Pandering To Radicals (Update)

by Propagandee August 16, 2010

Newtie panders to the radical right by growing another right hand In the histrionic debate over whether a group of Sufi Muslims can or should build a community center with a prayer room a couple of blocks from Ground Zero, President Obama’s articulation of their constitutionally guaranteed right to do so over the weekend has [...]

When The Fat Roils

by Terry August 11, 2010

To be sure, there are a lot of fat-cat politicians, on both sides of the political aisle. And you can safely bet most of them aren’t able to think any better than they actually eat. Newton Leroy Gingrich is a great example of what I mean.

Sometimes You’re The Windshield, Sometimes You’re The Bug

by Propagandee May 29, 2010

A Dire Straits message for President Obama Is President Obama suffering from Stockholm Syndrome brought on by the D.C. culture of Regulatory Capture corruption he inherited? Regulatory capture occurs when a state regulatory agency created to act in the public interest instead acts in favor of the commercial or special interests that dominate in the [...]

How’s That Anti-Government Thingy Workin For Ya?

by Propagandee May 27, 2010

Palin lying through her teeth about oil company campaign contributions I just love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. Bob Cesca nails it: [...] A major corporation, not unlike General Motors or Bank of America or WellPoint, failed to properly outfit one of its deep-water oil drilling platforms with the proper failsafe mechanisms and [...]

First-Hand Anger…

by Michael Hart May 14, 2010

…IS NOT ENOUGH. How much longer before we finally realize that Corporations— individual citizens— will never be responsible stewards of the earth’s natural resources. The people of this nation OWN it’s resources;  only a moral people will care enough to protect our country, our oceans, our air, our water— our world— from the ravages of [...]

Nightmare On Main Street

by Propagandee May 8, 2010

Since the Reagan presidency, the GOP has rightly earned the reputation as The Party of No:  as a rabid opposition party opposed to anything that President Obama and the Democrats propose that might conceivably benefit the middle class and the poor, The Party of No Way Jose;  and as The Party of No Ideas, whose [...]

Fear And Loathing In Boca Grande

by Propagandee March 5, 2010

: Oops. Looks like someone lost their copy of the RNC’s 2010 fund raising strategy.  Politico obtained a copy and reports: The presentation was delivered by RNC Finance Director Rob Bickhart to top donors and fundraisers at a party retreat in Boca Grande, Florida on February 18, a source at the gathering said.

The Three Witches

by Propagandee January 13, 2010

J’accuse!  Palin, Bachmann, and Cheney reprising the role of The Three Witches from Shakespeare’s Macbeth [with apologies to Johann Fusilli] No dis meant to contemporary wikkans; some of my most memorable psychedelic experiences include what I interpreted as interactions with what The Urantia Book calls The Universe Mother Spirit. But reading the following description from [...]

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 [...]

The Hindmost Returns

by Propagandee January 2, 2010

The Hindmost, a cowardly Puppeteer from Larry Niven’s Ringworld series Dickhead Cheney is at it again, criticizing President Obama’s response to the failed terrorist attempt to take down an airliner over the U.S. on Christmas Day. Seems that Darth isn’t happy that Obama is implicitly rejecting the Bush Administration‘s idiotic and counterproductive “war on terrorism” [...]

Will the real Joe Lieberman STFU and STFD? (Just a suggestion.) Left: Death to Health Care Reform, Evil personified, Joe Bloe Palpatine, Palpatine, Joe the fat little clown. To say that progressives are furious that Joe LIEberman has brought the entire Democratic Party to its ass-kissing knees on the life and death issue of health [...]

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 [...]

Afutilestan (VI): Obama’s Decision

by Propagandee December 1, 2009

Back to the future in Afghanistan Irony often has the most exquisite timing. Today President Obama announces a massive escalation of the war in Afghanistan, doubling the number of troops that Bush left behind. And next week he travels to Oslo to pick up his Nobel War Peace Prize. So, what did those three months [...]

Schadenfrude On Steroids

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 political [...]
