Week of February 1, 2009 - February 7, 2009

mushroom clouds and smoking guns

February 7, 2009, 11:31AM

A funny thing happened on the way to our Change - everything stayed the same except our new president. The same tired rhetoric from both sides of the aisle from the same tired partisan warriors in the same shrill and paranoid self grandeur one would expect from lifelong mental patients.

The Right wants Tax Cuts and the Left wants Social Spending. Anyone who seeks nuance in either stance is a "centrist" or a "traitor" or somehow an impediment to whichever side takes offense at their questions. Sounds exactly like the "You're either with us or you're with the terrorists" nonsense we got out of Baby Bush.

Sounds like the parade of neocon talking heads who said we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

I think Kellogg's owe Michael Phelps an apology. He also might have a case of wrongful dismissal if they already signed contracts and agreed to payment terms. Kellogg's has been killing Americans for decades using food packed with high-fructose corn syrup, so they can't say Phelps isn't in keeping with their corporate identity. They are part and parcel of many of our most pressing problems - from global warming to health care.

In fact, I think the entire United States of America owes Phelps an apology. And a bong hit.

Party Republican (Bull Moose 2.0)
Politics Progressive conservative. I believe we need governing policies that are based in common sense and not dogma. An evolution of society and not a revolution that seeks to tear everything down and start from scratch. We don't have enough time for that nonsense.

Favorites

Favorite Blogs TPM. Much easier to get everything in one place than visiting a million blogs every day. Who has time for that?
Favorite Books Squandering of America by Robert Kuttner and People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn immediately come to mind, but there are way too many to list.
Favorite Quotes "A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom." - Thomas Paine, Common Sense
"It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things." - Teddy Roosevelt
