"This must be what it’s like when a country goes insane, when it falls down a rabbit hole and tries to pretend that everything is normal. It can’t tell truths from lies. Hucksters pose as upright men, and people imagine they are Solons, avatars of insight come down from the ages. Sleazy operators pass themselves off as statesmen, as thinkers of... - http://astranavigo08.multiply.com/notes...
Well, Colorado is ground-zero for the Fundie movement, but the other two Santorum wins were a surprise, really - three in a row still doesn't mean the guy has a chance in the Hell-I-don't-believe-in at the nomination, but it does, indeed, give a thinking man pause regarding the state of the nation and its collective sanity. - http://astranavigo08.multiply.com/notes...
"The Superbowl pageant is a window into the condition of American manhood, and the view is pretty pathetic. The reality is an audience of diabetic fat men in clownish loungewear slouched on sofas in foreclosed houses enjoying stupendous portions of cheesy and lard-laden foodstuffs between cigarettes and beers. They have a lot to worry about and... - http://astranavigo08.multiply.com/notes...
"America is not interested in reality. America is a nine-hundred pound man imprisoned in a fetid trailer bedroom begging for one more case of Little Debbie Cocoa Cremes before the front-end-loader bashes through the wall to haul him to intensive care. America just wants to hear another story about its own wonderfulness. I've had enough of Obama,... - http://astranavigo08.multiply.com/notes...
The Bleating of Barack Obama Last night, I heard something sincerely pathetic. I heard a man beg for his job on national TV. Understand something. I detest... - http://astranavigo.blogspot.com/2012...
"America is now a land of epidemic poverty and barbaric prisons: the consequence of a "market" extremism which, under Obama, has prompted the transfer of $14 trillion in public money to criminal enterprises in Wall Street. The historic corollary of a perpetual war state, this is not fascism, not yet, but neither is it democracy in any recognizable... - http://astranavigo08.multiply.com/notes...
"I discern the distant sound of rebellion, a spirit that won't be appeased by bytes of Disney-babble from the pandering snouts of Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, Paul or Obama. A nation that can't call 'bullshit' on its own lies deserves all the suffering that might rain down upon it, and that's exactly where we are heading as things economic morph... - http://astranavigo08.multiply.com/notes...
After listening to the Republican hopefuls as they prepare for the Fundie love-fest in South Carolina which is their primary-election, I'm reminded of Harry Truman's statement, "If you vote Republican, you ought to go to Hell.".... - http://astranavigo08.multiply.com/notes...
100,000 bumpkins who think the earth is 6,000 years old vote for a guy who believes in magic underwear and another who thinks just like they do - and the whole country pays attention thanks to the media - personally; I'm embarrassed. This is the best we have to offer by way of running America? - http://astranavigo08.multiply.com/notes...
"We come now to another winter of our discontent, and though the tents and signs and shouts of the movement have been momentarily subdued, they will return. Spring is coming, the rocks are already rolling down the mountainside, and while there is still time for the pebbles to catch up, gravity is an absolute. Sooner or later, those rocks will... - http://astranavigo08.multiply.com/notes...
