So. Evidently the fact that Goldman Sachs and their Wall Street ilk are rapacious thieves is news to folks who frequent this site. Or so a currently rec-listed diary claims. Now, I only spend a combined hour or less per day here, but that really surprised me. And it made me realize that there are probably just all kinds of things that I would have thought that Kossacks were already aware of, but are not.
So, as a service to the greater Kossack Kommunity, here's a list of a few of them. Feel free to add more in comments.
The world is round. It revolves around the sun.
Money is highly influential in politics.
The fate of the public option is uncertain, and hinges on a number of political factors.
The health insurance and pharmaceutical industries do not necessarily have our interests at heart.
The earth's climate is growing warmer as a result of man-made causes; this is causing many problems today, which will increase in coming years and decades.
The petroleum industry does not necessarily have our interests at heart.
Joblessness is a big problem right now.
The rich are getting richer, and the poor, poorer.
Harry Reid is not the most forceful champion of progressive ideals.
There's this guy Alan Grayson who's talking a lot tougher than many other democrats.
Rush Limbaugh is a bad man.
Rachel Maddow makes many good points.
Texas is not a progressive nirvana.
The articles written by major newspaper pundits are often uninformed, banal, or worse.
Many cute cat and dog pictures can be found on the internet.
