One of the features of the latest meta war here seems to be name calling.

One faction labels the other faction: purists, navel gazers, purity trolls, etc

the other faction throws around labels too: mindless robots, enablers, etc.

Some people like to communicate in a harsh way. but, for those on both sides, and for the third group (disgusted with the bickering and/or holders of nuanced, hard to classify positions) it can be difficult to reference a particular faction without resorting to potentially insulting terms.

I noticed this as I became aware that I was adding So-called, or putting the term in quotes. Join me below for a fun (I hope) creative exercise:

An extra helping of gravy for the opinion starved!

NO Sports, No Tweets, no polls, no dinosaurs...

Get ready for San Jose with this:

The movement of wealth from the middle class to wealthier Americans has complex origins, but federal tax policy has been a major contributor.
And following the 2009 stimulus, which helped but was not enough to fill the massive hole in the economy, Washington has exacerbated the inequality trend by embracing austerity rather than creating jobs through investments in roads, transit and other public infrastructure. So a shrinking middle class has been unable to lift us beyond a tepid recovery.

UPDATED WITH MORE INFO

Well.....

Can't wait to hear more about this! This link leads to a micro article (really just a blurb) about a breaking story involving what I imagine is a lawsuit based on insider trading (?)

http://www.boston.com/...

Here is more

Shareholders believed they’ve been misled over the potential growth of the company, which could have led to an inflated IPO price. The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan, and targets Mark Zuckerberg as well as lead bank Morgan Stanley. The parties involved reportedly withheld “a severe and pronounced reduction” in revenue growth forecasts.

That's it! We've lost. It's over.

We've lost.

Why does this always happen? Why do we always lose?

Lose lose lose.

I wish time/human events/history didn't stop (like it always does) just long enough for everyone to see we've LOST AGAIN! Wouldn't it be nice if politics and history and time could be viewed as non-linear, or at least ever flowing? Then the concept of LOSING would appear quite silly.

Comcast has suddenly pulled MSNBC off in this small town in Vermont. This is a community with no broadcast TV signal (too isolated and moutainy) and because of the mountains, dish TV service is not possible for some. So, for me and others, we have no choice but to deal with Comcast (ugh) or do without TV.
My wife and I work in the entertainment industry...we need TV to keep up on pop culture (like it or not) and Countdown is my wife's main daily dose of news. This is a bad day for us. I'm angry that FOX (of course) is not singled out for this, nor CNN.

Below is my letter to Comcast, the unresponsive response, and my rebuttal. I would like to hear what others are planning. I called my congressman and the FCC, just to note that "Comcast is a poor corporate citizen worthy of scrutiny".

Today I recieved a delusional email from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee:

THEN:
Two weeks ago, President Bush vetoed our legislation to demand accountability in Iraq and declared he would only sign a bill without any accountability for his management of the war.

NOW:
Now, the President has agreed to accountability and reporting provisions. That means for the first time we can force the President to be held accountable for his endless war in Iraq. We canceled the President's blank check in Iraq.

I'm sure a lot of other Kossacks have recieved this. I know a certain witty resident of Maine named Bill has (sorry for covering this ground again, but my post is about protest strategy, so...
