Consolidation in the world of god

Sunday, March 11, 2012

At the Washington Monthly, Ed Kilgore notes that there has been an uptick in church foreclosures in the past year. He notes that the usual suspects that see problems for religious liberty in Obama’s religious neutral requirements imposed on insurance plans, don’t seem to have a problem with the banks destroying the religious infrastructure. Part […]

Friday Night VIdeo

Friday, March 9, 2012

This is a week late, but I would be remiss if I didn’t note Davey Jones passing with something by the Monkees. Now, to the purist they were not a group at all, being as they didn’t play their own instruments, at least at the start, but then, they did do their own singing, at […]

Some things never change

Friday, March 9, 2012

So, since yesterday morning I’ve been spending most of my time writing under pressure, as I had two (actually one and a half) days to respond to something the other side had weeks to put together. The judge saw things my way, which was a relief, but I’m really in no mood to bend my […]

Deja vu all over again

Tuesday, March 6, 2012

Almost under the radar, the neocons are doing it again: setting us up for yet another can’t win military adventure in the Middle East, this time against the much tougher Iran, into which we will be dragged by the Israeli tail that keeps wagging the American dog. Amazingly enough, we will once again be led […]

So many suckers, so little time

Monday, March 5, 2012

Another chapter in the ongoing saga of Republican grifters. Republican/Fascist sheriff Joe Arpaio is investigating Obama’s birth certificate (any bets on what his conclusion will be?) with the help of allegedly renowned volunteer investigator, Michael Zullo, who, with the help of veteran grifter Jerome Corsi, has written a book to soak the rubes that still […]

I didn’t think he had it in him

Saturday, March 3, 2012

The non-apology apology is an American art form. I don’t know if it exists in other cultures, but my guess is that if there are analogs, they reflect the various cultures in which those foreign non-apologies are delivered. Here in the U.S.A., where hypocrisy is itself an art form, the non-apology apology usually consists of […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, March 2, 2012

A anthem ready made for the Obama campaign, if they have the smarts to use it, and if Bruce lets them. This, from an Obama speech to some union workers, seems to echo Bruce: Because I’ve got to admit, it’s been funny to watch some of these politicians completely rewrite history now that you’re back […]

Yet another modest proposal

Friday, March 2, 2012

Back in 2007 both the Democratically controlled House and Senate passed Republican pushed resolutions condemning Moveon for hurting David Patreaus’s feefees. It was, pure and simple, a stunt designed to alienate the Democrats from their base, and the Democrats fell for it hook, line and sinker. There was, in fact, no national revulsion at what […]

Need he ask?

Friday, March 2, 2012

Paul Krugman ends this morning column with a question: Put it this way: Are you worried about a “Greek-style collapse”? Well, these plans would slash spending in the near term, emulating Europe’s catastrophic austerity, even while locking in budget-busting tax cuts for the future. The question now is whether someone offering this toxic combination of […]
