• Part One: I Will Not Vote For Hillary Clinton in 2016. Here’s Why.

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on March 3, 2016 • ( 4 )

  

  As you can see, I have not written on this blog since 2014, and that’s because I’ve been totally politically disenfranchised throughout Barack Obama’s two terms. Simply put, Obama was the ultimate establishment politician. As a candidate on the hunt,… Read More ›

• This is Where I Get Off the Bus

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on August 15, 2014 • ( 6 )

  

  I turned sixty years old in February, and I’ve been voting for a very long time. Through all my political voting years, I’ve never voted anything but Democrat. I simply do not vote Republican. The fact that I am a… Read More ›

• On This Topic, I Am Indeed a Conspiracy Theorist

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on March 13, 2013 • ( 5 )

  

  The perfect storm of events came together over the past few weeks that made me come out of the closet on the issue of 9-11. Yes, that 9-11. First, Phillip Marshall, who wrote The Big Bamboozle: 9-11 and the War… Read More ›

• Oh, the Humanity! I Mean WTF?

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on February 22, 2013 • ( 1 )

  

  I could have made this another The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly. post, but I can’t find any good right now. These are all pretty ugly, and I don’t want to start yet another recurring post. People who know… Read More ›

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on February 18, 2013 • ( 4 )

  

  Oh, it’s time for another edition of The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly. Funny, there’s always more of The Bad. And the Ugly. Such is the state of American politics.   Proving that she’s very, very good Elizabeth Warren,… Read More ›

• A Nation of Freaks With Pathetic Excuses

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on February 1, 2013 • ( 0 )

  

  I’ve been totally flabbergasted with this nation’s response to the prospect of meaningful gun control legislation in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre. I thought I’d seen and heard just about everything in my lifetime. Boy, was I wrong…. Read More ›

  The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: 4,329 films were submitted to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This blog had 33,000 views in 2012. If each view were a film, this… Read More ›

• The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly.

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on January 29, 2013 • ( 2 )

  

  Or the column formerly called “The Weekly Ying and Yang.” I’ve decided to take a different approach, primarily because I no longer write that column weekly. And also because there’s far more “yang” than “ying.” Therefore, I believe that the… Read More ›

• Oh No! Not Another Lecture on Semantics!

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on January 28, 2013 • ( 2 )

  

  Ah, yes. My diatribe on the “moral high ground” has awoken the sleeping giant known as my good friend Ivan Hentschel. This is a good thing because I’ve been trying to get Ivan to send me a post for about… Read More ›

• America the Immoral, Part Two

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on January 24, 2013 • ( 0 )

  

  Part Two of America the Immoral took me longer than I anticipated to put together. Better late than never. Here you have it. The continued war on women is immoral at its very core. Apparently the GOP didn’t get the… Read More ›

• America the Immoral, Part One

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on January 15, 2013 • ( 0 )

  

  Don’t misread the headline. It doesn’t say “America the Immortal.” It does indeed say “America the Immoral.”  As a political junkie, I spend a lot of time rooting around, digging up information, and generally keeping myself informed of the day-to-day… Read More ›

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on December 17, 2012 • ( 0 )

  

  We’re a couple of days removed from the Newtown Massacre, and it is no less horrifying today than it was Friday. As a follow-up, I have posted on my Scribd site a PDF file of the NRA brochure that I… Read More ›

• The Time For Gun Control is Now.

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on December 16, 2012 • ( 6 )

  

  We’ve had yet another mass murder with guns, this time in Newtown, Connecticut. I know. I’ve heard all the laments. “Things like this don’t happen here.” Newtown is described as an “idyllic community.” I have, and this is no lie,… Read More ›

• Same Shit. Different Day.

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on November 29, 2012 • ( 3 )

  

  Yeah, I know. That’s an overused phrase. I was thinking of using The More Things Change, The More They Stay the Same, but that’s overused too. And, frankly, I feel as though I sound like a broken record. However, there’s… Read More ›

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on November 7, 2012 • ( 2 )

  

  It’s Wednesday, November 7, and I’m officially breathing a sigh of relief. I went to bed last night knowing gleefully that the only thing Mitt Romney is president of is the Wicked Losers Club. Yep. If you’re from Massachusetts, things… Read More ›

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on November 3, 2012 • ( 1 )

  

  I don’t know how you feel about the election, but I can’t wait until it’s all over. We’ll either be breathing a sign of relief or we’ll be scared shitless. Either way, after this election the American people need to… Read More ›

• The Big-Ass Elephant in the Room

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on November 1, 2012 • ( 2 )

  

  Can you guess what the big-ass elephant in the room is this election cycle? If you guessed climate change, you guessed right. It never made it as a debate topic because both sides agreed not to bring it up. In… Read More ›

• The 2012 Election Goal: Keep Romney-Ryan Out of the White House. Period.

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on October 30, 2012 • ( 3 )

  

  Over the last several days, the GOP has proved once again that it and its supporters are totally irrelevant, beginning with Donald Trump’s supposedly election-changing revelation about Barack Obama and ending with yet another GOP prospective lawmaker weighing in on… Read More ›

• Why You Should Wear a Bag On Your Head If You Plan to Vote GOP

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on October 19, 2012 • ( 0 )

• Here’s What’s On My Mind Today: The Debates Suck

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on October 17, 2012 • ( 3 )

  

  In fact, they suck out loud. How useful are they in their present format? Well, shit, we might as well all be sitting around eating pork rinds and watching Honey Boo Boo. And anyone who knows me will tell you… Read More ›

• Twenty-Three Days and Counting

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on October 14, 2012 • ( 3 )

  

  I, for one, will be happy when this damned election is over. I haven’t been this stressed out over an election since the days of Richard Nixon. Before I begin in earnest with this article, let me tell you something… Read More ›

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on October 4, 2012 • ( 4 )

• Toot! Toot! All Aboard the GOP Train Wreck!

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on October 2, 2012 • ( 0 )

  

  I’m definitely not gloating here. It’s waaaaay too soon to gloat. There’s plenty of time left before election day, and the times are decidedly weird. How anybody in this country (who isn’t millionaire status) could even be considering voting for… Read More ›

• OXYMORON. Defined.

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on September 17, 2012 • ( 4 )

  

  Ox-y-mo-ron: A figure of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side. [e.g., Gay Republican; Republican Women]. I apologize for not being vocal of late. Frankly, I’ve been on vacation taking a break from the political world… Read More ›

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on August 29, 2012 • ( 3 )

  

  So, yesterday was a banner day in CrazyTown, USA (formerly known as Tampa, Florida). Hurricane Isaac saw the GOP coming and got the hell out of town. He got out just in the nick of time, it turns out, because… Read More ›

  The GOP NutCake Bandwagon has officially pulled into CrazyTown, formerly known as Tampa, Florida, towing behind it the most vicious and extreme GOP Platform in the history of the party. I’m pretty sure Dwight D. Eisenhower must be turning over… Read More ›

• Todd Akin is NOT a GOP Anomaly

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on August 22, 2012 • ( 9 )

  

  “It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s… Read More ›

• Romney-Ryan 2012: The One Percent Ticket is Now Complete

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on August 11, 2012 • ( 3 )

  

  Nobody should be surprised that Mitt Romney has chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate. The consummate candidate of the one percent had to fill out his ticket with the appropriate sidekick. If elected, you can be sure of the… Read More ›

• Pity the Misguided Voters of America

  By Deb Equality Della Piana on August 6, 2012 • ( 6 )
