    Stick a fork in Obama.

    The “living Marxist” Mills was never going to get past the transom in the educational institutions where Mr. Obama was formed.

    Guess Jews can’t adopt existentialism, either, going by such pitiful “intel-”logic.

    As if the socialist, anti-militarist Einstein would have any truck with the clowns who run Israel now.

    I’m with you, but I don’t see them gaining political traction with this, only throwing red meat to the dogs in their own kennels.

    Sad but true.

    Matthew Detroit commented on the diary post Larry Summers Says that Reinhart-Rogoff Type Mistakes Are “Distressingly Common” Then Goes on to Prove His Point by Dean Baker.

    2013-05-07 06:18:49View | Delete

    This is like saying that economics itself is the problem, which is hoohoo. You don’t usually stop studying a phenomenon when it is being manipulated to kill you, or to deprive your children of a future. Baker is a socialist, and that’s a good enough starting point for me.

    Matthew Detroit commented on the blog post Syrian Government Says Attack By Israel A ‘Declaration Of War’

    2013-05-06 07:33:32View | Delete

    “Fears that the Syrian Civil War would cause further regional instability seem to have been justified as the Syrian government has stated that airstrikes from Israel constitute a declaration of war.”

    No doubt the conflict does threaten regional stability, but it’s a bellicose act by ISRAEL that threatens it in this instance.

    Well said.

    2013-04-29 10:01:51View | Delete

    I read somewhere that it had spawned 11 new government buildings in Washington. At some point the disconnect between conservative hatred of (some kinds of) government and love of other kinds of government has to be placed in full view.

    2013-04-24 04:48:13View | Delete

    Yes, the people who carry out drone bombings should obviously be described as drones, too. Will make it SOP.

    Matthew Detroit commented on the blog post Late Night: True But Reductive

    2013-04-23 05:26:36View | Delete

    “Modo”? I’m guessing that means Maureen Dowd, though you provide no link. Rather than be cute, or pretend to some intimacy with (the idea) of her–when most progressives would want to distance themselves from her acidulously chatty blend of insider gossip and politics–you could just use her name.

    Matthew Detroit commented on the blog post Larry Summers: It is Good That America Didn’t Adopt Single-Payer in the 70′s

    2013-04-15 16:13:27View | Delete

    If it weren’t going to make someone rich, why would these grasping toadies opt for it in the first place? That’s capitalism, for god’s sakes. You people play the game in blindfolds and with a hand tied behind your back, taking your earnest potshots as it the elephant weren’t sitting on your necks.

    Easy Rider with the quote of the week. Yeah, the week is young, but you already won it.

    Brownstein’s analysis gives the game away: for Washington, it’s all about finessing the demographic possibilities to game the system for the ruling class. And we should swallow it whole because. . . I forget. Oh yeah, because corporate retail politics are not about dreaming the world right but about, Ouroboros-style, gaming the system for the ruling class.

    HOLD EVERYTHING. They are planning to test a nuke, right? Don’t we do that all the time?
