Anyone Can Claim To Be A Democrat, But Not Every Democrat Embraces The Party's Core Values
Growing up in Brooklyn in the '60s, I wasn't always a big fan of the Democratic Party. In Brooklyn that's where corruption lived. And in terms of the issues that mattered most to me-- equality and peace-- some Democrats were on the same page as I was but many-- particularly powerful committee chairmen (and not *only* from The South-- were as far from my beliefs as the Republicans. Things have gotten better since the worst racists in the party migrated en masse to the GOP after Lyndon Johnson started signing legislation that integrated the country for real. The Solid South was stil... more »

May 24: IRock closes.
That's big news for the Irving press. Front page news. It seems nightclub attendance has been dropping in Moncton, so a number of clubs have closed. Let's see now. Nightclubs are closing because people aren't interested in them as they used to be. But if people aren't interested as they used to be in nightclubs, who wants to read a front page story about it - especially one that says almost nothing? Why don't people go to clubs as much? Does this signal some kind of a change in society? What does it mean? Really, you don't have a story if you have nothing to say. And you certainly d... more »

I am insulted by the promise of a “quality education”
The Washington Post recently reported that DC approved three new charter schools. What bothers me the most about this: do we really need any new charters?

Life Goes On In Iraq: Sabean Mandeans’ Golden Baptism Festival
Sabean Mandeans are considered one of the oldest religions in the world. Sabean is from the Aramaic word “saba” which means baptized. This is one of the basic rituals of the religion, being dipped into water to be baptized. Mandeans is from the Aramaic “yada – ada” to know, meaning that they are the baptized people who know about God.

Underlying motives behind the porn industry
*GKM* May 12, 2014 The pornography industry in America (Hollywood in particular) is not a nice topic, but we need to be aware of its pushers and their motives. Some are simply in it for the money, but many also have a political and religious motive. They are attempting to destroy any Christian values or moral basis for American society. Many have noticed the disproportionate involvement of Jews in Hollywood in general. But what many do not realize is the disproportionate involvement of Jews in the porn industry in Hollywood.

The Undeclared War on Muslims is Big Business in America
*New York Times Whores Out to Anti-Muslim Fanatics* There has long been a concerted effort to demonize Muslims in *t**he American Homeland* as a part of the never-ending big money maker that is the phony war on terror. Big media of course plays a critical role in the dark propaganda campaigns that ensure that millions of Americans will continue to see the menace of al Qaeda and worse lurking in the darkest corner of their closets and under their beds.

The Rich Are Reassured
On the eve of not so shocking revelations that the government essentially started a whole separate anti-Occupy branch, spying on lefties like there was no tomorrow for the plutocrats, President Obama has once again assured the plutocrats that there's no such thing as a left wing in his beloved Democratic Party anyway. Single payer health care? That's insane! Higher taxes on the rich on *his*watch? Fuggedaboutit.

Kurt Vonnegut, "Requiem"
*"Requiem"* by Kurt Vonnegut “The crucified planet Earth, should it find a voice and a sense of irony, might now well say of our abuse of it, "Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do." ․ The irony would be that we know what we are doing. ․ When the last living thing has died on account of us, how poetical it would be if Earth could say, in a voice floating up perhaps from the floor of the Grand Canyon, "It is done.

Is Charlie Dent Backing LGBT Equality Yet? Check Back In 20 Years

Spanish Inquisition Day 6
Our bus to Granada didn't leave until 11:00 which left time to sleep in and have a leisurely breakfast. I'd kill you for taking this if I weren't so tired and hungry. Southern Man then decided that it was worth a few Euros to save his aching feet so he (and several others) took cabs to the bus station where we boarded the bus for the three-hour ride to Granada and then took a city bus to our hostel. And this is an actual hostel with twelve-room units that have one bathroom and no tables and chairs and crappy wifi (Southern Man is retyping this entire post because of a crappy-wi-... more »
Autism and Ionizing Radiation
Diagnoses of autism are increasing and more researchers are concluding that environmental causes are contributing in significant ways to the rising diagnoses. Environmental injuries that are suspected to play a role in autism include DNA damage, primarily in the form of de novo mutations, epigenetic changes in how genes encode proteins, and endocrine system disturbances. The environmental culprits potentially responsible for these injuries are varied. This mini-essay seeks to redress a limitation in the autism research on environmental insults by exploring the potential role of rad... more »

