It was the ultimate freestyle battle in The Shelter aka Washington D.C.Papa Doc aka John Boehner came hard with his rendition of "I Got 99 Problems But $40 Ain't One." B-Rabbit aka Barack Obama, came back even harder with his "Hashtag This $40 Muthafucka."The crowd went wild. Every day Americans chimed in with B-Rabbit causing Boehner and his Republican crew to choke. B-Rabbit walked back

By now you should have heard of Occupy Wall Street - it's only the biggest populist peaceful uprising to take place in America in decades.And the rest of the country is taking notice. So now there's Occupy Boston, Occupy Seattle, Occupy Chicago....you get the idea.And you best believe the establishement is fighting back and fighting dirty.That hasn't stopped some folks from organizing Occupy

I am obviously more accustomed to public writing than I am to public speaking.

Again, I was watching C-Span this morning. I caught tail end of Mike Pompeo and after yesterdays diatribes from a Republican and a 'Blue Dog' Democratguy on deck is Representative Tim Ryan from my own home state of Ohio.

So I was watching C-SPAN this morning and I was left angry by the words of two of our Represenatives - a Republican and so-called a 'Blue Dog' Democrat.It seems the new buzzword that means everyone in America is about to get screwed is "Shared Sacrifice".

I've been reading about the latest ridiculously racist abortion billboard and of course reading comments about it. And one man, in those comments, makes the original point that women just "shouldn't get pregnant in the first place."I've read comments like this from a lot of men in a lot of places and it seems outside the realm of reality.I think it's time for a sex boycott. I think all women

I just do not understand why some people feel they have the right to tell women (or men for that matter) what they can or cannot do with their own bodies.Yes, even abortion.Right now Ohio Republicans are working very hard to make it harder for women of all ages to have or make the choice for abortion. By the same token, they are also working very hard to eliminate all the social services that

OK. Once upon a time I suggested that we burn FOX News to the ground.In light in the recent shooting episode in Arizona, I said we should tone down violent rhetoric and my good friend over at City Kin pointed out my violent rhetoric towards FOX.I then pointed out that this was akin to saying slaves should have never wanted to revolt against their masters.My point, which may have been rather vague

If this Enquirer article on Governor Elect John Kascih can be trusted, then 2011 is going to be a God-awful year for Ohio. If the article was reporting something a Democrat said, I would only give it half a glance, but the Enquirer treats conservatives with reverence and so the quotes can more likely be taken as gospel, not spin.You can tell the difference because Democrats are usually relegated

Anecdote relayed to me from a Roselawn resident: I went to Kroger in Roselawn for something as simple as orange juice. It wasn't until I got it home, that I realized it had already expired for 7 days. I can't imagine that happening to me in any other neighborhood Kroger.Just one person's story but it's a single example of the many ways Kroger let it's Roselawn customers down. But Kroger insists

Kroger has long been a tiny thorn in my side - and recently I had given them the benefit of the doubt, but no more. I will not spend another penny in their stores unless and until they do right by the people who shop at their Hillcrest Store in Roselawn.There is a large community of Senior Citizens who walk to this store from the retirement communities directly behind and also from the

Just cleaning up a little. Fixing a typo here & there. Dusting off a few old posts & putting them back where they belong. When I updated my blog a while back, somehow I never got around to putting back a couple of my sidelinks so I've updated "The DebLite Must Read" and "DebLite on Racism" and put them back in the side bar.Also, I've added a few new links for sites that have become staples for

Last night, I had a brief conversation with someone I really respect. I asked him to read my recent article entitled, "Steve Chabot is Full of Shit". He raised an eyebrow at the title, and I read a wealth of remonstration in that one gesture. It lead me to ask myself the question: Do I really mean what I said about Steve Chabot or am I just shooting my mouth off?Now I've never met Steve Chabot.
