Ignoring the Media vetting a candidate is not the same as them ignoring vetting a candidate

Today, the website BuzzFeed published a clip of the speech along with an article explaining some past and current context for Obama’s remarks.

Guess whats next on the chopping block before tax cuts for the super-wealthy…

….this is going to be a long series, I would guess.  Once you put yourself on an unsustainable path (and without new revenue, we’re on one), it’s just a matter of time until everything gets the ax.  First up…those guys that fought in that war we cut taxes on the wealthy to pay for (and [...]

Stock Market Crush

Well, it wasn’t a crash like I predicted, but it does look pretty much like a crush.   This is a chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average from July 21st-27th. Something to note about the graph…note the huge drops due to “overnight” trading (those are the big gaps where the DJIA opens well lower than [...]

And it does.  Other flash [...]

Roger Ailes Exposed as the Whiny Baby He Is (oh, and the Nazi Examples)

I mentioned in this post that after the tragedy in Tucson, certain folks put it on themselves to be the real victims.   A number of people backed up those claims, and all of these victims work for the same guy, Roger Ailes. This always-the-victim-and-therefore-above-reproach approach that Fox News takes comes directly from the guy who [...]
