There's too much focus on "whistle blowing" these days turning the whole thing into a dizzying drama of silliness. Which makes it all (conveniently) very distracting. Since it's common knowledge that spying has been part of our everyday lives since 2001, that is, since American'ts stood stupefied in ignorant-bliss to the ramifications of the Patriot Act, … Continue reading Braver Soul

Motown Blues
Joke: What does Greece have in common with Detroit? (Short pause. Think.) Well, that's about all the joke I can remember. But then again, if you think about it, there really is something to laugh at when it comes to comparing Greece with Detroit. And be assured, these two should be compared. First, they're both … Continue reading Motown Blues
Save Fourth Estate
Ok, dear worst-reader, scandals can also be boring. I also mentioned that there is a "barrage" of scandals looming around Obama's presidency right now. But I only talked about one of those scandals. This morning I realised that perhaps my use of the word "barrage" doesn't quite fit. As worst-writer, I often rush to judge and … Continue reading Save Fourth Estate
Infantilism vs Economic Conscription
Will never forget the visit I made to a US military recruiting centre. Johnny Gun-Ho was my recruiting officer. He was a Marine that had no problem explaining to me the inferiorities of the Army and the Air Force. He even took the time to explain the inferiorities of the Navy, which belong to the … Continue reading Infantilism vs Economic Conscription
Barrel of Fun
Disclaimer: Thoughts on Mitt Romney. You've been warned. Go ahead. Look at the barrel. Well. Go ahead. It's a barrel. Right? And get this. The barrel is empty. The barrel is rotten. But it wasn’t always so. Look at it again. There was a time when the barrel was full of beautiful, luscious, sweet and tart … Continue reading Barrel of Fun
Biggest Brother Ever
http://youtu.be/wxu7VZRAYOY Let's begin from the begin(ning), shall we? It started with Big Brother. Then there was Bigger Brother. And now… Excuse me, phone is ringing. Did all of this spying on citizens (video below) start with a novel? You know the old saying: life emulates art. (Or is it the other way 'round? Nomatter.) There are … Continue reading Biggest Brother Ever
Blue Dog Go Home
Major primary losses for conservatives in PA. Oh thank goodness. But wait. These conservatives are Dems. Oh my. Nomatter. Down with conservatives. Is there good news for anti-conservatives in the future? Not sure. It's been a long time coming but perhaps, even in the state of PA, the wake up call post tea-partier fiasco of 2010 has … Continue reading Blue Dog Go Home
Post Clinton Chaos
Would you believe? Could you believe? That there are those who ponder miracles of morrow? I would like to call them my trinity conspirators but I think not of insult nor do I ponder disrespect. Yet there is stuff in-between the ether of all that jitters my spinal fluid. For example, NESARA. National Economic Security … Continue reading Post Clinton Chaos
