Keeping Shit Secret Is What’ll Keep Us Safe Posted 10 Jun 2009 under Bush Man Date, Dismantling Bushworld, Obama Uber Alles, Podium Spin, War on Terror
Safety doesn’t lie in numbers, safety lies in keeping ugly secrets secret. Loose lips sink ships, and so does the Freedom of Information Act. (1) So now it’s a formal legal argument: such-and-such information (about past government misdeeds) must be kept secret forever, because to allow this information to become public would benefit al-Qaeda’s recruitment efforts.

Innocent As Charged? Posted 13 Apr 2009 under Corruption, Media, Republican Clown Show
Trying to spin Ted Stevens as a wrongfully accused innocent, who should never have been charged and tried for the crimes that he is alleged to have committed, would appear to be a thoroughly idiotic notion. Which must be why the Republican machine has embraced it with both arms, and kissed it on the [...]

Political Humor, Republican Style Posted 27 Feb 2009 under Bolton, Media, Republican Clown Show
Paul Krugman seems to have really nailed it when he described today’s Republican party as “the party of Beavis and Butthead”: Basically, the political philosophy of the GOP right now seems to consist of snickering at stuff that they think sounds funny. The party of ideas has become the party of Beavis and Butthead. Except that the [...]

Lopsided Enough To Be Satifying Posted 05 Nov 2008 under 2008 Presidential, Bush Man Date
Remember all the times in the last four years (just to take a random period of history) that people like George Bush have said “God bless America!”? I don’t know if blessing is anything like saving, but gods certainly decided to step in and save America. From the enemy within, which is unfortunately what [...]

Gitmo: Fun And Games People Play Posted 22 Oct 2008 under Bush Man Date, Corruption, Depends on the Definition of, War on Terror
(1) Ah, fun and games! Fun, and games people play. All governments engage in a certain amount of what can only be described as meaningless masturbation, but the Bush government likes to do it with people’s lives and their freedom and their inalienable human rights: The Pentagon said Tuesday it has dropped war-crimes charges against [...]

First Presidential Debate Live Blog Posted 26 Sep 2008 under 2008 Presidential
Demonstrating decision making that rivals McCain’s, Matt is letting me live blog the debates. It’s about to go down, I have a bottle of wine and some other refreshments all ready to go. This could get ugly. (Oh yeah, we operate on EST up in this bitch for the evening) 9:04 – Foreign policy = financial [...]

Except at Home Posted under Lipstick on a Pig
The Pr0n Secretary does irony: if (undefined===window.scriptAlreadyRequested) { window.scriptAlreadyRequested = false; } if (undefined===window.scriptAlreadyLoaded) { window.scriptAlreadyLoaded = false; } if (! scriptAlreadyRequested) { var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]; var script [...]

The Belly Primary Posted 24 Jul 2008 under 2008 Presidential, Media, dmx
On Tuesday I pointed to Color of Change’s 600,000 strong petition to Fox News demanding that they stop their racist smears of Barack Obama. I was a bit dismissive of their choice to have Nas deliver the petition, and it still seems like an odd choice. But rather than push back and point [...]

Secret Remedies And Secret Holds Posted 27 Jun 2008 under Congressional Man Date
(1) The Secret Remedy For Secret Holds I suspect that most Americans — even those who follow politics closely — do not really understand the host of obstructionist tactics available to U.S. senators, tactics that together make the Senate one of the more dysfunctional institutions of American democracy. (I hang my head in shame, and [...]

Clinton’s Contentious Critics Posted 22 May 2008 under 2008 Presidential, Hillary, Media
Here’s ABC News — in the person of Russell Goldman — showing us how they too are committed to fair and balanced news. The subject is Hillary Clinton’s Michigan-Florida shenanigans: Hillary Clinton has vowed to stay in the game, but some critics contend she is looking to change the rules. Some critics contend? So it’s [...]
