…that Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play: Actually, the Venezuelan people didn’t need no stinkin’ band. They rescued their president from a US-backed coup attempt with no outside help whatsoever, and with him, their democracy. The State Dept. would rather you forgot all about that, no doubt. But I’m

So long, Rick…and thanks for all the wanks.

She was 82. Here is one of her many great, necessary poems that holds up a mirror to her own country: Sleep well, great lady. Blessed be thy name!

Hot on the heels of Trayvon Martin’s murder by an armed white vigilante, we get…this: And this is what THAT was all about: A member of the Ku Klux Klan was arrested in Mount Victory, Ohio over the weekend after he allegedly pulled a gun and threatened to shoot a
Continue readingHard evidence of a racist murder
Many people swear they heard George Zimmerman, the self-styled neighborhood watch captain who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, use the offensive, racist phrase “fucking coons” on the 911 call in which a dispatcher tried and failed to dissuade him from pursuing the victim. Apparently Zimmerman said it under his breath,

Oh, Che. What would you say if you knew how much of this struggle still remains to be fought…and how much ground the good guys have lost since you lost your last fight? Case in point: this professional liar from The Gang That Could Not Shoot Straight. This is what

OMG, look who got arrested earlier today: Yes, that’s George Clooney. The movie star. He’s now free, along with his dad and a group of other prominent activists who were protesting on behalf of the people of Sudan, in front of the Sudanese embassy in Washington, DC. Clooney and the

“It’s hardly a secret that most Afghans are opposed to the occupation of their country. Occupying soldiers are well aware of the fact. The ‘enemy’ is not hidden. It is the public. So wiping out women and children is part of the war. Helicopter gunships, bomber jets and drones are

Don’t you love that ad? I sure do. It’s a timely reminder of just what we’re all up against. Here’s another: ThinkProgress was being a little low-ball on the count there, because I spotted WAY more than just 70 sexist smears coming out of that juddering piehole. Didja notice that

Before we begin, a little mood music: Ah. Thank you so much for that lovely music (and that uncharacteristic truthfulness), Mr. Limbaugh. So, Rush…how’s it feel to be at the bottom of your own shit-avalanche for a change? Fun, eh? Yeah, you really had everybody going there, with your “absurdist”

Via Cubadebate’s Facebook page, some fresh photos that came in just now: Now, who might that healthy, hearty-looking guy be? Surely not the same walking corpse that the lamestream media, on the orders of a crapaganda-peddling putschist private “intelligence” (ha!) outfit known as STRATFOR, have been writing off for dead

Watch this video in its entirety and see if you can find anything about this bright young woman that would justify the Pigman, Rush Limbaugh, in calling her a slut simply for asking that her Catholic university provide birth control pills to female students who need them for medical reasons:

If this is not THE song of the year, I will be severely surprised. Download it and crank it…OFTEN.

I have a terrible confession to make, kiddies: I feel absolutely no pity or sorrow for Stephen Fucking Harper, now that his chickens are finally coming to roost after more than 20 years. Yeah, I know that the man has been our so-called prime minister only since 2006, and with

Here you go. Her entire “debating” style, condensed: Next time Quitbull decides to string her rubes along with another half-assed dabble in campaigning, just pull this one out and use it to distract you from that grating voice. You might even want to invite some buddies and make a drinking

Remember this picture? The lamestream media up here don’t want you to. According to them, this silly poser, who pretended to be a Communist while in China for the Beijing Olympics, is The Man Who Will Beat Hugo Chávez, assuming that the allegedly rampant anti-semitism in Venezuela doesn’t make him

This might also come in handy for the Harper Government™ hacks and apologists lurking here, seeing as you’re all trying to turn us into Yanks Lite with your dirty, smear-mongering politics. BTW, if you want to know where to start for Venezuela, it’s on the LEFT. Pay attention and memorize

Need a good laugh tonight? Here ya go: Mmmmmm, penis cupcakes and vagina macaroons! Yummy! Jezebel calls this “the most hilariously lewd thing you’ll ever see”, and they’re not far from the truth. This hysterical video inadvertently gives away the makers’ own creepy fetishes. Calling Planned Parenthood a pusher of

Looks like Simón Bolívar will have even more company in orbit. In addition to his Bolivian and Ecuadorian counterparts, he’s going to be joined by another Venezuelan satellite, named after another independence hero: The new satellite, “Generalísimo Francisco de Miranda”, represents a great leap for the development of technological independence
