According to five clinical psychiatrists who describe themselves as being politically aware, Joe Lieberman’s behaviour over the last few weeks of the Senate health care debate reveals numerous signs that he is increasingly “unbalanced.”

The hard work began precisely at 11:00 pm on 04 November, healing our land and cleaning up our reputation in the world, after the [...]

In the mid-90s, Henry Waxman’s California 30th Congressional District was my home. Henry is the anti-LA glitz poster child. In a district that includes Beverly Hill, West Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Malibu, Henry’s the kind of guy who makes accountants look hip. Henry is decidedly not LA. But if you pierce the [...]

About The UKProgressive
UK Progressive began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign. It replaced two blogs: "Outside the Boundaries" (dedicated to US/UK Politics and Business) and "Fire the Guru!" an expose of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly known as The Vadimus Post from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'
We publish from a 19th century hilltop farmhouse in Monknash on the South Wales Glamorgan Heritage Coast. US-journalist Denis Campbell, based in The Netherlands and UK for 12-years is the publisher/editor. You can follow his live news feed on Facebook.com (Denis Campbell) and Twitter @UKProgressive.
