The day after Adolph Hitler became Chancellor of Germany his deputy and propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels wrote in his diary, “In conference with the Fuehrer we lay down the line for the fight against the red terror. For the moment we shall abstain from direct counter measures. The Bolshevik attempt at revolution must first burst into flame. At the proper moment we shall strike.”
The Bolshevik attempt at revolution must first burst into flame? What an ironic statement, burst into flame. (…)

The Latest Bush War
13 August 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsBy David Glenn Cox
Ah, the time grows short from May to November, but still there is time for one more Bush war. The Russian incursion into Georgia has been heavy-handed and overbearing, but not really all that surprising.
Russia is a nation on the far edge of Europe, and prior to the 20th century all political communications were sent by dispatch. Before the Czars could hear about an issue, in many cases it was already over. Ruling over a huge empire with weak and almost non-existent (…) -
All In the “McCain” Family

“Boy da way Glenn Miller played,” “Songs I’ve heard on my I-pod today” “Gee, those S&L’s were great”
“Those were the days!”
“Didn’t need no welfare state!” “Enron contributions pulled the weight.” “Gee my Exxon stock did great!”
“Those were the days!”
“And you knew who Jews were then!” “Girls was girls and Larry Craig just friends” “Mr. we could use a man like W in there again (piano trill) Me! “Everybody seemed content, no unhappy lobbyists”
“Those were (…) -
Be Careful What You Wish For

The Peoples Corporate Republic of China, the world’s largest slave labor plantation, have sought desperately to showcase to the world their Two Systems -One China policy by hosting the Olympic games.
So far the plan is working beyond their wildest expectations, but not in the way they anticipated. While many hosting countries have, in the past, feared not having Olympic venues ready in time for the visiting people, China’s problems are just the opposite. They must vet (…) -
Catch 23

Probably the most profound statement made by a US President in the last fifty years was “It all depends on what your definition of is, is.” We no longer have Presidents who make profound statements, they would be lost over the heads of the masses and so the old axiom kicks in: If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
Fox News claims the recent drop in oil prices is due to President Bush lifting the executive order banning coastal drilling. (…) -
The Seething

The Seething By David Glenn Cox
People generally are passive and understanding, but as the pressure builds the passivity evaporates and what is left behind is a crystallized seething. A feeling that says, “I’m being screwed and I’m tired of it and you hide and watch what happens to the next person that tries it.” President Bush made a You Tube appearance where he waved to onlookers as he stepped off Air Force One and they just stared back at him. (No caption necessary) Their silence spoke (…) -

Independence Day By David Glenn Cox
There is nothing new under the sun, the murder of Caesar or the shots in Dallas. Conspiracies demand either victims or adherents. You’re either with us or agin us, sound familiar? We must all hang together or certainly we shall all hang separately. Ah, but that’s the point entirely! To hang you separately! You, who toil for a living, to educate children or deliver bread, or drive a beer truck or embalm the dead, all separated (…) -
McCain’s Greatest Enemy
5 June 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
By David Glenn Cox
So, the Presidential campaign has begun in earnest, the policies, the politics, the personalities. The character assassinations, the implications, the reflexive comments and the unsaid innuendo, but for just a moment lets drop back into a huddle. We, as a species, tend to become overwrought and miss the obvious, outside of the politics, outside of party; we tend over-complicate, while dreaming of flight we forget about gravity.
We forget the inescapable, the Democrats (…) -
“ Rich people, God Bless Us!”

1 comment“ Rich people, God Bless Us!” By David Glenn Cox
Here in the polarized states of America, with a little media magic, a draft dodger can become a war hero and a war hero a charlatan. After the New York Times exposé explains the media’s complicity in what has been going on, well thanks, but no thanks. Old news, Robert Novak and Judith Miller, Op Ed’s by Richard Perle and Pat Buchanon, the story then turns to inside baseball.
Just conspirators trying to unburden their chest and clear (…) -
Chinese Junk
24 April 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
By David Glenn Cox
Strother Martin, in the classic film, "Cool Hand Luke," uttered those immortal words: “What we’ve have here is failure to communicate.” That sums up the current war of words between the Peoples Republic of China and CNN. Part of this situation is pure, heavy-handed, government propaganda, and part is American arrogance, quick to point out the sty in other’s eyes while unwilling to deal with the log in their own. A failure to communicate, based on culture, politics, (…)
