Er, who is Bob?

the symptom of the universe is written in your eyes

They all use the system that is in place. Get money out of politics, and it’s amazing how many of these issues will be fixed.

I read Freakonomics a while back, and one of the essays was all about whether money matters in politics or not. What he found is that it really doesn’t matter. But then again, it was based on pre-Citizens United data. I’d be curious to see the study again in a couple years.

The “media” is the message, no longer the “medium”, and money mandates the message and media, period. Meaningful no longer applies, especially in “radical”; right OR left, which is also somewhat counter-intuitive.

Michael Wallis here. We have left the Mother Road of America, and have taken the Turn Off to Hades, paved with the gold of ill gotten booty, approved by the Supreme Snort.

You’re one of the few sane minds in this comment column—cheers

Anyone remember “the medium IS the message”?

I found Ted Rall’s “Anti-American Manifesto” a really good read!

Even Stalin was wrong: it’s whose vote counts. After all, only the rich can afford democracy.
