Stunt Team At Standard & Poor's

April 19, 2011

Yesterday morning there was a political stunt pulled by the financial ratings agency, Standard & Poor's. S&P didn't actually downgrade the AAA credit rating of the U.S. government as several teevee talkers hysterically claimed, instead they "downgraded their outlook" of the credit worthiness of the U.S. government from "neutral" to "negative." The S&P said the [...]

"Come On, Come On, We're Together"

April 13, 2011

What if Osama Bin Laden's jihadist group had their own flag? And what if many Americans proudly raised that jihadist flag in celebratory fashion each year around September? What's more…..what if tens of thousands of southern-state Americans pasted a decal of that jihadist flag onto their pick-em-up truck bumpers or framed their license plates with [...]

April 9, 2011

For the second time in less than 4 months, Republican officials have agreed to release hostages in return for ransom demands. Late last evening, Speaker Boehner went before cameras and announced that his thuggish band of Young Guns would release the 5 million American women they have been threatening to deny access to reproductive health [...]

The Radicalization Of The Kings

March 12, 2011

On January 20, 2011, I blogged about a domestic terrorism attempt on MLK Day in Spokane, Washington. Embarassingly, I stated in that blog that the attempted bombing happened in Seattle. The domestic terrorist who authorities say planted a "weapon of mass destruction" backpack bomb along the MLK Day parade route in Spokane has now been [...]

WalkerBack, Wisconsin

February 19, 2011

As with all events, there are now two wildly different narratives out there explaining what's happening in Wisconsin. In one of these two narratives, Governer Walker's Wisconsin is buried under mountains of debt. The debt is so bad, goes this narrative, that dealing with it is a dire emergency which the new Tea Party governor [...]

Anti-America America

February 11, 2011

Is it possible that the United States population is moving ever-so-closer to actually rejecting America? I realize that sounds like an odd question. I mean, how could America be anti-America? Right? Let's consider two situations/events which I believe illustrate how America could be rejecting America. The first is the ongoing saga of Guantanomo. The illegal, [...]

Republicans Dance Because Of Fear

January 19, 2011

Why are House Republicans pressing the issue of repealing health care reform legislation when they surely know their efforts will fail? The answer is found in two words….Tea Party. The House Republicans are going through the motions to repeal health care reform purely for the Tea Party Puppet Theater value, as it were. Tea Partiers [...]

Rwanda Radio

January 15, 2011

In the early 90's some 800,000 Rwandans were slaughtered in acts of violence. The violence was classified as genocidal acts in that the minority Tutsis were targeted for elimination by the Hutus. Maybe you've seen the movie Hotel Rwanda, starring the capable actor, Don Cheadle. It's worth the viewing. Here is a very detailed and [...]

The Consequences Of Words

January 14, 2011

I'll have more to say later about the perpetrator of the Tucson massacre. For now…..conservatives have been correct this week in pointing out that there is no evidence that Jared Loughner had any truck with Tea Party groups in Arizona nor that he was directly influenced by Foxian rhetoric or Sarah Palin crosshair maps. Having [...]
