The Disgusting MSNBC Republican Debates

This was actually painful to watch. The whole debate was so obviously biased towards Romney, McCain, to to an extent Rudy. It took these fuckups 20 minutes until they asked Ron Paul a question, and there's only five candidates. Look at the breakdown below of how much time each candidate got to speak according to NBC's Laura Appelbaum:

Total Times
Romney: 21:11, during 13 times
McCain: 16:00, during 13 times
Giuliani: 13:50, during 11 times
Huckabee: 12:11, during nine times
Paul: 6:31, during six times

There's obviously a media blackout on Ron Paul, not that it really surprises me. But hopefully people can see through all the bullshit that the MSM has blinded us with and at least try to hear what he's trying to say.

Up yours, America!

GASP! Bush Co. are a bunch of liars? I wish I would have known sooner...

Rudy Giuliani: Total Asshole

We all know Rudy Giuliani is an asshole. Even people who like him say he's an asshole. And this isn't to say that an asshole can't be elected president. But, when you're basically called out for being an asshole on the front page of your hometown newspaper? I mean, come on! You're a total asshole.

Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com totally destroys our Democrat controlled Congress.

Fred Thompson Drops Out Of The Race

Looks like Snoozy Thompson is finally out of the race. Just in time too. Now he can get back to lounging around in his pj's and watching reruns of himself on tv.
At this rate we should be getting rid of Guiliani soon, leaving only four: McCain, Romney, Huckabee, and Ron Paul. Looks like the Ron Paul revolution is harder to stop than the main stream media had hoped.

Ouch! Democratic Debate Gets Nasty

Its about time if you ask me. The only problem here is this. Hillary is so obviously using a page out of the ol' Karl Rove book and Obama can't just break the whole "I'm not going to run that kind of campaign" thing. He should have been ready with a list of the ten most fucked up things that the Clintons have pulled and laid it down in one massive blow. But, of course he did no such thing. Though he did manage to get a jab in about Hillary being "a corporate lawyer on the board at Walmart", which was funny. And the only one who came out looking "good" was Edwards...and by "good" I mean not as ridiculous as Obama and Hillary. Check it out....from Raw Story:

Surge to Nowhere: WP's Andrew J. Bacevich

The Washington Post's Andrew J. Bacevich tells us to "Look beyond the spin, the wishful thinking, the intellectual bullying and the myth-making..." of the surge's portrayal in the media. Not that it should surprise you, but this real reporter's analysis will chill your victory party: Surge to Nowhere.

Tip of the Hat: Only Sayin'

If you want to escape the feverish pace of the election horse race and take a little time to sit and read some funny, thoughtful, and well-written commentary on our American Culture, look no further than Only Sayin'. Our Cowardice-Based Foreign Policy is an essay tackling just that in which Powder Monkey begins to sketch some intriguing ideas about American Imperialism. Also, Republicans Are Chickens is an open letter to Senator Obama begging him to cut to the chase. Finally, digging into the archives, I know George Bush shows us that we ALL know George Bush, and we hate that sonofabitch.

I'm still making my way through the archives when I have the time and brainpower, but it's definitely worth your time to check some of these pieces out.

Thanks to everyone at Only Sayin' for doing your thing.

Remembering A Great American Patriot: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I hope we can all take a little bit of time and remember the greatness of this man. King's words need to be heard more today than ever. Here he is on war and the arrogance of American Imperialism.


If you have 23 minutes to listen to a clip then I highly suggest listening to this speech by Dr. Martin Luther King. He is giving a speech on the war in vietnam. This speech rings so true today that it is almost eerie. This man was a true prophet.

Nevada Caucus Votes Are In: Clinton, Romney Win and Ron Paul Takes Second Place

CNN has the results.

Shhhh, the mainstream media is trying to be quiet about Ron Paul's second place finish.
Wouldn't want anyone to know about that would we?

Also, Edwards pulls in a horrible 4%.

