It's all Bonzo's fault.

When the Reagan Administration began the deregulation craze, and the Holy Free Market became infallible, the collapse of the U.S. financial industry was predictable. Bush was the ton of bricks that broke the camel’s back. The transfer of wealth upwards was conservatism at its most typical, and destructive. Republicans like to blame the present state of the economy on anything other than the cause. As the train accelerated to the point where the tracks stopped, many Americans, without a degree in economics, watched in horror as it left the tracks and plunged over a cliff.

Norm Coleman is a sore loser.

Is there any point along Coleman's unprecedented litigious path at which the press will apply the same standard to a Republican that it applied to a Democrat?

Six Jewish Companies Own 96% of the World’s Media

Is this true?
“You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel…”

China spys on over 103 countries with GhostNet.

An Internet spy network that targeted hundreds of "high value" computers including the Thai foreign ministry and others in 103 countries is likely just one of many, one of the Canadian researchers who uncovered it has told the Canadian Broadcasting Commission.

So, Rep. Doogan is being an asshole.

He has an (R) after his name, right?

Criminal proceedings have begun in against six senior officials in the Bush administration for the use of torture against detainees in Guantánamo Bay.

Criminal proceedings have begun in Spain against six senior officials in the Bush administration for the use of torture against detainees in Guantánamo Bay.

Doesn't it make your heart sing?

establishment media. AKA The Villagers

By definition, establishments believe in propping up the existing order. Members of the ruling class have a vested interest in keeping things pretty much the way they are. Safeguarding the status quo, protecting traditional institutions, can be healthy and useful, stabilizing and reassuring.

Also, in the name of consumer protection, television news shows and the largest newspapers ought to place that above-excerpted paragraph by Thomas as a warning at the top of every product they produce.

SO! Jesus is a Jewish boy with a Platinum Amarican Express card...

who is pissed at Barack.

A Spanish court “has agreed to consider opening a criminal case against six former Bush administration officials…over torture at Guantanamo Bay.”

Oh, Jesus, the CIA is going to try to crush their testicles.

The officials include former attorney general Alberto Gonzales, former undersecretary of defense for policy Douglas Feith, former Cheney chief of staff David Addington, Justice Department officials John Yoo and Jay S. Bybee, and Pentagon lawyer William Haynes. The AP has more details on the case...

God speed and Via Con Dios. Oh, yea. Fuck you Chimpy for bringing the sexy back.

Taliban Denies Polio Vaccine To 300,000 Children

Christ, the Taliban are just as smart as republicans.

Taliban militants in Pakistan's northern Swat Valley region are preventing UN officials from administering the Polio vaccine to hundreds of thousands of children with the claim that it is an anti-Muslim sterilization plot, the Telegraph reports. Radical Taliban clerics have taken to the radio and are even using megaphones to spread awareness of the "US tool to cut the population of the Muslims."

Taliban 'clerics' are too fucking dumb to realize that the prefered "US tool to cut the population of the Muslims" is "Operation Enduring Freedom".

Can I get a Woot! for UPS?

You just know this is going to make Billo nuts.

Touting Her Currency Conspiracy, Bachmann Insists: ‘This Is Not Michele Bachmann Being A Kook’

Actually Michele, that is exactly what you are...

Everything is always good for the GOP, according to Rove.

Rove and Hannity think Obama's 'radical agenda' works in GOP's favor.

The Quiet Coup

The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government—a state of affairs that more typically describes emerging markets, and is at the center of many emerging-market crises. If the IMF’s staff could speak freely about the U.S., it would tell us what it tells all countries in this situation: recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform. And if we are to prevent a true depression, we’re running out of time.
