on his hind legs and fight

president pledges ~ end-run grid-locked washington ~ executive orders

president obama speaks to congress

must bring to an end ~ this political circus ~ pass this jobs bill now

a pacifist's job-search lament

When will come the day,
when the lists aren’t flooded with
defense contractors?

I would so prefer
to see page after page of
fair pay for fine work.

Jobs closer to homes,
building our communities,
for our common wealth.
