Mittens ‘R’ Us

Posted on June 27, 2018 by camelotkidd

Look Around

Posted on June 20, 2018 by camelotkidd

The US has been at war since 9/11. First Bush, then Obama, now Trump, waging forever war. With all the outrage directed at the Trump Administration’s actions at the border it’s like Americans have developed amnesia about our forever wars … Continue reading →

Is that all there is?

Posted on June 14, 2018 by camelotkidd

The limits of identity politics

Posted on June 7, 2018 by camelotkidd

Making the connection

Posted on May 23, 2018 by camelotkidd

Gina Haspel has been confirmed as America’s new CIA director. Now that we have a torturer in charge of our premier intelligence agency it’s appropriate to make the connection between the economic and foreign policies of the US empire. Neoliberalism … Continue reading →

We the Precariat

Posted on May 12, 2018 by camelotkidd

Here’s an observation from Lambert at Naked Capitalism that perfectly captures the precarious world that’s been created by the advance of neoliberalism. “So, Walmart spends squillions destroying public education, and then pays low wages because people can’t read or … Continue reading →

That’s just the way it is

Posted on May 2, 2018 by camelotkidd

A state turns its lonely eyes to Mittens

Posted on April 26, 2018 by camelotkidd

Mittens wants to be our Senator. Not only that but he’s convinced that we share his enthusiasm. We don’t. However, Mittens does offer a useful representation of our feral elite. Romney is the sort of centrist politician that stands for … Continue reading →

Deeper Malady

Posted on April 5, 2018 by camelotkidd
