C’mon Americans, the Fed dropped its rate to .25%! Let’s all ogle the stock market while it wanks off to this latest move that’s sure to be as awesomely effective as every other adorable widdle wate cut.

Good ol’ America. Land of the free, best country in the world, everyone wishes they were us.
The thing I like most about America is our restrained consumerism.
A Wal-Mart worker died after being trampled when hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors of a Long Island store Friday morning, police and witnesses said.

It’s happening! It’s happening! And on the weekend of our greatest deals on HDTVs, too!
That’s right, Al-Qaeda, the pseudo-fictional loosely organized Arabic cabal of Cobra Commander fanboys is finally attacking America again!

The FBI has warned New York area law enforcement of a “plausible but unsubstantiated” al Qaeda suicide [...]

So George Bush wants to tell all:
“I want people to know what it’s like to make some of the decisions I had to make. What was the moment like. I’ve had one of these presidencies where I had to make some tough calls,” said Bush, who has a record low popularity in opinion polls.
Well, folks, [...]

You know who I won’t shed a single damn tear for? The electric-car-squashing American auto industry. These are the same people who buried their inexpensive, reliable plug-ins once it became clear people actually *wanted* them (and thus the reduced need for marked-up dealer maintenance that comes with dumping the fragile combustion engine).

So the prez-to-be met with a real modern day war criminal, by which I mean President Bush.
I remember feeling so amazed that Stephen Colbert had the guts back in 2006 to actually call Bush out as the disaster that he is right to his face when no one else had done it to [...]

Google removed us because someone had hacked PAB and posted embedded porn links in the code. Booo. Links removed, re-indexing requested, we’ll see how it goes.
When Google doesn’t acknowledge you on the web, it’s like you don’t exist. That kind of power is scary.
I’ve now updated to the super-latest for everything Wordpress-related, [...]

Community organizer. That was somehow turned into a slur against Obama by the Rudy Giulianis of the world. Now comes rabid paranoia over the Obama plan to make community service part of education curriculum. Unsurprisingly, they even drop the S word:
“Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, [...]

Ahmadinejad breaks new ground after Obama’s win:
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has offered his congratulations to Barack Obama on his presidential win.
It is the first official message of goodwill presented to an American leader by the Islamic Republic.
Now, obviously this is a complex situation and I have no love for the philosophy of Iran’s theocracy. [...]

It seems the Republicans are going online to solve their strategy woes:
Republicans, Duncan said, “are going to take a deep breath and listen to the American people.” The party is creating a new online forum that will allow people to explain “how we let them down” and “what we can do to restore confidence in [...]

My dear friend Quin and I have had some heated off-line discussions the last few weeks about politics, human nature, imperialism, and this whole mess we call the world. And when I say heated, I mean I have sometimes been sent into a blinding rage over what I consider his flawed view of how [...]
