    Close to the Edge, A Country Without Pity Or the New Ballad of Hollis Brown By David Glenn Cox
    “Hollis Brown he lived on the outside of town Hollis Brown he lived on the outside of town With his wife and five children in a cabin broken down
    You looked for work and money and you walked a ragged mile You looked for work and money and you walked a ragged mile Your children are so hungry that they don’t know how to smile
    Your baby’s eyes look crazy they’re a-tuggin at your sleeve Your (…)

  • SO YOU REALLY THOUGHT THINGS WOULD CHANGE?
    2 June 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
    3 comments

    I have some good news and some bad news.
    First, the good news: After a thorough and diligent investigation, I have solved twenty-five unsolved murders. I know who the murderers are, I know how they committed their crimes, and I have more than enough evidence to convict them.
    Now for the bad news: I am not going to release any of this evidence or demand that any of these murderers be prosecuted.
    While this may seem anathema to the fundamental concept of justice, I have five reasons (…)

    More of the Same Game By David Glenn Cox
    The Republicans rant and froth at the mouth over Obama’s choice of Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court Justice, taking quotes out of context and using her membership in Hispanic organizations as they try to paint her into a corner as a racist. The left is giddy with diversity as a Latina and woman was Obama’s choice, and of course women and minorities should be better represented on the Supreme Court.
    Jackie Robinson was chosen to be the first (…)

  • Where Do We Go When All Hope is Gone?

    Where Do We Go When All Hope is Gone? By David Glenn Cox
    Where do we go when all hope is gone? Where are the answers to be found when our leaders refuse to seek them? I do not see in Washington either hope nor change. I do not see the answers; I don’t even see any questioning for the answers. The Democrats in Congress whined for two years about all that they would do if only they were in the majority. So, now there they are, and what do we get?
    We get lame excuses, futile half measures, (…)

  • To Follow the Worms
    23 May 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    The easiest way to spot a liar is that liars always over-embellish their case. They can’t just leave it at, “It was that way when I got here.” No, they will continue to color the edges with frills. “I just walked in the room to get a cup of coffee and when I turned around I found it broken on the floor.”
    The former Vice President has taken up the mantle for his former boss, a man who is now too busy collecting cash to worry about the legacy of his regime. The former (…)

  • The Obama-Cheney “debate” and the threat of dictatorship in America
    22 May 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    Please read this article at http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/may2009/pers-m22.shtml and draw the obvious conclusion: Now is the time for a full-frontal attack against Cheney and what Peter Scott calls the Deep State. Now is the perfect time because Obama, however "discreetly" (not wanting to get shot, after all), is fighting back, and we must not only support him but push him to fight harder. See my article "Was the Air Force One Flyover a Warning to Obama?" — the answer to which I am now (…)

  • Prepare for War, the Death of capitalism and Bankruptcy of the US Government said Marc Faber

    Prepare for War, the Death of capitalism and Bankruptcy of the US Government said Marc Faber
    Marc Faber forecasts Economic Armageddon , the author of "The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report" foresees a litany of unpleasant events ahead , living up to his reputation for bearishness .
    His key message is: buy real assets. He thinks it will take years for the global economy to recover, but when it does the effect of governments’ printing money will ultimately reignite inflation.

  • Was the Air Force One Flyover a Warning to Obama?
    18 May 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    The only thing I have read about this strange event that asked the right question was on wsws.org, one of my favorite sites. Alex Lantier wrote on April 29:
    How could one of two specially-designed presidential jets be requisitioned for a flight over New York City, where nearly 3,000 were killed in the 9/11 attacks, without the knowledge of the president, the mayor or high-ranking US military officials such as the defense secretary and the joint chiefs of staff? If the official story is (…)
