Indeed, the dirty secret of world hunger is that the creation of a grain surplus is no solution. There is plenty of food on earth, more than double that needed to feed all 6.5 billion of us.4 The problem is not food availability, but price. People starve when the daily pay check doesn’t cover the daily bread.

Da south... just because

Da South

Why is it the south was so easily pacified? I mean look at the world. Most people in the world get really angry and revolt when their land is occupied. The US has been occupying the south for a century and not a peep out of you. Well Wallace tried to stir things up I guess.

But seriously. The US beat you in a war and laid down the law and I must say I've never seen any people on the planet take it as well as you southerners do.

If only people all around the world could be pacified as easily as the Confederates!

Good Riddance, Aughts!

Dear Aughts (00 – 09),

Wow, what a decade. Way to suck far more than not…

Way to lose nearly 10,000 Americans needlessly from a manufactured war (Iraq), a submerged city (New Orleans), and a possibly preventable terrorist act (9/11).

*But on the bright side, most of those Americans who died weren’t wealthy.

Way to systematically tighten the governmental grip on our freedoms; like talking on a phone and being illegally listened to, or protesting the lies of a president and landing on a “watch list”, or voting in an election and then having a hand-picked court step in to decide the outcome anyway.

*But hey, at least we’re doing all we can to keep the government from aiding us with our health.

Way to take the country’s media and turn it into one giant, biased, money-making scheme.

*Were it not for comedians like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert speaking truth to power, we may have zero straight-forward bullshit detectors left.

Way to stay out of the violent quagmire that is Iraq / Iran / Afghanistan / Yemen, and the rest of what is the craziest, most unstable region on the planet.

*It’s not like there were consequences the last time we fucked around in the Middle East, back in the 80’s under Reagan.

Seriously aughts, WTF?! Many Americans were less upset by election fraud, Wall-street greed, and war-profiteering, than they were about Janet Jackson’s exposed booby!

*But again, on the bright side, we do now have Snuggies, 600 cable channels, and Twitter.

So now that your time is up, will you please disappear forever? Honestly, we’d rather have to stare at Ann Coulter’s adam’s apple than have to spend any more time with you.

Now go. And take your Florida recounts, and your Jon & Kate’s, and your Bluetooths, and your bin-Ladens, and your Viagra, and your baconaisse, and your regime-change, and your Jersey Shore, and your Arena Football, and your Enron, and your Transformers with you!!!!!

Go, we say…

Top Ten Worst Things about the Bush Decade;
Or, the Rise of the New Oligarchs

By spring of 2000, Texas governor George W. Bush was wrapping up the Republican nomination for president, and he went on to dominate the rest of the decade. If Dickens proclaimed of the 1790s revolutionary era in France that it was the best of times and the worst of times, the reactionary Bush era was just the worst of times. I declare it the decade of the American oligarchs. Just as the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union allowed the emergence of a class of lawless 'Oligarchs' in Russia, so Neoliberal tax policies and deregulation produced American equivalents. (For more on the analogy, see Michael Hudson.) We have always had robber barons in American politics, but the Neoliberal moment created a new social class. At about 1.3 million adults, it is not too large to have some cohesive interests, and its corporations, lobbyists, and other institutions allow it to intervene systematically in politics. It owns 45 percent of the privately held wealth and is heading toward 50, i.e. toward a Banana Republic.

The List
