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.

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
