REALITY: If Democrats are Corporatists too, voting... →
The Democratic party of 2010 looks like the Republican party of 2002. And I am fucking disgusted. Hey, remember that time we cut taxes for all the rich people and then at the end of the decade EVERYONE LOST THEIR JOBS AND THEIR HOMES?

The Nixonian henchmen of today: at the NYT →
Julian Assange’s personality traits have absolutely nothing to do with the infinitely more significant revelations of this leak.  They shed zero light on these documents, the authenticity of which is not in question.  Focusing on the tabloid aspects of Assange’s personal life can have no effect — and no purpose — other than to distract public attention away from the...

Shocker Internet Drive In →
This guy takes public domain movies and cartoons, and edits them together into a 1960s/70s drive-in movie experience! I just love this stuff.
