Seismic Activity Detected At Teddy Roosevelt's Tomb

MUCK IS BACK!

Well the 2010 SCOTUS has told Teddy Roosevelt that in 1907 he (and his SCOTUS) didn't understand the Constitution and that they have had to fix his mistakes. Muck is now the law of the land, any and all political corporate muck is legal.

But what the hey, huh? We started down this trail in 1968 with the anti-Great Society laws and rulings. Nixon was just the start. I mean, think about it, the first time your elected officials name a civic center or publicly finance ball park after Delta Airlines or Pepsi Cola you knew we on our way to this did you not?

But we should not really panic should we?

I mean what we are doing is simply returning to the 19th Century practice of Robber Barons meeting in smoke filled back rooms with their wholly owned political operatives and office holders to determine who will be nominated and elected to political office. I mean how bad can that really be. It used to work. Seriously, can we do any worse letting the political system operate in that fashion than we, the electorate have done, say, since 1968?

Was Nixon, or Ford, or Carter, or Regan, or Bush H., or Clinton, or Bush the W. all that great a choice? I mean gee guys, none of them were really worth a shit in the scheme of things and they all were elected by the electorate, the people, and all under some sort of corporate restrictions on campaigning. History is not going to be kind to any of these guys and they were all elected by us the individual voters.

Now really how much worse can the educated elite wealthy interlocking incestuous corporate board members do? As my old mother never said, it is half dozen of one and six of another.

I mean what we really want is someone in the middle. We need a die hard median middle of the roader, a John Spruce Society member even. Those on the margins will have to go whether be they on the right or left, up or down.

I mean, tame will be the mantra of the future. No place for any kind of radical there.

What goes around comes around.

Welcome back to 1906.

Join The John Spruce Society

In a previous post about the Gates arrest I called the conflicts on the money.

As I said in my comments section:
"Since I posted this three days ago, just about everything I said would happen has happened. Am I prescience? No, it comes from three decades as a professional standing in the middle between Blacks and Whites in the academic world and listening to their biased bullshit from both sides.Just as soon as you question any conclusion from either side you become a "racist". Then you, rather than they, are the problem.Thus, for all of you who have tried to be "reasonable" and found yourself pissed on from both sides may I recommend to you membership in the John Spruce Society for radical middle of the road advocates. To join simply reply to this call on this post and join this intrepid group of true Americans. No dues either."

So, what is the John Spruce Society?
The Society was created by Howard Campbell Jr. who has been immortalized by Kurt Vonnegut in his book Mother Night. The Society was named after Private John Spruce who was killed at Check Point Charlie in Berlin early in the Cold War by being run over by a tank while standing in the middle of the road. The Society is for those who find that their positions on subjects place them in the middle of the road with a large probability of becoming ROAD KILL.

I would like to extend a special invitation to join our Society to Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC's Morning Joe program who this morning got run over from both directions for trying to make sense out of the testosterone battle between two idiots up in Boston.
