I worked hard, then I waited with baited breath for the election returns to start coming in. I watched those election returns as they trickled in that night. Initially, it looked like Kerry was winning, but suddenly everything started to change. By the following morning, I knew we had lost, and likely to election theft. My suspicions have since been confirmed. Robert F.

In a new series, which I just decided to start today called “Idiocracy Watch,” I plan to chronicle stories that expose the fact that the U.S. of A. is still a nation of stupid people who blend anti-intellectualism with racism to create ignorance and intolerance.
Today’s entry comes via Editor & Publisher , which has, since the election, been tracking stories of hate and bigotry related to our country having somehow elected a black man to the presidency. Here are some l... more

Did you get that? Only 2 percent of all muslims in America voted for John McCain - guess my vote for McCain was just justified once more! This poll is published over at C.A.I.R.’s website, which I refuse to link to here at Holger Awakens, so I will post the entire article at the bottom of this thread. But here’s a bit of the data:

Dispatches from My Bed
Due to temporary difficulties with up my cable and Wi Fi, as well as a temporary physical limitation, I’ve had a lot of time to stare at the ceiling and think over the last 10 days or so. I scribbled down some thoughts, and my take on the advice and analysis I was able to get a hold of. Today I was able to type them out and divide them into two simple categories.
At times while writing this, I felt like a master of the obvious, ... more

Often referred to as "Trickle-down economics", Reaganomics basically sought to enrich the wealthy. Under the [mis-guided] assumption that those tax-favored wealthy interests, would in turn, create business, jobs, and opportunity, for the rest of us -- those members of society, not fortunate enough to live among the rich or famous.
