1. This sickens me. If I didn't live so close to a third world

city, I wouldn't be as bothered by this.

But, as I watch a major metropolitan area begin to resemble Kabul more and more,
I am angry at this political system that alls about money.


And, Cenk, you're great.

2. This won't be fixed until we finance campaigns publicly and get rid of corporate person-hood.

In other words - we're fucked.

3. I've been feeling this dread since the Robertson court ruled in favor of

United "Citizens". That's when I knew we were screwed big time.

4. I was surprised that Kyl only "earned" $380K as a senator from these corpos

I would have thought Gen. Dynamics, Raytheon et. al would pony up more than $6K here and $15K there. :shrug: Oh, yeah, I forgot the $380K represents documented campaign funds, and not the other (undocumented) kind.

7. That's only reported money

The media talks little about offshore accounts.

5. Yes

8. The show host could only respond with how "bad ass" US tanks are? n/t

10. He was clearly being sarcastic...

...or did you miss the big YES he said to Cenk's rant? Anyway I thought it was clearly sarcasm.

11. I guess I read it differently

Going back and watching that bit again - maybe you're right.

9. This nation's on an express elevator to Hell

And we'll be dragging the entire planet down with us.

I hope I live long enough to witness the OH SHIT! moment.
