Thanks Jim. Did you happen to catch the comments on the Globe web site? I didn't know they printed it until a few minutes ago.

Excellent commentary. Many of the obstructionists are very confused (a prerequisite for hypocrisy?). They regard themselves as wanting government to stay out of their personal and state affairs (the 'libertarian' aspect). They also regard themseve...

Well for a number of reasons 1) she is smart and reasonable, 2) she is not Roy Blunt. I could think of more but do you really need more?

I'm not sure it's so smart. It means she's a glyph. Why should we vote for her anyway?

The Lie Machine (Rolling Stone Obtains Docs-Rt Wing Coordinating Mobs)

"According to internal documents obtained by Rolling Stone, Conservatives for Patients' Rights had been working closely for weeks as a "coalition partner" with three other right-wing groups in a plot to unleash irate mobs at town-hall meetings just like Doggett's. Far from representing a spontaneous upwelling of populist rage, the protests were tightly orchestrated from the top down by corporate-funded front groups as well as top lobbyists for the health care industry.

Foaming at the mouth hypocrisy

There are legitimate sounding rationales to oppose health care reform and even more reasons to be concerned about the status quo but we tend to spend a lot of time on complete nonsense.

Repeatedly conservative critics of Obama’s views on health care reform have attempted to label him as “fascist” and “communist.” Many even use those labels interchangeably as if they are the same political/economic system.

For the past seven months, she’s followed something akin to an incumbent’s strategy, keeping a low profile, refraining from making much news and mostly ignoring GOP challenges and demands. It’s a stay-above-the-fray approach that is frustrating and befuddling Missouri Republicans and their likely 2010 nominee, Rep. Roy Blunt.

New Oped to the Globe: please proof/comment before I send

I have been increasingly concerned about the intensity and tone of language about Hispanics in the media and in this community.

This is not about political correctness. You can say what you want and if I think it is inaccurate, so can I.

First, not all people with brown skin are Mexicans. A Joplin Globe on-line reader recently said in response to an article about Judge Sotomayor’s appointment to the Supreme Court: “Why wouldn’t we just as well welcome Mexico as the 52nd State?” Judge Sotomayor… Continue
