The GOP’s [i.e., The White-wing’s] Blatant Racism
. . . According to the Agriculture Department, more whites use food stamps than blacks and Latinos combined. By coloring poverty and food insecurity black, even in areas where few black people exist, Republicans hope to spin food stamps as a racial entitlement program, diverting attention from their attempts to balance the budget on the stomachs of the poor. . . But efforts to encourage whites to identify with their race rather than their class, as though the two could be separated and then ranked, is an age-old ploy perfected first by Southern Democrats.

Aphorism: On Classic Literature
By Madison S. Hughes (01.14.2012)
What makes classic literature the greatest of literary masterpiece is its ability to transcend time, and place of composition. What makes one able to appreciate it is one’s ability to transcend one’s contemporary time, and place of comprehension.
Tebowie: Jimmy Fallon’s Ultimate David Bowie/Tim Tebow Mash-Up (VIDEO)
It’s no secret that Jimmy Fallon knows his way around an unexpected musical performance. Between his Jim Morrison singing “Reading Rainbow” bit and his Neil Young covering “Pants on the Ground,” it’s safe to say that he’s got the older-male-solo-artist-plus-hip-pop-culture-topic formula down to an art.
Thursday night’s “Late Night” brought another magical installment in what we hope continues to be a series of performances, this time with Fallon dressed as David Bowie and singing “Space Oddity,” but with some reworked, Tim Tebow-themed lyrics.
The Denver Broncos starting quarterback has madequite a name for himself this season, but most web kids probably know him because of Tebowing.
No matter your sports know-how, though, there’s always room for Fallon with a silver lightning bolt painted on his face as far as we’re concerned.
Bill Moyers: Why I am Returning to the Air (VIDEO)
The lack of civility and common sense that has paralyzed our democracy, the vast economic and social inequality that sends both left and right raging into the streets, the corrosive influence of money in politics – we’re in a tailspin with little hope for a course correction from our elected leadership or corporate-dominated media. The need for voices of reason, simple and eloquent, has rarely been stronger.

Who’s left? The top 20 US progressives
We’ve profile 20 leading American progressives (see list [below]), from a range of backgrounds, who have been at the forefront of efforts to defend not just liberal, but left-wing, social-democratic ideals. Some of them are well-known names; most of them have little to do directly with the Democratic Party; all of them are defiantly and unashamedly partisan.
As Markos Moulitsas, founder of the Daily Kos blog, once said: “I am a progressive. I make no apologies.”
