Recent Republican debates are the perfect example of the love fest that the current Republican party has for Reagan as each candidate name drops the former president at every turn. If you only listened to conservatives you would think that Jesus Christ was the only person above Reagan on the totem pole of conservative love. They ...

As Huffington Post notes today, the indefinite detention bill passed by the Senate last week hands the terrorists a big win: A measure that Congress will likely pass this week allowing indefinite detentions of Americans by the U.S. military will mark a significant loss in the war on terrorism, says a retired admiral who ran the Navy legal system. ...

Do you believe that members of Congress and their staffs are working really hard to fix all of the problems that America is facing? Well, after reading this article you might have a much different perspective. The truth is that most Americans have absolutely no idea what goes on in Washington. As our national debt soars, our economy crumbles and our relationships with other nations fall apart, members of the U.S. Congress and their staffs are barely working. Instead, our representatives and their aides spend most of the time enjoying the high life. There is a culture of corruption and decadence that is so pervasive in Washington that it would literally take a miracle to eliminate it. Trust ...

The growing menace of domestic drones By Glenn Greenwald Last week, I wrote about the rapidly growing domestic drone industry and the largely undiscussed dangers it poses. The Los Angeles Times yesterday reported that local police in North Dakota used a Predator B drone — the most common unmanned aircraft employed by the U.S. military to attack and kill “insurgents” in the Muslim world — to apprehend three men. The suspects had refused to turn over six cows which had wandered onto their land (the laws governing open-range ownership are in dispute and the farm owners claimed they are entitled to keep the cows); after being tasered in an earlier incident on their land for ...

long ago, I thought that calling the United States of America "Public Enemy Number One" would be an unacceptable way to being an opinion article. Today, that is a fact after it becomes apparent that the USA has been directly involved in the opposition protests inside Russia after United Russia won a free and fair democratic process. Let us see. Here are some soundbites spread across western media outlets: "It is scandalous and vulgar". "We have done our own calculations, and....I won". "We are really disappointed, we voted for the other candidate but this one won". Interesting. In fact these comments do not come from Russia, but from Africa, more ...

Top US corporations spent more on lobbying than they paid in taxes By Chris in Paris on 12/08/2011 04:08:00 PM | Reddit | Facebook | Digg | FARK Let's not forget about all of the floundering banks during the peak of the crisis that somehow managed to spend taxpayer money that was meant to keep them alive, on lobbying against reform. Corporate America does this because they know that they can easily buy Washington so the laws can be written for their benefit. The days of the 1% dominating the system has to change if we want to get the middle class back on a growth track. It may not be what the corporate world wants, but it has to happen.

Working Americans taking less of income pie By Chris in Paris on 12/10/2011 11:30:00 PM | Reddit | Facebook | Digg | FARK Some not so great statistics on income for working people. CNBC: The decline is not a new trend, but it shows up again in last week's release of third-quarter productivity and costs. The labor share — the amount paid to workers instead of businesses and other income-earning entities — was reported to have fallen to 57.1 cents on the dollar for the business sector, its lowest level since it was first reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 1947. J.P. Morgan economist Michael Feroli highlighted the decline in a recent note. He said the pre-2000 ...

Hillary Clinton and Internet Freedom By Glenn Greenwald Screen shot 2011-12-09 at 8.46.00 AM (Credit: AP) Hypocrisy from the U.S. Government — having U.S. officials self-righteously impose standards on other countries which they routinely violate — is so common and continuous that the vast majority of examples do not even merit notice. But sometimes, it is so egregious and shameless — and sufficiently consequential — that it should not go unobserved. Such is the case with the speech delivered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton yesterday at a Conference on Internet Freedom held at the Hague, a conference devoted to making “a stand for freedom of expression on ...

My check engine light can on and my 1999 Ford Winstar van did not want to start. It finally did, so I took it to the local mechanic whom I had never been to before. It was the Mass Air Sensor. $200 for the part, he told me, $70 labor. I checked at Autozone and got the part for $129. It was located in the air filter. Took me about 45 minutes to change it. Weasels!
