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 [...]

The National Threat From Capitalism

June 22, 2009

One of the Akron Beacon Journal's favorite columnists, the Washington Post's George Will, is back in this morning's Journal, even though the Beacon has yet to tell it's readers about the blatant errors Will has made in a couple of his previous columns,….errors never retracted. It's very obvious that today's newspapers no longer feel obligated [...]

Bleeping Golden

June 19, 2009

I've been thinking that if cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy were flammable gases, and could be captured….our national energy problems would be solved immediately…..and we could pay off our national debt with the money left over.
Let me explain my jaded and cynical self.
Remember those great moments of Blago a few months ago? The voting machines were [...]

Choices & Competition

June 15, 2009

Here's a link to update this post….it's a must read.
From yesterday's Face the Nation on CBS with Bob Schieffer….
Schieffer countered (Senator Mitch) McConnell's(R-KY) contention that the Obama plan would choose (or deny) which treatments a covered individual may get; the White House is not proposing any kind of rationing board, he said. He also repeated [...]

What We Need To Know

June 12, 2009

While extremists dominate our broader public discourse with some of the craziest sh*t I've ever heard….the most important issues of the day are being decided quietly, behind the scenes, without much media coverage or discussion.

"Reporting" Dishonestly

June 8, 2009

Virtually all sides now agree that Judge Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation as the next Supreme Court Justice is all but a lock. All sides. Senate Republicans are not entirely self-destructive, even though at times one wonders. Senate Republicans understand the political suicide they would be carrying out by voting against the first Latino to be nominated [...]

Distractions For The Gullible

May 30, 2009

How "reality" is created in 21st century America…
The aide said that guys like me (author, Ron Susskind) were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me [...]

Banksters Do Own Congress

May 18, 2009

There is no apparent way for the bankster's jackboot to be removed from the neck of the American population.
Republicans, we have known for decades, will always side with the banksters when legislation bubbles to the surface in Congress. Banksters are the most important constituents Republicans have.
Ever since the days of Bill Clinton, however, [...]

The Dick Report

May 9, 2009

Updated below
While Mr. Cheney held the office of the vice presidency, about the only time I can recall him being on the teevee was during the fraud-up leading to the U.S. act of aggression against the formerly sovereign nation of Iraq. Mr. Cheney appeared several times on American teevee telling obvious lies about the awful, [...]
