At Veep Debate Mike Pence Emerges as the Ted Bundy of Politics

At Veep Debate Mike Pence Emerges as the Ted Bundy of Politics

In the echo-sphere of political punditry consensus forms rapidly, gels, and then, in short order...calcifies. The me-tooism infecting the chattering class reveals all too well how little original thought — and even less deep — drives the conversation.

Jill Stein’s Ridiculous Run

I share many of Green Party Presidential Nominee Jill Stein's values.

Humankind is now threatened by the simultaneous implosion, explosion, incineration, courtroom contempt and drowning of its most lethal industry. The nuclear one. We know only two things for certain: worse nuclear disasters are yet to come, and those in charge are lying about it---at least to the extent of sharing what they actually know, which is nowhere near enough. … [Read more...]

Transition Voice to become industry mouthpiece

In a move that stunned media and energy industry observers, Transtion Voice, the upstart Web rag that emerged last year to cover peak oil, climate change and the Transition movement, announced today that it would shift its focus to cheerleading for Big Oil, Big Coal, and Big Nuclear instead. "There's not a lot of money to be made in telling the story of energy decline, … [Read more...]
