Which raises the question: How many glasses of water a day should you

“At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is

today pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach,

Why No Members Of Congress Who Call Themselves Democrats Should Contribute To The DCCC This Cycle
DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 7 hours ago
The other day a Democrat who I respect and admire had a staffer call me and
ask if Blue America would be up for doing a fundraiser for him. He had
certainly earned it by his unrelenting work on behalf of working families.
My first instinct was to go, "Of course, how much does he need?" But then I
thought about it for a second and said, "I know no Republican is running
against him; does he have a primary?" He didn't. So why does he need us to
ask our grassroots small donor base to contribute, since they're so
stretched already trying to help elect Democrats in tough races? "Well, he... more »

A Dystopian Future

George Orwell and Aldous Huxley envisioned nightmarish worlds, which were

Reeves writes:
It might be called "Brave New World 3.0."—a new projection of a world of
machine-driven alphas and lesser beings, from betas to epsilons. The book
is a smart and cruel projection of the world Cowen sees coming. In fact, he
thinks it is already here.

Speaking of George Zimmerman, Here's Ol' Man McCain and Lindsey Graham On the Warpath.
The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 23 hours ago
Forget the unabomber. America's moved on and filled Ted Kaczynski's shoes
with the duobombers. That's right, old man McCain and his longtime
girlfriend, Lindsey Graham.
These geezers think calling off the aerial shitstorm planned for Iran Syria
is a big mistake.
*In a statement released on Saturday, McCain and Graham said the deal would
give the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, time "to delay and deceive"
while the country's civil war continued.*
*The statement said: "It requires a willful suspension of disbelief to see
this agreement as anything other than the start of a dipl... more »

Mining the Data
Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 23 hours ago
Alan at *Biased BBC* caught a rather striking example of a certain way of
thinking at the BBC, as put into words by Nicky Campbell on Radio 5 Live during
an interview with Labour MP Fabian Hamilton:
Would you like to do to the arms industry what people say Mrs Thatcher did
to the coal mining industry, would you like to phase it out and close it
down?
Alan describes this as a "schoolboy error" on Nicky Campbell's part, and
presents the data to support it.
I can only add a little more data - but it's strikingly revealing data, and

Two days ago, September 11th, was 40th anniversary of the coup in Chile that overthrew the democratically elected Allende government. This coup has long been known to have been orcestrated by Henry Kissinger, including the murder of a journalist, Charles Horman, who was going to expose the truth that the U.S. already had "boots on the ground." Was it a coincidence, or something more sinister, that on the very day of this anniversary John Kerry was getting advice from Kissinger, the war criminal.

The BBC's use of the word 'controversial' is itself controversial - well,

biased cloud over things of which they themselves disapprove.
The underlying assumption here, if I think about it, seems to be that
