When I read stories like this…
I don’t understand why I am supposed to care about this whole #OccupyWallStreet protest. There is no platform, no legislative vehicle, no coherent call to action, no overriding message, and very little in the way of any point.
…and then read that the pilots union joined the occupation, followed by the [...]
Pathetic
I just wasted a half-hour of my life, 30 minutes i will NEVER get back, watching what was billed as a presidential Town Hall Meeting on the Debt Ceiling and Deficit Reduction.
The first question was about discrimination about atheists. Another wanted to know Obama’s biggest regrets. Another asked about compromise, what does it [...]
Bill Clinton and Paul Ryan: Caught on Tape Conspiring to Undermine Medicare
I learned back in 1992 that Bill Clinton was a lying piece of shit, not a progressive, and barely a Democrat.
From the description:
Leaked cell phone footage of Bill Clinton cozying up to Paul Ryan

Obama to Poor, Sick, Elderly: Drop Dead
We elected George W. Bush in blackface:
Mr. Obama, who is to meet at the White House with the bipartisan leadership of Congress in an effort to work out an agreement to raise the federal debt limit, wants to move well beyond the $2 trillion in savings sought in earlier negotiations and seek perhaps twice as [...]
Open Letter to Coca-Cola and Pepsi: You Lost a Customer for Life. Go Fuck Yourselves.
Yesterday, Philadelphia’s City Council voted overwhelmingly to save our failing schools, led by an incompetent and probably corrupt superintendent, by raising property taxes by nearly 4%, the third such hike in three years. The competing proposal, to tax soda pop by 2 cents a bottle, was defeated. I wonder why?
Meanwhile, anti-soda-tax forces were [...]

Item:
U.S. REP. Allyson Schwartz is a pearl-necklace-wearing policy wonk who prides herself on picking her battles and choosing her words carefully. But sometimes she just has to speak her mind.

Schwartz, who represents parts of Philadelphia and Montgomery counties, was the first [...]

This is rich.
A few weeks ago, I posted about Philadelphia Republicans’ recent town-hall debate, and listed all the ways in which the Republican candidates are unfit to govern, insane, short-sighted, and foolish.
What i neglected to mention was that I left a comment at the article, stating pretty [...]
Philadelphia: Beware of Republicans Promising “Reform”
Earlier this week, the Philly Weekly reported on the city’s Republican town hall debate. All of them had interesting things to say, too much for me to provide a synopsis in a blockquote.
At the same time, no matter what any of these candidates say, I discourage all Philadelphians from voting for even [...]
