Proud SouthernerOver the weekend, Molly Ball, writing in The Atlantic made the case for Democrats winning back the Deep South. When I was just becoming aware of politics as a kid, everything that made me hate the Democratic Party stemmed from the fact that it owned the Deep South-- and was owned by the Deep South.

Rarely has any American provoked such fury in Washington’s high places. So far, Edward Snowden has outsmarted the smartest guys in the echo chamber – and he has proceeded with the kind of moral clarity that U.S. officials seem to find unfathomable. Bipartisan condemnations of Snowden are escalating from Capitol Hill and the Obama administration. [...]
I am deeply shocked at the American public doing absolutely nothing while the criminals that run their government rush towards war against another innocent nation, Syria, on behalf of their Jewish masters in Tel Aviv.... The nation of Syria has done absolutely nothing against the United States or the entire international community, so I must ask why the hell we are about to support an attack that will the murder of thousands of innocent Syrian civilians?Some very important questions about this so called "civil war" in Syria have always been: "Who exactly are these so called "rebels"?

John Boozman (R-AR) isn't a better senator than Blanche Lincoln was. When she was a congresswoman and then a senator she was generally rated an "F." Boozman is actually worse, although when you get down that low, there's no grade worse than an "F." There's no such thing as an "F-minus" or a "G." Boozman's ProgressivePunch score since he replaced Lincoln is a ridiculous 3.16 (out of 100) and for the current year, he scores a zero.

Egypt is one of the world's original tourist destinations. People have been traveling there to see the wonders-- whether built by man or alien-- since the beginning of recorded time. Roland and I decided to spend a month there just after Thanksgiving, 1997. Egypt is usually overrun with tourists from around the world. But the month we were there, we basically had Egypt to ourselves (not counting the Egyptians).

Sixty prominent Bulgarian intellectuals have issued a special declaration against ‘plutocracy’ in the country, calling for an end to rule by the wealthy and a return to democracy.
The so-called charter for disbanding the plutocratic model of the Bulgarian state was issued on Sunday amid the ongoing protests by Bulgarians to oust the three-week-old government.
The Guardian, which was supposedly live-blogging Edward Snowden’s departure from Moscow and his flight to Cuba, is reporting the whistle-blowing computer whiz is not on the plane — much to the dismay of a sizeable contingent of reporters, who hurriedly booked seats on the same flight. And the reporter, Miriam Elder, adds this startling observation:
Last week the Taliban opened an office in Doha, Qatar with the US government’s blessing. They raised the Taliban flag at the opening ceremony and referred to Afghanistan as the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" – the name they used when they were in charge before the US attack in 2001. The US had meant for [...]

The easiest-- and laziest-- way to vote without following exactly what our political elites are doing every day, is to just vote against all Republicans and for all Democrats.

Ha ha!by KenAs some readers will recall, I'm not a great fan of The New Yorker's Washington correspondent, Ryan Lizza.

I have long had problems understanding the mindset of the Jews, and how they can be so truly evil and barbaric.
