Looking Again at Transactional Analysis

Originally published in 2008. For some reason lately I’ve been thinking about Transactional Analysis, or TA. Being a bookish (read: nerdy) child of the ’70s, I came of age in the days of I’m OK—You’re OK, and because it was on the New York Times Bestseller List during my junior-high years, when I became old […]

Bailout = US Treasury as Slush Fund

I dunno… I have this creeping dread that what I’m about to say will cost me my Progressive credentials or something. It somehow feels creepily… Conservative… The people who want The Bailout want to use the US Treasury as their slush fund. Back when I was an underemployed, underpaid customer-service guy at a Kinko’s store,

Notes on Liberal and Conservative

from my comments to a friend’s LiveJournal blog: I find that “liberal” and “conservative” just don’t work for me… Even “progressive” is becoming meaningless. If the Democratic Party were still the party of FDR, I’d feel more comfortable calling myself Progressive because I think that the New Deal was one of the better things that

9/11

I’ve been saying this for seven years: the fact that we didn’t deserve it doesn’t mean we didn’t have it coming. I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown

If he did I might feel compelled to tear up my Master’s diploma in the face of incontrovertible evidence that

What She Said! (link fixed)

Re: Sarah Palin: Damn. I still can’t say it better than Ellen Goodman. Sandi asked me a good question today: She wondered how far down the list he had to go before McCain found a piece of work like this to run with him.

Palin

I’m sorry, but I must count myself among those who say that it’s just unmitigated hypocrisy that a vice presidential candidate who bars the teaching of birth control in schools would be running while her minor daughter living under her roof is carrying a child conceived out of wedlock. I’ve never seen so much backpedaling

Apparently I’m a Disloyal Disloyal Democrat

Damn! I spent, like, an hour researching a rebuttal to a couple obnoxious posters on the pumapac.org blog today, and when I went back a few hours later, it had apparently not passed muster with the mods and had been sent off into the ether. I shoulda saved it, but I thought, nah, I don’t
