How The Village Rolls

November 22, 2011

One of the reasons I started blogging was because of what I saw, and still see, as a failure by the main media to tell Americans the truth about…well…basically anything. Specifically, I was motivated by corporate media's collusion with the Bush White House in the run up to attacking the sovereign and non-threatening-to-the-U.S. nation of [...]

The 60's-70's…And Now

November 18, 2011

I haven't commented much on Occupy Wall Street because I didn't have much of anything to say about it. There were a lot of protests during the 1960's and 1970's. Many were anti-Vietnam War protests. Many, many people turned out for those protests. But those protests didn't end the war, just like the huge anti-Iraq [...]

Ohio's Issue 3: Wingnut Flypaper

November 6, 2011

Most Ohioans understand by now the stakes inherent in Ohio Issue 2. A no vote on Ohio's Issue 2 on Tuesday is a vote to repeal SB5, an extremist, anti-labor, GOP-forced bill to end collective bargaining rights of Ohio public employees. Polls are predicting a humiliating loss for LittleJohn Kasich's SB5. Republicans in Ohio…by 60%-40%….are [...]

The Wisconsin Weasel

October 27, 2011

The Congressional Budget Office, a partisan group when Democrats hold power, non-partisan when Republicans hold power, issued a new report yesterday…. In its report, the budget office found that from 1979 to 2007, average inflation-adjusted after-tax income grew by 275 percent for the 1 percent of the population with the highest income. For others in [...]

The Tale Of Two Protests

October 7, 2011

Back in the early goings of 2009, corporate media loved themselves some TEA Party. The hanging teabags. The Mel Gibson Patriot rent-a-costumes. The "don't tread on me" flags. The "taxed enough already" signs. Teevee media was all-the-hell-over the TEA Party. Sister Sarah and the odd Glenn Beck embraced the TEAs early, Fox News became the [...]

Fair And Balanced Morons

September 22, 2011

The Fox News network exists to advance the interests of America's rich. As such, Fox has joined itself at the hip with the political party who only represents the interests of those same rich….the Republican Party. Over the last three years it's been increasingly more difficult for the disinformers at Fox to make a convincing [...]

Class Warfare?

September 19, 2011

Chart data information from the Congressional Budget Office…. I want everyone to take a slow hard look at those two charts. The richest 1% of Americans have done outrageously well over the last 30 years, and especially so over the last 20 years. The rest of Americans, however, have either seen their incomes flatline, or [...]

Rick And Rubio

August 26, 2011

Sounds like a sitcom title….Rick and Rubio, premiering next fall,…or maybe not. Governor Rick Perry of the Lonesome State of Texas is a throwback. You know, gunslinging, horse riding, boot-wearing, West Texas-drawling kind of a Cowpoke. He ain't like them slickster guys in the northeast….not Governor Rick. Governor Rick is an all-in kind of guy….. [...]

Dishonest Corporate Tools

August 19, 2011

The stunt known as the "super committee" of 12 congressional figures, 6 from each political party, has been purposely designed by both sides to avoid party and lawmaker responsibility for passing legislation which a wide majority of American citizens do not want passed. That's what bipartisan has come to mean. Passing stuff the electorate is [...]

We're All Corporations Now

August 14, 2011

One of John McCain's most embarrassing moments during his 2008 presidential run was when he stood in front of a microphone while commenting on the conflict between Russia and the former Soviet state of Georgia…. McCain said….. "that I know I speak for every American when I say….today, we are all Georgians.'' Pure political silliness [...]
