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.
In neat PowerPoint pages, [...]

Obama’s Freeze

by Propagandee January 26, 2010

According to the Daily Telegraph
A 16-year-old girl who was raped in Bangladesh has been given 101 lashes for conceiving during the assault…
The girl’s father was also fined and warned the family would be branded outcasts from their village if he did not pay.
According to human rights activists, the girl, who was quickly married after the [...]

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 Wikipedia [...]

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 Lary 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” frame for [...]

President LIEberman Triumphs!

Thumbnail image for President LIEberman Triumphs!

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 care [...]

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 [...]

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 of careful [...]

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.

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 [...]

Afutilestan

by Propagandee September 21, 2009

The contents of General McCrystal’s top-down review of Afghanistan ordered by President Obama found its way into the front pages of the NY Times and Washington Post today. As expected, it paints a grim picture and calls for more of everything– more troops, more money, more nation building– on top of the $ 4 [...]

Racism, Propaganda, And Health Care Reform

by Propagandee September 12, 2009

An attendee at today’s teabagger protest on the D.C. Mall
In the never ending triumph of form over substance, politics over policy, and emotionally charged food fights over actual debate, the MSM occasionally interjects some reality into their coverage of complex issues like health care reform. Example in a moment.
Take the issue du jour– fictional [...]

A Winger Folk Hero Is Born

by Propagandee September 9, 2009

South Carolina Congressman, Joe Wilson (Winger- SC)
In the middle of this evening’s address by President Obama to a joint session of Congress, a forum with a long history of decorum, South Carolina Republican Congressman Joe Wilson shouted out (from the relative anonymity of a large audience) –  Liar “You lie!”
Congressman Wilson was responding to the [...]

Rumba In The Dumba

by Propagandee September 9, 2009

Praying this young lady has good health care insurance…
In an historically rare prime time presidential address to a joint session of Congress concerning health care reform, all the major networks will carry it live, except one:  Fox Broadcasting, which instead will show its regularly scheduled reality show, So You Think You Can Dance, the same [...]
