And his Justice Department’s refusal to prosecute same for voter intimidation? Probably just a coincidence. Let’s see if the Washington Post, who is spending quite a bit of its energy on trying to tether Rick Perry to an old “racist” rock he had nothing to do with (and that his family literally reacted against), finds time to cover this latest apparent Obama brush with race-baiting Black nationalist radicals. Because Lord
"Shock Photos: Candidate Obama Appeared And Marched With New Black Panther Party in 2007"
A re-unified Germany turns 21
— Has its first dozen or so legal pints and Jaeger shots with friends, then makes a late-night Taco Bell run before returning home to watch a DVD of old Beavis and Butthead episodes and pass out on the couch. Poland breathes a sigh of relief.
"Underwear-bomb maker believed dead in Yemen strike"
Ron Paul not sure what to think, secretly blames Jews and the Fed. Me, I don’t have Paul’s problem: just tell all the proceduralists and faux-constituionalists pretending to find fault with the killing of a traitorous ex-pat waging war against the US that this dude — and not the poor misguided American robbed of his due process protections and Miranda warnings — was the primary target. And that the poor
"Why I didn't take to the streets with my Occupy Wall Street comrades": confessions of a displaced, underprivileged working man fighting to stay afloat in today's unjust hyper-capitalist America
Honestly? Because I was working. Plus, the smell. I mean, yes, street tacos and hot dogs are the People’s food. But that doesn’t mean they don’t tend to, you know, repeat on a brother or sister.
October is a month of autumn leaves and Tubular Bells. And of course, the protein wisdom October fundraiser [sticky; new posts below; TUESDAY UPDATE; FINAL FRIDAY UPDATE]
If it helps, just pretend I’m a U.S.-based solar start-up, and you have no choice but to give. Only I won’t insult you at the end of the day by showing off my whistling spa robots. **** Tuesday update: A little under half-way home this month. Thanks to all who’ve contributed. **** Friday update: I’ll leave this post up today and tomorrow, then it gets bumped back to its original
The Zionist Question
Ran Radosh takes on John Judis and Andrew Sullivan — the latter of whom seems now to be confusing Israel with Trig Palin, and AIPAC with Sarah Palin’s lying evil womb of Satan. Most interesting about this piece, from my point of view, is that it illustrates how revisionist historians and politically-motivated “journalists” work to invert easily accessible fact into “conventional truths” that argue the inverse. And it is the
Did the first Black President
…just take a veiled shot at the first half Black President? Historic!
"Emails show Operation Fast and Furious was shared with Obama counterterrorism adviser John Brennan — and perhaps beyond"
What did they know and when did they know it? And more importantly, what is it that they are trying to cover up, and why? At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out the White House was using Solyndra to ship assault weapons to Mexican drug cartels at a 50% loss. Would you? (thanks to geoffB and Doug Ross)
"Liberal PAC endorses progressive candidates because 'Electing Democrats is not enough'"
Talk about having your finger on the pulse of the country. Faster, please!
"Ron Paul Condemns Killing of al Qaeda’s Awlaki"
Evidently, Paul wasn’t swayed by the argument that traitors waging war against the US from foreign countries aren’t entitled to due process rights, especially when al Qaeda stubbornly resists our efforts to serve search warrants in certain neighborhoods on the Arabian Peninsula. And because he’s is nuttier than a squirrel’s stool.
