A Funky Dream (or how the top ‘justifies’ inequality)

Just before awakening the other day, I had an interesting dream.

Another Showdown against Corruption – Your Help has its Deadline Today!

Five months ago, I reported the hair-raising Coup d’État of the South Dakotan governor and legislature against their own people when they brazenly repealed the anti-corruption law placed upon them by their people via a ballot initiative in November. Well, Represent.Us, bless their hearts(!), isn’t done fighting these political gangsters. They are collecting donations to […]
