I have this problem. Whenever I try to explain what's happening in American politics-I mean, what's really happening-I wind up sounding a bit like an unhinged conspiracy theorist. (nytimes.com)

Thursday can't forget about O.J.

Hello and welcome. I do not want to hear any more garbage about O.J. Simpson. He should be in jail already, and he will be headed there now. End of story, fucking mainstream media can't get enough of this dog fed bullshit. Also, we need to break the fascist spell that is overpowering us with police brutality. There is no need for tasers and 'pain guns'. And just to make your day peachy, the American dollar has sunk down to the equivalent of a Canadian dollar. The exchange rate with the Euro is now at 1.4. Gah, our money is being flushed down the drain.


The mainstream media has covered O.J. Simpson 10 times more than the protests in Jena, the failure of the habeus corpus bill, and other stories that are actually important. (ablogistan.com)

Wednesday's Greenspan?

Hello all. So, yeah- Greenspan? What do you think, is he just another fleeing rat? I would lean that way, but the decision is up to you. Honestly, I don't trust anyone from the administration. Call me a liberal if you will, but I smell fish. Rotten, stinking, rat-like fish. Also, have you ever been tasered? With all the tasering hype lately, I wouldn't be surprised. Hope your day is as peachy as mine!

Bush invaded a country to rid it of imaginary weapons of mass destruction. When he didn’t find any, he declared victory and changed the mission to democracy building.
