Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Good post! I've stopped by a few times, but never commented. I think the key phrase in assessing Greenwald is "overcompensates" and he does...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

I dislike the term "emoprog." It confuses musical politics with movement politics.Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

GG can't help himself. He will do/say/write any lie to cast PBO in a negative light, even if he knows instinctively that it's BS. IMO, his...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Greenwald doesn't care how much of a racist/bigot Paul is proven to be. He has an irrational hatred for POTUS. Wonder why?Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Glenn Greenwald needs to get off the Ron Paul/Koch/Libertarian teet. Hasn't he read the Anonymous "Ron Paul Hearts Neo-Nazis at Home and Abr...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Let's not forget Glenn's mindset in the aftermath of 9/11, the very attack that directly led to the AUMF: "This is not to say that I was no...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

As a queer myself, I can bitch about GG. This whiney emoprog needs to get over herself. 'She' sits down in her ivory tower in Brazil with he...Re: Morning Awful: Alabama’s War on Education

The Obama You Voted For
On the left, response to the president’s pantsing of House Republicans has been universal relief. Finally, more than one commenter has declared, this is the Obama I voted for. We’ve all been frustrated by the wishy-washy wishfulness of bipartisanship, haven’t … Continue reading
Great Point
It’s hilarious when Republicans mutter about politesse and complain about “lecturing.” Jamie Holly of Intoxination puts the kibosh on the “Obama shouldn’t attack the Supreme Court!” meme: The Constitution specifically sets up three equal branches of government. The very basis … Continue reading
Sick Day Link Dump
Am fighting off a bad cold. In the meantime, enjoy a link dump: A Las Vegas Sun story on the history of paranoid politics opens with the original FEMA death camps nontroversy…from the 1950s. Sarah Palin’s scheduled appearance in Nashville … Continue reading
Bob McDonnell’s Tortured Response and the Origins of Cheneyism
In his response to the president’s SOTU last night — before a curiously packed and well-coached statehouse — Virginia’s new governor took up the anti-Obama mantle. Not only did his remarks remarkably seem off-key, considering the president’s actual speech, but … Continue reading
Stupid in Alabama
Here’s an example of what I’m on about: the city of Florence, Alabama and the surrounding Lauderdale County rely on a 7-mill property tax to fund local education. This tax has to be re-voted on every so often; teachers always … Continue reading
Morning Video
I’m kind of creeped out by this, frankly. The LAPD is running an ad campaign that elevates all crime to the level of terrorism. It’s the new reductio ad Hitlerum.
What Was I Saying About Paywalls?
Oh, yeah. I was saying the New York Times ought to give up on paywall strategies. They might look at their Long Island neighbor, Newsday, which erected a paywall three months ago and today enjoys a whopping thirty-five website subscribers. … Continue reading
