Far East Cynic

It all comes down to today.

And don’t kid yourself sports fans-the entire world is watching the US election. One of the things that has always amazed me now-through 11 years of living overseas, is how much of the rest of the world watches and gets swept up in the madness that is American electoral politics.

Voting is the best revenge.

John Hinderaker and the rest of the contemptible cocksuckers  members of the Liars Club, are all up in arms over an offhand remark that Obama made in a stump speech a day ago. In a speech Obama mentioned his opponents and the crowd quite understandably began to boo-and Obama said, "No,

Mired in the swamp of unimportant things-forgetting the major turnoff we took to get here.

I've not felt much like posting these last few days-and tonight an incident occurred that crystallized for me why. I won't go into the details-except it brought home to me how truly polarized our populace is-and how ignorant as a whole it has become. It started with a post from

Chick Fil A is gay!

Some of the best common sense writing on the whole Chick Fil A controversy, has been authored by my Canadian counterpart in a couple of really great posts. As I noted previously in my own post-" I think this whole outrage over the remarks of Chick Fil A's president is

Lie back-and think of England…….

You Godless harlots. John Cole has hit on the latest example of just how stupid a certain segment of America really is:   Here is the Republican Governor of PA sharing some advice with women who will be forced to have an unnecessary ultrasound before having an abortion: Gov. Tom Corbett

Dog whistles, rational thought, and Fox News.

Also known as why Juan Williams may be in fear for his job again. I have a special place for him-NPR was wrong to fire him and I wouldn't be surprised if Fox now did the same. At least he is not allowing himself to be intimidated: The language of

Unwilling or unable……

To understand the root causes of the Occupy Wall Street protests-or why, no matter how much pepper spray or billy clubs you use-the genie may not go quietly back into the bottle. That’s not to say that the OWS movement does not have its problems-and it seems clear to me
