Sarah Palin lost - humor
by David Markham8 Nov 2008 at 10:02 am
Believe it or not I have worked with patient's like this. As a patient I have compassion and have a therapeutic role to play, but as a voter I find this video somewhat distressing but also hilarious. May God bless Sarah Palin and keep her in her care.

Amercians finally come to their senses
by David Markham5 Nov 2008 at 8:10 am
As a therapist it is very satisfying to see that most Americans have finally come to their senses and broken out of their delusional thinking and are ready to face reality.
It has been a long time coming. The gaslighting and smearing by the Republicans did not work and the inner compass of America finally has guided a previously terrified nation onto a better track with the restoration of faith in

Americans are so stupid - The voting mess
by David Markham4 Nov 2008 at 1:45 pm
I voted in Brockport, NY this morning about 9:25 AM on one of old lever mechanical lever machines which I voted on my whole life and work just fine.
The idea of going to electronic voting machines is either stupid or diabolical. Why Americans are so stupid as to put up them is beyond me. They should be ashamed of themselves.
To pick up and echo a meme delivered by the Republicans in this campa

Homeless in New York City has hit all time record in 09/08.
by David Markham6 Nov 2008 at 7:11 pm
From the New York Times, 10/29/08:
In what some see as a sign of the economic downturn’s impact on the city’s poorest, more families entered the homeless shelter system in September than in any other month since data has been collected.
Some 1,446 families entered shelter in September, city officials said. That was the highest number in one month since the city began keeping track 25 years

W. - the film
by David Markham31 Oct 2008 at 7:31 pm
W., the movie directed by Oliver Stone, was not all that good. I watched it this afternoon and it is slow without much of a point. If you follow politics you don't learn much new. The theme seems to be focused on the Oedipal struggle which W. has with his father.
