Embassy Attacks

Hillary Clinton Falls on Her Sword for Obama

Clinton has taken responsibility for the Benghazi attacks. I’d be curious to know how she was coerced into doing this.

The War on (Some) Drugs

Aaron Sandusky Facing Life in Prison for Operating a California Dispensary

Sandusky is facing life after a trial barring even a mention of the relevant California law. Remember when not going after clinics was one of the reasons Obama was “better than Bush?” What reasons have you got left?

Happy Jew Year From Donald Fagen

One of the two masterminds behind Steely Dan chats about Lenny Bruce, his new record and his fellow Jews.

Election 2012

Women Pushing Romney Into Swing State Lead

Further evidence that shrieking about how the Republicans will turn women into breeding slaves isn’t a winning strategy, Dems.

“Memorandum of Understanding” for the Debates

Our elections are tightly managed, corporate-controlled affairs that leave little to chance. Here’s a peek behind the curtain.

Just Plain Awesome

Romney’s “47 Percent” Comments and the Democratic Response

Some of us actually do believe that food, housing, health care, etc. are social rights. Great article from the WSWS detailing what’s wrong with the Democratic Party’s response to Mitt Romney’s attack on the working class.

Elizabeth Warren Responds to Charges She Used Race to Get Ahead

Professor Lizzy has repeatedly and falsely claimed that she is of Cherokee descent. I doubt the veracity of her story that she was raised believing this, and I doubt her claim that she never received preferential treatment because of it.

Scott Brown’s Staff Make Tomahawk Chops, War “Whoops”

I’m about to make a very unpopular statement, surprise of surprises: It is far more offensive to me that Professor Lizzy would lie about her heritage than it is that Brown’s campaign would use racist caricatures to belittle it. I find her behavior far more troubling than Brown’s staffers, even if I condemn both.

Bill Clinton Fuels Hillary 2016 Speculation

She’s not running because she knows she has no chance. Too old, too many skeletons in her closet, too deep of a bench of young, fresh faces on the Democratic side. Assange also apparently has some really damaging intel on her time as Secretary of State.

Tea Party Ground Game Could Trump Dems

It ain’t over ’til it’s over and despite all outward appearances, this one ain’t over. The Tea Party is organized and working on getting out the vote for Mittens.
