Who invented the category of "moderate rebels" anyway?
Can you imagine the headlines if "moderate rebels" were trying to foist an armed rebellion on America?
But apparently it's A-ok if "moderate rebels" attempt a coup in Syria... especially if those "moderate rebels" have been trained and armed by the USA from the get-go.
Armed insurrection would not be tolerated for five minutes in the USA.
But when the armed insurrection in Muslim lands is trained and funded by that most exceptional nation, everything is hunky-dory.
America remains a long way from an honest look in the mirror.

Sean Penn's unfortunate masturbation/hell fixation
I see where one-time Hollywood A-lister Sean Penn has got himself some headlines for his ruminations on the 2016 White House campaign.
Yup, it's either vote Clinton or masturbate your way into hell.
I'm no psycho-analyst, but I suspect Sean's Catholic upbringing may have something to do with his hell & masturbation theme, mainly because there's pretty much no other group on the planet as fixated on that particular diad than the Catholics.
What impact will Penn's thoughts have on the campaign for the White House? Penn probably just gave Trump a good goose in the polling numbers. Acting mojo aside, what the fuck does Sean Penn actually know about anything?
Look at his Haiti schtick. What's he accomplished there? Nothing. At least nothing positive. But his reflexive Clinton cheer-leading has left him a vocal supporter of the reactionary status quo in that benighted land, a land that has been more fucked up by the Clinton White House than by anything else in recent memory, with the possible exception of the 2010 earthquake.
Penn has a lot in common with Trump. Thanks to America's dysfunctional education system, there's a lot of folks who assume that just because somebody they saw on a screen says something, it is worthy of their attention.
Whether your name is Penn or Trump, that's not necessarily true.

The best America has to offer
Did you watch the debate last night? Between the world-class war-monger and the world-class tax evader?
Did it occur to you that if this is the best America can throw up for an election, that maybe it's time you were throwing up too?
Give me Mountain Dew Comacho any day of the week... at least he had a sense of humour!
Meanwhile, the much neglected Jill Stein, who, if you listen to her for a few minutes, exhibits all the symptoms of certifiable sanity, was ushered off the Hofstra campus hours before the shit-show was scheduled to begin.
Sorry lady, we don't need no sane folks round here... there's a presidential debate about to begin.
God bless America!

Who won debate one?
Trump won by faking a faux "presidentiality" for an hour and a half. Ya, I get that nugget of word play there... he's so fake that his fake fakery cancels itself out to the point that eventually you reach some fucked up zen zone of authenticity.
If such a thing can even be imagined...
Hillary won because she managed to not faint, collapse, or otherwise fall over, thereby proving that she does indeed have the stamina to be president.
Don't you get the sense that you've been witnessing a slow-motion train wreck?
And don't you get the sense that something's going to hit the wall in November?
Donald Trump is bringing democracy to the USA.
It won't be pretty.

Weekend in Wiarton
The Korean is now charging me $5.25 for the Saturday Globe and Mail.
That's a high tariff to get the latest insights from the likes of Renzetti, Saunders, and Wente. God knows they're not compelled by the Korean Korner Store Mafia to pay $5.25 to read my shit.
That makes the Sunday Star a veritable bargain; not only do I get the Toronto-centric pundits, but for less than three bucks I get the creme de la creme of the NYT punditocracy thrown in to boot, with that marvellous NYT insert that shows up every Sunday in my Sunday Star.
Ya, for less than three bucks I get world-class bullshitters like Friedman, Cohen, Brooks, and Douhtat.
I'm rapidly coming to a place where I'm going to skip the Saturday Globe, save $5.25, and just go to the world-class guys on Sunday.
Which leaves me with a bit of a problem; how to fill the time I used to spend turning the pages of Canada's national newspaper of record?
Newspaper wars may be what they are, but we're still stuck in Wiarton. Picked up my Saturday paper and headed to Dockside Willies for breakfast...
WTF?...
The place was packed! As in so packed there was no place to open up your weekend paper! Billy-Bob with the jacked-up Ford pick-up has a raging success on his hands! Who'd a thunk it?
Back when the place was known as Coal-shed Willie's I don't recall ever having to walk out the door because it was too busy.
Fuck success!
So we headed back up the hill to the Top Spot. No view of the bay, no outside patio, but really good straight-up breakfasts every day all the time.
Mind you, they could be succumbing to the siren call of success too... I notice their famous Sunday breakfast buffet has now migrated to include Saturday... the thin edge of the wedge, to be sure.
But at least you can still find a booth in which to unfold your weekend newspaper.

