   The veneer of civility has always been tissue thin.

   About midpoint in part two of this series your blood will start to run cold. This is who they are; it’s what they do.

   Meanwhile 13 years into the new millenia, Greece heads back to pre-agrarianism and virtually nobody asks why this is.

   It’s because of sociopaths ruining money. And nowhere worse than in the US.

   Is this available in text anywhere? My connection isn’t liking video today and I really would rather read than be lectured to any way.

   Sweet Meteor of Death, where is thy sting?

   Seriously, if we’re this fucked up, do we deserve to go on?

   It looks as if either way we go out in a blaze of glory, cranky.

   Hail of bullets or SMOD.

    JHo, I would appreciate the text version of this as well. We have ice storms and my connection is hinky today.

    OT: OMG Richard Blumenthal is a blithering idiot and a fool. On FNS he just stated that Chuck Hagel is a “war hero” and had a “distinguished career” in the Senate as well as being a man of “great personal integrity”.

    I may have to go lie down.

    Watching talking-head shows is hazardous to your health, even when they are on FauxNewz.

    As for a printed version, your research is as good as mine. I don’t know if one exists.

    I found the talk most interesting when the presenter went into the pretext of moral authority assumed by institutional edict — the fascism of academe framing and intolerance, or what we around here call illiberalism.

    He even calls it bullshit, a reference I frequently make, and one certain to prove both his and my intellectual inferiority to said institute and said proclamation.

    Hence also ultimately Visigoths, hobbits, et all, all of which bode poorly for Establican fascists who stifle apt descriptions of reality by knee-padding for such statist leftwing falseness. “If you’re not part of the solution…”, and like that.

    Here we are again, folks, staring down the barrel of fascism. That only sounds rhetorical…and again, in the ears of the left today the sound and modified trajectory of language defines language, per some of Jeff’s posts today.
