call me naive but; 80% did not contain the listed ingredients? 80%? That would be fraud on a massive scale, involving thousands of people. I didn't believe it, I don't believe it now.

Here is a great article on the absolute and total failure of Reaganomics. I can't think of anything that failed so ignominiously and still was so heatedly defended. We really have to start saying this stuff. Even though they will never admit to being wrong. Because if they're wrong, they are the biggest suckers to ever walk the face of the earth.

Revolution in Reverse

In the face of all this catastrophism, the placid certainties of neoliberal ideology rattle on as though nothing has happened. Remarkably, our governing elites have decided to greet a moment of existential reckoning for most of their guiding dogmas by incanting with redoubled force the basic catechism of the neoliberal faith: reduced government spending, full privatization of social goods formerly administered by the public sphere, and a socialization of risk for the upper class.

Reagan was battling the dire threat of stagflation. I think it's safe to say that a majority of Americans would take stagflation over what we got now.

Last month when we had our first sustained below zero temps in 20 years, I did a diary about how I had read on a .gov site that one could just turn off the water and open all the faucets to prevent bursting pipes. I asked the dear Kos community if anyone else used that method instead of letting the water run all night. I had one guy who said he did it that way and fifty people who said "Don't do it". So, of course I did it. And it worked.

I was chuckling as I watched Al Roker, the weatherman, on the tube this morning. They were discussing the dire situation in the South after the storm. I wish I could find the clip, but to paraphrase; Roker said "We freaking told them, didn't we; didn't we freaking tell them?".

This old house does not have enough insulation so I'm worried about the pipes freezing as this deep freeze comes in Tuesday. Usually I would let the water run, but being a parsimonious old fart, I really hate that solution. So I did that thing that I often complain other people don't do, I looked it up. This article suggests that I have been thinking about it all wrong. Short and sweet version after the page break.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is doing a series on mental disorders. And they're starting out right in the midst of the controversy. As the father of a teenager with mental "problems", I try to look at all sides. I'm sticking with, "Sorry, everything is on the table".

War, genocide, murder, rape, pillage, tyranny, thievery; hey, always has happened, I can get over it. But Google releases a new phone and I can't get over it. Here's why:

Many of us men welcome the needed balance that women bring to politics. I would like to see an end to the two thousand year old patriarchy. And then there is this:

Small but important, if you find a pro-Democratic video that you like.You have to watch the whole video. And hopefully, if you have a YouTube account, "like" the video.

Or why this aging boomer loves the Internet.

I watch some TV and see a pretty good Heineken commercial. The ad features a hot retro all woman singing group. I think, who is that and look it up on the Internets. And I get "Clairy Browne & the Bangin' Rackettes". Gotta love that name. Where's Bette Midlar?
