war all the time
Occupy Wall Street has just completed its ninth day — but you wouldn’t know, since America’s glorious free press is too busy covering the Big Stories: “New Ben and Jerry’s flavor in poor taste?” and “Man with broken leg survives 4 days in desert” and “Michele Bachmann goes somewhere, says something”). The anti-American media-fairness group [...]
Libya, wherever that is, is costing America $1.1 Billion, just for the summer. At least $716 Million has already been thrown at Libya in the form of bombs. Somewhere, we’ve also got this figure that shows the Obama Administration has spent $2 Billion of the nearly $50 Billion budgeted and set aside to help people [...]
Found in a box of old letters in Harry Truman’s papers is this elegant little word weapon from parents who lost their child to Truman’s imperial war in Korea: Mr. Truman As you have been directly responsible for the loss of our son’s life in Korea, you might just as well keep this emblem on [...]

At any rate: Writing for Wonkette completely transformed our life, in a good way, we think. We remember when Ken Layne emailed us our WordPress Login Info, [...]
Hooray, the plan worked! Sort of … NATO will take “command” of the no-fly zone enforcement, but still refuses to have anything to do with the “dropping bombs” and “blowing shit up” part.

Do you get the feeling America is in actual meltdown, for real this time, and that the outcome is as hazy as some night-time web video streaming on Al Jazeera from Libya or Bahrain or wherever?
