Rex wrote a new diary post: The patriarchy strikes back; it is bestial, it is brutal. It is Moloch, and it is consuming its daughters.
From the PBS Newshour, a story so frightful that it will shake your humanity to the core, in horror that your species includes amongst it the sort who would perpetrate the foul crime described. Briefly, in a spasm of rage mimiced (it is estimated) 5000 times each year, a family of rich Pakistanis stalked and murdered its daughter [...]

Leaving us forever alerted not to permit in politics anyone who addresses his interlocutors as “brother” (cf, “brothers and sisters”, with which are are, all, of course, ok)

Rex wrote a new diary post: Don’t like living in a country with a gerrymandered House? Well, then, move!
A modest proposal. Some among you of an esoteric (and perhaps senescent) character may remember the story of that jewel of kundalini yoga, Bhagwan Rajneesh. (My friend "Nada", one of the many girls who revolutionized the sex industry upon the dissolution of Rajneeshpuram, used to say in her exotic South African accent, "Bhagwan was like heroin"-and she should [...]

Rex commented on the diary post Mitch McConnell’s Office Pulls a Shapiro, Demagogues Obvious Joke As If It Were Fact by Phoenix Woman.
I fear that shark has already been jumped…there have been multiple Colbert themed #ironyfail moments provided by earnest conservative sons-o-the-soil appearances.

Rex commented on the diary post Afghanistan vaults past US on civil liberties and human rights! It comes to this! by Rex.
I’m really more torn up about the detainee kerfuffle than the civilian murder, even tho the consequences of the latter are so horrible. When the flap arose about people being released where there was no evidence against them, someone is quoted as mournfully intoning “Afghanistan has no regime of administrative detention…”, like it was a [...]

Rex commented on the diary post Afghanistan vaults past US on civil liberties and human rights! It comes to this! by Rex.
Everything you say is true, but I really could, at the end, not stomach Romney, and I certainly came earlier to the position you espouse. I suppose I lacked the courage of my convictions, or simply succumbed to tribal antagonisms. I don’t suppose I’m sorry, for all that, that Romney is NOT president.

Rex commented on the diary post Stanford prof solicited for Warren pushback on feckless bank regulators. Oops… by Rex.
Yeah, she is pretty cool. Don’t know how she found her way to Stanford, home of the Hooverites (and not in the good “vacuuming up white lines” way of Hoovering…)

Rex wrote a new diary post: Afghanistan vaults past US on civil liberties and human rights! It comes to this!
It was bad enough a month or so ago when a conflict roiled Afghan-US relations over the release by our clients of thousands of detainees who had been cleared of any wrongdoing by the local judiciary. At the time, the embarassing formulation of the simple precept that due process matters for good reasons, brought me to my knees [...]

Rex commented on the diary post Stanford prof solicited for Warren pushback on feckless bank regulators. by Rex.
I do it for the schadenfreude…usually the wailing and gnashing of teeth is universally shared amongst the hosts and the carefully chosen
shillsguests. Also, I figure whatever they are pissing and moaning the loudest about must signify successful left wing tactics, thus their constant wailing against Obama’s “permanent campaign” is music to my ears. [...] -
Rex wrote a new diary post: Stanford prof solicited for Warren pushback on feckless bank regulators. Oops…
This is a Fox Business Channel segment of surpassing entertainment value–watch it soon, cause it's bound to be taken down shortly. Under the rubric "Is government being too hard on the banks?", "correspondent" Melissa Francis mounted a push-back against Elizabeth Warren's widely praised roasting of a panel of do-nothing regulators for their abysmal failure to punish even the [...]

Rex wrote a new diary post: Prez: “Cat food! It’s what’s for dinner. (And we ain’t talkin’ Fancy Feast, nor even IAMS..it’s Meow Mix for you, Granny.)
Notwithstanding public pronouncements to the contrary by Joe "too far over his skiis" Biden, and Harry "Mitt Romney pays no taxes" Reid, we learn today that Barry "shiv-in-your-back" Obama is feeling the pain of House Repugnants with such poignancy that he finds it neccessary to bargain away a big chunk of Granny's outyear meal budgets; throwing Boehner [...]

Rex wrote a new diary post: Prez:”Boehner debt ceiling budget blackmail? Homey don’t play that!” B.S.? Bluster? Bluff? Or Benko gambit?
We hear tough talk from Prez (not for the first time…) vowing that any attempts by John Boehner to leverage a fiscal bargaining position by demanding concessions as a quid pro quo for raising the debt limit are non starters. But simultaneously, notwithstanding cover from the Big Dog , and the Grey Lady , the white house declares the "14th Amendment" solution to be off [...]

Rex wrote a new diary post: The Bed-Stuy Chain Saw Massacree
From the annals of Brooklyn justice an illuminating tale, casting in bold relief the true venality of prosecutors trolling for easy pleas. As the charging documents would have it, defendant Shaborn Emmanuel was a particularly dangerous fellow. In a common commercial conundrum, he had accepted drugs on consignment and now found himself, through circumstances not made immediately clear, in [...]

Rex commented on the diary post Free-Loadergate’s hidden taper-Our hero: Sir or Madam, I salute you. Class traitor, true patriot, America’s friend by Rex.
I don’t think so. The person who recorded had a hard time getting it picked up. If it were oppo. research it would not have languished. I think it was a free lance effort.

Rex wrote a new diary post: Free-Loadergate’s hidden taper-Our hero: Sir or Madam, I salute you. Class traitor, true patriot, America’s friend
Willard no doubt wishes that he had been able to confiscate all cell phones at the door, but that's a non-starter. Withal, someone paying 50k to attend (or a beautiful "paid for" guest…), someone surely not in the reviled 47%, did a real number on the guest of honor. The floor is open for nominations. I rule out the [...]

Rex commented on the diary post What’s that smell? Do you smell that smell? It’s the smell of a Repugnant victory-and it smells like fecal incontinence by Rex.
Bear in mind that an electoral college fail makes (shudder) the 50 state delegations to the House the” selectors”. We need instant runoff voting on as many local levels as possible so that serious party building can occur, failing a full scale revision of the existing national (profoundly anti-democratic) constitution.
