Columbo: Somebody killed the Gulf of Mexico, Sir. Your fingerprints are all over the place.
Barack Obama: Sorry Lieutenant. Did you ask Bobby Jindal, Mary Landrieu. or Ken Salazar?
I don’t know whether this White House is getting desperate or just trying to see how far they can go with the whole political ineptitude thing. In either case, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’ idiotic comments this week about presidential criticism from “the professional left” are obscene. The Obama team evidently hasn’t noticed it yet, but [...]
Thanks to relentless propaganda, and the spinelessness of liberals, the Right has essentially emerged victorious in its attempt to highjack the Republic. In practice it’s been a slow-motion coup d’etat. BY DAVID M. GREEN | Let’s be honest: We live in stunningly, jaw-droppingly, ridiculously absurd political times. Here’s the story in a nutshell: A far-right [...]
David M. Green I REALLY DIDN’T WANT to write another rant this week on the now yawn-inducing fact of Barack Obama’s irrelevance and presidential impotence (when, that is, it isn’t something far worse), but watching his first Oval Office address to the country the other night, I’m just amazed at the deterioration of this presidency [...]
The only thing more grim than the visage of the pathetic Obama administration in non-action is a consideration of the opportunity lost here. Obama had all the cards stacked in his favor, ranging from a destroyed opposition party, to a series of crises, to a public demanding change, to massive majorities in Congress, to global [...]
David Michael Green There are several key explanations for the rise of the insane right over the last three decades, but surely one of them has been the compliance of the mainstream media. Politicians have been able to make the most absurdly ridiculous and hypocritical statements without fear of being called on them. MAYBE we [...]
If Barack Obama isn’t the epitome of this mentality, then Elena Kagan surely is. Nobody can figure out what she stands for, because she has been so careful never to stand for anything. Obama’s really the same, although as a former candidate for the US Senate and the presidency, he’s been obliged to make a [...]
Wherein the author zeroes in on a political impasse produced by the ongoing clash between status quo propaganda and reality, as indoctrinated publics around the globe grope for answers in the midst of confusion and deliberate misinformation. We’re adrift in a capitalist ocean… By David Michael Green Editor’s Note: We are in perfect agreement [...]
By David Michael Green America has the meanest of politics today, and by that I don’t mean small. America also has the most impoverished of politics today, and by that I do mean small. It’s hard to imagine us practicing a political discourse more trivial than the one we do today. It’s difficult [...]
In a Washington permeated with cynicism and contempt for the people, anything is possible. By David Michael Green So Barack Obama got his change. Other people can even believe in it if they want. I regret to say I remain unimpressed. And that’s about the nicest way I know how to put it. In fairness, [...]
By David Michael Green The entire regressive agenda is based on lies, most of them both whopping in scale and utterly transparent to any remotely sentient human being. How, then, has it succeeded so well these last thirty years? There are many answers to that question, including, especially, the collapse in confidence of alternative ideologies, [...]
