Are we sane?

It's a hell of a problem for a nuclear power....


Matt Taibbi on The Great Derangement

I've appreciated Matt Taibbi's work since I found this column he wrote for New York Press in September 2003, discussing how the Iraq Coalition Provisional Authority had hired a figure from the Russian economic "shock therapy" period. At the time, the same thing, something they called "rapid privatization," was on the table for Iraq. Lot's of detail was archived HERE, due to a proposed U.S.-Iraq "business conference" then planned at the University of Maine.

H/T to Jazz from Hell for the video. I'll go along with Taibbi "is the best American journalism has to offer."

I think I just realized what the problem is with this blog. IT'S TOO EARNEST AND FORTHRIGHT. America just can't deal with issues that way any more. You can't make an argument like, "Let's not deal with this situation by using war and killing," without a pile-on by reactionary wingnuttia and virtually complete silence from everyone else. It's damned frustrating. COME ON PEOPLE! WAKE UP!!
