Sitting here watching On the Volcanoes of the World. Viewing the world's largest lava lake in a volcano in the Congo. I say we round up all those responsible for these travesties and put them in a boat and set them adrift on that lake!
Doesn't matter, BB2. Even with a pristine vote, this can't be fixed. The machines will make it easier for everybody... for them to get who they want and throw out who they want, and for us as long as we continue to insist voting can ever fix this. Brad will make a shitload more money to stay able to go in and proudly continue to have NO effect with his progressive-fascist connections. Grayson will continue to wow the progressives and libertarians with his vivid displays, reminding us how virtuous and intelligent we are, and we can phone it in.
I'm sure you've noticed that every election across the entire spectrum of fascist-manipulated states has gone to shit over the past few years. There is a reason for that, and we just keep sleeping through it.
NOW everybody can scream and wail about electronic voting again instead of overthrow the plutocrats.
THEY DON'T CARE. And neither do the people who gain from our avid concern over atrocities such as this. They get famous on us getting fucked. We get fucked anyway. For however long we won't stand up, we get fucked.
It's all distraction. It's all a game, a rigged house. Keep yer eyes on what's actual and it ain't elections and it ain't any of this theatrical legislation either.
Bad guys are in control. We take that from them, or we shut up.
secretive nuclear activities MAY undergo unprecedented scrutiny
If Obama has this image blown up to life size and framed in the Oval Office, then maybe, but, well, I honestly think they are acutely aware of how pissed off we are and that every opportunity to make it seem as though they are about to FINALLY do the right thing leeches off X number of irate citizens from their negative numbers. Picture it as keeping a pot of water perpetually at one tenth of a degree below boiling. I think this stuff is like the thermostat that keeps us just that nano-notch below mass insurrection.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately
Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them. —Old Uncle Dave
As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country. —Pat Buchanan
Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids. —Scott Horton
There has to be altruism in the universe. —Frank Drake
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome. —Paul Craig Roberts
I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world." —Chris Floyd
The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below. —Howard Zinn
...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable. —Matt Taibbi
· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.
· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.
· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.
Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further. —Ted Rall
As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice. —Michael Parenti
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton
