The Son-in-law Senator from Wisconsin

February 23rd, 2012 · 1 Comment · Capitalism, Economics, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes, The Budget

The nice thing about “stupid” is that you don’t have to make anything up or manipulate anything or try to exaggerate anything…stupid is as stupid does. Rarely, however, do public men who are so stupid that you wonder how they can tie their shoes allow their stupidity to show up in the clear, bright glare [...]

Nazi Is Not Always a Bad Word.

March 28th, 2011 · Comments Off · Politics, wars and militarism

Not if it is used as a warning. Not if it describes a group out to get you. Not if it is the truth. When would we call someone a Nazi? Well, it is done all the time by those who don’t really mean it and have no basis for saying it. But when it [...]

September 1st, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Lobbying, Media, Politics, taxes

Part II — Who is telling all those lies…and why? They met on the mall in Washington, that renowned place for great assemblies. They were baby-boomers and beyond and overwhelmingly white. (Maybe when you call a Liberal African-American President, raised by white grandparents a ‘racist” as Glenn Beck did, you may turn away people of [...]

The Grand Illusion

August 30th, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Culture, Lobbying, Media, Politics

Part I – Looming disaster and how we got here The Tea Party Movement is neither a movement nor has it anything to do with the traditions of freedom represented by the American Revolution.

Open Letter to Tea Party: Take a Hard Left Turn

July 27th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Capitalism, Culture, Health Care, Politics, Populism, taxes, Wall Street, wars and militarism

Sarah in Wonderland with the Mad Hatter

May 25th, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Media, Politics

Tea Bags and Right Wing Liars
