Desertion
Submitted by hecate on Mon, 10/15/2018 - 3:58amMichael Savage is a barking lunatic who for three hours on the radio each day is violently insane. He jackboots up and down the dial bellowing blood-and-soil "borders, language, culture" atavism, a knuckledragging retroversion basically stolen by The Hairball to become the president.
Savage's real last name is Weiner, like the penis, and with his Savage Weiner penis he produced a son, Russell, who concocted a swill called Rockstar, a blend of caffeine and poison that the humans pour down their mouth-holes in the delusion they will thereby achieve "energy." I have a Resentment and even a Hate for this product, because I know that the original and true Rockstar was invented by Zack. I know this because I was present at the creation.

(An important reminder): James Comey and the Unending Bush Torture Scandal
Submitted by Amanda Matthews on Sun, 10/14/2018 - 1:28pmThis guy is a horrible excuse for a human being. He’s never hesitated to do the bidding of the worst this country has to offer. He was up to his armpits in the bush/cheney torture programs. He helped grease the wheels. It’s time to take another look at his record of ‘public service’.

A Day Late and a Dollar Short
Much of this week's news cycle makes it plain that as a species we react, but we're not very good at acting today for a better tomorrow. Give me mine NOW! It isn't just the hurricane and UN climate report that drive this lesson home to me but also the WaPo journalist slaughtered in Turkey by the Saudis - where has the outrage been about the Yemeni children whose blood is on our hands too. And how about the so called correction (crash) of the market this week "caused by the tariffs"...while ignoring the over valuation caused by corporations using their tax cuts to buy their own stock (which used to be illegal). So humans seem pretty good at jumping after they've been burned, but not so good at avoiding setting the woods on fire in the first place.
