Say Goodnight, Gracie.

“although there ain’t much worse you could utter as a Presidential candidate than how much you admire Ronald Wilson Reagan, unless you wish to add a few details to show that admiration is the result of swallowing Reagan hagiographies by the volume, I’m willing to turn the thing around once or twice and see if something useful can’t be made of it”

Dennis Kucinich To Chair Subcommittee Overseeing ONDCP

Rep. Dennis Kucinich has been named chairman of the Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the House Government Reform Committee, giving him jurisdiction over the Drug Czar’s office. Oversight of ONDCP was previously conducted by the non-defunct Criminal Justice, Drug Policy, and Human Resources Subcommittee, chaired by rabid drug warrior Mark Souder.

If Drug Czar John Walters is now wondering what’s in store for him, he might begin by reading what Kucinich has to say about the war on drugs:

‘I have studied the issue for decades and recognize that our “War on Drugs” has failed. In fact, because our War on Drugs drives up the price, it encourages violence. Prohibition simply doesn’t work. It only creates thousands and thousands of Al Capones. Prison should be for people who hurt other people, not themselves. We don’t jail people for merely drinking. We jail people when they drink and drive or hurt another human.’

The Fraud of Bushenomics: They’re Looting the Country

The voodoo economics the Bushies have sold America obscure their systematic fleecing of the nation’s public wealth.

The idea under which Bushenomics was sold is this:

  • The rich are the investor class.
  • If the rich have more money, they will invest more.
  • Their investments will create more business.
  • Those businesses will create more wealth, thus improving everyone’s lives and making the nation stronger. They will also create new and better jobs.

Whether or not the people who say such things truly believe them, I cannot say. But that’s their pitch, and the media certainly seems to buy it, as do most of the establishment economists.

A more realistic — and less idealistic — view of Bushenomics is that the Bush administration and its cronies came at the economy with the attitude of oilmen.

  • They inherited a vastly wealth country.
  • They looked at it like the oil under the Alaskan wilderness. They craved to pump it out, turn it into cash and grab as much of that cash as possible.

Thompson makes speech, MSNBC wonders why

As the VERY early returns were coming in from South Carolina, Fred Thompson decided to make a speech. It had all the undertones of a speech that would announce his dropping out of the race, but in the end – it was just a speech about nothing, leading Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews to wonder what it was all about.
