Rolling Out New Products

September 2, 2009

"From a marketing point of view, you don't introduce new products in August."
That's what Bush Chief of Staff Andrew Card said of a very special marketing campaign launched in September, 2002. A marketing campaign, a selling campaign….to convince Congress and the American people that invading and occupying a country which did not pose a [...]

Not Death Panels, Just The Grim Reaper

August 23, 2009

Charles Krauthammer, writing about end-of-life counseling, also known as 'Obama's attempt to kill old people'……. from today's Beacon…..
It's just that we (those favoring offering end-of-life counseling reimbursed by Medicare) want the doctors to talk to you about putting in place a living will and other such instruments. Really? Then consider the actual efficacy of a [...]

CNN Propaganda

July 8, 2009

CrooksandLiars.com did a piece yesterday on CNN's Dana Bash. Bash did a CNN report on Canadian health care. The perspective the CNN reporter took was the same as Republican Mitch McConnell's……and I might add, the same that many far right commenters have repeated on the Blog of Mass Destruction.
The Bash piece attempted to focus on [...]

Whining Is The New Patriotism

June 26, 2009

The far right in American politics often talks about how hard-working and responsible it's members are. This extreme element, that is now dominating the Republican Party, is represented by a radio talk show celebrity, a Mr. Limbaugh. Each day Mr. Limbaugh repeats his monosyllabic message to his faithful, and mostly all white and male, listening [...]

U.S. Media: Terrorist Sympathizers?

June 10, 2009

I've already blogged about the anti-abortion, domestic terrorism groups in the United States and how terrorist acts by those groups are defended by a radical minority of devoutly religious evangelicals, and a handful of media jihadist-apologists.
Scott Roeder, the domestic terrorist, after years of domestic terrorist activity, pre-meditatively stalked, then assassinated Dr. Tiller in Kansas, [...]

Memorial Day Blues

May 25, 2009

A hypocritical nation, it would seem to me, would be a nation that goes through the symbolic motions, once a year, of remembering those who have given their lives in defense of their nation…..while the rest of the year it supports and defends the reckless endangering of the lives of those very soldiers.
The most responsible [...]

Pelosi: The New WMD

May 16, 2009

As the country was being deceptively propagandized by the Bush administration during 2002 and early 2003, the focus of the propaganda boiled down to Saddam Hussein's alleged possession of dangerous weapons. WMD. The Bush administration pushed the WMD message repeatedly. Chemical and biological weapons……mobile weapons labs….smoking gun mushroom clouds…..nuclear program….it was a constant drumbeat.
But that [...]

The Village of the Damned

April 25, 2009

Right on time, just like clockwork, comes David "Centrist" Broder, praising Obama and Rahm Emmanuel for stating that there should be no prosecutions of those who carried out the torturing of detainees….and then going on to demonstrate why he is the Dean of the Village of the Damned….
"But now Obama is being lobbied by politicians [...]

The Reverend Praises Fox News

April 16, 2009

King dove off the deep end the other day in responding to the Department of Homeland Security report citing far-right extremist dangers. I wanted to post something in response to King's rather conspiratorial comprehension of that report……but instead,…..I'm going to let Fox News do my blogging for me this time. That's right, no typo…..freaking Fox [...]

Jim Cramer's Expertise, Ike and Obama

March 6, 2009

Ten years ago, I watched CNBC quite often. All those charts and numbers and analysts and financial experts….wow, what a bunch of cerebral genuises (new band name?). Rick Santelli, before he became the financial sector's Joe the Plumber, would give the bond market report each morning. The scene behind him was always a clusterf*ck [...]
