  WARNING: Political content ahead! Sometimes I wonder if the leadership of the Democratic Party isn’t infested with Republican moles (cue the cries from the false–equivalency brigade that all politicians are horrible). If not, then they certainly epitomize the words of wisdom offered by the venerable Dark Helmet, “Evil will always win, because Good is stupid.” Continue reading Of Muslims, Mosques and Morons  Another nifty animation from The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce — this one illustrating a talk by Jeremy Rifkin, author of the Empathic Civilization. I haven’t read this yet, but I just added it to my iBooks queue. Continue reading The Empathic Civilization 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. Continue reading Suck It Honkeys 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. Continue reading The Real Reason for AZ SB 1070 I think that I’ve done battle with all of these jokers. WARNING: Political content ahead. Like they say, all politics are local, so here is a wonderful slice of Arizona politics via Think Progress. The long and short of it is that the Republican candidate for Arizona’s Superintendent of Public Instruction John “who needs to actually fund education” Huppenthal was, himself, schooled when a high school student confronted him about his abysmal record regarding funding education. Like a typical GOP tool, when faced with the truth Huppenthal ran off in a huff and declared that he was being “punked” by Democratic dirty tricks. I suppose that this just demonstrates that Arizona doesn’t just hate the beaners. It hates an educated populous too. WARNING: Political Content Ahead! This is a difficult post to write. On the one hand, I vehemently oppose Arizona Senate Bill 1070; the so-called “immigration law.” The law is nothing more than a patently transparent attempt by the right-wing to whip up support amongst the racists here in order to make gains in this year’s elections. It’s the Southern Strategy for a new century. On the other hand, I’m bemused by the spate of groups who have taken it upon themselves to punish Arizona by boycotting or canceling events here. Take, for example, the recent decision by Hall and Oates to cancel their Arizona dates as part of a “Sound Strike“. Continue reading Boycott This! Very interesting article on Salon.com by Michael Lind detailing the history of American Capitalism and where we go from here. |
