That is my concern. Plus the John Doe charges, the fake ‘Koch’ call and still half support Walker. Per Ed Schultz this week, substantial union members still support Walker.

Maybe the Progressive ideal has run its course. Put a fork in it.

There is a ton of money to be made catering to the forces of hate, bigotry, divisiveness and racism. Which begs the question: why aren’t Progressives so supportive of each other?

Another Obama back-door deal with Big Pharma. Plus some major perks for the Prison Industrial Complex.

I’m speechless. Had no idea this was going on. Kevin Gosztola – you deserve some sort of journalism award. A big one. Thank you.

It appears members of Congress can do many things secretly. I’m thinking of those anonymous ‘holds’ on bills and nominees for Federal positions. Now this.

Are their secret powers articulated in House/Senate rules? Or are they just using clout and cronyism?

If Israel wants to go it alone, it’s tragic, but go ahead. They will have to go it alone dealing with the inevitable blowback.

Even as we speak, a new conspiracy could be brewing. Alex Jones, on Coast to Coast AM last night, posited that Andrew Breitbart was killed, assassinated. He was preparing to release some (cough) devastating info on Obama, like from college days.

Vince Foster meme revisited?

86 Senators voted for this. We can’t blame Obama only. It seems the entire elected class is united against the American People.

America has turned into a nuclear-fueled, massively armed, surveillance-heavy monstrosity. Step by step, the system has complete control of human lives.

We gotta fix it. We owe that to the world, to the future. Question is HOW?

The infantilism of 2011 Republicans grows daily. This latest dance is so ludicrous that even Tea Bag Americans must realize that THEIR well-being, THE NATION’S needs are not remotely in focus.

Did anyone really expect any other result? Noone on either side wanted to be on record for either service cuts or tax increases.

Plus: the current elected class is at its best when it is inert.

Somehow, I can’t help speculating what the (ahem) private life of hell-hag-harpy Rachel and her death squad/murderer/rapist hubby Elliot might be. There’s gotta be an underground DVD that captures their essence perfectly. Just hope the actors are more attractive than they are….

Moldova? How would Americans know or care about sexuality in that sliver of a nation. Couldn’t find it on a map, I’m guessing. So, what is the motivtion for Cameron to go there and interject himself into their election?

Has to be someone with big bucks behind the scenes willing to pay his ‘consulting fee’ and underwrite trip expenses. I’m sure that donor is big in conservative circles – maybe even on the board of Family Research Institute.

Many parents and grandparents I know have already pulled all the money they can out of their homes. Reasons could include job loss (with little chance for rehire at equivalent salaries, routing spending or medical bills. This seriously limits the ability to pay college tuition for grandchildren or grandchildren.

We also see depleted home equity reducing the likelihood of a decent inheritance. In the old days, the family home – owned free and clear – was a great multi-generational gift. Tax favored, also. That halcyon era has passed for most.

Idea! Erase (NOT postpone, erase) all student loan debts for students unable to find a job within 6 months of graduation. Or when the US unemployment rate is over 5%.

If the lenders want to collect, they should have their lobbyists push for a jobs bill.

Headline correction: Iraqi Interrogators Rape Juveniles CUZ IT TURNS THEM ON AND CUZ THEY CAN!

We really are in end-stages of USA. 2012 will be the last stand of disorganized and impoverished mammals against gigantic, rich Reptilians.
