Poll: What was the Obamateurism of the Week?

Have you got "the word" yet?


The word is given — it’s time to get your figures straight and choose the Obamateurism of the Week! If you’ve got Russia Georgia on your mind, it’s easy to mix up a couple of these, so take care.  And for goodness’ sake, if you’re going to crib off of someone else’s work, don’t make [...]

American Marine sentenced to death in Iran

Visiting his grandmother


Well, it looks like that warm and fuzzy moment of humanitarian goodness from when we rescued their sailors from pirates didn’t last very long. Amir Mirzaei Hekmati, a former US Marine with dual citizenship in America and Iran, was arrested last year while visiting his grandmother in their native country. Born in Arizona, Mirzaei was [...]

Maria Conchita Alonso to Sean Penn: Let’s face it, you’re a communist A-hole

Oh my.


Via the New York Post, which has an account of their angry exchange at LAX, 15 solid minutes of hippie-punching goodness. Skip ahead to 5:30 for the meaty bits. She wrote an open letter to Penn last year unloading on him for his cretinous Chavista apologetics and I guess he must have remembered because allegedly [...]

Mandelman on the News Dissector Radio Show

My goodness, I’ve been doing quite a few radio programs lately, have you noticed?  I really like doing the radio show thing, it’s a lot easier than writing long, in-depth articles… LOL… just kidding… sort of.  Anyway, this is a link to me on Danny Schechter the News Dissector’s show, which is out of New York.  We’re talking about the economy and the foreclosure crisis, what else?

Here’s a link to the show:

Mandelman on the News Dissector, with Danny Schechter

Danny Schechter produced and directed the movie, PLUNDER, and I like the movie so much that I suggested that others watch it and even hold “Plunder Parties” so that people across the country would start to realize who caused the economic catastrophe we’re going to be living with for the next way-too-many years.  Here’s a link to that, in case you missed it:

Have a Plunder Party and Help Change Our World

I’m not kidding when I say, “help change our world,” by the way.  The only way we’re going to change things in this country (short of waiting for them to change on their own which will happen eventually, but at 49 years old, it won’t matter to me by then) is for the people to speak out and demand balance… in other words, tell our elected representatives that the banks aren’t the only important members of our society… and the only way the people will speak out is if they realize that what’s happened is not their fault.

Until they (read: you) understand that its not the borrowers, it’s the banks that caused our national meltdown… they’ll (read: you’ll) remain ashamed and unable to speak out.  So, watch Plunder… seriously… buy it and watch it.  It’s like $16.99… and  you can throw $16.99 at something this important.

Anyway… all this radio show practice is going to come in handy… because soon I might just be doing a radio show of my own.  And maybe even some Podcasting… I’m so techie, after all.

Mandelman out.