Mike's Story Part 30 - Transference
*By **Jenna** Orkin* "I accomplished five things today," Mike said, getting up from writing a memo to an FTW staff member requesting, yet again, the black checkbook for the Ruppert family trust. But more work lay ahead. With $15,000 dollars, Mike and Ray could go to Ashland, kick ass and silence [the female employee suing him] forever. Also, the prospect of giving up the intellectual property rights to his own work stuck in his craw. "I'm going to ask Ray to stall the sale [of the website] til February," he said.

Day 5 in Paradise
Woke up this morning and headed to the Jaco Farmer's Market which was awesome. Kurt got a blackberry pie and a gallon of orange juice (freshly squeezed in front of us), then we got a variety of fruits and veggies as well. I bought a passionfruit and tried it tonight and OMG. Amazing. I need to buy more of those next time. It's like eating candy. I need to buy more of those. We also used one of the nectarines to make Kurt a smoothie, and he had some apples today as well. Everything awesome and fresh from the local farms. Came back to the house after the market and the guy to ... more »
NCTQ Gets Caught in a Data Collecting Lie
The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) will be “grading” university-level, traditional teacher training programs again soon. Last year, 2013, they released this report on June 18. They “grade” in a superficial manner, relying upon program artifacts to form skewed judgments– judgments that they publish in US News and World Report and that are meant to damage the credibility of […]

The Poet: Eugene O'Neill, "Free"
*"Free"* by Eugene O'Neill "Weary am I of the tumult, sick of the staring crowd, Pining for wild sea places where the soul may think aloud. Fled is the glamour of cities, dead as the ghost of a dream, While I pine anew for the tint of blue on the breast of the old Gulf Stream. I have had my dance with Folly, nor do I shirk the blame; I have sipped the so-called Wine of Life and paid the price of shame; But I know that I shall find surcease, the rest my spirit craves, Where the rainbows play in the flying spray, 'Mid the keen salt kiss of the waves. Then it's ho! for the plunging deck of... more »

"Our Fate..."
"It seems to me that almost all our sadnesses are moments of tension, which we feel as paralysis because we no longer hear our astonished emotions living. Because we are alone with the unfamiliar presence that has entered us; because everything we trust and are used to is for a moment taken away from us; because we stand in the midst of a transition where we cannot remain standing. That is why the sadness passes: the new presence inside us, the presence that has been added, has entered our heart, has gone into its innermost chamber and is no longer even there, - is already in our b...more »

How The Big Times Media Covers The Local Congressional Races-- L.A. Times/CA-31
No one's even asking Jean Merl to explain this drunken, coked up mess Jean Merl is the big kahuna among L.A. political journalists. She works at the *L.A. Times* and her articles are widely considered the most-read political stories in southern California, even though they generally lack context, insight and substance and are suspiciously similar to campaign talking points. If a reader expects to learn something more than superficial truisms, they'd better be prepared to do some investigation. In today's *Times* for example, she has a short story about the Inland Empire (CA-31) race,... more »

WIll Mark Foley Run For Congress Again?
Maybe Fox was just prescient-- instead of stupid or partisan When Mark Foley was forced to resign, in the midst of a shocking sex scandal just before the 2006 election, no one would have imagined he would ever run for office again-- no, one that is, except for people who know Mark Foley. He needed some time off. There were even rumors that he was begging the Republican House leadership to let him retire before well-placed leaks from Rahm Emanuel tanked his career and-- many say-- Republican chances in the 2006 midterms. Today, Foley is a political consultant and... a lobbyist-- somet... more »
