Don't Tread On Me

June 30, 2010

Readers of this blog know that I have very little respect or admiration for America's corporate media. At the same time, I also realize that nothing is always black or always white. Fox News, for example, at times, does report some truth in with their non-stop advocacy for the Republican Party. Chris Matthews, of MSNBC's [...]

Drones, Activist Judges And "Tools"

June 29, 2010

Do you know what's in more demand than Apples' newest I-Phone? Drones. Everybody wants one….needs one. They're all the rage. Tornado researchers want to send them into storms to gather data. Energy companies want to use them to monitor pipelines. State police hope to send them up to capture images of speeding cars' license plates. [...]

Turning A Recession Into A Depression

June 28, 2010

Paul Krugman, November 19, 2009…. It’s one thing to be intimidated by bond market vigilantes. It’s another to be intimidated by the fear that bond market vigilantes might show up one of these days, even though you’re currently able to sell long-term bonds at an interest rate of less than 3.5%. Yet that, according to [...]

Pre-emptive Lunacy

June 12, 2010

The wife and I are headed to Wrightsville Beach, N. Carolina today. We will be gone for a week…..without a computer. I know. That's just crazy. I might sneak off to an internet cafe to post something…..we'll see. I kinda, sorta promised to stay offline for the whole week, but the withdrawal pangs may cause [...]

Bizarre U.S. Behavior

June 4, 2010

The U.S. corporate media was noticeably muted yesterday about the Israeli terrorist raid on a Turkish humanitarian aid-carrying flotilla late Sunday. A raid in which Israeli soldiers murdered at least 9 unarmed passengers (at least one American) after having commandeered the flotilla, illegally, while it was in international waters. That's how the U.S. media and [...]

Israel…..Foolishly Out Of Control

June 1, 2010

Sometimes a sentence is more than words…. "Where knowledge is limited, and the desire to learn the complex reality doesn’t exist, public opinion can be shaped by whoever generates the most powerful symbols." That sentence was written to describe the foolish and brutal action by Israel Sunday as Israeli commandos illegally boarded a Turkish humanitarian [...]

From the NY Times….. The top American commander in the Middle East has ordered a broad expansion of clandestine military activity in an effort to disrupt militant groups or counter threats in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and other countries in the region, according to defense officials and military documents. The secret directive, signed in September [...]

Obama Disappoints Again

May 10, 2010

Barack Obama's campaign theme as he ran for president was "change we can believe in." He delivered that message in a compelling fashion and tens of millions of Americans responded. After Obama was elected by a clear mandate from the American people, an incoherent, angry astroturf far right movement developed. The Tea Party was born. [...]

"Self-Radicalized"

December 28, 2009

If a prominent national event happens…..the arrogant, narcissistic chump Joe Lieberman, of the Lieberman-4-Lieberman Party, usually runs to stand in front of the nearest Fox camera. Recently, during the buildup to the Senate vote on health care reform, Holy Joe was as pleased as he could be with himself for making himself the center of [...]

Very Disappointing

December 11, 2009

What if The Reverend, at the end of 2009, were to start defending the George W. Bush presidency? That would be quite a turnabout, wouldn't it? Pigs will fly, of course, before I would even consider doing anything so irresponsible. However, for President Barack Obama….defending the George W. Bush presidency is becoming a full time [...]
