With modern mainstream news being little more than an echo chamber for corporate sponsored propaganda (I would add “and political talking points” but that seems redundant) often the only place to find any truth is in comedy.
What so many people take for granted as “conventional wisdom” (the type of garbage peddled in mainstream media) […]

Alan Grayson is probably the toughest most honest congressman we have today. I think it’s absolutely vital that he wins reelection this fall so that other congressmen get the hint: Stand up strongly for what’s right and the voters will support you.
Watch this excellent new ad from Grayson on protecting public schools from Republican attacks:

If […]

I think this site has really hit the big time because I’m starting to receive some great hate mail! (send yours to prezcan.us@gmail.com)
Each Thursday I plan on featuring the dumbest hate mail of the previous week. I will not reveal the identities of those who send these emails because I believe in protecting the privacy […]

The latest in a long line of right wingers to come out of the closet is Ken Mehlman who was the campaign manager for George W. Bush’s 2004 reelection campaign and a former head of the RNC.
What’s most disheartening about this particular out of the closet Republican is that he was the architect of a […]

You can get a “Turn Off Fox: Bad News For America” bumper sticker for free at colorofchange.org — Hopefully this “Turn Off Fox” movement will build momentum because Fox “News” is the biggest source of right wing propaganda in this country. It’s the main place Americans get false information.

The Republicans manage to keep setting new lows in ridiculousness. Their latest “WTF?! You have to be kidding me!?” attack on the President is that he’s taking too much vacation time.
Seriously.
This is the party of George W. Bush who spent nearly a third of his Presidency on vacation (a total of 977 days.) At […]

A great example of this “blaming it on the black guy” is that according to a recent poll more Americans think the bank bailouts (TARP) happened under President Obama (47%) than think they happened under President Bush (34%)! To be clear, the bank bailouts happened under Bush.
Remember: The economy went to hell in September […]

This nonsense about the so called “Ground Zero Mosque” (it’s actually a “Burlington Coat Factory Community Center” that’s two blocks from the WTC site) is just another example of the right wing propagandists making people talk about what they want them to talk about.
Instead of talking about the Republicans stopping the 9/11 first responders […]

There’s good news for the Democratic Party when comparing June polls to July polls in eight competitive Senate races. In all 8 of of the races where PPP polled in both June and July the prospects for the Democratic candidate looked better in July.
Democratic pick-ups of Republican seats are now looking quite possible in Ohio […]
