No enemies to the left, no friends to the right

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Everyone, including most on the right, wants to kiss up and brown nose leftwards, while condemning and denigrating rightwards, for the left has the power, delivers the gravy, and punishes its enemies. (more…)

Zombie reports the day of rage

Monday, September 19th, 2011

Zombie reports the day of rage.  All the pictures showing them marching down the street, symbolically confronting capitalist institutions, and so forth, show a group of less than twenty, but there is also a photograph of hundreds of people gathered in a park listening to a speech, which gathering looked genuine enough, not much indication of astroturfing.

“hundreds of protestors”

Monday, September 19th, 2011

ABC news tell us that “hundreds of protestors” showed up to occupy Wall Street, yet their photo shows only nineteen, count them, nineteen protestors, twenty one if we suppose the two well dressed men mingling with police are also protestors, twenty two if we suppose the guy in the distance is also a protestor.

Sarah Palin’s speech

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

Sarah Palin has issued a typically brilliant and insightful speech, while still teasing on the issue of whether she is going to run. I think at this stage, getting a bit late to run, better carry on in her lucrative career as a public intellectual, saying the things officially accredited public intellectuals cannot say. (more…)
