Enthusiasm Gap This

February 2, 2012

Palm Beach Post, January 17, 2012….. Florida Republicans say the latest voter registration and absentee ballot figures point to a GOP enthusiasm advantage over Democrats heading into the 2012 presidential election. The election "enthusiasm gap" talk is a relatively new entry in the game of bullsh*t played by the Very Serious People every 2 years. [...]

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 [...]

Gitmo Now For U.S. Citizens

December 2, 2011

Agreement between congressional Republicans and Democrats, authentic bipartisanship, is rarely witnessed today. But there is one part of U.S. policy where the D's and the R's completely agree. Endless war and indefinite detention…even of U.S citizens. Yesterday the Senate passed a $662 billion defense bill 93-7. Nothing passes the Senate by such a wide margin [...]

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.

Libya's Oil Finally Liberated

October 21, 2011

All About The VP Pick

September 23, 2011

I watched about 20 minutes of the Freakathon known as the Google-Fox GOP presidential candidates "debate" last night. All I could stand to watch was 20 minutes. The Reverend's take after 3 GOP debates….. It appears as if the GOP now has a two person race. Mitt Romney versus Rick Perry. The RealClearPolitics.com site has [...]

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….

Another War Not About Oil

March 18, 2011

Remember how invading the sovereign nation of Iraq in 2003 had nothing to do with Iraq's huge oil reserves? Nothing whatsoever. Once the WMD-in-Iraq bullsh*t meter pegged out….the reason for attacking a nation which posed no threat to the United States became clearer. You see, what Iraq was always about was the Iraqi people. Freeing [...]

Shouting "Fire" In A Theater

January 12, 2011

Back in 1919, Oliver Wendell Holmes, associate Supreme Court Justice, made this saying popular…..
