Post-Reality America

July 15, 2010

Okay. The strategy has been clear for over a year and a half. Erase reality. Never allow reality to see the light of day, at least not from mass corporate media sources. Feature the 'controversy', never explain what is true and what isn't. Air as often as possible the wildest statements from the farthest-right conservative [...]

Kyl's Gaffe

July 13, 2010

If a political gaffe today is when a politician accidentally speaks the truth…then this qualifies. Senator John Kyl (R-AZ) on Sunday… "You do need to offset the cost of increased spending, and that's what Republicans object to. But you should never have to offset cost of a deliberate decision to reduce tax rates on Americans." [...]

GOP Alternative? Same One Trick Pony

April 2, 2009

Last week we were treated to a Laugh-a-thon emceed by John Boehner(R-OH), in which Ohio's Tanned Bonehead lifted up a blue folder and said, "here it is Mr. President." The GOP House minority leader was holding up a non-budget, budget….which included NO numbers, projections, or deficits. A pre-emptive non-budget, budget, as it were…..quite an alternative. [...]

Hoping Obama Fails

March 4, 2009

UPDATED below. Just what does it mean when radio host Rush Limbaugh, and now many others, say they hope Obama fails? What does that mean? And what would it look like, if indeed, Obama failed? Is "hoping for Obama failure" the same as hoping for American failure? And if it is….is it treasonous to root [...]

12 American Solutions For Jobs & Prosperity

March 2, 2009

I have always thought that Newt Gingrich was a bit odd. I thought his Contract With America plan in the 90's was pure corporate-friendly puffball showboating. The Gingrich-led 1994 takeover of Congress quickly went to Newt's head like a good bong hit….leading his self-pumped ego to threaten Bill Clinton, a popular president, with a shutdown [...]

Why Knee Pad Teevee Can't Be Honest

February 7, 2009

Media Matters documents daily, and to the letter, the Knee Pad Media's atrocities. I recommend to everyone at least a weekly review of their site. It's full of hard hitting and undeniable evidence of the media's bias towards the powerful and against the interests of average Americans. I've already written about the number of Republicans [...]

Losers Insist On Their Policies

January 26, 2009

All the Villagers have banded together once again to worship their non-existent god…bipartisanship. Fearing that a successful "New, New Deal" from Obama and the Democratic Congressional majority will relegate GOP'ers to the dustbin of irrelevancy for a generation…..Villagers and conservative usual suspects everywhere are religiously chanting their magic obstructionistic word, bipartisanship. To listen to the [...]

Trillion Dollar Deficits

January 8, 2009

Soon-to-be president Barack Obama, facing the worst national economic conditions in over 60 years, said two days ago that chances were high that the U.S. would face “trillion-dollar deficits for years to come.” I'm not going to plumb the depths of Republican dominated economic policies in recent years that have left us with such dim [...]
