Where the Hell is our Outrage?
Here’s part of what Lee Iacocca said in his recent book:
‘ “Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We’ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got [...]

Unity!
I want to save this video here, and check back in November in hopes that it will have indeed proven visionary. These guys and this unity are our only hope for defeating John McCain and stopping a further descent of the world, or at least America, into a black hole. Let’s hope these [...]

If You Can Stand It!
As an example of the depressing state most of the American radio talk show circuit is in, here’s a Chris Matthews interview with a right-wing radio yakker. The yakker proves he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.
