The Burdened Sourpusses of the Ruling Class
*Irreverence is the champion of liberty, and its only sure defense* -- Mark Twain. It was the guffaw heard round the world.

She and her group were duly escorted out of the building for daring to poke fun at Sessions and his whole crowd of withered old racist reprobates. Since the Department of Jiffy Jeffy Justice then insanely insisted on prosecuting Fairooz and two other p... more »

THAAD Rocket Fuel: Likely Ground Water Contamination Coming to Seongju, South Korea
The unwelcome US deployment of the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) missile defense (MD) system in Seongju, South Korea is not only a significant threat to regional peace but is also a major environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. The reason is that rocket fuel contains a deadly chemical component called perchlorate. And since the Seongju area is a melon farming community the risk of ground water contamination by perchlorate should be alarming to all concerned. Perchlorate, the explosive ingredient in solid rocket fuel, has leaked from military bases and weapons ... more »

Health Care: "A Paler Shade of Gray"
*"A Paler Shade of Gray"* by Jim Kunstler “If you seek to know why this country is in so much trouble, check out the lead reports about the health care reform bill in today’s New York Times, WashPo, and CNN. You will find there is no intelligible discussion in any of them as to what’s actually ailing US health care. All you get is play-by-play commentary about which political tag-team is “winning,” as if this were a pro wrestling match - with an overlay of gloat that the Republicans fell oafishly out of the ring in the early rounds. Of course, an issue even larger than the health ... more »
"The Healthcare Confusopoly"
*"The Healthcare Confusopoly"* by Scott Adams "Years ago I coined the term Confusopoly to describe any industry that benefits by keeping consumers confused. For example, mobile phone carriers know their offerings are too confusing for consumers to compare one company to another on cost. That is clearly intentional. If consumers could compare offerings it would drive profit margins to zero fairly quickly. By keeping their service and pricing confusing, they keep margins high. Insurance companies are also confusopolies. So are law firms. And the entire financial services industry is ... more »
