Why bicycles make smart people say stupid things (http://is.gd/h0Q58V)

If you hear, "Doing something" & think, "Doing something military"... You're in a permanent war economy

Opposition research--know the other side's propaganda

The two narco states are the outliers--no surprise here

But it's just metadata

... especially given all our military misadventures, far beyond our borders

Idolatry explained

Passionate curiosity

Corporate terrorism

Good Samaritan, bad Samaritan

Hey Minute Men & ICE, why not do a 180 & stop corporate inversions & tax breaks for offshoring jobs?

Geronimo: ...because I had been more deeply wronged than others, this honor [chief] was conferred upon me...

Stop King C.O.N.G. Tell the Energy Department & EPA: There is no "all of the above" solution

New term for your lexicon: "Global Weirding." It's already so much worse than global warming

Don't be mad at the media. Become the media. ~Jello Biafra

Peanuts on gun sense

Suffer the little children come unto me. Have the border security fetishists stop the corporate inversions

Since 2001, US has launched 94,000 air strikes against 6 countries: AFG, IRQ, PAK, YEM, SOM, LBY. Now SYR

Your tax dollars at work

Ice scream

Be proud that you're a large, even-toed ungulate
