I Got Your "Heavy Lift" Right Here

October 16, 2009

Some stuff about the media I've been pondering. For the last week I've been tormenting myself by listening to AM radio while driving. Don't ask me why. I admit, it's been awhile since I tuned AM. What I've been hearing, while not shocking, is still depressing. Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh are all [...]

Health Care Reform Debate: Just Starting

October 13, 2009

I've purposely avoided writing very much about the alleged debate allegedly going on over health care reform. As I see it, up til now, we haven't been debating anything. However, now with President Max Baucus' (D-MT) immaculately-conceived version of health reform coming up for a vote today in his Senate Finance Committee, we're getting closer [...]

The Nobel Peace Prize

October 10, 2009

I must say that I really haven't been surprised by the response of conservatives and Village-whore media to President Obama's winning of the Nobel Peace Prize yesterday. From the start of his presidency it has been made clear that the main objective of Obama's instant-opposition has been to see Obama "fail." Winning a prestigious award [...]

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: Part Deux

September 29, 2009

Maybe you saw David Fluffy Gregory's interview with Bill Clinton this past weekend on Meet the Press. The Village Fluffy, always trying to keep it real, asked Clinton about that "vast right wing conspiracy"….. Fluffy…."Your wife, famously, talked about the vast right wing conspiracy targeting you. As you look at this opposition on the right [...]

A Case Study In Disinformation

September 26, 2009

In a capitalistic society like ours where even "news" is consumed according to brandname, FOX, NBC etc, just like Cheerios or Wheaties……disinformation becoming rampant, I guess, is inevitable. Today's capitalistic information providers seem to be pulling off the impossible, i.e., convincing Americans that they can have whatever facts they so desire. A kind of designer-news-and-information [...]

Busting The News

September 23, 2009

I read a good one from the associate editor of NewsBusters. NewsBusters is a creatively conservative online site usually chock full of fact-free, wingnut postings. First, a quick review… You have probably seen a video clip by now of a sting on multiple ACORN offices by Hannah Giles (playing the prostitute) and James O'Keefe (playing [...]

The Big 9, "One Piece" & Big Head Todd

September 10, 2009

Nine big health insurance companies own 76.7% of the health insurance business in America. Unitedhealth Group, WellPoint and Aetna, collectively, insure 48.3% of Americans who have private health care insurance. With Obama explaining last night his version of what a health care reform bill would look like,….including a mandate to buy health care insurance…..we can [...]

Reviewing The Rage, Part 2

August 30, 2009

On August 12, I wrote this…. The "rage" is not over government spending….or tax rates…..or deficits….or any of the flimsy excuses laid down by oh-so-serious conservatives and libertarians. The rage, the passion has been caused by the man, now the president, Barack Obama. He is a black man. He is a Democrat. And that's what [...]

Sissy-Ass Punks

August 6, 2009

Fox's Glenn Beck calling President Obama a racist.… First 60 seconds…. Beck asserts that Obama has "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture." After being reminded that Obama has numerous white staffers, Beck contradicted himself, stating, "I'm not saying that he doesn't like white people. I'm saying he has a problem," before [...]

Repeating Lies And Swearing To Them

August 5, 2009

A while ago, I blogged about what appeared to me to be the Republican strategy to counter a popular Democratic president and a firm Democratic majority in Congress…..just say a lot of crazy sh*t. From my February 24, 2009 blog post…. The current Republican members of Congress have decided to find relevancy by saying wild-eyed, [...]
