I Feel Rachel’s Pain

by Propagandee January 9, 2010

On her show Thursday night, Rachel Madow interviewed Mother Jones correspondent David Corn (two of my favorite people). The tag line describing the clip above, “Lack of an honest opposition lamentable”, while accurately describing the content, doesn’t come close to capturing the depth of the problem they address.
Lamentable means “bad, unfortunate.” As I read [...]

Afutilestan (VII): The Great Game Revisted

by Propagandee December 5, 2009

President Obama demonstrating the logic of his Afghanistan policy
Geography is destiny, Napoleon is reported to have said.
I began to appreciate that political truism early on, thanks to marathon games of  Risk I  played as a kid.  According to Wikipedia, Risk was originally released in France in 1957, as La Conquête du Monde—The Conquest of the [...]

Sarah Palin Meets The Matrix

by Propagandee November 27, 2009

Proving you don’t need to know how to read a book to write one
When a nation becomes unmoored from reality, it retreats into a world of magic. Facts are accepted or discarded according to the dictates of a preordained cosmology. The search for truth becomes irrelevant. Our national discourse is dominated by manufactured events, from [...]

Afutilestan (III)

by Propagandee October 30, 2009

Afghanistan opium poppies waiting to be transformed into weapons to kill Americans

As President Obama continues his deliberations about what the hell to do about Afghanistan, this week saw a lot of fuel thrown onto the fire:

The number of US troops killed hit an all time monthly high.
The [...]

Schadenfrude On Steroids

by Propagandee October 7, 2009

Americans For Progress conferees erupt in cheers at news that the USA lost the Olympics
Last January, Rush Limpbot declared he wanted President Obama to fail. He rightly got a lot of heat for it, including from traditional conservatives desperately clinging to the illusion that their brand hasn’t been hijacked by wingnut/dittoheads who put [...]

Sen. Inhofe: They’re Coming To Take You Away

by Propagandee September 4, 2009

Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe announced this week that he won’t even read let alone sign whatever health care reform bill emerges from the Senate.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) has told a town hall meeting that he doesn’t need to read legislation on healthcare reform or to know any details of what’s in it, he will [...]

Is Goldman Sachs Losing It?

by Propagandee July 11, 2009

Back in March, I wrote:
From the Wall Street/DC Axis of Evil, the Treasury Department– oh hell, let’s just call it what it is: a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs– will announce tomorrow its plan to further reward the very people who brought down the country’s financial system and by extension, the world’s.
Matt Taiibi has [...]

Godzilla From Wasilla Meets The Texas Outlaw

by Propagandee July 7, 2009

More than once in my travels in Alaska, people brought up, without prompting, the question of Palin’s extravagant self-regard. Several told me, independently of one another, that they had consulted the definition of “narcissistic personality disorder” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—“a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for [...]

Funambulist In Chief

by Propagandee June 25, 2009

President Obama’s balancing act
Despite receiving a thumbs up from a number of conservative foreign policy observers, and the public at large, for his handling of the current Iranian domestic turmoil, the wingers seem to have settled on a narrative that President Obama has been too timid in his response to same.
It was a theme dutifully [...]

Terrified Beyond The Capacity For Rational Thought (Updated)

by Propagandee April 25, 2009

(Click for maximum gross-out.)
Newt Gingrich as the avenging Sumerian god, Gozer the Traveler
In their devastating November 4th defeat at the hands of an inexperienced, junior senator from Illinois, the Rethuglicans are in desperate search of a leader, someone that can match the intelligence, boldness, charm, and overwhelming popularity of Barack Hussein Obama. While their own [...]

Their Days Of Freedom Are Numbered

by Michael Hart April 23, 2009

Right now, Dick and George may still be enjoying their fun in the sun, barbecuing kittehs; but those days are numbered.

The chances they’ll be arrested and charged with war crimes are growing stronger every day. . .

Because people are starting to understand the things they said. . .

“Let’s roll,” indeed.

Torture In Context

by Propagandee April 22, 2009

Demonstrating an “enhanced interrogation technique”
In 1999, Bush’s family biographer, Mickey Herskowitz, reports that W. told him he was intent on invading Iraq, saying that his status as a war time president would give him enough political capital to push through his conservative domestic agenda.
(That would include the privatization of social security whose blood rich corpse [...]

Judge Bybee Update: NY Times Calls For Impeachment

by Propagandee April 19, 2009

Judge Bybee wearing missing part of his judge’s robe
The NY Times has an editorial today calling for the impeachment of Judge Jay “Dungeon Master” ByBee:
To read the four newly released memos on prisoner interrogation written by George W. Bush’s Justice Department is to take a journey into depravity. Their language is the precise bureaucratese favored [...]

NEVER FORGET.

by Michael Hart January 27, 2009

Now that Bush the War Criminal President has been sequestered behind the federally funded gate on the dead end street in Preston Hollow or whatever the fuck the place is called, conservative revisionists are hard at work trying to erase the reality of the last eight years. And the good toads who were paid to wrap Teh Chimp in pleasing graphics during his campaigns hate to see their good gravy dry up, so they’re marketing a bunch of useless crap to squeeze whatever blood they can out of the 22 percenters who are teh stoopid enough to buy it.

Oh, By The Way. . .

by Terry January 17, 2009

Bush shorter . . . and worser . . . and eviler . . . than you ever imagined.
(Even worse than the clip right below this one, because more of it will sink in.)
