The Price

October 28, 2010

To the Magnificent People of The United States of America:

It is with much humility that I offer you these words. But it is, in my opinion, time for a full recognition that the United States has been utterly and completely conquered by Corporate Interests.

Wars are often re-fought, however, and the time to reengage is upon us. And as the recent past has shown us, the road to winning a war depends mainly on will and the understanding of the battlefield and enemy.

Anarchy, Death Nazis! Fox News gives up on ‘Elitist’ complete sentences

October 26, 2010

NEW YORK - “Anarchist, terrorist, commie, death!” said Glenn Beck.

“Obama 9/11 9/11 Muslim!! Nazi death Democrats!” shouted Sean Hannity.

While the above appear to be little more than random scare words thrown together, for Rupert Murdoch and Fox News, they institute a new pre-election strategy.

Starting this morning, Fox News personalities will use the final week prior to the mid-term elections to connect with their viewership on an entirely new level - by just using words that will get them fired up to vote.

“Having studied the issue, we feel our viewers believe complete sentences and opinions are elitist nonsense,” said Murdoch. “So we decided to streamline the process.”

On Fox & Friends this morning, Brian Kilmeade started the new plan with a flourish.

“Kenyan anarchist death Obama Reid!” said Kilmeade.

“Anarchy, death?” asked co-host Gretchen Carlson.

“Nazi grandma-killers Feingold socialist murder enslavement!” responded liberal guest host Juan Williams.

For Fox News viewers, the new strategy is a welcome change, as many have complained that the network has become lost in a sea of elitest complete sentences that have no part in real political discourse.

“I big words bad hate,” said one Fox News viewer. “Socialism!”

The pre-election strategy will culminate on Election day, with a 24-hour Glenn Beck marathon to be called “Democrats Black Muslim Murder Murder Murder Murder!!!!!!”

Beck said he’s been working overtime to prepare for the big show.

“Illegals Brown Death to non-white Anarchy Nazi fascism liberal kill,” said Beck, who asked his supporters to “Peaceful death anarchy kill!”

Let the Tax Man cometh for God

October 25, 2010

“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

If there has been one phrase reverberating across the United States the past decade or so, it’s that “Freedom isn’t Free.” So why is Freedom of Religion free?

As conservatives and liberals alike fret over the current U.S. deficit, Republicans have made it clear that they believe any new taxes would stifle growth and hurt business both large and small. But religion is not a business.

Ok, those last six words are, of course, terribly naive, but are correct in at least a figurative sense. A Church or religion is not a charity. They may commit acts of charity, but it is done for a singular purpose – to encourage people to follow their beliefs. The more that follow those beliefs, the more money is taken in by the church or religious entity.

Her Name Was Lori Klausutis, not “Dead Intern”

October 25, 2010

Lori Klausutis was a 28-year old woman. A wife & daughter. She ran marathons. She loved & was loved. She died July 20, 2001.

To many liberals, however, she is known only as “Dead Intern.” For liberals wanting to sting MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, the “Dead Intern” line gives them a free shot at “Morning Joe.” Regardless of the fact they are dehumanizing a woman who died far too young. And regardless of the fact that the only connections Scarborough has to her death are nebulous ones created by conspiracy theorists.

Her name was Lori Klausutis. If you want to research her death, and try to “solve the case,” fine. But calling her “Dead Intern” to try and score political points against Joe Scarborough defiles her memory, and your own humanity.

William K. Wolfrum’s Morning: This is War

October 22, 2010


Guess which side is winning this particular war?

Wolfrum’s Word

You aren’t supposed to talk about this, but the U.S. is seriously mired in Class Warfare, and has been for a long, long time. And the upper class is just plain kicking the crap out of the lower classes. Perhaps it’s time to stop ignoring the raging war around us.

If it’s Wednesday, there must be Boobies - for Breast Cancer

October 20, 2010

“My story begins on a cold February morning, in the shower. I felt a small, hard lump above the nipple on my left breast. I quickly stopped feeling for it and went on with the day I had planned. The next day, and the one after that, and the one after that, it was still there.

A week later I happened to have an appointment for my annual physical. I mentioned it to my doctor. As she was examining me, her lips were saying ‘I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about’ but her eyes told me something else.”

“Blowing Smoke” Blows Away Right-Wing Narratives

October 19, 2010

Following the election of Barack Obama to the office of President of the United States, writer Michael Wolraich surveyed the political aftermath and came to a simple conclusion – the Right-Wing has gone utterly mad.

Wolrich’s new book “Blowing Smoke” (longer title: “Blowing Smoke: Why the Right Keeps Serving Up Whack-Job Fantasies about the Plot to Euthanize Grandma, Outlaw Christmas, and Turn Junior into a Raging Homosexual”) takes an in-depth look at what Wolraich calls “Persecution Politics,” and how the right-wing has worked overtime for years to create a brotherhood of victimhood for Conservatives.

“There’s a reason that only one percent of Tea Party supporters are black and only 41 percent believe that Obama was born in the United States. For over three decades, the right wing has been developing a powerful narrative according to which an alliance of liberal elites, racial minorities, and other marginal groups seek to persecute white, Christian conservatives,” writes Wolraich, founder of the popular blog “Dagblog”.
