Debt ceiling debate is over. Once again, Republicans won the fight (not the debate). Congress passed a bill that would have no “revenue increases” (Democratic euphemism for taxes) on the “job creators” (Republican euphemism for corporations on welfare, tax dodgers, and those who are in the top 1% of earners). Grandma on Social Security, tough […]
These days we are hearing the word ceilings everywhere. There is this big hue and cry about debt ceiling and a couple of years back about the glass ceiling that was purportedly preventing women to ascend to presidency in this country(USA) as claimed by Hillary Clinton. I was curious about the origins of ceilings […]
Fair warning. For mature audience only! I don’t recall laughing this much watching a comedy clip. “caucus blockus” Williams: “Grow-up Fallon.” Fallon: “Growing is easy. I have a Boehner now.”

As in the case of Tri-Valley University, about 90% of the students who are affected by this action by the Feds are Indians, and a vast majority of them are from Andhra Pradesh. In this particular case, I beg to differ from the standard line of excuse: ignorance or innocence. We all know the maxim: ignorantia legis neminem excusat (ignorance of the law excuses no one.) I contend that it is willful participation by many students.
This the interview I talked a lot about on my July 29th show. If you don’t like RK’s style of interviewing, ignore him and focus on what she is saying. I will not be surprised if she wins it all the way and be next Miss Universe. Watch this video on YouTube
If you missed the Netflix ads or Netflix story of late, you must not be living in the United States. Regular listeners of my show know that Netflix is one of my beat-up horses. I was on record saying that it is a company with a bloated stock price and potentially an accounting scam artist. […]
Yes, it is not a typo that you see ‘Driven Driven’ in the title. What is the ailment of the current economy and the effect of it on millions of people all around the world? We can understand if the economy gets impacted if there are natural calamities like the Tsunami/earthquake in Japan […]
Carl Bernstein – the Washington Post investigative journalist who (along with Bob Woodward) exposed Nixon’s 3rd rate burglary and break-in of Watergate weighs in on Murdoch’s News of the World hacking scandal.

This is a fake job announcement for which two or three candidates will be interviewed on air on Friday’s (July 22) Mohana Muralaee GaanaLahari on TORi. My guest Dr. Michael Krimmer and myself have expertise in GIS. So, it is not surprising that I chose to place this fake announcement for a GIS Analyst. This […]
The GOP law makers and talking heads criticize the President for not naming cuts in the budget. Then the GOP majority house passes a joke-of-a bill with a fancy title, “Cut, Cap and Balance” [for cut spending, cap the debt ceiling instead of filing for bankruptcy and balance the budget]. Name is catchy. Intended purposes […]
గిరిజనుల కోసం పోరాటం చేసినందుకు బినాయక్ సేన్ మీద రాజద్రోహం కేసు పెట్టారు, సరే బినాయక్ సేన్ మావొఇస్టుల సానుభూతిపరుడే అనుకుందాం. మరి ఆంధ్రాలో జరిగేదేంటి? ప్రభుత్వోద్యోగం చేస్తూ, నెల నెలా ప్రభుత్వం దగ్గర జీతం తీసుకుంటూ ప్రభుత్వం మీద తిరగుబాటు చేస్తాం, ప్రభుత్వాన్ని పని చేయనివ్వమని కారు కూతలు కూసే కోదండరాం స్వామి గౌడ్ లాంటి వాళ్ళ మీద ఎలాంటి రాజ ద్రోహం కేసులు పెట్టాలి? వీళ్ళంతా చదువు జ్ఞానం లేకుండానే ప్రభుత్వోద్యోగం చేస్తున్నారా? ప్రజల […]
Once again, Jon Stewart gives Fix News taste of their Own Medicine on his Jul 19th show. Cal Thomas on Fox: “The biggest case of piling on since the last rugby game I saw.” Jon picked from that moment and pounced. Jon contrasted Fox’s hysteric coverage of a comment made by NPR executive to virtual […]
The American economy is 2/3rd consumer spending. In the 1990, cheap credit boosted consumer spending via revolving. In the 2000s, the meteoric rise in home prices led to consumers tapping their home equity to keep spending (referred to as ‘the Home ATM’). Now, both credit spigots have been stopped. Furthermore, the consumer is already in […]
