The Republicans are running with Romney and Ryan. After a lame introduction by Clint Eastwood - Romney gave a speech that has been noted for being fairly lacklustre. And what about the presumptive VP nominee Paul Ryan. He seems to be just there for the 1% and tells lies to the rest of us. Read …

Break the coalition
Contrary to the propaganda at the last election, it ain't the spending that is causing the deficits. It is the other side of the ledger. Taxes collected by the Government are failing due to company losses. The recession was caused by money being ripped out of the economy by derivatives gone wrong, the government reaction …
Politics
The need for people to assert their ideas and own the consequences is invested in monumental sculpture as the preservation of memory is the stamp on history. Deep in our inner-child the need to be ahead of others can assert itself, core beliefs lead to a sense of oneness with a tradition of thinking. There …
The US Presidential Election
Obama need do nothing. The Republicans may run out of feet to shoot themselves, but let's hope it does not go downhill from there. It is painful to watch Romney having to discourage a Senator from standing due to the rather radically evil views he has expressed about women. America remains the most significant economic …
Illogical conclusions
The use of austerity has worn thin at least for the probable longevity of George Osborne. In its current form at least. Infrastructure spending by this two faced Government amount to allowing private roads to be built which is certainly going to provide some relief to chronic unemployment and incrementally it may result in economic …

Evil Nonsense
Todd Aitken must go. Rep. Todd Akin, the Republican nominee for Senate in Missouri who is running against Sen. Claire McCaskill, justified his opposition to abortion rights even in case of rape with a claim that victims of “legitimate rape” have unnamed biological defenses that prevent pregnancy. “First of all, from what I understand from …
War talk
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/aug/07/iran-assad-syria-warmongering-us Iran insist, as they tend to, to make an entirely illogical case that because they send some pilgrims to fight with Assad against revolutionary forces which seem to be getting very out of control by a process of assassination of the head of the army, minister of defence and fighting with weapons that do …
Hell bound economy
Understanding the economic crisis is not that easy. How can bankers pay themselves millions in bonuses. How can we pay Mark Zukerberg 16 billion for his website creation, Facebook? We did. That is why he got double just a few weeks ago what is now worth 8 billion dollars - so where did all that …
