For those who haven’t seen the seminal film The Birth of a Nation, it remains to this day revered by some as a significant cinematic achievement– because of its usage of technical innovation– the usage of lighting, editing and close-ups was ahead of its time.  It’s also despised for its graphically stereotypical portrayals of Black [...]

How can the government run health care, if the damn white house server can’t even sustain streaming video?  I kid.  [...]

February 9th, 2010 · 2 Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, Elections, News, Politics, Racism, Republicans, america

The National Tea Party Convention concluded this past weekend, and  If you’ve already read part one, then you know that the tone of the convention was set very early on.  Racial paranoia wafted heavily in the air over the weekend, dampening the intended message of anti-tax, and anti-government intervention the movement was trying to focus [...]

Would A Brown Win Actually Be Good For Dems?

January 19th, 2010 · No Comments · Elections, News, Politics, america

Talk About Chutzpah

January 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized

This is the equivalent of a literary grenade, thrown into synangogues around America.  Jennifer Rubin dishes on the “hatred” Jews feel toward Sarah Palin:
…Her personal life made her even more alien to American Jews. She comes from the wilderness, brags about hunting and eating native animals, and is a proud gun owner. Then there is [...]

December 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Democracy, Democrats, Elections, Politics, america

MEEP MEEP– December 23rd, 2009:
I will freely admit that I am in the tank for Barack Obama.  I believe his combination of pragmatism, measured cool, intelligence, and willingness to find the common ground–were exactly what this country needed after eight years of the Bush administration’s feckless policies, and unilateral bullishness.  I am not in the [...]

December 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Democracy, Democrats, Health Care, Republicans, america

From the Confederate Yankee:
Robert Byrd has been around a very long time, and his many decades of service have made West Virginia a wonderful state in which to manufacture methamphetamine or frame the locals for murder. But it’s time for Senator to do the right thing, and expire. It isn’t too much to ask for [...]
