See, I’ve heard that from skeptics who don’t believe that I have such difficulty walking. Usually Right Wingers who believe that anybody who collects disability is some kind of Bum and Cheat. The answers are sort of simple, if you have a mind to learn a few things. The first [...]
Rep. Patrick Kennedy was banned from communion for supporting Health Care.
Bishop Tobin of the Diocese of Providence, RI. did the dishonors. It offends me as a Christian and as a human being that the Church would commit Hate Crimes or endorse Hate Crimes like denying people health care on the [...]
If this year’s “Black Friday” fails to pull retailers out of their red ink, should the dubious protologism retire its presumption to speak for consumer confidence? I think it should. Wasn’t it really just an economist’s “for the Gipper” meme –putting [...]
It’s not about Immigration, legal or undocumented, it’s racism. If they tell you different, they LIE! So a racist kid at the high school up there was harassing minority kids. Guess she figured that she was “heavy” with the Racist Teller Co. Constabulary. Subsequent events showed her right. Four days [...]
In a bid to keep the War Fever running hot, thus putting more Public Money into the hands of her Warmonger Corporate Masters. She already sold her own son into the war, and used his so-called “service” as just another political tool. She’ll rejoice if he gets his stupid head [...]
UC students are occupying campus buildings, in scenes gloriously reminiscent of the 60s. Debbie Downers have foretold that an antiwar movement would not catch the interest of youth until there was a military draft to affect them. They are right. We’ve seen marches and rallies for peace, but it took [...]
I’ll admit to a disquieting feeling of topsy-turvy. Until now I would have advised war resisters to take the brig and let Bush’s Democratic successor grant them amnesty. But now a trial for the accused 9/11 conspirators approaches, worrying some that the additional protections of a civilian court might result [...]
On the same day as the Ft Hood shooting (where the SUSPECT is a Muslim soldier) there was a “disgruntled employee” shooting at an office building in Florida and the next day a similar shoot-em-up at a clinical lab involving the first victims ex-boyfriend. We also started getting plenty of [...]
A certain former candidate for Vice President who happens to be biologically female had a book signing in a suburb of Detroit. You know Detroit, the city the Klan types refer to as “extended ghetto” and “black hole” and other stupid names.
Allegedly 2900 ALL WHITE people showed up for her [...]
But it’s treated as a Legitimate Headline. “Republican Senators Oppose Health Care”. Gosh, ya reckon? After spending the past 5 months wiring up their Disciples to chant stupid shit at Tea Parties and Rigged “Town Halls”?
Gosh, I was surprised, nay, SHOCKED that there was Republican opposition to anything that could [...]
Yes, it’s a live fish. The Youtube video upsetting PETA depicts Chinese diners poking at the still gasping mouth of what’s for dinner. The plate isn’t hot, but watch your fingers! The meat is blackened to a crisp, while from the neck up [...]
In which case, the money you make off your War Investments will more than offset the income tax you pay, AND, it’s common knowledge that Rich People don’t have to send their own piglets off to Murder other people’s kids in the Wars of Conquest, which, surprise, benefit only the [...]
All that pink was not only for cancer awareness, advocates insisted, it was for breast cancer research. But when research finally yielded a result, which was to recommend fewer mammograms, the whole pink bandwagon wailed in defense of its major sponsor! [...]
I like this last picture of Shaniya Davis, taken it appears, on the ordinary occasion of a new cellphone camera. The five-year-old’s body was just recovered by North Carolina police. Her mother Antoinette Davis, 25, has been arrested on charges of selling her daughter [...]
for the Talk Radio Hate Speech about a “war on Christmas.” I don’t actually think they’re stupid, mind you, they know full well that they’re lying… and omitting a HUGE amount of data.
So, to fact check them ONCE MORE…
The Founding Fathers never instituted either Christmas or Thanksgiving as national [...]
Ward Churchill spoke in Tucson on Friday and Brenda Norrell has posted the footage. Watching the ex-CU professor speak, I can’t help but think about the university students’ loss. They’re missing the lamentably rarefied perspectives he offers of course, but more important,' [...]
Here’s an interesting exception among the photos accompanying a recent NYT article about the mass of plastic detritus, twice the size of Texas, floating in the Pacific Ocean. This barely buoyant plastic barrel, demonstrates why plastic does not qualify as [...]
Because he was having a Baaaaaaaad day. That’s the “Humorous” anecdote related to me by two Air Force sergeants who were laughing it up over the Air Force murdering at least one Kurdish civilian in 2000. Ha ha, really damn funny. This goes along with the claims made by the [...]
Since Safeway and Kroger have had at their count 3700 workers standing ready to take the jobs of the union workers, (the Union workers who actually BUILT the company) that means they haven’t been working or finding work anywhere else. That means, ergo, they’ve been collecting Food Stamps and AFDC [...]
Sometimes a mortal feels in himself Nature

kindredship with us, and some globule

Whatsa matter Mayor Giuliani? Are you afraid if the 9/11 suspects come to trial in NYC, that these 9/11 TRUTH fellows might turn up? It was your Ground Zero hero’s launchpad, this time it may be theirs.

