    “….let the Bush tax cuts expire beyond $250,000. This is the same figure that’s in the President’s budget. But it’s not the figure Nancy Pelosi used in her letter this week to John Boehner. She defined “middle-class tax cuts” as everything under $1 million in income.

    “Gimmee!!! But give PoopShooter some, too! The cringing dog licks the sugar’d hand!”

    Lame-ass shill.

    Yeah. In the shadow of the Second World War, real people made real things out of nothing, took chances with their health and well being for the pure hell of it, and had no use for credentialled, entitled, office-bound, careerist functionaries who, convinced they were the wave of the future, had the gall to tell [...]

    If nothing else, a moderate centrist would have to fly his phony freak flag so high to appease his base that no one would take him seriously, and his base would eviscerate him at the first sensible policy he had to implement at the behest of his financier cronies. Which Obama can get away with, because his “base” is sorta concerned with at least the appearance of competent governance.And the ravers on both sides just blow their various wads on the floor anyway, so F ‘em, eh?

    Obama is really a sociopathic conman in an accelerated, tuned-for-the-times mould of Mush Clinton, version 2.0, the pandering to the slave south rejiggered to suit the temper of the Internet generation.

    I listened to Obama’s reception at–Radcliffe? Vassar? one of them, where you’d really think they’d know better–t’other day, and the crowd was Beatles hysterical. Frightening, really.

    Our side, and, speaking as a true patriot, the good of the nation, needs for Obama to lose. He is far more capable of delivering the agenda of modern feudalism than a shallow brute like Romney, whose mien we’ve seen before. Mitt’s an HW Bush, more or less, without Bush’s leverage of insider knowledge as to where the skeletons are buried in the power elite’s near-term past. Those Eastern poobah dinosaurs just don’t hunt so good, anymore.

    I would contend, the world caught it from us. In the 50s, back when the USSR could jeer at our Jim Crow mockery of democracy, and out of a sense of shame, for the wrong reasons, we started to do the right thing? Gone now. the corruption is structural, and,more importantly, is universally seen as [...]

    Have yet to hear or read one press account of these stings that critically analyze this recurrent methodology, and they’re all alike.

    Yeah. The FBI, terrorists. By definition of the word, I do believe. Doesn’t look like AmeriKa can learn from its painful history. Not until the ruling clique is shamed and jailed. Oh, remember Mel Carnahan? Died in an ice-up plane crash. The incumbent MO senator facing John Asscroft. And Paul Wellstone. Maybe I’m wrong about [...]

    It’s necessary to surrender the cherished illusion of duopoly.

    “If you’re sitting at the table with cardsharps, and you can’t spot the sucker, it’s YOU.”

    Tanking, trashing, backstabbing, cutting shitty deals with felons, and deliberately betraying your own party to keep the collegial high-end grift going is probably that thing the Dems do the very best, since they can’t seem to actually govern any better than the ‘Pubes could/did….

    Read Walter Karp on how Corpocrats shivved the f* out of Jimmy Carter, throwing ’80 to a diagnosed dementia patient fronting for a criminal consortium, and we all know what came next.

    It’s what these bastards have done ever since they entered the Great Wasteland following LBJ.

    Sure dat.

    Got a defaulted student loan or credit card in arrears? Make a big enough noise about social justice or the crimes of the 1%, and some law firm or collection agency’ll be coming ’round for a word with you. Or your tiny 30K-a-year, W2-only, 1040EZ is–audited! Year after year! Who knows how many people get this treatment, and just won’t talk about it, out of embarrassment, or even fear?

    The TSA keeps your laptop, as happened to, who was it, Jeremy Scahill? Some other enterprising journo,IIRC….or, like Ted Kennedy, hey! you’re on a no-fly list! Wadda coincidence!

    And yeah. They DO play that kind of hardball.

  • What good does bringing a miscreant to “law”, when the “law” has no power over them? Are we only going to demonstrate, again, how impotent we are in using the tools of the elites to fight the elites?

    Or is the “law” only to keep the serfs in line?

    Break the “law”. Robin Hood is still an enduring story for a reason.

    This an excellent piece that exposes yet another ugly truth behind the feel-good American Xanax zeitgeist.

    Well, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that Fat Rush, O’Queefe, BiteBart and most of their avid followers are no longer necessary as an idiot flying wedge. Oh, sure, the poo-flinging will continue, as they can’t help it; but with The Obamlican in the WH and Democrats wildly happy to be spineless treacherous co-conspirators of the corporatists, the Mission’s Accomplished. Everyone’s who’s anyone is on board the FascioTrain.

    Roll up the scenery, strike the sets, and have a good long look at that brick-ass wall. (h/t, Frank Zappa)

    The rule of law? Nah. Guess the crumbs really are that sacred, to the cringing dogs licking the sugar’d hand.

    ‘Fronted SoS Jim Condos on the radio call-in this morning, on Jerk O’Queefe’s latest hijinx here in VT. I asked why Condos, and the host, were falling once again for the same rightist decoys, when there was a huge rule of law abrogation staring everyone in the face, every day, with this mortgage theft and fraud.

    Harumph, intones the Sec. Voting is a fundamental right, and allegations of fraud must be investigated, which is why I’ve asked the AG to blah,blah,blah.

    What horseshit. Roll the tumbrils.

    Very,very good point, and the more cynical among us even gave up asking the question of, why not? because the answer is, when hell freezes over. See Theater, Kabuki. Or Oz, Wizard of.

  • Decentralization is absolutely the key. Small-scale energy production begets small-scale-sized manufacturing growth; imagine a home-sized heater/electricity unit, say, for instance, or a sheet-good-type solar panel.

    Well, there we are: As Stalin said of the Pope, “How many troops does HE have?”

    Substitute the rule of law for the poor troop-less Pope. Lots of the faithful, but none who will command the most imperative obedience.
