11+ QUESTIONS MICHAEL ERIC DYSON WOULD NEVER ASK OBAMA

With Dr. Michael Eric Dyson’s long-winded attack on Dr. Cornel West via New Republic still fresh on my mind, I kept saying to myself this evening that hundreds of Libyan migrants recently drowned at sea because they tried to escape the country they deemed home—until President Obama’s policies turned Libya into a bloodied, failed state. I then asked […]

WHEN ‘RELIGIOUS FREEDOM’ BECOMES A WEAPON OF SOCIAL DESTRUCTION

Aside from the implications of the bill Indiana Governor Mike Spence signed into law that allows businesses to refuse service to gays as a weapon to fight against government civil overreach, you have to be amused by the way lawmakers across America create jacked-up pieces of legislation, and then dress them up to sound promising […]

REPORT: BIG FIRMS SPEND BILLIONS FOR GOVERNMENT LOVE, GET TRILLIONS BACK

Armed with the understanding that corporate money has turned the US system of government into an oligarchy, and that the country’s Supreme Court confirmed this scheme through the Citizens United ruling, you shouldn’t be surprised about anything the Sunlight Foundation can add to your thinking—right?

WHILE YOU PARTY IN SELMA…

So, you’re marching in Selma today for the star-studded 50th anniversary of the beating Martin Luther King Jr’s followers took as they tried to cross the Edmund Pettus bridge. I don’t fault you for attempting to connect with what I also see as an important part of American history, but while you march today in one […]

SURPRISED THAT IRAN DOESN’T HAVE A NUKE?

Prior to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s self-proclaimed “historic mission” to deliver a speech to Congress yesterday, an interesting development occurred which you won’t likely see in the mainstream Western newspapers—nearly 200 former commanders from Israel’s security forces have condemned Netanyahu’s visit to America.

NETANYAHU = NERVE

How would you describe a lot of damn nerve? Let’s say you were cold busted framing one of your neighbors for a robbery. That’s nerve. You then wanted to address your block association to reaffirm your neighbor’s so-called guilt. That’s some damn nerve.

PIMPS AND THE PIMPED: GREECE’S AUSTERITY BATTLE WITH EU

How’s this for a surreal landscape within a modern Western economy: people who have Master’s degrees live in homes with no heat and electricity because their jobs as coffee shop servers make home utilities luxury items; minimum wage has dropped by 40 percent; the dire economic circumstances have sparked a meteoric rise in adult suicides; […]
