    Jamming with Geppetto By David Glenn Cox
    Recently a Bush supporter asked me “So which is it? Is the President an idiot or a genius.” The idea being to paint the Presidents critic’s into a corner either he’s a genius and we were all wrong before or he’s an idiot and we are all wrong now. But the short answer is the President is neither he’s a psychopath.
    A psychopath is mentally ill but believes he is smarter than everyone else, (…)

    The Last Redoubt By David Glenn Cox
    Many people think of catastrophes as an exclamation point, a lightening bolt from out of the blue sky. The truth is usually that most cataclysms are a series of minor events unnoticed in their individual accounts but it is when the sums are totaled that we begin to see it before our eyes and shake our heads with disappointment in our own rekonings.
    The liner Titanic was running full speed through an ice field despite warnings, it was a moonless night (…)

  • Scum

    By David Glenn Cox
    Who among us hasn’t been told to clean up our mess? Who among us doesn’t take responsibility for our actions? Who would dump garbage on their neighbors and then just ignore them when they complain? World Capitalist’s that’s who, far from the claims of growth and prosperity promised to us by global free trade we have heard not only the giant sucking sound of disappearing employment but the sound of giants sucking.

    Bathroom Stalls or White House Halls By David Glenn Cox
    Tea and sympathy fell like rain from the CNN (Corporate News Network) anchors yesterday. Poor Senator Larry Craig was forced to resign amidst an undercover policeman’s accusations. Wait just a damn minute here, when was the last time you heard a policeman’s sworn testimony called an accusation? In a purely legalese definition it’s factually true but it gives the impression of an unproven event which is demonstrably false.

  • Professional Lying
    31 August 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    We all know this won’t hurt, the checks in the mail and well you get the point, But those are the mundane lies anyone can come up with one of those. The simple lie the lie of omission but how about the whoppers the ones even the professionals in the trade lawyers and politicians shake their heads and marvel at such audacity.
    Some one at the beauru of lies prevarication’s and falsities deserves the golden forked tongue award. “U.S. Household Incomes Rose Last Year” (…)

    By David Glenn Cox
    The unraveling has begun, watching the talking heads the only thing they seem to agree on is the money being pumped in by central banks around the world isn’t getting to where it needs to go. That’s an easy one, everyone wants to help the leper’s but no one wants to go do it personally.
    But for George Herbert Hoover Bush this is his moment in the sun, his hour of redemption. During hurricane Katrina Bush was accused of ignoring the suffering of the residents of (…)

  • I’m Gonna Get You Sucker
    13 August 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    What if just hypothetically, you had spoken out against the government or exposed government corruption. Then you’re pulled over by police and they look at your driver license and say, “Yeah that looks like the guy.” You are arrested and taken downtown and booked on a charge of conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
    You protest your innocence but in court the police testify that although they did not find any drugs on you. They observed you holding plastic bags that they believed had drugs in (…)

  • All the Print that’s Fit to News
    13 August 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    All totalitarian governments use the media to promote their policies, the media becomes an arm of the government. The Nazi’s understood the use of mass media to convince the public and as the bombs rained down on Germany cities the media would lament how the war had been forced on Germany. How that warmonger Churchill had forced Germany into war.
    In Russia everyone loved Chairman Stalin, the parades and demonstrations with school children dancing were proof enough to the casual observer. (…)

  • No One Told You When to Run

    It’s incredibly hard to wake the working class, not because they are heavy sleepers or because they are lazy. But because they go to sleep tired and worried, about their kids and their jobs and their future. They are too preoccupied with the day to day struggle for life to hold intellectual arguments on class warfare. Much like our Iraqi brethren trying to live through Bushes shock and awe Saddam’s politics don’t mean a damn thing when you’re just trying to keep your family alive.

  • The Failing
    7 August 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    The failure of the I-35 Bridge in Minneapolis was an obvious failure of infrastructure, of deferred maintenance, of it’s not in the budget for this fiscal year. But over looked is the fact that this is our second warning not our first. The levees failing in New Orleans was an identical failure. The warnings were well known and just like the I-35 Bridge and hundreds of others they fell on deaf ears.
    Our politicians like recalcitrant school children refuse to learn their lessons and spend (…)