Crinch Pin's Late Night Music Club with Voivod

I started listening to this Montreal band when I was about 13. And man, these guys stand the test of time. This is the old school Voivod, not the new "Jason Newsted from Metallica" version.
Voivod covers Pink Floyd's Astronomy Domine in this one.
Check it out...and remember, this is from 1989.

MSNBC Hack David Shuster Calls Ron Paul "The Al Qaeda Wing of the Republican Party"

David Shuster, appearing on Morning Joe on MSNBC, decided to continue on with Chris Matthews insane diatribe from his visit to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Matthews was comparing different GOP presidential candidates to rivaling tribal factions in Iraq. He said that Huckabee and Thompson are like "the fanatics, the Shia wing", while Rudy Giuliani and John McCain are "the more moderate Sunnis", with Romney as "the Kurd". Ridiculous on its own already, especially the "moderate" McCain and (huge laugh) Rudy Guiliani part, Shuster decides to go one better. He blurts out, "I think it's a great analogy, I mean Ron Paul is the Al Qaeda wing of the Republican party". This smug asshole just grins while saying this and you can see a very uneasy Joe Scarborough immediately after the comment. Check it out.




If this kind of shit pisses you off as much as me, regardless of which candidate it is, then email MSNBC. I did. Here's what I sent em'.

I am completely sickened by the comments of David Shuster on your show about Ron Paul being the "Al Qaeda wing of the Republican Party". This is beyond low and completely uncalled for. This is the kind of crap that gets people canceled. You not only need to apologize to Ron Paul but to all of America for cheapening the politics even more than some of these horrible candidates already do by themselves. This is why people are leaving television "news" for the internet. I liked a lot of what you had to say, Joe, but now just can't even stomach to watch even a clip of your show on You Tube. Sad, really.
Ron Paul is a class act,and that's pretty obvious. Its funny how he chose to compare the peace candidate to a terrorist organization. I guess "War IS Peace", "Freedom IS Slavery", "up IS down" and "Black IS White". Matthews, by the way, sounds like he needs a vacation. He's completely lost it. First, the whole "Life is a campaign" thing, and now this? Whether you like Paul's positions or not, he does not deserve this kind of treatment.

...and you guys know it.

If there's any of the "good" Joe Scarborough left in you, then I'd hope you'd get mad about this too and do something about it. I know I'd be ticked off is somebody tried to soil my show and my name with this kind of obvious transparent hackery.

Bobby Fischer: 1943 - 2008 - RIP

Bobby Fischer was a divisive figure in American culture. With an IQ believed to be above 185, he was considered a "high genius", and there is little doubt that his superior intelligence was both his greatest asset and his mortal enemy.

Fischer was known first as the greatest American chess player, becoming the youngest player ever to achieve the status of International Grandmaster at age 15. Renown for showing his opponents no quarter, he would literally crush them on the chess board with his devastating style and utterly original strategies. He eventually ascended to World Champion after several hard fought defeats, yet Fischer's national fame came during the height of the Cold War while defending his crown against the Soviet champion Borris Spassky in 1972. The press and the public saw this chess match as a proxy for the international political issues of the time, and Fischer's decisive victory rocketed him and the game of chess to stardom in the US.

In 1975, Fischer refused to defend his championship against Anatoly Karpov because they could not agree on the logistics of the match, about which Fischer had many bizarre requests. He lost his crown by default, and basically disappeared from competitive chess for the next 20 years.
He would only emerge to make incongruous and racist public remarks, and in 1992, to play a rematch against Spassky in the former Yugoslavia. The US Department of Treasury warned Fischer his participation in the event (namely the collection of the winnings) would put him in contention with a UN Embargo against sporting events in that country. Fischer won the match, and then promptly disappeared again to avoid prosecution. Since then he accepted political asylum in Iceland, renouncing his US citizenship.

Throughout his life, people close to Fischer witnessed a man slowly devouring himself. His public life and behavior became more and more bizarre culminating in a lashing out at Jews and comments that America "got what they deserved" after 9/11. His anger, paranoia, and vitriol for his fans, opponents, and his country never ceased. I hope in death, he finally finds peace. RIP.
