"Ask Marilyn" Flubs One

July 21, 2009

Marilyn Vos Savant is an extremely brilliant woman who writes answers to questions in the Sunday Parade magazine. This past Sunday, I think she flubbed one, badly. Take a look… My wife and I have lost more than a third of our life savings in the stock we set aside for our retirement. How can [...]

"Reason"-ed Anal Openings

July 20, 2009

The Washington Post, D.C.'s premier Villager rag, gave space to Reason.com and Reason magazine's Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch on Sunday. The resultant article is a nasty hitpiece on President Obama weaving a thread equating him with Jimmy Carter…. Like (President Jimmy) Carter, Obama is smart, moralistic and enamored of alternative energy schemes that were [...]

Worried To Death About Top 1%

July 19, 2009

I had a brief conversation yesterday with a conservative relative about health care reform. The concern that my relative had over Obama's plan was that surgeons might just stop practicing surgery, or go elsewhere, if their fees were limited in any new way. The point I took away from the conversation is similar to the [...]

How The Village Thinks

July 17, 2009

Popular blogger Glenn Greenwald interviewed NBC's political news director, Chuck Todd, yesterday. (Transcript here) The topic of discussion was why the Bush administration should or should not be investigated for numerous crimes….and what role the media should play in the debate. I must hand it to Chuck Todd for braving such an interview. Todd is [...]

A Steaming Pile Of The Village

July 16, 2009

The Washington Post's David Ignatius is a personal case study in what's wrong down in the Village. Again the AB Journal gives Ignatius top billing on it's op-ed page….and again, Ignatius lays down the isolated and rotted Village mindset. If the U.S. federal government, according to Ignatius, holds it's agencies, like the CIA, accountable for [...]

Huckleberry

July 15, 2009

It's the white man's right, once he has extended his hand of "equality" to non-whites, to openly and ruthlessly try to humiliate the non-white so he or she doesn't get too, you know, uppity. The thinking is ugly, naturally, but then think about what white men have done on the earth……quite a few ugly things [...]

Theater Of The Absurd

July 14, 2009

Watch Senator Clown's opening act here. Connecticut firefighter, Frank Ricci, will testify on Thursday in the Sotomayor confirmation hearings. What he knows about Supreme Court Justice qualifications, I have no idea. But he'll make a good prop for the circus Republicans are hoping to run in the Senate hearing room this week. Read on…. Frank [...]

Overwhelming Evidence

July 12, 2009

A week ago we learned about new evidence confirming that Richard Cheney directed the Bush administration's disclosure of Valerie Plame's covert CIA status….. A document filed in federal court this week by the Justice Department offers new evidence that former vice president Richard B. Cheney helped steer the Bush administration's public response to the disclosure [...]

The Rogue Bush White House

July 11, 2009

If you don't read Glenn Greenwald's blog at Salon.com regularly…..I highly recommend doing so. I have been reading Greenwald for a few years. He is a constitutional lawyer with a razor sharp writing style that's easy for laypeople, like me, to follow. Of all print media, Greenwald's blog ranks 9th in a list of the [...]

As California Goes?

July 10, 2009

California is now issuing IOU's to meet it's financial responsibilities. The state has debt to the tune of $24 billion and referendums to remedy the problem have all gone down to defeat. The state is bankrupt on paper…..you know, like most of those Big Wall Street Banks that are too big to fail. But California? [...]
