    Random Recitals

    The main mark of modern governments is that we do not know who governs, de facto any more than de jure. We see the politician and not his backer; still less the backer of the backer; or, what is most important of all, the banker of the backer.

    Republicans Need to be Careful What They Say

    It is nice to see mainstream media calling out a Republican politician on the faux criticism of President Obama’s speech today to school children. David Sirota is quite outraged by this and the Van Jones fiasco as we all should be.

    The Wall Street Journal (a paper btw I stopped reading in the 1990’s because of its horrible coverage of [...]

    How Come Cindy Didn’t Help Her Out Instead?

Just this video makes me want to barf and angry (yes angry Fox propagandists, oh my!) that we don’t have a government that properly regulates this trash. Fox has the legal right to espouse their views but without a competitive mix of major networks and media outlets throughout the country, there is [...]
