A deeply sardonic and racially impaired soul, Spengler is still often interesting, because his challenges present good practice on how to hear the skreee of the right wing rabid bat, but avoid the bite. Things are often partially right, but the presenter or presentation must still be rejected for other reasons.
Here, he explains “us” to “them”! Even though he is talking about “them” as Europeans, his populist explanation hit US elitist themes and I HAD to guffaw, to think he had given them breath.

None of the POTUS or VPOTUS candidates have yet really addressed how the current economic crisis has affected their platforms. Perhaps, it really is too early, but it is disconcerting to recognize once again that the solons we choose sometimes have no better crystal ball than we. (more…)

Economic Bailout
They said they would be working through the weekend. I checked today, Saturday, at 3:00 PM PT. “H.R.2638”, “Making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes”, had passed. No other Nay or Yey votes so far. (more…)

Remember Rwanda?
That small African country from whence recent one of our last genocide movies sprung? The object of Clintonian apologies, and current service? At a population of now, around 70% women, and a country with many struggles still ahead, Rwanda has achieved this:

The USA is currently unable to democratically elect a presidential candidate!
Voting has already begun in places like Virginia, and other states are still trying to register voters, yet we are just getting ready to have our first debate on Friday between McCain and Obama. I turn your attention to this recent article:
