  • Waiting for the Bus
    6 December 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Waiting for the Bus By David Glenn Cox
    Any one who has ever waited for a bus knows that gnawing feeling as the time approaches when the bus is due. Then when it fails to show up on time you begin to wonder, was it five minutes early? Did I miss the bus? That flash of fear that runs down your spine into your shoes, but you’re almost certain that it cannot be so. So you wait patiently confidant that all the facts are on your side but still the gnawing fear persists, facts be damned, did I (…)

    Who Your Friends Are,Says a Lot About You By David Glenn Cox
    President Bush said “a fledgling democratic movement that he sees spreading through the Middle East is essential to defeating terrorism, and warned Syria and Iran against thwarting the "momentum of freedom" and fomenting instability in the region.
    "The chances of democratic progress in the broader Middle East have seemed frozen in place for decades," Bush said at the National Defense University at Fort McNair. "Yet, at last, (…)

    Welcome To the Machine By David Glenn Cox
    I walked past the sign in the window almost unnoticed. But as I past, it caught my eye, an American flag then underneath the words united we stand. A relic, a leftover from a time of make believe, a time that never was. An illusionary fairy tale we told ourselves to blunt our fears with the facade of outrage and national unity.
    As I past I thought to myself, yeah, united we stand, right. Bullshit on both counts as we are neither united nor (…)

    When Two Wrongs Make a Right By David Glenn Cox
    So here we are, living on the precipice between dark and light. Between faux prosperity and economic catastrophe. With a government that is both fascist and inept, two parties fighting for control only so that they might hijack the vehicle for their own purposes.
    The people want impeachment the government says no, the people want these wars to end the government says no. The people want the end of corporate rule the government says no. All (…)

    Tom Joad Says, By David Glenn Cox
    “Maybe, there ain’t no sin and there ain’t no virtue it’s just what folks does.” Tom Joad said this out of his frustration in response to a world that was going to hell and nobody seeming to care. I share Tom’s frustrations with the world.
    I curse George Orwell for his typical British under statement. That our Big Brother would be faster crueler dumber and more incompetent. But that the media would be far more all encompassing and the prettier she gets (…)

    Not Another Fake News Conference By David Glenn Cox
    White House Press Secretary Dana Perino promised reporters yet again that the staged news conference organized on Tuesday by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would not happen again, and said the White House would never employ such tactics at its own press briefings.
    That sure does sound nice, doesn’t it? Are you reassured? However this isn’t the first time that the administration has done this nor will it be the last. (…)

    Incident Mar’s Maher By David Glenn Cox
    There’s the edge and then there’s the edge and then there’s the corporate edge. Bill Maher has made a name for himself in television with his edgy late night program Politically Incorrect but due to nervous network executives and fears of sponsor’s blowback the show was canceled. Then it was resurrected in a later time slot and with a different network. But again the show was hobbled by the network execs and quietly folded.
    But Maher returned on (…)

    By David Glenn Cox
    Score Cards! Get your scorecards! Can’t tell the players without a scorecard. In Soviet Russia the one party communist state would choose two candidates to run for a party office. Then the people would be asked to vote to decide on the candidates already anointed by the power structure. It was only the illusion of democracy, a silly exercise.
    Only by offering pastries and free beer to those who had voted could the Soviets keep the facade operating.
    So when Americans (…)

    There are No Republicans in Science Fiction By David Glenn Cox
    Only in America can you win the Nobel Peace Prize and then be condemned in the media. Rather than taking pride that an American won a prestigious award right wing pundits have reignited the whole there’s no global warming shtick. You would thing that they would begin to tire of being wrong, but no. When you never have to admit your wrong it becomes easier to be wrong even when the non-perfected disagree
    The party that voted (…)

    The Few, The Proud, Armies of One By David Glenn Cox
    Again and again they stand before the complicit media and say no, that is incorrect. The President makes claims and they repeat no, that is incorrect. Nancy and Harry talk a good game but all while they bob and weave denouncing the Presidents plans but funding them all the same. The media anointed presidential candidates of both parties do their best to distance themselves from the (…)
