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 the bust-ups [...]

Reviewing the "Rage"

August 12, 2009

The profound wisdom of Duncan Black, aka, Atrios….
"Nobody could've predicted that electing a black man president would drive this country completely f*cking insane."

July 6, 2009

I got a kick out of the AB Journal's front page coverage today of the Canton Tea Party held on Sunday. "Hundreds", the Beacon blares out in it's headline, attended the Canton Tea-Bag Extravaganza.
Just in case you've forgotten, and I wouldn't blame you if you had, the TEA part of the parties represents Taxed [...]

April 14, 2009

Rick Santelli (CNBC)….the "average American" millionaire teevee talker who launched a thousand protest parties with a single rant,….never fully appreciated the comedic value he was adding to America's discourse when he lashed out against President Obama so crazily that fateful day…..the day the mighty 'grassroots' shot was heard 'round the world.
