anyone else who is not just like them?  Why do they hate anyone who is not white, middle aged and racist?
I have decided it is because they are all idiots.    Why else would [...]

Today it seems like I am caught up on the Republican lie machine.  I simply cannot believe that people believe the crap that is consistently spewed from the right.
Frank Luntz is one of the lowest forms of life.  He is a person who knows better and realizes he is lieing but does it anyway.  All [...]

If you think there is not a right wingnut press and propaganda machine you are very blind to reality.  Glenn Beck,Rush Limbaugh, The Washington Times (owned by the Rev. Moon),  the Wall Street Journal Editorial Pages and Fox News all participate in a round robin of spreading half truths and outright lies.
Retractions for misstatements and [...]

Today there are many sad states of affairs in our national defense and military structure.  Few if any of these conditions have to do with those Americans who have volunteered to serve our great nation.  The sad and disgraceful actions seem to come from those in the government who lead the military, the suppliers of [...]

Today President Obama addressed the Democratic senators.  He was no easier on them than he was on the Republican House members last week.  He used logic and truth to make them understand they have a majority and they need to use it now.
I hope President Obama’s spine transplant works, especially on the flea ridden blue dogs.  [...]

Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson from Florida and Progressive activist groups as well as others have gone on the offensive with the United States Senate.  They want health care to be passed as soon as possible and they are backing up their demand with thousands of signatures from around the country.  These signatures, many from these [...]
