The House members were obviously out on Highway 61 during their off season.

Dredd commented on the blog post ALEC Wasn’t First Industry Trojan Horse Behind Sham Fracking Disclosure Bill – Enter CSG
It was interesting that you mentioned ExxonMobil in that frak-king foray.
Rachel Maddow had the author of Private Empire on as a guest last night. That is one unAmerican corporation, by their own admission!

So many people wonder why we are still there. There are some reasons one does not hear about very often.

Dredd commented on the blog post Bombshell: 2008 Shell Nigeria Oil Spill 60 Times Size Originally Claimed
Thanks for pointing this out.
Another bombshell is the “methane volcanoes” erupting in the Arctic. This was something that scientific models said would not happen.

Dredd commented on the blog post Federal Reserve Revised Growth Estimates Show High Unemployment as Far as the Eye Can See
Perhaps it is time to force the 1% to share some of the Iraq booty with the 99% who paid taxes to pay for the “oil rigs” that secured that booty?

Dredd commented on the blog post State of the Occupation (Tues Night Roundup)
Doesn’t it seem like the OWS is a counterrevolution by the 99% to the Bullshevik revolution that created the 1% … ?

Dredd commented on the blog post Veal Pen Preachers and Conservative Idolatry of Teh Market is an Ugly Combination
“Denouncing a presumed gap between rich and poor is, more often than not, a symptom of economic confusion, not prophetic wisdom …”
The OWS demonstrators have broad based support without a doubt.
Next we must refine the tools and techniques to match the form of government and economy that is being targeted for repair.
There are many types of government:
Androcracy, Aristocracy, Autocracy, Communist state, Confederation, Consociationalism, Corporatocracy, Corporatism, Demarchy, Democracy, Despotism, Empire, Ethnocracy, Fascist state, Federation, Feudalism, Garrison state, Gerontocracy, Green state, Hierocracy, Isocracy, Interregnum, Kakistocracy, Kratocracy, Kleptocracy, Kritarchy, Kritocracy, Kyriarchy, Logocracy, Matriarchy, Mediocracy, Meritocracy, Minarchism, Monarchy, Nanny state, Nation-state, Nomocracy, Noocracy, Ochlocracy, Oligarchy, Panarchism, Pantisocracy, Parliamentary state, Patriarchy, Provisional government, Plantocracy, Plutocracy, Police state, Polyarchy, Presidential, Puppet state, Republic, Socialist state, Sociocracy, Squirearchy, Stratocracy, Sultanism, Superpower, Supranational union, Synarchy, Technocracy, Thalassocracy, Theocracy, Timocracy, Tribe, Tyranny, Unitary state, Welfare state
(Who Are The Job Creators?). When our government slipped away from us, so did the economy, and so did the tools we are accustomed to using to fix a problem.
An example of a bad tool or tactic is to ask for better voting machines in an Autocracy.
If we are a plutonomy now, we need to know who the plutocrats are, by name and location.
If they rule, but congress and the president do not, the voting different people into or out of those offices will not work as a fix.
Any ideas for proper tools with which to fix a plutonomy, where the plutocrats are deliberately “not hiring”?

Could it be that there is such a thing as republican microbial evolution taking place in our midst?

But hey, what about the building boom going on to build the world’s highest building?

Another pressing question is “Will the newbie T-baggers in the House continue to suck their thumbs through the weekend?”

Dredd commented on the blog post More Blame US Wars than Medicare or Social Security for Deficit
Little wonder since a brief look at history will tell us that our forefathers saw war as a disease while militant moderns have a Chinese philosophy about the matter.

Dredd commented on the blog post Freedom now smells like tear gas, feels like rubber bullets
They utter their own protests heroically, but our guns given to their overlords belie our spin.
We can not hide, from the protesters there, the reality that our foreign policy is imperialistic.

Tonight in the Script of The Union (SOTU) it will be explained why there are no longer prosecutions of political crimes of this nature.

Dredd commented on the diary post Gulf Residents Beg Kenneth Feinberg to Restore Livelihoods by Brian Sonenstein.
No doubt that is a trend of the future, for states and for cities too. It will continue until the warsters stop being all rogue and mavericky.

Dredd commented on the diary post UnCommon Ground – When Big Business and Big Government Merge by Jim Moss.
Well said Mr. Moss. The common welfare mentioned in the constitution has become the uncommon welfare for the military elite, the descendants of Daddy Warbucks.

Dredd commented on the diary post How Delaying EPA Smog/CO2 Rules Worsens Business Uncertainty by Scarecrow.
This is another one of those bits of evidence that government passed the peak of sanity some time back.

Dredd commented on the blog post It Starts With: “Hello. I am a Prosecutor in Nigeria …
But it ends with a science friction reply, “So, I am Dick Cheney, a phantom from MOMCOM. Bye”.

Dredd commented on the diary post Jane Hamsher on Larry O’D's Last Word: “People Are Hurting. We Need Leadership” by Scarecrow.
We have leadership, it is just that it is not all it was cracked up to be during the election.

Dredd commented on the blog post We Convicted a Guy the Bush Administration Tortured
Even if we don’t think there is enough evidence for “peak oil”, there isn’t a lot of doubt that we have passed the peak of sanity and are now in decline.
