“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”-Isaac Asimov Over the decades, […]
“US says Russian warplane hits American drone over Black Sea“ Yesterday, US officials claimed that a Russian fighter jet struck the propeller of a U.S. surveillance drone over the Black Sea on in a “brazen violation of international law,” causing American forces to bring down the unmanned aerial vehicle, the U.S. said.

In the absence of any actual policies, the GOP has chosen instead to promote every unqualified, brain-damaged wannabe fascist they can find to public office. Former NFL star, wife-beater and serial philanderer Herschel Walker is a perfect example of this strategy, but he is certainly not the only one. The Republican nominee for the US […]
I love books. And when I say “I love books” I mean I really, really, REALLY love books. Some might say they are an obsession. If you come to my house you will find stacks of books of every shape and size crammed into every corner and nook and cranny of our little 1,100 square […]

Oh aren’t they just so smug and self-righteous? And now they are everywhere! And you know that most of them consider themselves ‘progressives’ who care so much about the environment that they’re willing to dole out $60K plus for a fucking passenger car.
