- G.E.’s Strategies Let It Avoid Taxes Altogether – Maybe I'm dense, but I can't understand why a highly profitable corporation doing business in the U.S. can get away with not paying any taxes. Yet the government is cutting funding to Planned Parenthood and PBS? Hello? Does this make sense to ANYONE?
- William Cronon and the American Thought Police – "The Cronon affair, then, is one more indicator of just how reflexively vindictive, how un-American, one of our two great political parties has become. " Read about it in the NYTimes.

- Media Matters’ war against Fox – "The liberal group Media Matters has quietly transformed itself in preparation for what its founder, David Brock, described in an interview as an all-out campaign of “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” aimed at the Fox News Channel." Read more on Politico.com. All I can say is: it's about freaking time.
- America: You Keep Using That Word… – "When you say you’re a proud American, what is it that you’re proud of?" I don't see it, either.
Act Like an American
Stop being close-minded, fearful bigots.
One of my Facebook friends shared this wonderful image the other day. It’s apparently a reproduction by Al Haug of an image that’s been floating around the Web for a while. He found a smaller version of the image on Salon.com but even the author of that post didn’t know where it originated.
I think it says a lot about what’s going on these days in America. We used to be a strong, proud country, tolerant of different races and religions. Now we’re the victims of fear-mongering radio show hosts and failed governors who feed us hate until we’re afraid of everything different from what we are.
And don’t even get me started on the war against science.
It makes me sick to see what this country is becoming.
Read this sign. Share it with your friends. Remember the message. Stop fearing. Stop hating.
Act like an American.
The Sidewalk to Nowhere
A truly distressing video.
A Twitter member (@genias) tweeted a link to this video to me today. I think it’s probably one of the most upsetting videos I’ve ever seen. It features a long line of my fellow countrymen and women acting like complete assholes, abusing otherwise peaceful protesters and reporters.
Freedom of speech is an important freedom, but when it’s used to hurl hate messages and lies, it’s better not to listen.
I had enough of this video halfway through. Can you watch the whole thing without worrying about the future of our country?
