Yes, you read the title correctly. This seems to be the case:    1020? Um, that's 989 years ago, and 990 next year. But for a party that lives in the past, maybe it wasn't a typo.

Sheppard Smith is the only person on Fixed Propaganda worth a damn. He has shown that since the tragedy of Katrina, and this year, he was fierce on his position that the United States doesn't torture no matter the circumstances. That was in contrast to almost everyone else on his network calling it "harsh interrogations" and justifying those "harsh interrogations" rhetoric and actions. Yesterday, as Josh , Ben and crew gave to us, Smith had another moment of honesty that you don't see from anyone else at that network during another tragic moment. As the information on James von Bunn came to light, Smith talked about how everyone demonized the now prescient DHS report from April on right-wing extremism and admitted that they were warned:

This on his Yahoo page on Obama:

His views on Christianity and Judaism 

More later on this at here, TWD, and everywhere else. 

The English Revolution of 1688 was a coup.

The Russian Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 was a coup.

The 18 Brumaire was a coup.

The Xinhai Revolution of 1911 was a coup.

The Orange Revolution a few years back in the Ukraine was a coup.

The Egyptain Revolution (not 1919, but 1952), the Iranian Revolution (before Ahmadinejad possibly gets voted out this Friday, peacefully), and the Cuban Revolution were all coups.

So with all that said, I am little disturbed that what happened in the only place more dysfunctional than Washington D.C., Albany, was called, well......you already know that "C" word.

I was born in New York. I've lived my first 18 years of my life in New York. And even with spending my last four years in college up in Boston, New York never left. I'm Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn until the day I die. And every day as I grow in political knowledge, my disgust for what transpires in my state's capital continues to proportionally augment.

But even with how ridiculous Albany has been, and still sadly is right now, the uncontrolled restrain of calling this a "coup" speaks to how irresponsible, reckless, and dumb our media has become.

Now I know that in most Webster's or Oxford's, the second entry for "coup" is a "successful move or action", and that's what prompted our local media in New York to even a few in TRONN (The Rational Online News Network) have labeled it a "coup" with no hesitation. But even if you use that definition of the word, it is only successful if this actually becomes a legal move. And by all means at the moment, Majority Leader Smith and the rest of the Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to show that it isn't.

Still, even if the corruption is certified, it will still be both peculiar and asinine to here proclaimed as a "coup." Coups aren't associated with just Spiffy, glorious headlines where a bunch of politicians live to see another day. On the contrary, American democracy and "coup" go about as well as Rachel Maddow on Fox, U2's Bono joining G-Unit, and, though it's bound to happen, Brett Favre on the Vikings.

I guess the word "coup" has suddenly taken a non-violent, just verbally explosive transformation over the last two days I guess.

And how it has stuck amazes me. But when I see Starbucks align itself with Morning Joke in happy fashion, it shouldn't amaze me, at all.

I wrote this over at my site, The Whole Delivery

I'm waiting on the next idiot to say that Sonia Sotomayor broke her ankle on purpose to make sure that she gets passed in the Senate.

And I had to expand. Prepare for some idiot to say this, some nut case out there, most likely to come from a right wing, conservative loony tune that will be named a "Straight Jacket of The Day" winner or a person highlighted in Ed Schultz's "Psycho Talk."
