Bye bye USA?

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 / Joan

As if Things Weren’t Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S. – WSJ.com

Interesting that there is not a single factual “reason” cited in the article explaining exactly why the US is doomed to fracture. Cool-looking map though…

Up to their old tricks, like the shameless tramps they’ve always been

• The GOP’s minority ‘outreach’ | Jay Bookman

No one in their right mind could think that a song entitled “Barack the Magic Negro” is anything other than racism. It’s not parody. It’s not social commentary. It’s not funny. Apparently, however, the bigots and racists of this totally disconnected gang of hoodlums that call themselves the republican party, are defending their so-called right to spew as much garbage as they like. After all, their patron saint and spokesman, Rush, played it first on his hate-radio program, bestowing it with the curse of all that is wrong with this country.

Our next president is soon to be sworn into office, and the childish squawks and screeches of the republicans will not drown out the voices of so many Americans–yes, we can and did! Deal with it.
