The Ed Weathers Blog: GUILT RIDDANCE: How to Live without a Conscience
http://edweathers.blogspot.com/2013/03/guilt-riddance-how-to-live-without.html
The Ed Weathers Blog. Thursday, March 28, 2013. GUILT RIDDANCE: How to Live without a Conscience. Notice that the conscience has already been removed in this illustration. The instant I woke up after the operation, I knew I had been bamboozled. I was in a strange bed in a dark room full of whining little bodies. My throat screamed unceasingly with a condensed lifetime of pain. I quickly ran out of Kleenex to cough blood into. My mother was nowhere to be seen. You’ll wake up the other children! Apparently...

The Ed Weathers Blog: SOCIALIZED MEDICINE: A LOVE STORY
http://edweathers.blogspot.com/2013/10/socialized-medicine-love-story.html
The Ed Weathers Blog. Monday, October 7, 2013. SOCIALIZED MEDICINE: A LOVE STORY. My mother, Elsie Weathers (left), and her friend Phyllis McGuire at Biggs Hospital c. 1943. Whatever you call it, I believe that if a person gets sick, he or she should be able to go to a doctor or a hospital, receive treatment and medicine, and have to pay nothing. My father, Terry Weathers (left), and his friend Ed Miller at Biggs Memorial Hospital c. 1939. For my parents, their time at Biggs was a time of prolonged physi...

The Ed Weathers Blog. Monday, September 2, 2013. HOW TO FLOOD THE DATA MINE: A GUIDE TO GUMMING UP THE NSA/CIA/FBI SPYWORKS. This post is an act of civil protest. Do not respond to it or repost it lest you be put on an NSA watch list. I’m not kidding. If you believe, as I do, that a government that spies on its own citizens is no longer a democracy, then let’s do something about it. What can we do? We can gum up the spyworks. We can flood the data mine. We can overwhelm the NSA/CIA/FBI computers with ema...

The Ed Weathers Blog. Friday, December 12, 2014. HAIR ON FIRE: DO LIBERALS UNDERSTAND THE SPENDING BILL? Elizabeth Warren is mighty angry. The rantings of Warren, Pelosi, and others aside, here are some facts to keep in mind about all this, so we at least know what we're outraged about:. Obama and Pelosi in warmer times. 3) The insured-derivatives provision in the current spending bill affects less than 10% of the banks' swaps/derivatives transactions. 6) If the spending bill had been voted down, the gov...

The Ed Weathers Blog. Thursday, May 10, 2012. OBAMA, GAY MARRIAGE, AND VOTES. By Elizabeth Abbott. If you want more details about my opinion of marriage, see this earlier blog post. Although I would not recommend marriage to anyone, I nevertheless am rather proud of President Obama for (finally) supporting gay marriage without equivocation. He has taken a principled stand that will cost him votes. How often have we been able to say that about a politician in an election year? Political Positives for Obama.

For two years now, I have been arguing with my fellow liberals about the Supreme Court’s well-known (shall I say notorious? 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.
