Satan On The Hill

In a rare moment of demonic candor, characteristically angry and frustrated Christian icon, Satan, lashed out at a Fox news crew on Capital Hill today:

FACE TO FACE

by Terry January 29, 2010

And after listening to several grown Republican men whine about Nancy Pelosi, it’s abundantly clear who the real pussies are on Capital Hill. Poor things!

Epiphanies

by Terry January 28, 2010

Yes, even insufferable wags can have genuine epiphanies. So when Chris Matthews thinks he has one on the air and shares it with the rest of us, it’s worth examining if for no other reason than to see if it can help us have one, too.

It’s Not Racism When THEY Do it

by Michael Hart October 19, 2009

Late last week, Democratic-leaning pollster Stan Greenberg released a focus group study showing that conservative GOP base voters live in an alternative universe of their own political paranoia. In this world, President Obama is ruthlessly advancing a secret agenda to ruin — yes, ruin — the economy so he can impose socialism upon the United States and destroy the core civil liberties of American democracy. And in this covert crusade, Obama is no more than a frontman for unseen interests aiming to annihilate the United States.

Put The Pedal To The Medal

by Michael Hart October 10, 2009

A toast! To the remarkable pace of change, hidden in the maelstrom.

THE SAME PEOPLE who told us that John McCain won his debates with Barack Obama are now embarrassed and outraged that Europeans have recognized the United States has a leader who is changing the world, one little bit at time.  And the RW gasbags [...]

The Religion of Nice

by Terry September 8, 2009

So here we are, wallowing in our dysfunction. Governed — if you listen to the rabble rousers — by a black nationalist from Kenya smuggled into the United States to kill Sarah Palin’s baby. And yes, I could almost buy their belief that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, only I think he shipped them to Washington, where they’ve been recycled as lobbyists and trained in the alchemy of money laundering, which turns an old-fashioned bribe into a First Amendment right.

Dog Whistling Racist Violence

by Propagandee August 7, 2009

The source of the problem?  Lizard Brain is diagnosed by unusually thick cranium and remarkable subcutaneous fat layer; trapped, terrified lizard is always symptomatic.
As Jacques Ellul points out in his classic 1964 book, Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes, propaganda cannot create something out of nothing. The human mind is not an empty vessel in [...]

The Teachable Moment Goes Down

by Terry July 31, 2009

The “teachable moment” promised by president Obama which the hapless MSM dubbed teh Beer Summit has gone into the history books without so much as a footnoted burp. Fortunately— or not— some press monkey was thoughtful enough to bring a parabolic mike to the sidelines where the White House corralled the press core after an initial mingle moment, and has produced this remarkable transcript of the event.

Brain Damage

by Propagandee June 7, 2009

Poor Whoopi Goldberg must have thought she was having an acid flashback while listening to her co-host on The View, Elisabeth Hasslebeck rail on about Barack Obama’s failure to even mention the word “democracy” during his 55 minute speech at Cairo University last week. Not only did Obama mention the word numerous times, he even [...]

Saved By Zeros

by Terry June 6, 2009

The Republican Party is rife with Zeros these days. The nine nincompoops above are just a random gaggle selected from the dozens and dozens of them pining to spend time in the GOPper boxes of national leadership-ness-ness. The assortment of war criminals, gas bags, elderly has-beens, living and dead, and a burgeoning bunch of weiner wanna-bees will continue to plague the nation until the electorate relegates them to the slag-heap of history.

Evolution Of Wingnut Deception Routines

by Propagandee June 2, 2009

“Look out behind you!” – An ancestral Rethuglican deception ploy

The ability of primates to deceive a perceived competitor for access to resources or mates conferred obvious survival advantages on those who mastered it.
So successful were the results that their victims had to develop effective countermeasures. In time, they evolved the ability to detect physiological clues– [...]

The Christian Obama Nation

by Michael Hart May 11, 2009

Are we “One” yet?  Click and see.
Friend Quaker Dave writes, “We have become what it is we claim to fear.”

Rather:  We have always been and still are what we claim we hate.
And that is a people that continue to justify the torture and murder of other human beings in the name of— whatever.
If America really [...]

The Party Of Zero

by Michael Hart April 3, 2009

The infamous “Boner Memorial,” a controversial sculpture eulogizing the demise of the Republican Party of the late twentieth century, will be moved next week to a private museum dedicated to significant political anachronisms. Carved in 2020, the sculpture depicts the de facto leader of the Republican party in it’s death throes, Congressman John Boehner of Ohio.
