As Summer Fades

Summer has turned quickly into fall,
The air much colder,
The sea air so sweet,
Leaves falling from the trees,
Like ten  thousand passions.
...Where you and I will always meet.

Dear Alan Simpson Former Senator, Current Political Gadfly:

I have a few questions for you former Senator, is that how I shoud refer to you?   Can I Call you Al? Well Al, you really stepped in it, and you made me laugh hard. I always think you old guys will learn, you know, understand the public, even a little bit, but you don't do you? You old white guys are just plain out of touch with what it is to live in America as a regular person. And as much as you try, you just don't get it, do you. Will you all ever come around, will you ever get it? Listen up, I am going to tell you a few things you really need to know. [Read more]

America by Heart: Reflections: The PreBook

It was going to be a long day, the day she sat down to write her book. She was positive she could get through this, and it wouldn't take long. She was well known because of her mastery of Facebook, Twitter, and the Big Scam. *More on that later* So she had a seat at her very beautiful desk. This was a desk she purchased from a Real Housewife, and boy was it beautiful. because Teresa Guidice had excellent taste.

My Gardener is a Beckerhead, and is Probably Attending Beck U & Other Oddities in American Life

How do I know, he asked me if I was investing in gold or selling gold. OMG, this guy, even though he is a landscaper, or some such thing, has three kids, gets his health care from the state because he doesn't make much money, recevies food stamps, and aid to go to school. But he always rants about ObamaCare, socialism, fascism, etc! What? Yes you are thinking the same thing I am. However, Beck is ripping off poor folk, who don't know any better, and I feel bad for them. While at the same time, i wonder if I should fire him for being such a numbnuts.

Oh well, I never fire anyone. So at least he has that. [Read more]

Secret Communication Sent to Wikileaks by a Private? I Just Don't Believe This Story.

Yesterday or the day before that, as we all know Wikileaks dumped 76,000 secret documents onto their site, and are editing another 15,000 or something like that to dump soon, for all the world to see. And to tell you the truth, I have little to say about Julian Assange, except, who in the hell told him that hairstyle was flattering. He looks like a broke down, Diane Sawyer.

Okay enough of that, let's get serious. Let's talk about top secret documents, let's talk about electronic security and let's talk about the Pentagon. [Read more]

The Real Andrew "Appletini" Breitbart

I'd always assumed Breitbart looked as horrible as he seems. His evil intentions remind me of One of Shakespeare's most evil creations, he manoeuvres his way to the throne by a series of murderous plots. He is ruthlessly violent when he needs to be, but it is his skill in twisting language to his own ends and an ability to hide his true intentions that allow him to control events in the play so completely. Yes you know who it is, King Richard III.

h/t to atalsfugged at Gawker for supplying us with this awesome, awesome picture.

Populism, Party Disunity, and American Politics

The TeaParty has big dreams. They dream of third party status, becoming powerful, directing public policy, controlling the government. As a movement, they are big, big dreamers.

Throughout American electoral history social movements in search of political power have transformed themselves into pseudo political parties, often with quite limited success. Important examples include the temperance and agrarian movements, as well as efforts by leftist and labor groups and the Progressives of the 1940s. The National Organization for Women is just another one of those movements that attempted to build a third party, and failed. Of course none of these movements have become competitive political parties.

His obvious profession is not Botany as one would expect if you were born with a name that made one think of 4/20, and another fellow by the name of David Barton, who is a the rights favorite pseudo-historian accoriding to People for the American Way. [Read more]
