Clint Eastwood Self-Destructs On National Stage
Posted on 03. Sep, 2012 by Lucy Raed in Analysis, Politics
The Republican National Convention was its usual clot of cloying, decrepit and tiresome swill. More money for the rich, less money for the poor, starving and homeless. More money for the overly bloated military-industrial complex (even Ron Paul knows this is bad), less money for college students and the elderly. It was the often repeated mantra of liberty and justice for all… who can afford it. Everyone else is SOL.

It is sad to see men who so nobly served their country become shills for the RNC meatgrinder. A group of Special Forces veterans are being used by Republican strategists to sully the Obama-led Osama bin Laden raid.

Paul Ryan’s Demise
Posted on 12. Aug, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Paul Ryan may have made the greatest mistake of his political career yesterday when he publically admitted to the crime of being stupid enough to jump on the Romney ticket. I’m not sure what he was promised, how much campaign money and/or political clout the RNC heavies offered him, but there is no way it [...]

It took the boldness and courage of the Speaker of the Senate to shine the light right where it belongs: Mitt Romney’s pocketbook.

Many of us are still in shock over the bizarre, bewildering and generally backwards ruling that came down from the Supreme Court on Thursday.

Theo’s Twit Of The Week: The Eurozone Edition
Posted on 10. Jun, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
No matter how much lipstick you smear on these sows, the PIIGS aren’t getting any prettier… or less expensive.

And this week, whenever the topic of the Grexit comes up, it is difficult to avoid the name [...]
