Charles Davis wrote the definitive analysis of this mentality last July.

fuck off, I’m voting for Stein
I was going to write an essay on the subject of third-party voting, but I don’t have too much time or patience to waste on debunking fallacies and obfuscations propagated by liars and imbeciles. But in the spirit of Martin Luther and Karl Marx, here are a few theses on the topic: It’s perverse, to …
Götzen-Dämmerung, oder, wie man mit dem Hammer philosophiert
Remember how I said that the gods would return to show their might? As always, my predictions were accurate (and I don’t even have a völva), as Thor is alive and well and dishing out divine justice in Ohio: Also gathered along Union Road were Franklin twins and storm chasers Levi and Seth Walsh, who …

your military arms
So I haven’t been writing anything lately about all the newest crimes of the political class and the moneyed interests, let alone posting any of my poems (I remain quite prolific), as I’ve been trying to finish some projects which I’ll probably reveal here when they are done. But this video was too disturbing to …
futile system
In 2008, I expected a lot of nasty shit to go down after Obama took office. I can’t say, however, that I could have anticipated that it would be the so-called liberals in Congress who would deal the final death blow to the dream of socialized medicine and real healthcare reform. To anyone who supports …
stack overflow
In America, this posting and this blog are the disjointed screeds of violent right-wing extremists. For contrast, here is an example of a serious and cogent contribution to our political discourse: WALLACE: How hard do you think President Obama would be to defeat in 2012? PALIN: It depends on a few things, say he played …
go fuck yourself, Google
OK, so it’s bad enough that Google knows all my private conversations and preferences in pornography (have I told you about my Lutheran deaconess fetish?*). And then there’s this creepy NSA collaboration business. Since when is a surveillance agency in the business of cybersecurity anyway? (Although it’s not really a huge surprise.) And how about …
the year we make contact
So Poetariat has been silent for a while, but I guess Smokehouse is probably working, and I’ve been putting some effort into my own personal projects. When finished, said projects may or may not be the subject of a future post. I also have a variety of subjects I’ve been meaning to write about, but …
oh boy
Here are some interesting news stories I read this morning: RI Gov. Don Carcieri, already known for his authoritarian bent, legalizes police rape (did you know that in areas where prostitution is illegal, a prostitute is more likely to have sex with a police officer than to get arrested by one?) provisions of leaked ACTA …
shit sandwich
OK, so I was going to write another diatribe against the American power elite and their toadies in the media who channel popular resentment into astroturfed poot, but I didn’t want to type that much right now, and also I have priorities, so how about that Prisoner remake, huh? If you’re like me, when you …
