I have a hard time imagining Mitt Romney being anywhere near Donald Trump without spontaneously combusting, but hey! If he wants to be our von Ribbentrop he’d probably be a lot nicer than Giuliani or John Bolton. History sometimes rhymes and “Binders Full of Women Blues” from the archives does too. Yes, now one of […]

A small detachment of the White Gun Bully of America Army has started the rebellion and asks for your help in continuing the war against tyranny in the outback of Oregon. Grab your AR-15s and ammo, your Don’t Tread on Me yellow flags, jump in your truck and help fan the spark seen round the […]

Gun nut, sexual athlete and ex-antivirus mogul John McAfee just went full electromagnetic pulse crazy. I suppose it had to happen although on the scale of all things McAfee, it’s not very original. In a recent syndicated column (yes, someone gave him one), McAfee parrots what the extreme kook right and survivalists/preppers have been going […]
And it will be done with an electromagnetic pulse attack as a consequence of same-sex marriage and abortions. “What is going on with America?!” rails Jim Bakker. Yes, him. It’s an idea, a wish for an apocalyptic trial of purification, that’s been bubbling up from the base of the Republican Party and extreme right for […]
What’s left to say? Drink THE FIRST TIME: Anyone mentions Hitler, Nazis or Neville Chamberlain. Includes related imagery, e.g. “ovens.” The crowd cheers a racist/bigoted statement by a candidate. — more, from the Rolling Stone Guide to drinking during the GOP debate “After the final agreement with Iran over its nuclear program was announced in […]

No self-recognition. (And couldn’t help taking the, uh, easy shot with the title.) Excerpts from an Alaska newspaper: “It’s an effort to show the public that we are different, and that we’re trying to change the public perception of what militia groups and survival groups and prepper groups are,??? Luntz said. Some of the people […]
The character of America’s Cult of Electromagnetic Pulse is rock solid kook-ism from the far right. It’s mainstream, an industry as well as a grifter’s paradise. There is good money to be made provisioning it: Advice pamphlets, rotten fiction and non-fiction books, emergency tools, concrete, cinder blocks, fuel, barriers of all types, entrenching shovels that […]

The American fringe is regularly mainstream. It’s one of many very noticeable national character flaws, not a virtue, since the fringe, when referred to here, is all the property of the political right. Viral, ugh, attention has been given to a handful of America’s estimated three million “Doomsday Preppers” through publicity granted to photographer Henry […]
It’s what the Republican Party will be counting on in 2016. As it did in all of the last elections. The fringe crazy is a mainstream power and there’s no arguing with it. All across the fractured country, in state legislatures controlled by the radical Republican core, they continue to pile up and pass legislation […]

Hat tip to Steve Aftergood for pointing out the latest and most pathetic accomplishment of the Cult of Electromagnetic Pulse Crazy, aka the House Congressional EMP Caucus. (Which was a name the mainstream media could use to get around having to explain that they were, well, electromagnetic pulse crazies.) Yesterday it was responsible for passing […]
