NotesWhenever I hear the term “bleeding-heart liberal,” all I hear is, “you give a shit about your fellow human beings, and I want you to be ashamed of that.”

Notes 90% of American Media Is Owned by 6 Companies.In the early 1980s ninety percent of American media was owned by 50 companies. Today, in 2011, that same ninety percent of broadcast influence is owned by just six companies.
In other words, 232 media executives more or less control “the information diet of 277 million Americans,” according to the graphic.

This is no more rational than any other explanation…
Hello again, Meg from 2011.
Just a reminder — in 2011, Rep. John Boehner said the GOP received 98% of what they wanted in the deal that hath wrought the sequester.
Don’t back down now, boys. Own it. This is even more accurate than when I posted it July 27, 2011. I got hate mail for this post. It’s nearly two years later, and screw y’all that sent “love” letters because I was right.
Hey, why fix shit and pass a compromise to revoke the sequester when you can filibuster said compromise and give press conferences in front of podiums labeled with the oh-so-clever “#Obamaquester”?
Why do any of that when you can watch the world burn, matches in hand, and try to blame it on the president? Operative word there is “try” — the Congressional GOP is comprised of little more than petty economic terrorists.

Notes Paul Ryan's favorite band writes scathing op-ed against himToday, Tom Morello is my boyfriend:
Ryan claims that he likes Rage’s sound, but not the lyrics. Well, I don’t care for Paul Ryan’s sound or his lyrics. He can like whatever bands he wants, but his guiding vision of shifting revenue more radically to the one percent is antithetical to the message of Rage.
I wonder what Ryan’s favorite Rage song is? Is it the one where we condemn the genocide of Native Americans? The one lambasting American imperialism? Our cover of “Fuck the Police”? Or is it the one where we call on the people to seize the means of production? So many excellent choices to jam out to at Young Republican meetings!
Don’t mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta “rage” in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he’s not raging against is the privileged elite he’s groveling in front of for campaign contributions.

There’s a lot more wisdom in this than is apparent at first glance.

Notes"Republicans approve of the American farmer — but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home — but not for housing. They are strong for labor — but they are stronger for restricting labor’s rights. They favor minimum wage — the smaller the minimum wage, the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all — but they won’t spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine — for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing — but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think American standard of living is a fine thing — so long as it doesn’t spread to all the people. And they admire the Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it."Harry S. Truman (via cognitivedissonance)

Rolling Stone debunks GOP voter fraud myths
Most instances cited by Republicans are clerical errors, shoddy reporting, wildly exaggerated/misrepresented, or not fraud at all.
Don’t show me that one time that one guy did that one thing. Show me the election that was thrown — or was even close to being thrown — by fraud.
Until you can do that, you get to shut up about how essential voter ID and voter roll purges are for America. -
