The Hypocrites Oath

-

The Hypocrites Oath is a time honored political tradition, I promise to say one thing and do another.

Senator and Presidential candidate Ted Cruz has spent every moment of his time in the Senate demanding the repeal of The Affordable Care Act, what he always calls Obamacare. Literally, every moment. He attacked it again during his campaign kick-off at Liberty University.

Cruz' wife is an executive at Goldman Sachs and he has been on her insurance. Now his wife is taking a leave of absence while he runs for the Republican nomination so they would be losing their health insurance. What ever will they do? Don't worry, Cruz has a solution, he signed up for Obamacare. (You know I don't like that word but it's relevant to Cruz.)

Do not be fooled by any justification offered by old Ted. He doesn't have to use the government exchange set up by the Affordable Care Act. He can go to any insurance company he wants and buy a plan for his family. He's not doing that because it would cost a lot more. Not to worry Ted Cruz could afford to do that, he's not poor but he's not doing it because of his Hypocrites Oath.

If you truly have the courage of your convictions you act accordingly. The only conviction  Cruz has is his belief he should be President.

Sacrifice

After a lengthy absence from live performance I found my self wedged in a seat at Theater on the Square in Indianapolis. The production was "Sacrifice" , an original and first play from co-writers Marcus May and Caleb Nunez. Both have experience in short films and a life long love of the arts. The play is about racial tension between two families, one black and one Latino. Leading the Latino family is Ernesto, a building super who's wife was killed many years earlier by a young black male. Ernesto, engagingly played by Joe Vanegas, cannot let go of this life altering experience and as a result has a distrust of African Americans and a prejudice born of pain. His daughter Ana, played by Brittany Crone, views the world through a different lens, one of tolerance and acceptance of diversity. She tries to soften her father's views but to no avail. Enter the new tenants in the building, the black family father and son Antonio and Trey. When Trey meets Ana sparks begin

The Day After

Well, how you doing today. Feeling nauseous? Feeling giddy with joy? Feeling like the Republic is now under the control of a Sith Lord? Feeling like the saviour of the nation has arrived? I guess it all depends on where you stand. I said in this little forum from the very beginning that Donald Trump could get the Republican nomination and go on to win the Presidency. I was hopeful that he wouldn't but never delusional that he couldn't. Forget about the polls which got it wrong and forget about the professional pundits who got it wrong and are still getting it wrong in their analysis. Trump won in the Electoral College because of rural America turning out in large numbers. As I write this Hillary Clinton still has over 200,000 more votes than Donald Trump and that number will likely grow by the time the count is complete. The irony is that the same people who voted for Donald Trump are the ones who rail against the Electoral College. Let me repeat again that millions of Amer

I don't care what you write, it can be 1234 but do it. This will provide me a better understanding of how many eyeballs are viewing. Thank you for your compliance. Failure to respond will result in a serious toungue lashing, which some of you would probably enjoy.
