Is this a case of the media creating an exploitative story for financial and/or political benefit or were they just doing their job and holding a politician’s feet to the fire?

What does that do to the Petri dish of American society when injustice is virulent? Doesn’t it create an ideal breeding ground for the kind of racism, intolerance, chauvinism and venomous “debate” that has become so mainstream today?

It’s understandable that no candidate would choose to openly campaign on cannibalism, except perhaps Ron Paul, so this terrifying agenda has been well hidden by Romney’s campaign until Ted Nugent’s accidental slip about it at the NRA convention.

America has become one big cynical carnival of games but at least the GOP has even been considerate enough to throw in a number of clowns at no extra cost.

The Rush Limbaugh Boycott…..success far beyond our hopes. As of Friday March 9, at least 61 sponsors had pulled their support from Rush Limbaugh’s daily rant and rave. On Thursday, Limbaugh’s program was practically devoid of paid advertisements. 86 spots aired. 77 were PSA’s, public service announcements donated by the [...]

Republicans love to hate, in fact, for Valentine’s Day today, the GOP website will send a dozen hateful pejoratives in a gift box to that special Muslim or gay person on your enemies list.

Corporations may have designed this mousetrap of buying cheap products bringing down wages but as long as consumers keep going for the cheese the corporations set out, they will continue to be the victim of this trap.

Single payer seems dead legislatively in California, not just as a bill but as an issue. It died not due to insurance industry opposition but due to the outrageous bullying tactics of its supporters. Nice job, BullyProgs.

There were so many worthy nominees deserving this PlanetPOV award for The Biggest Political F#%! Up of 2011, let’s just say that there are no winners, only losers and bigger losers.

2011 has been a roller-coaster year from start to finish.Hop aboard for a ride back through some of the year’s top stories.

We’ve heard plenty about what may have happened when Occupy Las Vegas moved Downtown yesterday. I wanted to share with you what I thought was the most poignant part, which was the part that did not receive all that much media attention. Take a look at the video above… And [...]

The 1% essentially owns many city governments in America. They have mayors and police forces as their army to defend their interests. This is “who” America really is. We’ve discovered that the friend we always thought was a nice guy has a very dangerous side.

This morning, the #OccupyOakland encampment is being shut down. Oakland police have arrested about 25 protesters at the sprawling Occupy Oakland encampment outside City Hall while hundreds of law-enforcement officers square off against demonstrators downtown in the second such raid of the tent city. Law-enforcement officers from numerous Bay Area [...]

There is such a sad feeling in this country now that our government seems to have completely failed us. The Occupy Movement is the 99 Percenters Response to that failure.

A late update from the 2011 Irish Presidential Elections.

A parody of The Edgar Allen Poe’s, The Raven…a terrifying Halloween horror for the top 1%!!!

if patriotism is supporting your government’s policies without question, supporting all the wealth going to the top 1%, then we are on our way to a totalitarian state of government.

One way or another, America as we know it will end in 2012. We will be living in an America where a wealthy class is cemented into power and economic dominance over the majority or it will be an America where the majority rallies to retake their nation and democracy back.

The Republican Presidential Candidates’ occupation of the GOP, or as they refer to it, Occupy Wack Street, doesn’t seem to have a leader and it’s not clear exactly what they want. Can this movement last?

The Italian word for “secret” is segreto. Remember that. About 38 years ago, when Watergate was making a splash across the news media, one Bob Woodward was directed to California, by one of the plea-bargaining culprits and told to speak with an ex-JAG lawyer named Donald Segretti. Segretti was a college [...]

A quick look into an Irish Presidential debate which I attended on the 20 October.

What if as a massive group, the American People enforced a TARP deal in the reverse direction, from the banks to the people?

The Occupy Wall Street protest is only growing, as is the movement nationally and worldwide. Here are some observations, video and media from Occupy Los Angeles.

Decades of social movement scholarship has failed to answer the question of why movements happen when they do, though there doesn’t seem an end anytime soon to people trying to answer the question.

Stating that gay people were born with their orientation seems like the perfect counter to the conservative argument that being gay is a choice, but this life-affirming rebuttal opens the door to other attacks.
