Poor Mitt

February 3, 2012

If Newt Gingrich has made himself famous through oratorical bomb-throwing…and he has….then Mitt Romney has become famous for his willingness to take both sides of any issue. Romney said this January 22nd… What unfortunately happens is with all the multiplicity of federal programs, you have massive overhead, with government bureaucrats in Washington administering all these [...]

Enthusiasm Gap This

February 2, 2012

Palm Beach Post, January 17, 2012….. Florida Republicans say the latest voter registration and absentee ballot figures point to a GOP enthusiasm advantage over Democrats heading into the 2012 presidential election. The election "enthusiasm gap" talk is a relatively new entry in the game of bullsh*t played by the Very Serious People every 2 years. [...]

Misleading Us Into War….The Sequel

February 1, 2012

In 2002 when neo-cons within the U.S. military and inside the Bush White House worked hard to deceive Congress and the American people into cheering for an unprovoked attack against the non-threatening nation of Iraq, steady and repetitive neo-connish messaging cleared the pathway to aggressive war. Not only was Saddam Hussein's Iraq not a threat [...]

Angry Conservatives

January 24, 2012

Last night down in Florida GOP candidate Mitt Romney basically called Newt Gingrich out as an unprincipled liar…which, of course, Gingrich is. Starting at about the 9:40 mark…listen to Gingrich, a master of deception, attempt to convince viewers that the $1.6 million his company took from Fanny and Freddie wasn't for the purpose of lobbying [...]

Operation Myth Making

January 6, 2012

Myth making is an industry within politics. In our age of smorgasboard news,….just choose what you like….myth making has exploded. Americans can no longer agree on one narrative of what just happened yesterday. Our politics, if not our entire culture, has accepted post-modernism: there is no real truth. Back in the Bill Clinton days….before the [...]

A Class Warfare Election

December 28, 2011

Writing about Mitt Romney in Esquire, the excellent Charles Pierce had this to say…. He (Romney) is really the only true class warrior in the race. He's counting on prejudice and ignorance because he is running in the Republican primaries and that's the coin of the realm. But he's also counting on the desperate dreams [...]

Calling The Truth A Lie

December 21, 2011

Let's do a thought experiment, shall we? Let's say that McDonald's comes out with a 'new and improved' Big Mac. The Big Mac sandwich has been around for quite awhile now and despite it's continued popularity, McDonald's decides to "save" the iconic sandwich by reforming, remodeling the classic, 39 grams-of-fat, double hamburger. In my hypothetical, [...]

Why Iraq?

December 16, 2011

Many times I've heard Village spokespeople rhetorically ask…why did we go into Iraq? Why the Iraq war? These Village talking heads know the answer to that question, but in typical Village fashion, cannot explain it to the unwashed masses because then people like Bill Kristol, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and the [...]