Shits and giggles on the campaign trail
It all started innocently enough. After a dinner party at Trump's palatial penthouse in Manhattan, Donald and his pals the Clintons sketched out the rough outlines of a Trump '16 campaign.
It wouldn't take more than a few months out of #therealdonaldjtrump's career of perpetual self-promotion, and, by golly, those few months would be consumed with perpetual self-promotion! There's a win-win for sure!
Trump, a dyed-in-the-wool Manhattan liberal, would run as a Republican, just to stir up shit in elephant land for the duration of the primaries. Make the Republicans look like dork-shits while making Hillsy look golden in comparison.
No serious person in America, including Donald J. Trump and the Clintons, dreamed that Donald might actually win the Republican nomination over that stable of establishment bum-boys.
But he did.
And that's where things started to go off the rails for the Clinton-Trump conspiracy to take over America.
Suddenly Mr. Trump realized that maybe, just maybe, he could gorf down the whole enchilada all by himself. Yes, all he had to do was stab his old pal Hillsy in the back, and the oval office was as good as won.
So he went for it.
And by God, look at where he is today! Running neck and neck with Hillsy even in the most egregiously biased polls!
Even after the entirety of the Republican establishment's Deep State PNAC apparatchiki has joined the Hillsy camp.
Even after the entirety of the mainstream media propaganda apparatus has jettisoned every last principle of professional journalism to dump on Trump.
He's a racist! (Let's just ignore the entire pool of Trumpian imagery that suggests he was more than cordial with the likes of Jesse Jackson, Ali, Don King, Reverend Al, etc...)
He's a misogynist! (Impossible to deny that he has referred to certain female critics in wildly misogynist terms.)
He's a cheat! (Hey, the only people who file 12,000 page tax returns are really rich people who pay zero taxes, but I'm sure it was all legal.)
He has made complimentary comments about Bad Vlad, the foreign leader most reviled by the PNAC crowd because he hasn't signed off on the Brzezinski plan for America's full-spectrum dominance of the planet in perpetuity.
What the elites don't realize is that every one of these charges just endears Trump to the rubes who long ago turned their backs on the contagion of political correctitude.
They just figure he called some fat ugly bitch a fat ugly bitch?... This bald breach of PC etiquette should have voters turning their backs on Trump in droves.
In fact, it has the opposite effect.
And doesn't he have a profoundly problematic relationship with the elephant in the elephant room, AIPAC? One day he's going to be "more balanced" in his approach to Israel/Palestine, and the ziocentric media panics...
But today Bibi pays a house-call... what to make of that?
Who knows?
Trump is a wild card, a loose canon, and at least another half dozen cliches all rolled up in a phenom unlike anything American politics has seen in the modern era.
In November he will destroy Hillary in the election.
By January he'll be dead.

Guardian unearths vast anti-Clinton conspiracy again
You remember the Guardian, one-time bastion of all that was good about the fourth estate?
Well, they've come a long way. As in a long way down the toilet. Dispassionate dispenser of objective truths?
Forget about it.
Take a gander at this Guardian scoop; Who is Palmer Luckey, and why is he funding pro-Trump trolls?
Palmer Luckey is the kid who founded Oculus, which he sold to Zuckerberg for 14 trillion dollars when he was only eleven years old. Or something.
According to the Guardian, Luckey has been using his vast fortune to fund anti-Hillary trolls on Reddit... because, I guess, that could be a game changer???
The Guardian has made a name for itself by laying waste to all the conventions of what was once considered proper journalism with its anti-Trump vendetta over the past year. Little do they realize that anti-Clinton trolls don't need funding.
Their motivation is the fact that they truly believe Hillary would be so much worse!
