I Love My Country-The Government is Another Issue
The recent controversy over the Reverend Wright has produced another round of the old, right wing cliche about loving this country or leaving it. You would think think that after all these years of using the same hackneyed catch phrase that these people would find something a little more creative than “my country right [...]
We All Live in a Nazi Loony Bin
WE ALL LIVE IN A NAZI LOONY BIN
Based on “Yellow Submarine”
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by PraetorOne and BibleBelted
In the town where George was born
No one told him what he should be
And he threw away his life
Smoking weed that was so green
So he prayed unto the son
Til he found a God extreme

Television and the Growing Epidemic of Stupidity
Americans are among the most uninformed people on the face of the earth. We are surrounded by media of all sorts. We have access to newspapers,magazines, television, and the internet,and yet we are among the least educated people in the entire world. By the same token we also watch a disproportionate amount [...]
Lurita Doan finally forced out…by the White House no less.
No one besides Karl Rove has done more to politicize the GSA than Lurita Doan. This woman had no clue as to how to run a huge federal government department and most likely got her job because she was a ‘loyal Bushie’. Ms. Doan had also been criticized for proposing to cut $5 million from [...]
Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
I don’t know if the electorate are really bitter or not, but today’s Ten Post Round-Up will probably leave a grimy taste in your mouth:
1: So it seems that the only people that benefit from your college education is the college and the banks that issue student loans…

Better late than never

Hate Fear and Be Aware
HATE, FEAR, AND BE AWARE
Based on “Here, There, and Everywhere”
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by BibleBelted and PraetorOne
To lead a greater Reich, I need to wallow in lies
Hate. Bigotry should make us great
Mongering rage with a wave of my hand
Nobody can
Tell me that I shouldn’t hate
Fear. New Paranoia this year
Telling the [...]
Shades of America
A couple of observations about race are rumbling through my brain today.First, one thing the credible Obama candidacy has done is free African Americans from a lot of political baggage. Obama’s “yes we can” is as much about discarding a defeatist mindset in blacks as in the country as a whole. It’s no longer viable [...]
McCain’s healthcare plan; created by the healthcare industry
I know McCain isn’t stupid..but for the love of Buddha wtf is the deal with asking healthcare industry lobbyists to craft a plan for him? From CAF we get this lil tidbit:
McCain and his handlers knew they had to say something about health care. So they turned to their friends (and financial supporters) in the [...]
excellent post
and no, it isn’t mine- so read away
watch and weep- human voices
“Our Bushtopia can always find a way to get you to buy oil, no matter who suffers in the process and they’re very good at making it sound like patriotism. Of course real patriotism has little to do with lapel pins or [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Sometimes it’s hard to believe in the “benevolent brotherhood of man”. Today’s Ten Post Round-Up will probably not make it any easier:
1: The Supremes say it’s OK to require government-issued photo ID card in order to vote…
As Election Nears, Supreme Court Upholds Repressive Voter ID Law–AlterNet
2: The Secret Service rampant [...]
The Real John McCain
So you think you know John McCain? Well, friends and neighbors the chances are that you don’t. I have no doubt that McCain and his handlers have placed a lot of time and effort in polishing is reputation and in keeping him from erupting in the public square, but the truth [...]
