Over the past few days, the corporate media has been trumpeting September’s “low” 7.2% unemployment rate.

The six pages making up chapter 14 of Joe Mcginniss’ book about Sarah Palin are must reading. A book review is not supposed to tell you the contents, but to outline the important themes.

So much here—where to begin? Originally I wanted to use the timeless political line, Lipstick on a pig for the headline. Google the term to see why.

What took place 1,941 years ago this month (August) that profoundly changed the world, but is seldom, if ever talked about?

Meet Peter King and Brigitte Gabriel, the Xenophobic Washington DC Dynamic Duo who is singlehandedly working to defeat freedom, liberty, and the American way of life

As a Veteran I am deeply hurt and saddened that Rolling Thunder was duped by Sarah Palin.

One day after Sarah Palin announced her bus tour, a group sponsoring a Memorial Day weekend event she plans to attend said they never invited her.

Neil deGrasse Tyson's professional research interests are broad, but include star formation, exploding stars, dwarf galaxies, and the structure of our Milky Way.

Decades of political repression of dissent in Egypt has created an iceberg out of the Muslim Brotherhood group -MB- with seven-eighths of its actual size under the surface.

Just what is this Koch Industries? Should it be called a "company?" If so we need to re-think the idea of what a company and a business is supposed to be. Even the brother of Koch Industries owners David and Charles Koch called the company an "organized crime" operation.

The widening gulf between those who hold all the wealth in our various societies, those who manipulate the strings of power and the mass of people who produce that wealth with their sweat and labor, has widened to a point that has become intolerable even among the normally complaisant.

I'd also like to take a moment to debunk the myth being widely spread by the corporate media that merely mentioning the Nazis in response to what's currently going on in America is irresponsible and beyond the pale. That's total nonsense and is in direct contradiction to another adage that states that a crazy person is one who does the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. Thus, the corporate media is literally asking us to embrace insanity.

It is indeed interesting to see how all of a sudden the corporate media and the GOP have come together to praise the president's Arizona speech - even FOX News. After two years of calling him a communist, a friend to terrorists, a fraud, and a liar, the GOP has finally found a reason to praise him. The reason they're praising him, however, is because, yet again, he's allowed GOP criminals off the hook.

In the pantheon of America's gods, none is more powerful or worshiped with greater fervor than the god of violence. Its colleagues or brother gods of greed, sex, touchdown, slam dunk and bacon cheeseburg­ers all genuflect and grovel before the god of violence.

It's a fact that for every 100 American citizens there are 90 guns floating around in the USA. Only Yemen is remotely close to the USA in this race to the bottom at 61 out of 100. Yemen! The USA is the most armed country in the world! It's an embarassment and Americans are tiring of this earned bad reputation.

Before I get going, first, I really love how Rep. John Boehner was so happy to be the new U.S. Speaker of the House that he wept describing his road to leadership. I cried with him because it's not about us, it really is all about him; and that's sad! I mean he's a real special guy. I truly think he needs a hug!

That old-time religion, American xenophobia, is the vision, mission, objective, goal and message of the GOP political project. Without feeding bigotry and American nativism, there would be no Republican Party, period. There's a reason people like Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin and the ADL don't want a mosque near ground zero, writes M.J. Akbar—it will prove that there's nothing scary about Islam. And there goes the GOP political project

I am not sure when I first detected the noxious fumes that would envelop the conservative movement in the Obama era. It might have been early on, in April 2009, when I visited a series of gun shows in rural California and Nevada. Perusing tables piled high with high-caliber semi-automatic weapons and chatting with anyone in my vicinity, I heard urgent warnings of mass roundups, concentration camps, and a socialist government in Washington. "These people that are purchasing these guns are people that are worried about what's going on in this country," a gun dealer told me outside a show in Reno. "Good luck Obama," a young gun enthusiast remarked to me. "We outnumber him 100 to 1." At this time, the Tea Party movement had not even registered on the national media's radar.

On his radio show yesterday, Fox News host Glenn Beck drove home one of his favorite themes, declaring that progressives have "done everything they can to erase history," and he was "working feverishly to restore it." But like his false belief that Fox News was the only network to air Israeli Defense Forces video of the Gaza flotilla raid, Beck's belief that history is being abandoned in America by everyone but himself is an assertion without concern for the facts.
