Lumpenlogocracy: March 2005
http://lumpenlogocracy.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
A Forum of Culture and Politics. Thursday, March 31, 2005. As a good entry into the conversation. Finally, if you're feeling more Gloomish than Doomish, it's still worth considering what a 'soft landing' might look like. (It sounds kind of nice, doesn't it? How about looking back to a somewhat analogous soft landing, when the US began to come down from the high deficits and real estate boom of the Reagan years? The other is at Macroblog.

A Forum of Culture and Politics. Friday, April 29, 2005. I've been doing some reading of books relating to 9/11, which I can now review briefly for readers of our blog.

The first book is Craig Unger's. House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties. Schor basica...

http://lumpenlogocracy.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
A Forum of Culture and Politics. Monday, February 28, 2005. A piece from TomDispatch about Bush's 'Potemkin World'.

A Forum of Culture and Politics. Saturday, April 09, 2011. In the comments to this NY Times The Caucus. Blog post about the wonderful budget compromise, FF writes:. Wait - I thought compromise meant that each sides gets some of what. They want. So Republicans get nearly $40 billion in spending cuts and. Democrats got. single payer health care? Tax hikes on the rich? Oh yeah, that's right, they got. Nothing, except limiting the scope of the catastrophe. God I'd love to. That seems about right to me.

Lumpenlogocracy: September 2004
http://lumpenlogocracy.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html
A Forum of Culture and Politics. Thursday, September 02, 2004. Ask not what you can do for your country. Even though I had already decided I wasn’t voting for him in November, I watched Dick Cheney address his acolytes last night. Having only read his comments in print before, I was curious to see our vice president speak. But I also wanted to see some of the delegates because at this point, I'm genuinely baffled: what can they be thinking? And "Four more years! I can understand exuberance in response to...

Lumpenlogocracy: March 2003
http://lumpenlogocracy.blogspot.com/2003_03_01_archive.html
A Forum of Culture and Politics. Wednesday, March 12, 2003. Why does the Commander in Chief need a lawyer? But the way he described his work had little to do with laws and a lot more to do with limiting the number of incidents that need to be explained to the American people. Is there any reason Mr. Bush can’t continue to dismiss his critics with the same insouciance after we’ve slaughtered Iraqi civilians? Posted by Ambivalent Maybe at 1:10 AM. Perhaps We Should Ban Marriage Between Christians . The Buf...

Lumpenlogocracy: Mint the Coin or Be Impeached?
http://lumpenlogocracy.blogspot.com/2013/01/mint-coin-or-be-impeached.html
A Forum of Culture and Politics. Saturday, January 12, 2013. Mint the Coin or Be Impeached? I just had a thought, which is a bit too long for twitter, so I'm putting it here: Doesn't the President HAVE to "Mint the Coin"- i.e. the $1t platinum coin, or whatever combination of coins is necessary- in order to prevent default of the U.S. government, if the Republicans in Congress refuse to raise the debt limit? And, if the President won't do it, is that not grounds for his impeachment? The Buffett Rule Rule.

Lumpenlogocracy: May 2005
http://lumpenlogocracy.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
A Forum of Culture and Politics. Friday, May 13, 2005. For those of us who oppose the invasion and occupation of Iraq by the U.S. military, times have been hard. No matter how bad things go on the ground, it seems like no amount of demonstrating or letter-writing has much effect on the truth-deaf Bush administration. On the other hand, what about the courageous actions of war resisters within the U.S. military? His own website is here. It is quite possible that some forms of support might themselves be r...
