  • Stuck on Stupid

    By David Glenn Cox
    Hello, everyone. My name is Dave and I’m a news junkie.
    "Hi, Dave," the room answers.
    I come from a family of addicts. Even as a child my parents gave me books and magazines, and even a dictionary. So at this stage in my life I feel I’m too far gone for help. It started innocently enough, sports trivia, but before I knew it I was hooked on facts. I read encyclopedias in the dark under my blanket with a flashlight, and when I found a name that I’d never heard of I (…)

    The US under Emperor Obama is still conducting a War on Terror that in horrible reality is a War on Arab, Muslim, Asian, and non-European Women and Children who represent a substantial proportion of the 9-11 million excess deaths in the Bush (now Obama) wars, 1990-2009 (see: "9-11 excuse for US global genocide.
