Lady Gaga Will Eat Your Brain
Some weirdness for your weekend: a website called “Vigilant Citizen” has a nice, long post detailing the mind-control propaganda in Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” video. In the video, the “telephone” is a metaphor for Gaga’s brain and the fact that she … Continue reading
The Revolution Will Be Monetized
Remember the birther-mercial? It was basically a fax scam playing to late-nite rubes across the south: The ironically-named Gary Kreep, who produced that video under a 501(c)4 for-profit corporation, turns out to also be Executive Director of A California-based PAC … Continue reading
idiocracy
The Texas School Board has officially jumped the couch: 9:40 – We’re just picking ourselves up off the floor. The board’s far-right faction has spent months now proclaiming the importance of emphasizing America’s exceptionalism in social studies classrooms. But today … Continue reading
I Was Talking About This Months Ago
Seed bank commercials are right up there with G. Gordon Liddy hawking gold. Ever since the Color of Change campaign began, Faux Noise has grown more and more like a televisual version of AM hate talk radio — right down … Continue reading

Letter to the Editor
This ran today. I fully expect to receive condemnation in the editorial pages as a result. To the Editor: I just read the AP story about Conservapedia.com, the Bible rewriting project proposing to erase the effects of “liberal academics” who … Continue reading
The Beck-Van Impe Nexus
Even as I’ve researched Beck’s sources, it seems to me that he’s been sounding more and more like Jack Van Impe. Take this latest slice of his radio show, as recorded by Media Matters: Greece is “collapsing,” Beck claims, because … Continue reading
Stupid Billboards
Note to wingnuts: just because you believe the president is illegitimate doesn’t mean you get to stop paying your taxes. This comes from Oliver Willis: “Vote out incumbents” is a not new meme, and it’s a rather Orwellian one. As … Continue reading
Teh Samsara of Wacky™
Responding to a wave of Teh Wacky™ over health care reform, the White House put the following on its website yesterday: There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to … Continue reading
That Palin Article
Unless you live under a rock, you know that Michael Jackson is dead and Todd Purdum has written an article for Vanity Fair about Sarah Palin. What does it say about the nature of modern American politics that a public … Continue reading
