Best Baffler story ever: why johnny can't dissent
so true and still true, and reading from these commonts, we're not supposed to dissent anymore. the media is pretty conservative, a hard thing for people to understand. but true
What conservative media !!!!!

If I do not agree with obama then you and yours label me a narrow minded neocon.

If I agree with you then .....no problem.

Yet I'm the one who doesn't no about dissent?

Sounds like the partisan fools have never seen the Baffler but know everything about what is in it. For your information, the Baffler is a non partisan publication that mainly exposes the hypocrisies of the Corporate world. I know you partisan fools can't handle anything outside of your black and white, us against them mentality but hopefully someday you will wake up and see that both parties are screwing us and they only exist to serve the corporate and wealthy.
Yeah right - non partisan like MoveOn.org is supposed to be. Keep believing your own lies

Not to interrupt the corporate boosterism, but this is old news. The New York Observer reported this story over a month ago and my website (literago.org ) posted about it two days later.

Anyone who believes that either party has the best interests of the common person in mind is a sucker.

That is what I love about America! Instead of reasoned debate and free speech, you get a punch in the face.

America, F*ck Yeah!

In any case, of course the conservatives are taking offense. Any writing that points our corporate corruption, greed, incompetence, or malevolence would hit them where they breed.

Daily Horoscope for February 12

Leo

Be proactive today. Do something different: go somewhere new, change your take on life a little. There's no use just sitting back waiting for excitement and adventure to fall into your lap, or be brought to you on a silver platter. Your part of the bargain doesn't have to be monumental... just a walk down a side street you normally ignore could find you discovering a new shop or cafe, or a person of an enthralling demeanor. Stride out and meet life full on.
