“An historic shift is taking place; the major western democracies are moving towards a corporatism. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope. The main parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies — socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor — and the same foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy. It is to politics what McDonalds is to food.”
Reviews of movies, music, politics, my thoughts in general, and a place to rant and recap the ranting.

“Lately I feel...
“Lately I feel like somebody made a big mess and I’ve got my mop and I’m mopping the floor and the folks who made the mess are there (saying) ‘You’re not mopping fast enough. You’re not mopping the right way. It’s a socialist mop.’”
- Barack Obama
you know i get pissed off and angry at him and frustrated and i feel powerless, and then i listen to him speak and its as if is all right with the world. i just really hope that all that good happy feeling is not empty and for nothing.....
“In his Senate victory speech...
“In his Senate victory speech, Republican megastar Marco Rubio announced that “America is the single greatest nation in all of human history. A place without equal in the history of all mankind” because “almost every other place in the world…what you were going to be when you grow up was determined for you.” Almost every other place in the world? From China to India to Brazil, hundreds of millions of people are rising economically in ways their parents could scarcely have imagined, in part because their governments are investing in infrastructure in the way the United States did in the late nineteenth century. The American dream of upward mobility is alive and well, just not in America. And rather than looking at what those other countries are doing right, the Republicans have taken refuge in an anti-government ideology premised on the lunatic notion that America is the only truly free and successful country in the world.”

ххх: это эпик. просто.
ххх: сегодня девушка с огромными metroвскими пакетами зашла в автобус, кругом все места заняты, причём сидят одни мужики. уступить ей никто не собирался. оглянулась так и громко, с характерным тяжким вздохом, произнесла: "я смотрю, у нас тут чисто женская компания собралась".
ххх: мест освободилось штук восемь