.. “information” on their affiliated website Colorado Connections. Fox News who have fought (other people’s) tooth and (other people’s) nail against not just Health Care Reform, but Health Care In The First Damned Place.
Hubris of such a high order it deserves a suffix and a prefix “MegaHubrisosity”.
[...]The Very Rich have always found some way to make the Poor eat their own chances of upgrading their lives through infighting, Black v White was and still is typical of the division they exploit. Sans-culottes = without underwear. An earlier configuration of the Duopoly had it as “pressing the [...]
She’s got a book tour, so what? But Oprah is willing to suffer her for two couch sessions, now Hillary Clinton wants to grant her a beer summit. Foreign leaders can’t get an audience without preconditions. Why is Sarah Palin accorded such [...]
The Palestinian Authority has declared the people of Palestine want statehood on what’s left of their land. Mahmoud Abbas plans to seek the support of the UN. Why is the media calling this decision unilateral? I need a bath –the media needn’t report if the verdict was or wasn’t [...]
Do you recognize the cat at right? It might be a child’s zoo animal rubber stamp if it didn’t look so angry. This is a stencil that dates to the Wobblies, when working men were angry. When labor organizers had to fend off union [...]
I know, right? Why won’t her boyfriend take his new Playstation online, where obviously all the fun is? “What’s wrong with him?!” The Sony PS3 spokesman commiserates, but he’s an interested party. So what’s up? Well, we have a clue this week [...]
As in, not something like “leave or we’ll fire you”. Of course he also said Mexicans shot up his house which lowers any credibility he might have built up over the years. One bullet means only one person, thus plural= NO. Nobody heard a shot, nobody saw any shooting, credibility [...]
NYC 9/11 trial upsetting to Republicans, why? If the guys are guilty or even if they’re not they’ll be convicted. Do they really believe that a New York jury would be “liberal” in any way? Or the NYPD or the courts?
The ones who unanimously voted to look the other [...]
Bill and Genie Durland, Colorado Springs’ most vocal champions for Palestine, will be among a tidal wave of peace activists converging on Palestine on the first anniversary of Israel’s unrestrained attack of Gaza. With a Mile Long March [...]
Will cause an outcry from those who want to make the Moon into a missile base. Water can be made into fuel and breathable oxygen by splitting the molecule apart using a charge of direct current. Such as can be harvested from Solar Panels. On the moon there’s no such [...]
Woman and man? The X and Y for creating life? Actually, symbols for copper and iron, designated by the alchemists; curiously, X/Y to the Bronze Age overtaken by Iron, the supremacy of technology.
Our sixth-graders are learning that alchemy was a science that is [...]
There’s a news story going on right now about a nationwide Free Clinic, the person featured is a man who is employed, but uninsured (in Houston) and his wife is employed as well, gets (increasingly rare, especially in Texas) health insurance from her work. The Husband hadn’t been to a [...]
Oh, if only McCain hadn’t tried to put lipstick on her pig! If they hadn’t tried to teach her the actual duties of the job she was trying to get, and had just let her go on and on and on and on with her racist, homophobic, xenophobic, and just [...]
COLORADO SPRINGS- I confess to being reminded regularly of a clip from Michael Moore’s movie Capitalism a Love Story. It’s the mock tourism video ad selling ">Cleveland: We’re not Detroit. The punch line accompanying this shot is “we think this is art.” Of" [...]
since he’s deployed every other dirty trick in the service of his Corporate Masters… he’s now gone to the lengths of having people handing out pamphlets outside the courthouse, as they were reporting for jury duty for his trial on refusing to leave private property when the owners and tenants [...]
Although the Tea Party has been using the one on the left a lot.
The arguments against health care have taken on the same reason the Supreme Court declined to abolish slavery in America…Â that it would deprive the Slave owners of Property and that it [...]
This started as a comment on a comment, on Eric’s post about HR-3962.
You forgot, C Ella, to mention subsidies to Big Pharma like penis pumps (which used to be called “sex toys”) Cialis and Viagra (which can be gotten on Medicare and Medicaid, but Not CONDOMS because they’re birth [...]
They want war crimes trials, then book ‘em. Senators John Cornyn, Lamar Smith, Joe Lieberman, Jim Webb and John McCain have mouthed off against bringing accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to trial in US civilian courts. They want Mohammed and his fellow detainees tried by military tribunals, which [...]
While a number of Democrats implicated themselves by joining all but one Republican to vote against the Affordable Health Care for America Act, let’s make a distinction for Representative Dennis Kucinich who had reasons the other congressmen are not prepared to articulate. For example, Colorado [...]
COLORADO COLLEGE- The news from the ISRAEL TODAY lecture is all good. If you’d been there, you might wonder how my takeaway from such a bilious gathering could be upbeat. I’ll tell you. The Palestinian voice was well represented, Israel’s presentation [...]
Springs’ own Guy Fawkes, aka union activist Ed Billings, has a website finally, named not unpredictably, Colorado Springs Sucks. His first salvo is aimed at Mayor Rivera and our city’s cutback of transportation services. Excerpt:
Mayor Jackass …er… I mean Mayor Lionel Rivera … wants Colorado Springs to be the [...]
Bring it on, Tea Party. Bring it on, Senator Schultheiss.
You’re going to meet a LOT of resistance. And all you have on your side are Punks who are stupid enough to fall for your line of crap.

It seems the British are having the same type of problem with their version of a Corporate Pentagon, the Ministry of Deceptive Practices Defense. Their bonus program for the Daddy Warbucks contractor Screw-Ups is figuratively “drawing fire” from families of the soldiers and even from “conservative” members of Parliament.
