Paul Krugman: Ignorance Is Streangth
. . . So why are [Reactionaries] so eager to trash higher education?
It’s not hard to see what’s driving Mr. Santorum’s wing of the party. His specific claim that college attendance undermines faith is, it turns out, false. But he’s right to feel that our higher education system isn’t friendly ground for current [reactionary] ideology. And it’s not just liberal-arts professors: among scientists, self-identified Democrats outnumber self-identified Republicans nine to one.
I guess Mr. Santorum would see this as evidence of a liberal conspiracy. Others might suggest that scientists find it hard to support a party in which denial of climate change has become a political litmus test, and denial of the theory of evolution is well on its way to similar status.
Are the Koch Brothers Funding Rush Limbaugh?
Limbaugh is, fundamentally, a mouthpiece for conservative propaganda. He’s not a researcher. He’s not a grassroots organizer. He’s a mouthpiece. And where would he be without propaganda to spout? He has to get his ideas from somewhere. He can’t feed the right-wing echo chamber that’s hijacking our democracy if someone isn’t feeding him first. That’s where the Kochs come in.
The video we made with Sen. Bernie Sanders reveals the Kochs’ general method, whether Limbaugh is involved or not: fund an army of right-wing organizations so that politicians and pundits know exactly what to say:
Koch Brothers Exposed goes into detail on exactly how this echo chamber works. The reality is that corruption doesn’t happen mainly when a rich guy wangles a quid-pro-quo from a politician in a smoke-filled room. It happens when interests align so that powerful people have an incentive to stick up for each other and keep things just the way they are.
Positive Economic Sign / Reactionaries Starting to Say Obama Wasn’t Born in US Again
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In what some experts are calling a strong indicator of improvement in the economy, Republicans in recent weeks have begun renewing their claims that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
While most economists agree that any significant improvement in the US economy is generally accompanied by an uptick in GOP questions about Mr. Obama’s place of birth, there is now an econometric tool for measuring the increase in those claims: the so-called S & P Birther Index.

The world has a little less hate in it today, and I am as unsympathetic to this bigot’s death as I will be when others of his ilk like Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly, et al meet their maker. Good riddance Breitbart, you bigoted piece of shit!For those of the mindset that think one should not speak ill of the dead it is obvious that I disagree. I do not believe that one who spent a lifetime spewing bigotries should somehow have bestowed upon them a modicum of respect simply because they met their maker. No, the only place one should find sympathy for someone of Breitbart’s character should be in a dictionary, somewhere between shit and syphilis. [MSH]
