Random Thoughts on Various Subjects

1. GREECE

I'm having a fun time watching Europe go to shit as they bail out Greece again. Welfare junkies in Greece demonstrate in the streets to loot more cash from German citizens. Germany sees it is the mark in that giant con known as the EU. Italy, Portugal, Spain, and other welfare bum states are right behind Greece. You are witnessing the Welfare Effect on an international level.

Germany will leave the EU. They have to do it. Once Germany leaves, the EU is history along with the euro. European social welfare states do not work.

2. CENK UYGUR

Cenk was very candid about why he is out at MSNBC, and his story is absolutely stunning. It shows just how murky and nasty the MSM is. The MSM is a joke. I expect Cenk to join Olbermann over at Current.

I don't share Cenk's politics, but I give him credit for telling the truth about Obama. The guy is a great journalist. The media needs more people like Cenk who are willing to challenge the Establishment instead of being co-opted by it. Alternative media is where it is at.

3. MURDOCH

The other huge scandal is the phone hacking fiasco over at News Corp. Murdoch and Co. would like you to believe that the practice was just the product of rogues at one subsidiary of a giant media conglomerate. I think the reality is that the practice was spread much wider and will swallow many more including Piers Morgan and Rupert Murdoch himself. Of course, the people riding piggyback on this issue are really doing it to make political hay against right wing media especially Fox News. As a libertarian, I don't care. The MSM both Left and Right needs some daylight. Daylight has come.

4. A PRIMARY CHALLENGE FOR OBAMA?

With cuts to social programs and the wars, progressives are not too happy with their POTUS, and there are quiet rumblings of a primary challenger to Obama. I would love to see this. We haven't had this since Kennedy challenged Carter. This challenger could be Bernie Sanders or some other progressive type with a maverick streak. I wholeheartedly support this move.
