Americans know who's fault it is:
"On Political Affiliation:
When asked which political party most Americans believe to be responsible for many of the gravest problems facing the world:
* War: 62% blamed Republicans vs. 14% Democrats
* Global Warming: 56% blamed Republicans vs. 10% Democrats
* Prejudice: 52% blamed Republicans vs. 22% for Democrats
* Poverty: 49% held Republicans accountable; 29% Democrats
* Corruption: 47% blamed Republicans vs. 31% Democrats
* Crime: On this issue, respondents reversed the trend, with 42% blaming Democrats vs. 23% Republicans."
Riddle me this: How the fuck do Republicans get elected at all?

Minimum Wage...yeeeehaaa...
I am watching the debate live (well, live for me), drinking coffee, and watching the equivocation.
What strikes me as interesting is the format: Questions from people all over this country, asked in a formal or informal manner, so tough, and, in John Edwards's case, his questioner on gay marriage showing up in the audience to push him on his gay marriage position further. Ostensibly, it all seems very egalitarian.
It would be interesting to see what questions got rejected, and on what grounds. It seems to me that, on the net, Gravel and Kucinich, get a lot of play, yet they are not getting many questions. Would I be out of line if I said, out loud, that CNN et al. , in the annointment of Hillary Clinton, are actively working to make sure it comes to pass?
Bush will leave the mechanism that has created this disaster, and who can we trust to not only resist using this mechanism, but dismantle it completely. Nothing good can come of it, even if it is used for "good reasons".
So...six months out, I'm interested in hearing who you like and why.
Update: Bush don't like it.

Le Decider
You want Freedom Fries with that?
"'This is why I would like to tell you: Enough thinking, already. Roll up your sleeves'...[Finance Minister Christine Lagarde] said the French should work harder, earn more and be rewarded with lower taxes if they get rich..”
"'This is why I would like to tell you: Enough thinking, already. Roll up your sleeves'...[Finance Minister Christine Lagarde] said the French should work harder, earn more and be rewarded with lower taxes if they get rich..”
Bad habit, that thinking thing. Since we, as a nation, stopped thinking, and elected staunch anti intellectuals, look how great things have turned out.
Turns out that the French, being human, are perfectly capable of stupidity: They elected their own George Bush:
"Certainly, the new president himself has cultivated his image as a nonintellectual. 'I am not a theoretician', he told a television interviewer last month. 'I am not an ideologue. Oh, I am not an intellectual! I am someone concrete!'".
With the rocks in his head to prove it.
Ladies and Gentlemen...Macaca
I have but one question: Can Romney be any stupider?
Get the feeling that this isn't going to go over too well?

Google's hiring of Rob Shilkin doesn't necessarily mean that Google is becoming a Technofascist Monster...
What it does mean is that Shilkin is emblematic of NeoCons in general: They are cynical opportunists, with no core beliefs aside from increasing their own wealth and widening the corporate hegenomy.
In other words (to quote Zappa): The kind of "all American girls that will do anything, ANYTHING...for 50 bucks."
