Talking Points Don’t Always Work Sudhama Ranganathan 2010-10-21 10:14 AM

Recently we have had a wave of politicians who’ve seemed to be more talking points driven than anything else. It’s an election year, so, yes, they’re all sticking to their talking points and there is nothing new about that. But, when there are candidates who have memorized their talking points and a few sentences related to the talking points, yet don’t seem to know anything about those talking points it does give one pause. If they are capable of no more than repeating some memorized phrases, then what is it they really believe in? Why are they running? (image/jpeg)

Don’t Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It’s Raining Sudhama Ranganathan 2010-10-06 2:40 PM

For months now we’ve been hearing about the coming revolution. Maybe, more like just over a year. At first we didn’t believe anything about it. We thought it would pass - most of us anyway. For those of us pacing around, worried about where the money to pay the bills would come from, catching a bus to wherever to follow a script written up by… well, nobody knew who at the time, really didn’t seem practical.

.PDF Docs Detail FBI's Chilling Abuse Of MKE CWs & others including Pittsburgh and Ithaca marco 2010-09-25 1:04 AM

My earliest analysis at first read is that Milwaukee Intelligence people cobbled together a flimsy case of suspected terrorism based on the defacement of USAREC's front windows to then widen their case over to Pittsburgh Catholic Workers and Miami activists where there wasn't even a semblence of a law being broken is absolute bull-crap and just generally bad form.

Blame Yourselves -Get Out and Get Motivated Sudhama Ranganathan 2010-01-29 1:34 PM

We learned with the election of Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown a great deal about who Republicans are as a party today. They have multiple voices from varying sectors of their party not always agreeing on principles, but standing together in Congress. They have successfully aligned themselves with the heavily funded Tea Party. They are whipping up populist support and benefiting from everything in the churn. They are determined to put themselves back in the picture that much is clear. (image/jpeg + 1 comment)
