The Common, Repeated, Everyday Use of Fear in America

It's gotten old.

Really old.

We should be smarter than to let anyone do this to us.

Happy Hallowe'en

ala' the Right Wing and Faux "News"

Quote of the day

"Fear is the mind killer."

--Frank Herbert, "Dune"

Operating on fear

Quote of the day

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -­ kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervour -­ with the cry of grave national emergency. Always, there has been some terrible evil at home, or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it." --General Douglas MacArthur

Nothing but good news

Here you are, your weekend good news--it looks like the "Tea Party" maybe just about over:

"...a CNN poll released last week found that the percentage of the public viewing the Tea Party unfavorably had increased to 47 percent, from 26 percent in January 2010. Thirty-two percent have a favorable view."


You're welcome.






Enjoy your weekend, y'all.

And now because we shouldn't be so serious all the time

As I said, enjoy your Sunday, everyone.
