The Message Machines.
The mass media are essentially huge message machines. Advertisers flock to them to hawk their wares and people watch the ads on TV, listen to them on radio or read them in their newspapers and then go out in sufficient numbers and buy the stuff. The key function of the media however should be to...

Republican "Mind Control" of Americans.
Let me say at the outset that virtually any and all entities who have something to sell practice a form of "mind control." I mean advertisers do it when they are trying to sell you soap or toothpaste of frozen foods. They want you to think that their product is the solution for your problems or...

Bush & the GOP: Deceit, distraction and depravity.
Deceit, distraction and depravity are the stock in trade of Bush and the Republican party. Moral turpitude is to them a way of life. Every moral and even legal stricture is subordinated to the prevailing principle which is: Win at any cost! So deceit about who will get the lion's share of tax cuts...

Bush & the GOP scam America.
A scam is a swindle, a fraud or a dishonest dealing of some kind. Considering how many scams President Bush and his Republican Congress have pulled and are about to pull on an unsuspecting and oblivious American public you would think that the mass media might give us a warning. But the media has...

The latest lies from the Bush administration.
Since the economy and the war in Iraq have been receiving unfavorable press for the past few weeks and since the Democratic candidates for President have been slamming Bush and his administration heavily about these items in their TV debates, it is clear that Bush needed to do something about it....

Why "no bid" contracts for Iraq is a metaphor.
Most people and all sane people, I believe, would agree that the sinking of the Titanic was a disaster. Thousands of lives were lost, thousands more suffered great trauma and a very expensive asset sunk to the bottom of the sea. Yet today, as the Bush administration deceives, fumbles and bungles its...

How many more victories can we afford?
Afghanistan was a "victory" for President Bush and his circle of neo-conservative advisors. Iraq was another "victory" for the same bunch. Currently these victories have cost the USA hundreds of the lives of our young soldiers and hundreds of billions of dollars. In addition, Afghanistan is costing...

Making the CIA the "fall guy" for Bush's lie.
Manipulation and control of American public opinion is the primary job of any US political party. Clearly, George W. Bush & the Republicans have done this far better than any of their adversaries over the last few years. They convinced a nation that they won the presidential election, even though...

Smoke and mirrors for the masses.
As George W. Bush recently alighted onto the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in a pilot's flightsuit to the tumultuous cheers of the sailors and other service people who had been ordered to receive him, it appeared that he was a hero returning from a combat mission. Of course, nothing could be...
