    Score Cards! Get your scorecards! Can’t tell the players without a scorecard. In Soviet Russia the one party communist state would choose two candidates to run for a party office. Then the people would be asked to vote to decide on the candidates already anointed by the power structure. It was only the illusion of democracy, a silly exercise.
    Only by offering pastries and free beer to those who had voted could the Soviets keep the facade operating.
    So when Americans (…)

    “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” - Harry S. Truman
    I’ve been waiting and waiting for her to do the right thing and end the Iraq War. I’m talking about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). She has made one lame excuse after another why she “can’t do,” what she and the other Democrats promised the American people prior to the Nov. 7, 2006 election, they “would do,” if they gained control of the U.S. Congress—end the war. “We don’t have the votes,” is one of Pelosi’s (…)

    SPIEGEL ONLINE INTERVIEW WITH MILITARY HISTORIAN GABRIEL KOLKO
    In an interview with SPIEGEL ONLINE, the Amsterdam-based military historian Gabriel Kolko talks about the prospect of war with Iran and argues that many in the US military now view the White House as being ’out of control.’
    SPIEGEL ONLINE: Mr. Kolko, editorials in US papers like the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard and (…)

    The International Criminal Court (ICC) - The End of Impunity
    Why the United States Is So Opposed
    By Paul W. Kahn, December 2003
    The opposition of the United States to the International Criminal Court appears as either a puzzle or an embarrassment to many of the nation’s traditional supporters. A puzzle, because it is not at all obvious why the United States should feel so threatened by this new court. Supporters of the Court point out that there are ample provisions in the Rome Statute (…)

    The Few, The Proud, Armies of One By David Glenn Cox
    Again and again they stand before the complicit media and say no, that is incorrect. The President makes claims and they repeat no, that is incorrect. Nancy and Harry talk a good game but all while they bob and weave denouncing the Presidents plans but funding them all the same. The media anointed presidential candidates of both parties do their best to distance themselves from the (…)

    The End Of Civilization means the Begin of a New Civilization

    I had a mild epiphany the other day: it’s not President Bush who’s living in a fantasy world, it’s most of his critics who are. I’m no apologist for Bush – I neither like nor dislike him. He’s no more significant to me than a fly buzzing around outside my window. So permit me to explain my reasoning.
    People look at Bush’s invasion of Iraq and see a miserable failure. But a (…)

    It’s a Small World After All By David Glenn Cox
    Here we are on this God forsaken mud ball orbiting a second rate sun on a Cul de Sac set off in a back water solar system, light years from the main road of the universe. Perhaps that’s why some choose to treat us as if we just fell off the proton truck from Pluto. The belief that we literally don’t know the difference between shit and shinola or the difference between impropriety and the appearance of impropriety.

    Jimmy Carter calls Cheney a "disaster" for U.S
    Wed Oct 10, 2007 6:42pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Wednesday denounced Vice President Dick Cheney as a "disaster" for the country and a "militant" who has had an excessive influence in setting foreign policy.
    Cheney has been on the wrong side of the debate on many issues, including an internal White House discussion over Syria in which the vice president is thought to be pushing a tough approach, (…)

    A popular movie catchphrase from the Blaxploitation era of the 1970s proclaimed: “The Mob wanted Harlem. They got SHAFT.”
    In today’s America there is a similar catchphrase: “The people voted for change in the last election. They got the SHAFT.”
    This reality lends credence to the late Che Guevara’s theory that democracy is simply an illusion designed to quash the impetus for meaningful social change. As long as the masses are duped into believing that the electoral process is capable (…)
