Badges? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Badges!

by Propagandee November 21, 2009

In his blog yesterday, The Washington establishment suffers a serious defeat, Glenzilla summarizes the significance of Thursday’s bi-partisan vote on the Paul-Grayson Bill in the House Finance Committee that calls for an audit of the Federal Reserve.
This is an effort that goes back at least 57 years when Congressman Wright Patman of the House Banking [...]

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 [...]

Frankenly Speaking

by Propagandee June 30, 2009

Well, Norm, the jokes on you

Just want to congratulate Al Franken not only for his hard won victory per today’s MN Supreme Court ruling; but for the political class he has showed during the whole sorry-ass, post-election ordeal. Hard to think of another US senator, let alone a rookie, who has been the target of [...]

Torture In Context: Update 3 3/4

by Propagandee May 14, 2009

Since my April 22 post, Torture In Context, I’ve noticed a number of people pursuing the same logical conclusion from slightly different angles: The reverse engineered SERE torture resistance training used on various al Qaeda captives was not designed to produce actionable intelligence but to elicit false [...]

Bush sinks the economic ship of state. Obama launches the life rafts, piloted by Wall Street insiders Timmeh Geithner and Larry Summers. But the sharks (hedge funds, private equity firms) are circling and there’s lots [...]

Our National Nutsack

by Michael Hart April 26, 2009

Isn’t revisiting the abuses of the last eight years, no matter how bad they were, a luxury we can’t afford?
No, it isn’t, because America is more than a collection of policies. We are, or at least we used to be, a nation of moral ideals. In the past, our government has sometimes done an imperfect job of upholding those ideals. But never before have our leaders so utterly betrayed everything our nation stands for. “This government does not torture people,” declared former President Bush, but it did, and all the world knows it.

“Centrist” Douchebags. . .

by Michael Hart February 8, 2009

A giddy menagerie of Republicans trod down Constitution Avenue following the spirit of the GOP and surrounded by their little blue dogs and assorted vermin, after gutting the Senate stimulus package with a butcher knife, their weapon of choice. Wrong to really wrong: “Big John” Cornyn, “Little John” McCain, “Two-Holer John” Ensign, “Teh Stoopid John” Boehner, “Jimmy John” DeMint, and “Douchebag Dave” Vitter with “Mitch the Bitch” McConnell.

Sunday Huff Poop

by Michael Hart January 11, 2009

Not possessing the steely intestinal constitution of the heroic Driftglass, I simply cannot breakfast on the barf of Sunday morning hurl coming outa the teevee talking head mouse circus, as only he can.  So I seldom miss reading what he draws from that frothy culture muck-pit.  It’s just one more great reason why he’s in [...]
