6 months after tragedy in Binghamton, NY
Thus I start my ongoing coverage with a 15 minute interview with Mayor Matt Ryan. We discussed some of the events of that day. The difficulties that the local authorities had, and how they were resolved. We discussed what has changed in Binghamton, and more importantly what has not.

President Obama is a rockstar. Seriously he makes Al Gore look like a kid on American Idol. And nothing says that more clearly than the Nobel Peace Prize of 2009.
President Obama has won the Nobel for
“his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”
Are they serious?

Michael Moore vs. Sean Hannity - commentary
Written by Michael Vass
In a battle of political views that went about even, Sean Hannity interviewed Michael Moore tonight. I can honestly say that I find both men extreme in their views and wrong more often than not.

Texas Governor Perry’s cousin shot dead by police - how many bullets?
Written by Michael Vass
I have often made the point, when discussing the extreme violence and overreaction of police across the nation, that I have never heard of an unarmed White male being killed by police - with a hail of bullets that number in the dozens. I have said I also have not heard of [...]
