"The two parties have combined against us to nullify our power by a ‘gentleman's agreement' of non-recognition, no matter how we vote ... May God write us down as asses if ever again we are found putting our trust in either the Republican or the Democratic Parties." -- W.E.B. DuBois (1922)

Now Playing at the Mirror On America Cinema
The Crazies - Starring Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, The Tea Partiers, and the ill informed (clueless) American voter. The summary of the actual movie doesn't seem too far off the mark. Irrationality and plain lunacy have taken over American politics and is creeping into mainstream culture. Soon American voters will return the same people to power (The Republicans) who presided over the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. In addition to having very short memories, Americans apparently don't have much in terms of brains or reasoning ability. What happened to common sense? I have absolutely no faith in the American voter. None. The crazies have definitely taken over. The ill-informed voter is the most dangerous voter of all. And now (thanks to the American education system) these folks exist in great numbers and will be making decisions for the rest of us through the ballot box. This essentially means that gridlock will become the norm. The U.S. is going to be paralyzed and held hostage by the nuts on the right for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, when the Country needs bold political leadership and action the most...when the Country will need to do big bold things as it did under Lincoln, FDR, Eisenhower, & Kennedy, this time it won't be able to respond to the great challenges that it faces. Other Countries will take the lead role instead.... while the U.S. falls behind.
The Republican Media Page
A page focusing on the Republican Right Wing media and its war against President Barack Obama and any kind of Progressive policies to move the Country forward. Yes, the Republican Party IS led by Rush Limbaugh & Co. And yes, Rush Limbaugh & Co. DOES speak for Republicans...and they have been the spokesmen & the foot soldiers for the Republican Party for years. See why their hate speech & divisive politics are so dangerous to the Country and understand their current propaganda campaign aimed at undermining President Obama and weakening his government and the Country. Hoping that Obama fails in these uncertain times = hoping that the Country fails (in the minds of these bigoted Republicans...it's all about their own political gain).

Liar In the Spotlight - Our Worst Person List
Willard Romney When is he not lying about something? He lies, misleads and flipflops whenever it's convenient. I haven't noticed anything genuine about him yet. His comment about not being concerned about the very poor was revealing (one of the few moments when he slipped up and allowed himself to be honest about something). That statement took the cake. (The idea that he could become POTUS scares the Hell out of me)

One of My favorite B-Humph tracks, right behind New York Times. Nice selection!
I copped Midon's "State of Mind" album back in '06. Before that, I never heard of him. But I was AMAZED at his work. The dude is fierce!
Thanks Verb!
For those not familiar with Verb.... she is the ultimate music geek. Musicologist bar none.
One of my favorite Sensei's of music.
I'm a music geek myself....but Verb= the pinnacle.
Still a resource to this day.
Unfortunately I haven't had the funds over the last few years to really enjoy music as a hobby (thank God for the net). So I haven't had to draw on that resource as much.
I can't wait until I find decent, respectable employment (that pays), so that I can start buying CD's again.
Midon is underrated.
We don't see enough of these artists/musicians... meanwhile, Hip Hop, Beyonce, Kanye "A--Hat" West, Jay Z etc etc are shoved down the throats of the average consumer.
