Is Obama Centrist?

June 30th, 2008 at 8:19 am » Comments (0)

Paul Krugman has a thought provoking op-ed today on whether Obama is more like Bill Clinton, triangulation and all, rather than a left-wing Ronald Reagan. What change will he really deliver? He supports the wimpy wiretap bill that essentially grants immunity to the telecom companies. He supports the mad four on the [...]



Where the Hell is our Outrage?

June 30th, 2008 at 7:41 am » Comments (0)

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 [...]



Ron Paul on Iran

June 29th, 2008 at 10:58 pm » Comments (1)

Ron Paul talks sense on Iran. As Juan Cole points out, Paul argues that speculation about a US or Israeli strike on Iran is driving some of the increase in oil prices. Also, it appears that the OPEC president agrees.

Not only is such speculation causing a rise in oil prices, but as [...]



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 [...]

How come more Dems aren’t talking like this? Forget the Repugs, but geez, can’t we get a single Dem to get this pissed off once in a while?

Ted Kennedy

June 2nd, 2008 at 6:35 pm » Comments (3)

Ted’s successful brain surgery today is great news. How many remember his great speech of nearly six years ago? Perhaps if he had been listened to then we might have avoided the debacle that is Iraq. Thanks to Brian Donohue for reminding us of this on his dailyrevolution.net blog. Here’s [...]

Here’s a serious interview on the Israel-Syria negotiations. Imad Moustapha, Syria’s ambassador to the US tells Al Jazeera how much progress has been made in talks with Israel over the Golan Heights. Thanks to Juan Cole for this. See the big Al Jazeera symbol. Not your “Main Stream Media”. [...]

If You Can Stand It!

May 16th, 2008 at 8:42 am » Comments (1)

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.
Listen, if you can stand it! Chris Matthews is bad enough but this yakker, Kevin [...]
