Misuse of Authority

July 26, 2009

So…your key isn't working in the front doorlock when you return from your vacation. You go around back and enter your own home through the back door. Unbeknownst to you, someone walking by while you were having trouble with your front doorlock had called the police. Apparently, the passerby interpreted your struggle with your own [...]

"It Works"

July 24, 2009

There was G.Gordon Liddy on my teevee screen last night telling me that there's a deposition by Barack Obama's step-grandmother swearing that Barack was born in a Kenyan hospital or clinic. I don't know why Liddy didn't bring a copy of the deposition with him. Liddy, a convicted felon from the Watergate glory days, and [...]

"Reason"-ed Anal Openings

July 20, 2009

The Washington Post, D.C.'s premier Villager rag, gave space to Reason.com and Reason magazine's Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch on Sunday. The resultant article is a nasty hitpiece on President Obama weaving a thread equating him with Jimmy Carter…. Like (President Jimmy) Carter, Obama is smart, moralistic and enamored of alternative energy schemes that were [...]

Worried To Death About Top 1%

July 19, 2009

I had a brief conversation yesterday with a conservative relative about health care reform. The concern that my relative had over Obama's plan was that surgeons might just stop practicing surgery, or go elsewhere, if their fees were limited in any new way.

Why?

June 29, 2009

Short blog this Monday. I've been meaning to say something about what I have found to be extremely "sore-thumbish" since Obama's inauguration. Does anyone find it odd that beginning with Barack Obama's inauguration on January 20th, corporate media has spent a tremendous amount of time plumbing the depths of some imagined Republican Party comeback?

Celebrity

June 27, 2009

"Do not be a respecter of persons," the good book says, and yet being respecters of people is, by definition, how America rolls. Celebrity fame long ago became the American dream. Identifying one's life with the life of a celebrity figure has become a vicarious way of life for more and more people. American media [...]

Hopelessly Dishonest Media

June 24, 2009

The first four minutes sets the stage… Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy In the Village of the Goddamned, Republicans, no matter how far down they are in the minority, no matter how few Americans identify with their party, no matter how irrelevant or bizarre their clueless rhetoric is, [...]

A Review Of Recent Right Wing Violence

June 13, 2009

Paul Krugman on Thursday…. Today, as in the early years of the Clinton administration but to an even greater extent, right-wing extremism is being systematically fed by the conservative media and political establishment.….. And at this point, whatever dividing line there was between mainstream conservatism and the black-helicopter crowd seems to have been virtually erased. [...]

What We Need To Know

June 12, 2009

While extremists dominate our broader public discourse with some of the craziest sh*t I've ever heard….the most important issues of the day are being decided quietly, behind the scenes, without much media coverage or discussion. Carrie Prejean, former Miss Someone, was in the "news" again yesterday, not because any important news had been made, but [...]
