Cooking in a Coffee Pot and Other Useful Tips for the Homeless By David Glenn Cox
I write this for the millions who, like myself, are holed up in basements, garages, empty houses, fields, culverts and what have you. Guilty of being Americans and homeless, trying to make it through just one more day in the land of Fuck You and the home of the slave. I am at the top of the homeless pyramid; I still have internet access and a toilet.
The one thing to remember about the homeless is that (…)

Where Have All the Democrats Gone?

2 commentsWhere Have All the Democrats Gone? By David Glenn Cox
If you live long enough you will see just about all that there is to see, except maybe the Chicago Cubs win the World Series. I was reading news stories and that’s how I felt when I ran across this one:
“June 12 (Bloomberg) — U.S. lawmakers are set to approve a $106 billion war-spending bill after President Barack Obama said he would use ’every legal and administrative remedy available’ to block the release of photos of troops abusing (…) -
Come, See Your Future

Come, See Your Future By David Glenn Cox
The sword of Damocles has fallen; Atlas has dropped the Earth and an earthquake has struck California. Not a seismic earthquake but an economic earthquake.
The reverberations in the California real estate market combined with the outsourcing of jobs set into motion the shaking of the state’s economic foundations. If you were to see this play enacted in a theater, you wouldn’t believe it. I read it again and again and shake my head at what has (…) -
The Coming Struggle, Why Your Guns Won’t Save You

First let me say that I have owned guns most of my adult life. I’m not a gun nut or a fanatic with high-powered rifles and semiautomatic handguns, or a bunker under the house. I owned a shotgun for home protection and a pistol for personal protection because I worked in a rough area and had to make cash bank deposits.
I never had to use either gun but felt safer for knowing that I had them just in case of emergency. During my divorce my wife told sheriff’s deputies (…) -

Close to the Edge, A Country Without Pity Or the New Ballad of Hollis Brown By David Glenn Cox
“Hollis Brown he lived on the outside of town Hollis Brown he lived on the outside of town With his wife and five children in a cabin broken down
You looked for work and money and you walked a ragged mile You looked for work and money and you walked a ragged mile Your children are so hungry that they don’t know how to smile
Your baby’s eyes look crazy they’re a-tuggin at your sleeve Your (…) -

More of the Same Game By David Glenn Cox
The Republicans rant and froth at the mouth over Obama’s choice of Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court Justice, taking quotes out of context and using her membership in Hispanic organizations as they try to paint her into a corner as a racist. The left is giddy with diversity as a Latina and woman was Obama’s choice, and of course women and minorities should be better represented on the Supreme Court.
Jackie Robinson was chosen to be the first (…) -

The Next Wave By David Glenn Cox
There is an old joke about a guy who fell off the eightieth floor of a construction site. On the fortieth floor his friends called out, “Are you all right?” The man answers, “So far, so good!” The experts and pundits alike take turns trying to call bottom in this economic cataclysm, for it is a choice career plum to be the expert who correctly calls the bottom.
The problem is that this financial catastrophe has been so well-disguised that it is almost (…) -
Where Do We Go When All Hope is Gone?

Where Do We Go When All Hope is Gone? By David Glenn Cox
Where do we go when all hope is gone? Where are the answers to be found when our leaders refuse to seek them? I do not see in Washington either hope nor change. I do not see the answers; I don’t even see any questioning for the answers. The Democrats in Congress whined for two years about all that they would do if only they were in the majority. So, now there they are, and what do we get?
We get lame excuses, futile half measures, (…) -
To Follow the Worms

By David Glenn Cox
The easiest way to spot a liar is that liars always over-embellish their case. They can’t just leave it at, “It was that way when I got here.” No, they will continue to color the edges with frills. “I just walked in the room to get a cup of coffee and when I turned around I found it broken on the floor.”
The former Vice President has taken up the mantle for his former boss, a man who is now too busy collecting cash to worry about the legacy of his regime. The former (…) -

Bailouts and Boots By David Glenn Cox
When Americans went to the polls last November they were given what appeared to be two clear choices. Either, a more of the same trickle down economics from an elderly Republican war hero so spineless as to waffle on his own statements within twenty fours hours of making them.
Or a young and vigorous man who offered us hope. Barack Obama is very intelligent, very personable and engaging. After eight years of George Bush and Dick Cheney the Democrats (…)
