This video, featuring Congressman Jack Kingston from Georgia, would be very funny if it wasn’t so scary. In it he talks, among other things, about Nancy Pelosi’s $30 million earmark to save California rats! For those who are suffering economic hardships, Kingston suggests you go to Los Angeles and borrow some money from these rats, [...]

Did you see what Nancy Pelosi had to say about the dire job situation in America? In case you didn’t catch it, she said that 500 million Americans lose their jobs every month that the economic downturn lasts. That means the country has lost at least 2 billion jobs since the recession began. Even allowing [...]

In my new video I look at the way the Emperor’s Clothing Syndrome has dominated the arts and humanities over the past half century, with the help of academic practitioners looking for theories to build on, trying to carve out some academic territory for themselves and becoming the high priests or priestesses of their chosen [...]

[Cross-posted from Heidi Li's Potpourri] Disagreements about how to end injustice, and specific injustices, are as old as injustice itself. Whether one is considering the injustices of colonialism, racist domination, oppression of women…in each and every one of these areas, those who can agree in broad general principle have often found themselves disagreeing over specifics, [...]

Plans are underway for a National Barack Obama Holiday. Yes, that’s right, someone is actually working on a Barack Obama National Holiday, as was done for several other of Achievement and Greatness.

I have NO idea as to the origin of these bumper stickers, but they are good! Well, I can certainly agree with that – that’s the only reason I am willing to consider McCain: Obama. I could get rich selling this one. Aw, hell – any one of them…

George Bush was a catastrophic disaster. It will take years to undo the damage to our international reputation, domestic problems, and tightening of our Constitutional rights, even if we had a reliable and highly experienced Democratic candidate who could win. Instead the Democratic Party left many of us, first by failing on so many lofty [...]

Since the mysterious and rather sudden insertion of Comrade Obama into the political landscape, America 2008 is sounding more like America of the late 60s and early 70s. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the regression of racial and gender relations, which Barack Obama has managed to set back by a minimum of 40 [...]

The Audacity of Mendacity should be Barack-The- Communist-Obama’s next book, really. Hoping to keep what’s really going on from the public eye, including his own longtime involvement with ACORN, and in order to quell the First Amendment once again while allowing voter registration fraud to continue on his behalf, Comrade Barack Obama’s attorney has written [...]

Just maybe sort of thought you might want to check this out, oh I don’t know just because maybe you might be interested, so here’s a screenshot of a section at Memeorandum.com: So, did millions of Americans become intrigued with and mesmerized by Obama and end up on “dates” with him, only to have some [...]

How about this? We may be sleepwalking into monarchy. There is a fundamental matter at stake in this election: The loss of what our “Founding Fathers” so carefully laid out in our U.S. Constitution: The utter necessity for “checks and balances.” Our great cartoonist Pat Racimora couldn’t contain herself yesterday afternoon when she saw our [...]
