By Pat Buchanan Since 1928, only Dwight Eisenhower and George W. Bush have won the presidency while capturing both houses of Congress for the GOP. In his 49-state landslide, Richard Nixon failed to take either House. In his two landslides, Ronald Reagan won back only the Senate. Yet […]
By Anna Morgenstern The simplest way to put it is that they’re all a bunch of crooks. The bankers are the chief con-men. They print up (so to speak) a bunch of fake money out of thin air. I can do that too, but no one is going […]
Remembering the U.S. president that made George W. Bush look intelligent. By Michael K. Smith He had but the foggiest idea what the policies of his own administration were. When not programmed by his staff he talked nonstop about Hollywood or whiled away the hours watching T.V. Bored […]
By Kevin Carson It’s gradually emerged in recent months that the Food and Drug Administration not only spied on its employees, but did so on a massive scale — collecting tens of thousands of employee emails to one another, as well as to journalists, members of Congress and […]
From the Daily Mail. Silly mare; sillier punishment. Mind you, if the Games got cancelled at the last minute, I wouldn’t complain. Part of me hopes for a repeat of last year’s riots, if only to offset the climate of force-fed positivity surrounding the event. EDIT (27/7/12): The […]
By Morris Berman Strange things are happening in the United States these days, and every day seems to bring additional scary news. The similarity to the erosion of civil liberties in Germany during the 1930s is a bit too close for comfort. Many will regard this statement as […]

By Rick Ungar It’s enough to make even the most ardent Obama cynic scratch his head in confusion. Amidst all the cries of Barack Obama being the most prolific big government spender the nation has ever suffered, Marketwatch is reporting that our president has actually been tighter with a buck than any […]
By Keith Preston Friedrich Nietzsche suggested in the nineteenth century that the crisis of Western civilization generated by modernity’s overthrow of the traditional European order and the loss of faith resulting from the torpedoing of traditional theology by advancements in human knowledge would have repercussions that would […]
By Jim Goad In the wake of Friday morning’s bloodbath at a Colorado movie theater, America struggles to figure out who or what to blame. They’ve obviously ruled out the shooter. James Holmes, 24, will be arraigned in a Colorado courtroom this morning and charged with a spree killing […]
By David Price I started reading Alexander Cockburn during the early 1980s while in college, mining The Evergreen State College library’s back issues of The Village Voice. In the present, it is easy to lose sight of how sharp and unique his early critiques of the media were at the […]
