  • Posted by Nacho
  • January 1, 1970

If you were ever waiting for an example of "Truthtiness" in action, look no further than today's Washington Post. As you will recall, truthiness, a satirical neologism invented by Stephen Colbert back in 2005 (of The Colbert Report fame. I hope you know this and have not been living under a rock), r ...>

Counterattack on Sex. Ed.

  • January 1, 1970

Finally, somebody doing the kind of ad necessary to challenge McCain's deceptive ad on same sex. ed. Notice the framing does not repeat McCain's attack. What it does is challenge McCain on a believable claim "Isn't he just another politician saying whatever to get elected..." making the point that ...>

Ouch is right, this article in The New York Times finally has somebody in the media (besides the ladies of The View, who are, of course, not truly media) looking hard at Gov. Palins' record. Eye-opening. Check it out. ...>

CNBC only aired the last paragraph. Here's more of the statement, and don't forget to compare it to McCain's comments in the previous post (and yes, I'm looking for a fuller statement from McCain and Palin although McCain himself has said he doesn't know much about the economy, and Palin... well...) ...>

  • January 1, 1970

Here's a video clip from CNN: It sounds quite like a "campaigning" statement. Given that his good advisor Phil Gramm (and others in this Party) had so much to do with creating the environment that led to this economic situation, can we, to use the language of McCain's own advisor Tucker Bounds, ...>

  • January 1, 1970

Glenn Greenwald has a wonderful post describing the hypocrisy and law-breaking of Gov. Palin, her husband, and the McCain campaign that has encouraged that Palin and her aides refuse to comply with the Alaskan legislature's special commission on Trooper-gate. This is something that is just tough to ...>

  • January 1, 1970

I'm glad someone finally decided to lay out in a comprehensive way what Republicans have been doing for some time now against the American electorate. The Democratic National Committee, and Obama for America have filed suit to stop Republicans in Michigan from disenfranchising American citizens who ...>

  • January 1, 1970

A quote from the Bailout plan pushed by Sec. Paulson and the Administration (and no, that's not a band name):Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agenc ...>

Counting on Greed

  • January 1, 1970

It strikes me that the crisis we are seeing unfolding before our eyes, not just on Wall Street by the way, but everywhere this financial crisis reaches, signals something that ought to be clear to Republicans and Democrats, and any other political ideologue: we can't count on greed to get to compass ...>
