Sometimes people ask why the Arizona government is seemingly hell-bent on driving this state into bankruptcy. Well, right here is part of the reason. These rapacious fucks worship on the altar of privatization. The more government services that they destroy, the more that they can shuffle off to their corporate buddies.
WARNING! Political content ahead. Excellent piece by Richard Eskow explaining that what Washington insiders call “centrism” does not reflect the actual positions of a majority of Americans. 
Dig this angry mick laying out the reasons why Ireland’s economy is buggered. Especially the part where he points out that the U.S. is next. “Wankin’ bankers,” indeed. Continue reading Why I Love the Irish 
WARNING: Political content ahead! Local politics too no less — skip this one if that ain’t your bag. This actually took even less time than I anticipated, but is it in any way shape or form surprising? Today Jan Brewer, the daffy bint that Arizona swept into office as Governor, revealed her master-plan for fixing the State’s economy. Of course, as anyone with half a brain cell could have predicted, it consists of…wait for it… 
WARNING: Political Content Ahead! I sadly have to disagree with PZ over at Pharyngula regarding the controversy surrounding some bumpkin’s plan to burn a copy of the Qur’an.

Congratulations to the sane people of California. As a general note to others on the Left, this is how you get a bad law changed: through the ballot box and the courtroom — not by hyperbolic vitriol from overindulged celebrities.
WARNING: Political Content Ahead! MSNBC (amongst others) is reporting that, pretty much as expected, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton has issued an injunction blocking the most heinous and constitutionally bogus provisions of Arizona SB 1070. While this is good news from the perspective of justice, we need to be clear on a few things. First, this is only a temporary injunction until the final court decisions are made.

WARNING: Political content ahead. I’ve been saying all along that AZ SB 1070 was never about actually dealing with undocumented immigration, or even racism for racism’s sake. Instead it’s nothing more than a transparent ploy by the GOP to rally the racists in Arizona for the next election. Here’s some proof to back up my thesis.
