I was at the supermarket today and after picking up my groceries and prescriptions I stopped to grab a copy of the excellent Hippo Press. Next to the stack of Hippos I noticed another free paper, this one with a large, grainy tabloid-style picture of Maggie Hassan on the cover with the text EXPOSED! Maggie’s [...]

Ron Paul’s misguided media anger
Ron Paul is doing a lousy job of handling the spotlight into the racist writings of his old newsletters. By walking off the set of CNN he made a molehill into a mountain. Paul needs to understand that you can’t run for President and then try to control the media by telling them what they [...]

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner R Wisconsin is getting the biggest press coverage of his life. He’s on the front page of the Drudge Report, Huffington Post and, basically, everywhere else.

Sean Hannity calling President Obama on Fox News Channel a “socialist” every night in prime time on the Fox News Chanel is only the visible tip of the conservative propaganda iceberg.

Once again The Fates have come our way to provide a story, and once again, we have a contender for the “Ironic Story Of The Year”. It’s got everything you need for serious irony: an irascible comedian who mocked religion at every opportunity, a city that loved him, and the rich coincidence of his having [...]
“A Counterintelligence and Black Ops Office”
Firedoglake has a speculative piece that also has more than one shocking assertion. Most notable, the Fox “Brain Room.” http://firedoglake.com/2011/07… But unlike virtually everybody else, because I had to design and build the Brain Room, I knew it also housed a counterintelligence and black ops office. So accessing phone records was easy pie.” That’s a [...]
