Forty two years ago, I had recently dropped out of the anti-war movement, because, as a devotee of nonviolent protest and passive resistance, I could not support the direction that the weather faction had taken the movement. Nevertheless, the events of this day filled me with a sense of horror only rarely experienced.Forty two years ago, I had recently dropped out of the anti-war movement, because, as... more

As the June recall of Fartfuhrer Scott Walker of the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, edges closer, so does the criminal investigation into the Fartfuhrer. Which will happen first is anybody’s guess.As the June recall of Fartfuhrer Scott Walker of the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy... more

Across the country, in states where Republicans are in power, they are implementing draconian voting laws designed to disenfranchise the poor, the elderly, minorities, and students, because these are more likely to vote for Democrats. The excuse Republicans are using is that there is massive voter fraud. That lie has peen proven false again and again. The irony is that, in those very few cases where voter fraud has actually been documented, the perpetrators are almost invariably Republican, such as in this case.Across the country, in states where Republicans are in power, they are implementing... more

It was a bad day at Republican rock for Newt Gingrich. In spite of his foolproof plan to win in Tampa Bay, his Daddy GotRocks doesn’t see it that way. Newt’s billionaire is cutting him off, so Newt is effectively newtered. He has cut back his campaign staff.It was a bad day at Republican rock for Newt Gingrich.

The oppressed people of the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan took a giant step towards making their state Wisconsin once again. Teabagger Pam Galloway, one of the four Republican Senators slated for recall, has resigned effective midnight this morning. That means that the Republican Party no longer controls the Senate, putting the kibosh of Fartfuhrer Walker’s plans to do more damage, between now and his own ouster in June.The oppressed people of the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan took a... more

Crazy things often happen in the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Brewerstan, formerly Arizona, and Maricopa County Sheriff Arpaio did not earn the nickname “Crazy Joe” without cause. Although the notion that Barack Obama plotted in the womb to have his birth certificate forged, so he could disguise his Kenyan birth, and thus assure his future path to the Presidency, has been thoroughly disproven, Crazy Joe has gone birther!Crazy things often happen in the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Brewerstan,... more

As the stage is set for recall in Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, Fartfuhrer Walker has become all the more dependent on the largesse of the corporate criminals, to whom he sold-out his regime’s tortured subjects, especially the Koch Brothers. However, the Koch Brothers have become so blatant, it appears that they have actually admitted to violating campaign finance laws, as the following article by John Nichols demonstrates. If so, Walker’s Koch may be cut off.As the stage is set for recall in Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, Fartfuhrer... more

Family Values Republicans have a way of proving that they believe their family values must be imposed by force on everyone else, but do not apply to their own behavior. In the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Brewerstan, formerly Arizona, Romney had such a man as the co-chair of his campaign there. Even before the scandal broke, Paul Babeu was problematic due to his extreme hatred of undocumented Latinos and his association with the White Supremacy movement.Family Values Republicans have a way of proving that they believe their family values... more

A few days back, I criticized Ron Paul for suggesting that the Republican party of Maine had stacked the deck against him. When I’m wrong I say so. In my own defense, it was an easy mistake to make as it’s been hard to find a time when Paul or his acolytes were not sniveling over some perceived injustice. It is now clear that there were enough irregularities in the Maine caucuses to bring Paul’s complaint into the realm of possibility. Imagine, if you will that the Chair of the Maine Republican Party. Watching the returns he sees that Ron Paul might actually win the caucuses there. Oh the shame! Oh the humiliation they would suffer to be the only state where Ron Paul has ever, or will ever, win the caucuses or a primary! Faced with such an anathema, I can picture the party leaders cooking the results out of fear that the entire Republican Party of Maine might be certified insane.A few days back, I criticized Ron Paul for suggesting that the Republican party of... more

Just a couple of days ago, Scott Walker, Fartfuhrer of the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, was crowing about how he had balanced the budget. He was lying, of course. He had a balanced budget when he was elected, but despite gutting worker’s compensation and services for citizens, all his giveaways to the Koch Brothers and other corporate criminals have built up a significant deficit. Now that Fitzwalkerstan will be getting mortgage relief for homeowners, the Fartfuhrer’s plan for that money has nothing to do with the homeowners.Just a couple of days ago, Scott Walker, Fartfuhrer of the Totalitarian Corporate... more

Back in the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, things look pretty bleak for Fartfuhrer Walker, as he is at bay, desperately seeking escape from both the law and the people. It appears so unlikely that the Fartfuhrer can hang on, that the heroes of Wisconsin have a great opportunity to restore their state from the clutches of Republican tyranny.Back in the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin,... more

Images of Fahrenheit 451 come to mind, so I imagine today’s Republicans will not be the last book burners. Supply-side pseudo-Christians burned the great Library of Alexandria. The Nazis burned books that did not support their devious ways.

In the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, things are not going the way Fartfuhrer Walker would like them, either on the popularity front or the criminal investigation front. It is so grim, that I understand the Fartfuhrer is in hiding.

As we came out of New Hampshire, Newt Gingrich was almost back, way back in the race and devoting more time to selling his book than to campaigning. Suddenly, he surged into contention winning South Carolina. There is more than one reason this has happened. In fact there are ten million reasons, all emanating from one corporate criminal. It begs the question, “Why would anyone pay so much to elect Newt?”As we came out of New Hampshire, Newt Gingrich was almost back, way back in the race... more

I understand that Republicans carry a lot of hatred, inflamed as they are by disinformation from their candidates for office, and by even more extreme lies from the Republican Ministry of Propaganda, aka Fox. However filled with hate they may be, there is absolutely no excuse for them to express it in a hate crime against a defenseless animal, just because the pet’s owner is the Campaign Manager for a Democrat.I understand that Republicans carry a lot of hatred, inflamed as they are by... more

Gabrielle Giffords is a Blue Dog. I did not always agree with her votes, but I have to admire her courage, and any Republican would have been far worse. A little over a year ago, Sarah “Bullseye Barbie” Palin, former Republican candidate for Vice President, turned professional liar for Faux Noise, targeted Gabby with cross-hairs, and a madman, Jared Lee Loughner, pulled the trigger, killing six and wounding thirteen, including Gabby. Yesterday Gabby announced her retirement.Gabrielle Giffords is a Blue Dog. I did not always agree with her votes, but I have... more

The Republicans have met in the state that still flies the Confederate flag and made their choice for their nominee for President. If we can depend on the results, which I do not think we can, then Newt Gingrich won it in a landslide, trouncing Mitt Romney. The SC win was especially valuable for Gingrich, because SC is one of the states that are still winner take all.The Republicans have met in the state that still flies the Confederate flag and made... more

It did not take long for there to be a legal challenge to Barack Obama’s recess appointments. As I anticipated, the challenge comes from a business front group, rather than from the Republican Party, as Republicans have no standing to sue over them. The manner in which the challenge has developed could nor demonstrate more clearly why the appointments were so necessary.It did not take long for there to be a legal challenge to Barack Obama’s recess... more

We have more good news for the oppressed laborers in the totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin. Two of Walker’s best buddies are proving to be just like he is, and in the process, demonstrating that Walker is not fit to govern at even the county level.We have more good news for the oppressed laborers in the totalitarian Corporate... more

Over in the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, Scott Walker has been sipping some heavy duty whine. He is claiming massive voter fraud, wasted resources and more in an attempt to discredit the snowballing recall effort from patriots trying to restore Wisconsin. Of course Walker is lying. In fact, there’s little Walker and his Koch sucking thugs won’t to save his job.Over in the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin,... more
