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 [...]

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 [...]

Keeping The Press Safe

November 25, 2011

It should be transparent to anyone who has been paying attention….but I'll say it anyway…. the United States is descending further into an authoritarian militarized country which features separate and distinct forms of justice for the haves…and the have-nots. The haves….have unfettered and unquestioned rights. Their money is, in actuality, free speech. Their corporations pay [...]

Libya's Oil Finally Liberated

October 21, 2011

The Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has been killed. The Anglo war led by NATO against the dictator has been successful in it's objective: regime change. Although the U.S. president told us that regime change was not the objective when he announced the U.S. involvement in the effort….that was the objective all along….just as in Iraq. [...]

Standard-To-Poor

August 6, 2011

The role of ratings agencies in the mortgage meltdown…. The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission reported in January 2011 that: "The three credit rating agencies were key enablers of the financial meltdown. The mortgage-related securities at the heart of the crisis could not have been marketed and sold without their seal of approval. Investors relied on [...]

Catfood Or Caliphate….

August 5, 2011

In an American era when what voters want has absolutely no meaning,…carries no weight whatsoever….almost anything can happen. Our overlords have just agreed to permit Congress to appoint a 12 member Patsy Committee to take the blame for cutting Social Security and Medicare. No new taxes, of course, will be considered……and no tax loophole closings [...]

"A Hostage Worth Ransoming"

August 4, 2011

I've taken a lot of guff from my more conservative readers about using "hostage taking" language to describe the Republican approach to governance. But now those criticisms of The Reverend's take on our illustrious conservative cult can be put to rest…. Senate Minority leader, Mitch McConnell…. "I think some of our members may have thought [...]

"Drowning In Debt?" Maybe Not

July 30, 2011

If your debt servicing costs (interest payments) amounted to 1.6% of your total monthly take home pay, would you be panicked over it? Not likely, right? Then why is it that so many Villagers, Partiers and GOP Thieves officials are oh-so-hysterical over the interest the federal government is currently paying on it's national debt? 1.6% [...]

Enemies Of The People

June 1, 2011

In theory, political parties are supposed to represent constituents….the "for the people" part of our democracy. In the U.S. we have two major political parties, neither of whom represent the citizens of our country. Case in point is the disgustingly corrupt vote taken yesterday in the GOP-Tea House of Representatives. House Republicans brought a bill [...]

What 4th Amendment?

May 17, 2011

I was interested in my blog bud's recent post chastising Indiana Supreme Court members for ruling that citizens in Indiana "have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes." In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason [...]
