Marvin Gaye’s “Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holler)”

One of the most beautiful songs ever written about the suffering and class complaints of the working class in America during the Vietnam War. My favorite picture in this montage is the protester holding the sign: “No Vietnamese Ever Called Me A Nigger.” That’s a profound statement.
As an American, living in the times I live [...]

Give Me Candy, Fidel!

In this crude anti-Communist propaganda piece, the Communist shows the children that Jesus can’t bring them candy, but Fidel Castro can! Boy those Communists are evil! And stupid! Good thing we’d never fall for that! Because we all know that Ronald Reagan and Jesus can give us all the candy in the world!

Try not to [...]

Michael Parenti on Bullshit! with Penn and Teller

Penn and Teller are libertarians. I usually don’t agree with  much of  their analysis.
I used to get Showtime and would watch this show in horror.
But this year they decided to do a show on the  free Tibet movement, and their guest expert on the issue was none other than Michael Parenti, the political scientist, historian, [...]

Rainbow London Mayor’s Debate
This is a cross between the BBC’s ‘newsnight’ and the old childrens tv show ‘Rainbow’.
The puppet with Ken Livingstone’s voice is extremely similar.

Livorno 1- 4 Ac Milan

As I said last week, I will be posting results for AS Livorno, a left wing club in Italy. The town of Livorno is the birthplace of the Italian communist party.
Sadly, Livorno lost 4-1 to AC Milan today, leaving them bottom of the league, 3 points away from safety with only 3 games left in [...]

Scottish oil strikes

As we reported previously, a strike seems to be on the cards at an oil refinery in Scotland. The dispute is over the rights of new employees to the current pension system.
True to form, the Times of London reported news of the possible strike in the business section, once again proving that natural resources mean [...]

Funding the student right in Venezuela

I’m not going to give my own commentary on this one, my friend at borev.net says it all

Those oddball free marketeers from the Cato Institute just made a funny mistake and offered a “freedom” prize to a 23-year-old Serbian-trained Marigold Revolutionary Venezuelan adolescent, simultaneously violating their own non-interventionist policies, undermining a proud six-year tradition of [...]

Reverend Wright is a great man! Listen to the full context of the sermon!

Let’s not throw mud at this man.
The truth is he speaks the truth in the prophetic tradition we find the Bible. Rightly he is named Jeremiah.
I don’t know much about a personal God, but I do know that some religious leaders call us to a higher moral standard. A few believe in that the poor [...]

Why the US is totally screwed!

Ben Stein is an intelligent man (albeit a right-wing fool). He has undergraduate degree from Columbia in Economics and a law degree from Yale. So you’d think that he’d have an enlightened view on many subjects.
Remember, I said he was a right-wing fool.
And that means he has decided to waste his intellect and break all [...]
