Re: Jeffrey Lord’s Gandhi for Capitalists:

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all get together in this country and shut down? With one exception to your article, every single radio should be tuned in to Rush Limbaugh, knowing that Obama has told Republicans they shouldn’t listen to him. Even though millions of Americans don’t listen to him, the point would be made loud and clear that we will disobey the ‘royalty’ at the top. There is no one whom the liberals hate more than Rush. There is nothing that would send a message like 150 million households listening to Rush. Turn up the radio!

There is so much we can do if we get organized. This website is the Albert Einstein Institute for strategic non-violent action.

It has a virtual laundry list of actions citizens can engage in to promote democracy. If you haven’t been to this website — you should. The time has come for us to organize. We need a leader! People are ready to follow. Give us a plan.

YEP, IT’S PRETTY BLEAK ALRIGHT
Re: Tony Marsh’s The Audacity of Cynicism:

The GOP indeed lost 26 or 27 seats in Reagan’s first midterm election, in 1982. But inflation by then had declined to single digits, to about 6 or 8 percent; it was not 13.5 percent. You are correct, however, that unemployment peaked at 10.8 percent earlier that year and the phase-in of the tax cut postponed full recovery.

Well done.

Cynicism?

Not even in Alice’s Wonderland would you find a cynical situation like ours, in which federal law prohibits a shopkeeper from selling tobacco to someone under 18 because of the health risk, yet will soon require a physician to perform abortions on demand.

You have to wonder if that’s the product of the caterpillar’s mushroom-induced thinking, or of whatever he’s smoking in his hookah.

Oh well, maybe someone will wake us up before we lose our heads.
