How to Influence Dumb Pseudo-Patriots

Today I accidentally allowed myself to be drawn into a debate with someone I knew was dumber than me. I don’t mean dumb as in less intelligent—as elsewhere I’ve already debunked the myth of the Western IQ. But I think we should reclaim the word “dumb” from the underprivileged and reapply it to [...]

I love the United States. As an 80’s and 90’s kid growing up in America I was blessed with a number of luxuries, including perhaps the best education system of any country in the world. My American education taught me how to respond sensibly to most real-life situations. Thankfully, we Americans are well-equipped to deal [...]

“What went wrong?” is the question we pretend to ask. But what most of us really mean is: “Whose fault is it?”
Who can we blame?
It’s important to have a scapegoat, preferably a human being or a group of them. Assigning fault is not only a soothing process; it’s also one helluva way to [...]

Let’s be clear about something: putting a flag on your pickup truck is LITERALLY the LEAST you can do to show that you “support our troops.”
The most effective use of propaganda during American wars is to slander those who oppose the war by calling them “unpatriotic.” For the first few years of the U.S. [...]

Before last night I’d never given a second thought to Senator Chris Dodd. Boring and flavorless, the white-haired presidential hopeful had been a non-factor in every debate I’ve watched, a hackysack for the other Democratic candidates to kick around. He was a nonentity, the dull guy from Connecticut whose name I [...]
Bush to “Inspect” Damage… Now that Damage is Done

Today speech writers put the finishing touches on the sermon Bush will give tomorrow in Minneapolis. The President plans to spend this evening memorizing the speech, asking Karl Rove what the big words mean, and hoping his Texas Rangers without Gagne and Texeira won’t be as hopeless as his presidency without Colin Powell and [...]
