“Fox News is nothing if not impressive. No matter how harsh the criticism it endures, the network somehow always manages to prove itself even worse than we had previously imagined.” ~ Eric Alterman
“The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor” ~ Helen Keller
references the case of Rachel Corrie, 23 year-old American activist who was crushed to death by an Israeli army bulldozer while peacefully protesting (standing in front of a Palestinian home to help prevent its demolition). In a ruling condemned by Amnesty International, an Israeli court has held that the government bears no responsibility for her death.
A Christmas story ..
News that Time Magazines ‘Person of the Year’ award .. the person or people who had most impact on the world in 2011 .. went to ‘the Protester’ ..
Bradley Manning .. still imprisoned without trial after 17 months .. subject of this open letter from Members of the European Parliament to the US government
The ‘War On Drugs’ has failed .. according to an influential report from the Global Commission on Drug Policy which said “the global war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world.”
This is why I love political cartoons, my goodness how spot on. And to make it even more spot on, they should have added the one selling Mexico the bullets with a bold “USA” on the shoulder. Fuck the bloody drug war, it’s not worth it.
News that the approval rating for Congress has fallen to an abysmal all-time-low of 9%. They are now lower in the publics estimation than porn, polygamy, the BP Oil-Spill or America going ‘communist’ (used in the USA as a term of abuse rather than actually meaning ‘communist’). Good job, politician doods !
Oh don’t be silly .. pizza is as much a vegetable as a corporation is a ‘person’ .. any fule kno that .. even Congress .. (story here)
