Welcome to The Now

From a recently well-received summer movie : CIA Director McCone : The law says we've got to turn her over. William Stryker Sr. : The law applies to human beings. The same laws don't apply to mutants. They're too dangerous. In times like this, security is important than liberty. There is a war coming, John. William Stryker Sr. : Yes, but a war with who? Emma Frost : [ gets up, walks towards them, cuts a circle in the glass and looks at them through the hole ] Excellent question. Though I wouldn't call it a war, exactly. That suggests both sides stand an equal chance of winning . And on that note, I give you Jon Perr's " Republicans Rush to Defend Winners of the Class War ." It's a piece worth reading, especially in light of all of this "Class Warfare" nonsense. I mean, can a conflict between the 1% of the country who holds like 95% of the wealth and the 99% who holds the other 5% really be considered a fair fight; especially when some of...

President Obama's on a road trip trying to gain support from a non-existent political center .

This way, everything bad that's happened is either President Clinton or President Obama's fault, and everything good that's happened is because of President Reagan or President G.W. Bush . Too bad for them it's not remotely true.

No, really; the tax cuts was a political trap . Time for Obama to realize that the GOP does not plan on playing nice .

The conservatives in America have could teach a class on how to use factions for political gain. Whether you're talking about baiting bigots and racists, schmoozing with God-fearing Christians or pandering to Friedman-ordained Wall Street types, the American Conservative has been able to pull off spectacular, if temporary, alliances. The Tea Party phenomenon is just the latest in a long line of attempts to re-brand and re-tool the conservative element within the GOP. But while this has been going on, there's been another interesting development: the potential fracturing between conservatives and libertarians, as evidenced by Ron Paul's one vote loss to Mitt Romney in the last Conservative Something Something Convention . But more to the point, there's been recent comments by noted "voices" of conservatives dismissing the previous Conservative Something Something Convention as being too libertarian . It seems strange that this is the stance being taken. The GO...

Who said, "I knew God had a plan for me?" Play the game here .

Democrats have been Capitalism's White Knight since Hoover .

While I'm skeptical on bailing out the Big Three Dinosaurs, at least I'm not hypocritical about it . Yet another reason I'm glad this Reagan-humping, opportunistic jerk didn't stumble his way to 1600.

Find out why here . UPDATE: Jon Perr has more .

When she the New Shiny Political Toy, Sarah Palin labeled Hillary Clinton a whiner . Now that she's been on the receiving end of an Obama smackdown, Palin's refuses to take her own advice .

Question #1 : If Obama loses, will black people revolt/riot? Answer : This is a dumb question, but odds are "no." While there are more than one instance where horrible things have been done to the African-Americans , the closest "reaction" was relatively non-violent . Question #2 : If Obama wins, will white people revolt/riot ? Answer : This is a dumb question, but as long as the political climate does not cause our voters to deteriorate into loosely organized mobs I would say "no." See here for reasons why voters may deteriorate into loosely organized mobs. Jon Perr answers a better question : What could happen to the Economy if the Democratic candidate Barack Obama wins? Hmmm:

... but Jon Perr did . Cool.

Jon Perr breaks it all down .
