For the third time, and to pretty limited degrees, this week I pondered a question of historiographical concerns.  This was the background easily shuffled thought behind a post at an Internet message board that skipped over to a ridiculous fracas of personalities (and please, anyone who might know what I refer, don’t

Isn’t it amazing, isn’t it amazing that two or three years ago on this program when I first found Woodrow Wilson on this program and said, oh, my gosh! Look at how evil this guy is! And everybody do you remember? I mean, people still do it:  “Glenn Beck is obsessed with Woodrow Wilson.” Isn’t

Quick.  Cheerleading.  A sport or not? It depends on what your need for cheerleading.  If a school system is trying to match parity with male and female athletics and needs to use it as a crutch, yes.  If that’s at the expense of cutting a girls’ sports program in budgetary decisions, then from the point of

The Overton Window.  When “The Public Option” becomes the edge of accepted political discussion to be traded away and off of, when “Single Payer” walks into the room, it is not visible and ceases to exist, and slides to the accepted point.  This is the example of such a thing. The interesting thing

1974?  Seminal date in the history of things.  Just as, what, 1958? 1974 was when Larouche started fingering the British! Lyndon LaRouche and his associates were ALWAYS right about the British. I, and about 100 or slightly more, of our associates, have served with LaRouche in the “anti-British imperialism campaign&#

And we come closer to the vision of Igor Panarin.  I’m sure “Russia Today” will run a five minute story on Zach Wamp’s comments, and pull it alongside Igor Panarin’s map.  (Russia Today has been on the cutting edge in interviewing the “New Black Panther” leaders.  Them and Fox Ne

A few weeks ago, there was this youtube video which was making the rounds.  It was from some comedy troupe or show “The Whitest Kids You Know”, and it was a meta-commentary parody campaign ad for “Clint Webb for Senate”.  Here it is — the first 30 seconds are extrenuous. Now, skip to the 1:29

I once had the displeasure of seeing a Poetry Slam.  More than one poem made reference to Fred Phelps, who — in cayse you don’t know — is kind of merely an extreme example of homophobia and not representative of anything much.  International media have been known to reference the “Westboro Baptist

Wait.  There’s a “Tea Party Federation” that hovers over the various Tea Party groups?  I guess there would have to be a “Federation” leader, tugging it into the direction of the corporate Republican Party establishment I’d gather. Anyway, I had to give the NAACP some credit, after hear

Generally, I am one to view the soap opera nature fo the Kyron Horman sotry in the light that — the nature of the story increases the odds that the kid is alive, so on that perspective, I guess it’s a good thing that these things surround the story.  With the caveat that I don’t [...]

A news quip on Obama’s low approval rating ended with the statement that it has fallen all the way down to… 50 percent.  I think this rating is on the high end of the poll of polls, but it once again brings me back to this old joke on approval rating. No.  Seriously. Leaving aside Charles Krauthammer’s

I do not believe that this is a very good one of these things.  I posted a couple of paragraphs from each of my previous bunch of blog posts, and came up with a different author each time.  I suppose “blogging” is not writing, or it is a type of writing which will bias everyone [...]

Hardly surprising, the “American Independence Party” is, in the state of California, the third largest political party in terms of voters’ membership.  It has more voters on the registrar than the Libertarian Party or the Green Party — and note there that the Green Party was early on irking the Demo

I am pretty indifferent to the NAACP and its decision to pass a resolution condemning Racist Elements in the Tea-Party.  It does not strike me as a particularly interesting story, noteworthy in any direction — it is fodder that eludes any worthwhile discussion from any direction.  Indeed, I wouldn’t think of

Surely, this is a more appropriate image for the North Korean World Cup team?  But that looks a little too normal — a just celebration for an accomplishment in their Athletic Endevor, never mind the backstory for the nation they’re representing.

Is that right?  55 percent of the likely voters in 2010 have no idea what it is Socialism?  Or, correction– and  more to the point, 55 percent of “likely voters” think Obama is a socialist. Even Ron Paul doesn’t fall for that line.  Then again, Ron Paul is… Ron Paul, and not every other

Okay.  In case you are curious to know what I think about Lebron James.
