That's the title of a recent OpenLeft comment from The Big Hurt. Continuing:

they don't care about bipartisanship

they just use it as a front for their corporate sellouts

What else is there to say?

That's the title of an entry at Collectibles Today's site. And yes, it's adorable:

About Installments

Installments make shopping affordable!

A commenter at The Agonist explains it all in a few well-chosen words:

Henry Ford was a tight old bastard,

but he paid his workers twice what he had to, because he understood the people making the product had to be able to afford to buy it.

The irony here is those squeezing labor, here and in China, are destroying their collective market. Not only the market for manufactured goods, but the investment markets based on manufacturing. The economy has to have a convection cycle of rising assets and precipitating benefits, or it breaks down. Healthy labor is healthy consumers. How hard is that to figure?

The American Middle Class no longer has the Red Army to defend it.

So long as there was this big scary alternative to capitalism those bastards had to play nice, produce concrete reasons to support capitalism.

With that problem out of the way, with the socialists and communists who caused the New Deal to happen crushed by the post war Red Scare, it's back to bidness as usual, circa 1900.

Ain't no corporatism, or predatory capitalism, it's just capitalism.

Those of us who happily gulped down the bright anti-red Kool-Aid are not happy with this realization.

What's left?

Maddow slips in ratings but not in her resolve

The first 100 days of a new presidential administration are known as the honeymoon because it marks a time of friendly relations between the new chief executive and the media. But for MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show," the early days of the Obama administration have meant an unwelcome drop in ratings.

US Rep. Corrine Brown (D-Fla) is a not always well-spoken Congresswoman. Some racist joker on Youtube took one of her short House floor speeches and jazzed it up with loops and splices. A DU jagoff linked to it, and general hilarity
ensued. (I'd quote some of this shit, but then you'd have to ban me.)

But hey, it's a perfectly reasonable post for DU. Because, we all know blacks are stupid and don't know how to talk and we should ridicule them at any opportunity, because that's what Democrats do, right? Right?

Yes, we have been immensely damaged, collectively and individually by the chimp that occupied the WH for the last eight years. And if the concept "national brain" means anything, we can safely assume that it has sustained horrendous damage.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- A Connecticut woman mauled by a chimpanzee two weeks ago lost her hands, nose, lips and eyelids and may be blind and suffering brain damage, and hospital officials say it's still unclear if her condition can improve at all..

(The YouTube title for this vid is NYC Wall St. Bailout Protest 25 September 2008. Did you see it on the teebee? Me neither. But it strongly suggests that the consensus on TARP outside the Village is at least as strong as the consensus inside - just in the opposite direction.
