New Scholarship for White Men

A man in Texas has formed a non-profit to distribute scholarships to white men. While well to do, or “connected” white men get a lot of breaks – poor guys have to pretty much claw and scratch for themselves. So no, in my view it isn’t racism – in that unlike conservatives it isn’t trying [...]

Shagging Moose… Maine (R) Guv LePage, BPA and Bearded Women

Libya and the Story of Chances None and Slim… And Slim Left Town on a Fast Train

Appears to be a rising call that the US step in and do something about the raging Civil War in Libya… Seems to me to be about the dumbest thing the US could ever do is intervene in any way in another Middle Eastern disaster – virtually guaranteeing another Afghanistan 3-5 way war, with about the only thing [...]

Fostering Extremism and Hate

While the SPLC doesn’t regard the Tea Party Movement as a hate group – I think that is an exercise in semantics. Some pretty fine hair splitting, indeed. In Arizona, “Hate Central” for the “movement”, Republican legislators have drafted an even more draconian gang-rape of the Constitution… Number of U.S. hate groups on the rise, report says [...]

The Buffalo Beast Punks Scott Walker

Hat Tip to Roderick for being first off the blocks with this one! What happens when the guy who bought Scott Walker calls?

More Dirty Money – Did Madoff Pay Off SEC Lawyers?

Yet another story of dirty money making it’s way into the hands of the folks who are supposed to protect our system.

Where’s the Russians When You need Them?

The Tea Begins to Crumble in the US…

It has taken a while, but there has been a dramatic change of public opinion about the Tea Party, and it’s sugar daddies – not the least driven by folks experiencing exactly what having these folks in power means.
