The Real Threat To America: Jay Leno Fans

As we sit here at the end of the American Empire, looking for who’s at fault for the decline of our great republic, the political and media elites seem to be looking in all the wrong places. Those insidious souls that are ruining this once mighty nation are not the political types you would [...]

Radical Right Wing Terrorism

It’s difficult to put into words my feelings on the plane attack in Austin from deranged conservative Joseph Stack. The first reaction of many liberals seems to be to blame Glenn Beck personally and I would say that is wrong. Wrong in the sense that it’s not that simple. I don’t believe [...]

My Morning: The Anatomy Of A Meme

From Wikipedia:

Why Republican Stimulus Doublespeak Matters

One common story that appears regularly in the liberal blogging world is the Republican who was against the stimulus but takes credit back home story. Hundreds of Congressional Republicans have been documented railing against the Recovery Act, then going home and passing out giant checks to constituents that were made possible by the very [...]

Freedom Of Speech With Money And Action

I was just pondering the SCOTUS decision that removed limits for corporate cash in elections and the elated position of most conservatives. They all are celebrating like Saints fans on Bourbon street last night. Jolemite sent me a Fox News opinion piece (isn’t everything that comes from Fox opinion) and he was absolutely [...]

Democracy Is Now For Sale, As Republicans Adhere To Worthington’s Law

The radical right seems to be riding high these days. After permanently ending the Democratic majority in the Senate by adding a 41st senate seat, they now are partying in overdrive now that the Supreme Court has struck down restrictions on corporate money being used in elections.

The news coming out of the disaster zone in Haiti continues to be grim, and the earthquake seems to have caused untold devastation and death. Yet as much as it is fashionable to mock and criticize the United States for its foreign policy, our altruistic tradition of assistance in times of tragedy is on [...]
