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, [...]

Boehner's TEA House

December 19, 2011

Elections matter. Nowhere has that been more apparent than in the House that Boehner built. The House of Tea. While discouraged progressives and moderates stayed home November, 2010….the TEAs rallied in hatred of all things Democratic, all things Obama…and took back the House of Representatives. The TEAs did it fair and square. They deserve a [...]

Insane Train Rolls On

November 29, 2011

There were many on the conservative side who berated President Obama when he refused to make public his long form birth certificate from Hawaii. Obama, from the beginning, had made his short form Hawaiian birth certificate public for all to see. But Obama is black and has a funny name for a U.S. politician…and he [...]

Lying To Protect The Rich

November 28, 2011

Arizona Senator Jon Kyl's retirement next year is welcomed heartily by The Reverend. On tax cuts…. "The payroll tax holiday has not stimulated job creation. We do not think that is a great way to do it," Kyl said on "Fox News Sunday." Months ago I wrote about the selective nature of Republican tax cuts. [...]

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 [...]

200 To 1

November 21, 2011

200 to 1. That was the final offer to Democrats from Republican members of the Super Committee. $200 in spending cuts for every $1 in new revenues. Take it or leave it. As of this morning….everyone is leaving it. The task of the 12 member Super Committee was to make the "tough" decisions that the [...]

New Clown Driving GOP Clown Car

November 15, 2011

I give the new 2011 teevee comedy series 4 stars for it's sharp, though often unintended, humor. What teevee comedy series? The GOP primary campaign. I'm talking about some exceptionally funny stuff. It seems as if the Republican Party has decided this year that each and every candidate in the primary automatically receives a complimentary [...]

November 11, 2011

Proving that Ohio's SB5 was always about crushing unions, conservative sore losers in the state have quickly regrouped and announced a new plan to…..crush unions. A new group called Ohioans for Workplace Freedom announced Thursday it is working to collect at least 386,000 valid signatures to get the measure on the ballot, possibly as soon [...]

The No Self Awareness Debate

November 10, 2011

There they were again. The 8 irrelevant GOP presidential candidates. There they were being asked questions last night by the pimps for Wall Street from CNBC. Quite remarkable, really. Jim Cramer, a man who worked for Goldman before he became a screeching nut for CNBC, was there asking questions of presidential candidates. Cramer is the [...]

Ohioans Punch Back

November 9, 2011

Ohio Governor John Kasich's union-busting Issue 2 has gone down in flames. By a 61%-39% margin, voters rejected Ohio Republicans attempt to pin state revenue shortfalls during a deep recession on unionized teachers, police, firefighters and other state public employees. The question now remains: Will this humiliating defeat for John Kasich lead to a change [...]
