Enough is Enough
We have endured this pretense that Fox News is a legitimate news organization for too long. It's not. It's the 24 hour propaganda channel of the Republican party, and Washington should marginalize and stigmatize it until it withers and dies. (More on this in a later post).
The first step is for all real

This cartoon is just so brilliantly wrong, it's completely right. I wish every grammar school in the country walked students through each type of selfish ignorance depicted here.
Maybe then more kids would grow up knowing that most of what they enjoy came from the efforts (and taxes) of their parents and grandparents, and their parents

So whose side is the Republican Party on?

We're a Crowd making a list
As the midterm elections approach, there is a need for a list of Obama Achievements that progressives can use for voter and media education efforts. The administration has had far more significant accomplishments than the media have given much notice to, and better information can and will help

I just watched…
one my favorite George Carlin clips, after laughing my ass off at the introduction to it on this site, which is another in a long line Alex Jones/Prison Planet conspiracy subsets of the insanity soiling and spoiling this nation.
Such manipulation is getting more common with each passing week, and this one

The Tea Party Jacobins — Mark Lilla, NY Times Book Review
A new strain of populism is metastasizing before our eyes, nourished by the same libertarian impulses that have unsettled American society for half a century now. Anarchistic like the Sixties, selfish like the Eighties, contradicting neither, it is estranged, aimless, and as juvenile as

The death of American accountability – John McQuaid
But it’s increasingly clear that our “systems” are simultaneously both too complex and not sophisticated enough to deal with the problems at hand. The disappearance of clear-cut mechanisms of accountability is just the most obvious sign.

"Bernie Goldberg Fires Back"
The Daily Show 4/20/2010 — Length: 11:54
Jon "apologizes" for criticizing Bernie Goldberg and Fox News, but it's only because they're a terrible, cynical, disingenuous news organization. Do NOT shut this off half way thru. The real punchline comes after the lengthy setup.
Please retweet this with the green

This is a wonderful interview, and like most of the Washington Journal good stuff, it was buried in the early morning segment when only we hard core @cspanWJ watchers even saw it.
You really need to spend some time with this segment. He covers a lot of ground, and he knows his subject(s) really well. He's
