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. [...]

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 [...]

The Super Freedom & Democracy Bowl

January 31, 2012

According to Wikipedia, the United States has 413 billionaires. The world's total number is 1210. The U.S. Supremes have ruled that money equals free speech and that free speech, understood as spending money on political advertisements, cannot be limited by government. That is our new national paradigm…at least until the whole enterprise comes apart at [...]

Lamestream Media Victimizes Newt

January 20, 2012

Once again, another GOP presidential candidates "debate". CNN…again. Transcript. CNN's John King, once a promising young reporter, now simply another Village idiot pretending to be a reporter, began the politico-drama last night by bringing up one of Newt Gingrich's ex-wives. CNN, just like every corporate media outlet today, feigns objectivity. CNN knows…because they are oh-so-in-touch….that [...]

A Class Warfare Election

December 28, 2011

Writing about Mitt Romney in Esquire, the excellent Charles Pierce had this to say…. He (Romney) is really the only true class warrior in the race. He's counting on prejudice and ignorance because he is running in the Republican primaries and that's the coin of the realm. But he's also counting on the desperate dreams [...]

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 [...]

The 60's-70's…And Now

November 18, 2011

I haven't commented much on Occupy Wall Street because I didn't have much of anything to say about it. There were a lot of protests during the 1960's and 1970's. Many were anti-Vietnam War protests. Many, many people turned out for those protests. But those protests didn't end the war, just like the huge anti-Iraq [...]

The Tale Of Two Protests

October 7, 2011

Back in the early goings of 2009, corporate media loved themselves some TEA Party. The hanging teabags. The Mel Gibson Patriot rent-a-costumes. The "don't tread on me" flags. The "taxed enough already" signs. Teevee media was all-the-hell-over the TEA Party. Sister Sarah and the odd Glenn Beck embraced the TEAs early, Fox News became the [...]

You Don't Say

Watching True Grit from outdoor video projector a few weeks back at family members lakehouse. Picture was taken with Droid X Motorola cell phone, no flash. ____________ The Reverend, June 20, 2011… No matter how often you hear the Serious and the Professionals go on and on about how essential it is right now to [...]
