Those of us who live in the phony-baloney, ocean-adjacent America know little of John Boehner. Of course, we've heard the tales of his 27-hour workdays whittling American Jobs out of plain fir wood in his Ohio-based Opportunity Laboratory. We've heard of his quest to bio-engineer a giant human ear that is to be staked to his chest cavity so he may finally Listen to America in the way that we never could. And perhaps, it is because of our inferior listening skills that we've never before heard his suffering.

The following video by YouTube user, FallingWhistles, is exemplary. It is informative, viscerally affects the viewer, and carries a message unheralded by the mainstream media.

As much as we respect and admire the work of intrepid objective progressive video reports like Democracy Now! and Global Post, production value ultimately matters. As unfortunate as it is, it matters a great deal more than the message carried within. We cannot leave it to the Fox News's and Mind-numbing Reality Programs of the world to be the arbiter of what stories are told, simply because they have a knack for tapping into human emotional responses.

If we are to change the discourse in this country, we have got to do our psychology homework. We've got to use symbolism, subtlety, and sub-conscious signals to our advantage. And we should start by taking a cue from this piece on the Congo...

Four days ago, Andrew Joseph Stack, an otherwise unremarkable software engineer in his 50s, committed an act of terrorism when he crashed a small plane into the Texas State IRS center in Austin. While many people are still processing this event and its potential ramifications, some media sources seek to bury this story and downplay its significance.

Here's the President's reaction tolast week's heinous Supreme Court decision that removed restrictions on corporate contributions to political campaigns. While, politically, this just moves us yet closer to the future of Demolition Man or Jennifer Government, I'm more interested in this piece's subtext...

This week, BLDGBLOGfeatured Remnants of the Biosphere, a series of portraits of what was once one of the most ambitious scientific projects in human history. Biosphere 2, constructed in the Arizonian desert, was billed as the first large scale enclosed eco-system designed by humans. It is now little more than a run-down tourist center.

Looks like Mr. Obama is finally going to earn that Nobel Prize of his. In one of the more devious moves in recent presidential history, the big O has sent out nearly the entire US army to lamely wander the deserts in Afghanistan.
