Health Care - A Condition, not a Commodity

By Ramona on Sat, 09/05/2009 - 10:28pm |
Bill Moyers has been tireless in his efforts to get through to the President the importance of universal, equitable health care. This isn't something he--or we--can afford to put off. Millions are without health care, millions are without jobs, millions are without homes, millions are without money. If this isn't the time to push for health care as an inalienable right for all Americans, I don't know when that will be.

Josh, who is SG and why no link to this fine blog??

By Ramona on Thu, 09/03/2009 - 12:08pm |
Josh, at this moment there are 610 recs to your blog yesterday about "TPM reader SG's lament", but no link and of course no place to comment.  It was an excellent post, as you well know, or you wouldn't have...

Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes

By Ramona on Mon, 08/31/2009 - 12:35pm |
I've been following the dismissive and sometimes ugly posts and comments about the quantity and quality of writings in the TPMCafe.  I've had a chance to sleep on it now.  I don't really care about the origins of the posts...

Can we please, finally, forgive Ted Kennedy?

By Ramona on Wed, 08/26/2009 - 1:00pm |
For more than 40 years he has consistently been on the side of the people without power. As former senator Bob Kerry said on "Morning Joe" today, "If you're getting the shaft, you ought to be weeping today because Ted Kennedy was your best friend.

Calling All Dems: Time for an Intervention

By Ramona on Fri, 08/21/2009 - 9:51pm |
We don't need a new party. We already have one of the historically great ones. This may cause some heads to snap, but we were the greatest when we were the most liberal. We lost whatever moral standing we had when we shut the door on being our brother's keeper and got in bed instead with the powermongers who would just as soon screw us as look at us.

The Morality and the Reality of Public Health Care - Ed Schultz Hits it Out of the Park

By Ramona on Thu, 08/20/2009 - 1:04am |
How is it that we've rewarded those hateful charlatans with fame and fortune while effectively shunning those who actually minister to real people with real problems? Maybe now that change is in the air, now that unprecedented numbers of our citizens need an unprecedented amount of help, we'll look to the real churches for real help.

Cal Thomas, Humanitarian: An Oxymoron if Ever There Was One

By Ramona on Sun, 08/16/2009 - 7:16pm |
Of course we're special. We're so special, in fact, that a whole lot of us lefty heathens work doubly hard to ensure a quality of life for all. A far cry from what Thomas and his kind have been advocating. They're in the business of picking and choosing--who lives and who dies?--and a cynical business it is. They've chosen--proudly chosen--obscene, royal profits over needless suffering of the masses.

Happy Birthday, Helen Thomas. Oh, and You Too, Mr. Prez

By Ramona on Thu, 08/06/2009 - 1:26am |
I loved watching, one by one, all of those powerful Leaders of the Western World trying to suppress a sigh, wishing they could make light of this little woman's questions, but having the decency to honor the long-held Helen Thomas protocol by answering thoughtfully-- like grown-ups. Then George W. Bush took over the White House. Helen was moved to the rear of the bus, and my heart sank.

My Words on Bill Moyers' Lips - I'm Speechless

By Ramona on Sun, 08/02/2009 - 1:38pm |
(So there's no confusion about the way it's worded, this is a cross-post of my original blog at Ramona's Voices.) I missed Bill Moyers Journal on Friday night, and I was away from home all day yesterday until about 8...

That Jefferson - What a Spoilsport

By Ramona on Wed, 07/29/2009 - 12:47pm |
We are still frantically thumping our chests, pretending that America is alive and well, while the rest of the world sees us as we really are--a sad and sorry lot. But ain't we got fun. . .?
