Romance of Victory: Bankers are All the Same
http://romanceofvictory.blogspot.com/2012/08/bankers-are-all-same.html
Bankers are All the Same. No one, to my knowledge, has remarked that the modern rhetoric about "capitalists" and "one-percenters" and "monopolists" and "big money" is remarkably similar to Medieval denunciations of the Jews - and for the same reason: people with the money inspire resentment, justified or unjustified. Even if it was after all a bit less destructive (except, you know, in Oakland, where they managed to shut down the port briefly). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Fred on Iranian Hostage Taking | An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
https://olbroad.wordpress.com/2007/06/07/fred-on-iranian-hostage-taking
An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings. June 7, 2007. Fred on Iranian Hostage Taking. 8212; olbroad @ 9:47. When Iran abducted 15 British citizens from Iraqi waters in March, the world knew about it. The regime used the hostages for their own underhanded propaganda purposes, but they were at least released. Last week, President Bush called for the release of Americans that almost no one knows are being held hostage in Iran. A fifth American, in Iran on business, has disappeared entirely. Most think he is also bein...

I Think Ann Is Angry Too | An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
https://olbroad.wordpress.com/2007/06/06/i-think-ann-is-angry-too
An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings. June 6, 2007. I Think Ann Is Angry Too. 8212; olbroad @ 11:35. Bush’s America: Roach Motel. Republicans’ defense of President Bush’s immigration bill is more enraging than their defense of Harriet Miers. Back then, Bush’s conservative base was accused of being sexist for opposing an unqualified woman’s nomination to the highest court in the land. Now we’re racists for not wanting to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. My word, but that man could drink in those days.

But has anyone ever heard the name Martin Morales Zempoaltecatl? Did he have children who will never see their daddy again? One thing I did discov...

PolitiFact Bias: October 2014
http://www.politifactbias.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Update on Florida, shark attacks and voter fraud. Back in 2012, PolitiFact Florida created a hilariously unbalanced fact check. Of the claim that shark attacks are more common than cases of voter fraud in Florida. The key to the fact check was PolitiFact Florida's decision to only consider a "case" of voter fraud that was literally a legal. Published a column by the researchers on Oct. 24. They said, in part:. How many non-citizens participate in U.S. elections? 825,000 illegal ...

PolitiFact Bias: December 2014
http://www.politifactbias.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 25, 2014. We thank the excellent blog Legal Insurrection. For making " 2014: Another year, another laughable Lie of the Year. Post of the Day" for Dec. 25, 2014. What a nice present! Lie of the Year 2014. William A. Jacobson. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. PolitiFact editor explains the difference between "False" and "Pants on Fire". Why wouldn't that be "Pants on Fire," for example? You know, that's an interesting question. And we totally understand when readers might disagree and say ...

PolitiFact Bias: PolitiFact Wisconsin: The privileged, prominent and wealthy are superheroes
http://www.politifactbias.com/2015/07/politifact-wisconsin-privileged.html
Saturday, July 4, 2015. PolitiFact Wisconsin: The privileged, prominent and wealthy are superheroes. PolitiFact Wisconsin gives us a July 2015 item that helpfully reminds us of PolitiFact's singular ability to take the statements of political figures- especially conservatives- out of context. The item was not a fact check. Cue PolitiFact Wisconsin, which found Walker's story fishy (bold emphasis added):. Founding fathers ordinary people. And while campaigning, he has emphasized. Of course we thought of t...

Rosa Parks Act | An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
https://olbroad.wordpress.com/2007/05/18/rosa-parks-act
An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings. May 18, 2007. Filed under: General News. 8212; olbroad @ 11:45. Rosa Parks Act granting civil rights pardons goes to Tenn. governor. Long after segregation laws were declared unconstitutional, charges have remained on record of many blacks. Lillie Mae Bradford is downright proud of her criminal record, but she wouldn’t mind an official pardon. I have to say, I’m extremely surprised this lady has not been pardoned long before now. But that could change. It damn well SHOULD change!
