"The Lesser of Two Evils" and Why Progressives Often Lose

1822 Comments | Posted February 1, 2012 | 2/1/12

There comes a time during just about every general election cycle when a faction of progressive Democratic voters begin to harrumph and gripe about the two party system. Specifically, the following remark jumps back into popular discourse: "we're choosing between the lesser of two evils."

The off-handed rejection of...

Progressives, Obamabots and a Realistic Evaluation of the President

1898 Comments | Posted January 19, 2012 | 1/19/12

I am no one's disciple. However, any attempt at an objective view of both the progressive and broader accomplishments of the Obama administration has been histrionically, unfairly and chronically mislabeled as the blind allegiance of an "Obamabot" or "Obama apologist." Therefore, because I've been attempting to observe the successes and...

The Fantastical Crackpot Cult of Ron Paul

3465 Comments | Posted January 11, 2012 | 1/11/12

During Tuesday night's New Hampshire Primary election coverage, Lawrence O'Donnell hilariously and saliently described Ron Paul as "not a candidate," therefore Jon Huntsman was the realistic second place winner, though not technically since he placed third on paper. Likewise, Mother Jones' Kevin Drum recently wrote that...

Ron Paul Is No Friend to Progressives

3446 Comments | Posted January 4, 2012 | 1/4/12

Progressives who are considering a move from the Democratic Party in order to support Ron Paul are out of their blessed gourds. Ron Paul is not your friend, progressives, no matter how non-interventionist, plaintive and wide-eyed he appears to be.

For the next several months, Ron Paul will continue to...

Time to Occupy the Internet Before It's Too Late

Posted December 9, 2011 | 12/9/11

There's a bizarre irony in the fact that we're so absorbed and immersed in an online universe, we're not really paying attention to the slow but steady corporate takeover of the very thing that's the center of our nearly constant attention. There's a cold war of attrition being fought for...

The Rise and Fall and Rise of Newt Gingrich

Posted November 16, 2011 | 11/16/11

Conservatives have rummaged their way through the primary clown car and landed back on the generous lap of Newt Gingrich. The approximately 45-day pattern of elevating a candidate, then watching as that candidate melts down has apparently lapped itself, since Newt Gingrich has already been elevated and subsequently disintegrated back...

Occupy Wall Street Isn't Anti-Corporation, It's Anti-Corporate Crime

Posted October 27, 2011 | 10/27/11

I've been listening to right-wing talk radio quite a bit lately. No, I'm not changing sides, and I'm not serving penance for a brutal crime. But I occasionally get caught up in talk radio's Death Star tractor beam and subsequently drawn into its psychotic docking bay of crazy.

Seriously, though,...
