According to the majority of the American “press,” Obama’s Magical Mystery Tour was met was fawning, adoring fans everywhere he went. Oh, they just FLOCKED to him, didn’t they? Especially in Berlin - oh, yes, never mind the free food and two hottest rock bands in Berlin playing first, they were there to see HIM!! […]

Obama and his minions are planning on staging some political deja vu by preventing Hillary’s name from being put into nomination, much in the same way Obama forced out Alice Palmer. Seems he feels he can only win elections if he runs unopposed. Not surprising, considering his enormous lack of experience and a resume thinner […]

I have read quite a few articles of Outrage since the deliberately sexist press and revoltingly smarmy Chosen thug candidate have heretofore succeeded in the Doing In of Hillary Clinton and the ongoing insulting onslaught upon her nearly 18,000,000 supporters that the party someone thinks they can win an election without. But nothing I have […]

Dear Senator Obama:
I’m very upset by recent statements you have made about funding education by “postponing” elements of the space program. Let me tell you why this is a very ill-advised position.
1. It makes you look like an idiot.
If you do indeed postpone Orion by five years, you have effectively killed it. The […]

Want to take a walk down memory lane? Here’s a copy of an email from July 2004 that illustrates the Pentagon’s effort to shape U.S. public opinion about Iraq using a select group of military analysts to manipulate public opinion. Pat Lang and I wrote about this two years ago. The New […]

“For the oppressors, what is worthwhile is to have more—always more—even at the cost of the oppressed having less or having nothing. For them, to be is to have and to be the class of the ‘haves.’”
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
Finally, the truth is seeping out. Contrary to how President George W. […]

From the Seattle Times, which has been doing an investigative series on no-bid contracts and earmarks, “Lawmakers play favorites; local merchant loses out“:
Doug Hoschek sells the Army’s elite Special Forces a T-shirt that resists burning — a feature that can save the lives of soldiers under fire.
He wanted to sell his creation to the Marines, […]

Keith Olbermann, once again, demonstrates why he is our Edward Murrow. A voice of reason, truth, and conscience. The execrable letter that Under Secretary of Defense Eric Edelman sent to Senator Clinton accusing her of helping “enemy” propagandists by merely asking about withdrawal contingency plans. Well fuck you very much […]

Let’s talk about anything, including things not political. But, first, I just spotted this by Eternal Hope:
McCaskill, Webb call for war profiteering investigations
Senators Claire McCaskill and James Webb have called for the formation of an independent commission to investigate war profiteering in this country. The effort would be similar to one that was formed by […]

Today’s release of the unclassified summary of the National Intelligence Estimate, Terrorist Threat to the US Homeland, is a black eye for the Bush Administration propaganda campaign that Iraq is making America safer. Despite White House efforts to persuade the public that we are vanquishing Al Qaeda, the intelligence community sees things […]
