Wanna really piss a FOX News viewer off? You know you do...

The next time they spout off about how "American" and "patriotic" FOX News is, remind them that its top 2 owners are an AUSSIE and a SAUDI!

(Oh yeah... JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are in the top 10).

Schneider-Man!

DX and I wrote a little ditty about New York's Attorney General, who is investigating Bain Capital, Mitt Romney's firm, for tax fraud.

If you don't know the old Spider-Man show theme song, I found it on the YouTubes so you won't feel so puny.

Schneider-Man!
Schneider-Man!
Does what-ever a Schneider can!
Serves a brief... any size!
Catches thieves... just like flies
Look out!
There goes the Schneider-Man!

Will they fall?
Will they? When?
In the Federal pokey-pen?
They will dodge... they will spend
They will hire fat PR-men
No way!
Here comes the Schneider-Man!

But if Bain is caught
And they're tried for their crimes
The judges they bought
Will arrive just in time!

Schneider-man!
Schneider-man!
Ends up homeless collecting cans!
They'll accuse him of rapes!
They will say he made porno tapes!
Oh well...
Bain will just change their name and
Carry on with their game and
Justice is pay-to-play

Does the GOP need a hologram pep-talk from George S. Patton?

Use at will, folks. Be careful of context...

FB Friends? What is your policy? Can you be friends with people who LIKE the WRONG guy?

This is the question "Being Liberal" is asking on FB. Here is my answer...

I'll talk to them.

Conversations with people who agree with me all the time don't accomplish anything. Liberals tend to lose often because they get fed up and resort to playing the "you're a dipshit, I'm a genius" card. It's tempting, but ends up wasting everyone's time while achieving nothing.

Liberals also tend to lose often because after they get done playing the "you're a dipshit, I'm a genius" card, they skulk back to comfy places where everyone agrees with them, get really sad when the bad guys win, and resume watching "Mad Men" or whatever while seething with resentment and alienation.

Another reason liberals tend to lose a lot is because a lot of people who claim to be liberals are not; spouting the talking points will win you friends and get you laid, but if some social program you were impressing some chick with your outspoken support for comes to your neighborhood, threatening to lower your property value, and you suddenly turn into Douche Lib-baugh, chances are you were a conservative all along and you might be guilty of rape because you lied to get in someone's pants.

I'll talk because there's a lot to talk about, but I am much more interested in having discussions with those hip, disaffected "they're all a bunch of liars" folks. These people are truly frightening. Engaging them is difficult, frustrating, prone to iThing interruptions; I am dismissed more often than I am taken seriously, but I know the stakes and I know that every "meh" is a vote for the GOP -- one small "meh" closer to creating a country I don't want to live in.

Political discussions outside one's comfort zone are crucial now. Learn to spot fanatics quickly so they don't waste your time, because they will try to. Focus on the apathetic. Find something they genuinely care about and share what you know. If you're squishy on the particulars, we still have the Internet for now; we won't if the GOP has their way. Start there.

But for fuck's sake start.
