God how I do love Nanci! She's so on point.

Love it. Sometimes you need to haul out the big guns and no matter how nasty the word use it. There is no other word to describe this guy.

Teens React to Rick Perry's Strong

This is almost like beating a dead horse at this point given Rick Perry's irrelevance to the GOP race, but this video posted a few days ago is priceless:




But the traditional conservative base is dying off and it isn't coming back. These kids are all right.

OCCUPY Your City

Brave New Films has produced a great video. Pass it on:



The growth of this movement is generating mounting concern within American ruling circles. This was expressed Tuesday in an article by New York Times financial columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin, who quoted a Wall Street CEO worried about his “personal safety” and warned that the protest constituted “a warning shot about the kind of civil unrest that may emerge—as we’ve seen in some European countries—if our economy continues to struggle.”

It is not the bankers who have to fear for their personal safety, but the demonstrators, who have been subjected repeatedly to police brutality and mass arrests for exercising their free speech rights.

Nonetheless, Sorkin’s warning about civil unrest is entirely justified. These are among the first prominent social protests in the United States in more than 30 years. Most of those involved in the occupations have never seen significant struggles for social change in their lifetimes. Coming on the heels of the mass demonstrations in Wisconsin last February, they signal the reemergence of open class struggle in the United States, the center of world capitalism.

Jimmy Kimmel unveils 'Michele Bachmann's story of America'

ABC's Jimmy Kimmel announced Tuesday a new educational film by Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann.

The Minnesota Republican has recently mistaken John Wayne for John Wayne Gacy and insisted John Quincy Adams was a Founding Father.

"I like when politicians who screw up go find like a single sentence in the back of a high school history book and then use that as their defense, as if that's what they meant the whole time," Kimmel said. "And that's what she's doing. And not only is Michele Bachmann sticking to this Founding Father thing, she's working on -- I don't know if it's a documentary or some sort of educational film, but it's something to teach kids about American history."

"In 1775, Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams set sail across the Delaware River to tell the King of England they had enough of his liberal agenda," an actor posing as Bachmann explained in the film. "King James called Napoleon and together they decided to kill America."

"They sent the Nina, the Piñata and the Santa Maria to fight. But then, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln gathered an army to turn back the big government dictators. They told Paul Revere to ride his horse to Frodo. But then, John Wilkes Booth showed up and killed Lincoln. But there was still hope, because Jesus appeared on the face of the Liberty Bell and he froze John Wilkes Booth in carbonite. And the liberal homosexuals sailed back to their gay country, while Americans claimed their land and drank beer. And that's how freedom was born."

Undeclared GOP candidates debate

You can't tell the comedians from the real politicians anymore.

And that's NOT a joke!




"Michele Bachmann, when MSNBC wants to scare liberals . . .into caring about elections, they have you on as a guest."

The Word - Mutally Assured Coercion

Can we put out a 'cease and desist' order on calling the site of the WTC 'sacred ground'? We don't have sacred ground in this country. That's one of the founding principles of the nation. Separation of chuch and state, and all that.

The World Trade Center was mostly a building dedicated to commerce, filled with a lot of Wall St. firms, among others. There was an Islamic prayer center there, and probably similar things for other faiths, but it's still not sacred ground. It's the site of a terrible tragedy, and not to diminish the lives that were lost, that makes it historic, not sacred.

Black said it best - "This is a guy [Beck] who uses more swastika props and video of the Nuremberg rallies than the History Channel."

And didn't Glenn have himself depicted as an SS soldier on the cover his latest rag of a book? Surprised he didn't host a mass-burning of them as a publicity stunt.

And yes, Beck, the AZ law is what the Nazis started out with, you buffoon. And I thought Beck was a history buff, sheesh...

Catchy as hell! No 'Youth in Asia' LOL. Love the line about us being a Christian nation. Funny how the most God fearing/family values/protect marriage from the queers while I cheat on my wife/Conservative Christians are the main ones spreading lies, intimidation, carrying guns to town halls, and basically saying "I got mine so why should I care about anyone else". Not very Christian in my book.

Utah Phillips - There is Power In The Union

Happy Labor Day,



Joe Hill's famous song.

Sorry about that whole 40 hour work week thing. Oh, and I must apologize for minimum wage and keeping children out of the mines. I know you must hate getting a fair pay for a fair days work, but most of us go to bed every night thanking those who fought and sometimes died for the world's working people. Union men and women.

Why We Need Government-Run Universal Socialized Health Insurance

Every time I read about a Teabagger ranting about how socialized medicine will destroy this country I think of the VA system. There it is, a huge and vastly important universal healthcare system—government run, single payer and therefore socialist—right here in the brave and privatized United States: The Veterans Affairs hospitals. If you've served in the military, you can go to the VA. If it's within five years of your last active duty service, or you have injuries related to your service, you can go and get healthcare pretty much for free.

Objectively, our present system is a complete and abject failure. Compared to every other industrialized nation, we spend more and get less from our healthcare system. Even for those who claim that the US is exceptional, the VA provides an example of another (and better) way to do things.

Let's recap: the United States spends about twice as much on healthcare as any other developed nation in the world and in return receives just about the worst care. Can someone remind me again why there's even a debate about whether we should put up with this?

The right-wing fury at town hall meetings over health care and the Republican obstruction of any serious reform in Washington are not just symptoms of a complex debate on an issue packed with powerful special interests; it is a test of whether reality matters in the United States.

The overriding question has become whether the United States – as a representative democracy – is on the verge of losing its sanity.

I wish Lawrence O'Donnell had asked this willfully ignorant moron if she favored repeal of her own right to vote too. After all, the Founding Fathers thought she should have no voice in the political system.

Awesome Wedding Dance Video

If there's one thing we need to end the week, it's a feel-good wedding stunt! And this viral church-aisle dance party should do the trick.



Even the normally hateful YouTube viewership was all over this, and a naysayer was shot down with, "Don't hate just because you can't get someone to look at you let alone marry you." Aww! The happy couple's already appeared on the Today show to contribute a little human interest, which isn't that unusual. But bringing the whole wedding party back tomorrow to do their "routine?" I'm guessing it won't capture the magic.

Bruce, Pete Seeger and Seeger's grandson sang one of the classics at the Lincoln Memorial today. Everyone sang along, including Obama:



Pete Seeger has been a courageous, tireless fighter for civil rights and peace all of his life. He was at Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech in that place.

Just look at his 89 year old SMILE. It tells the tale.
