-10

Prof. Henry A. Giroux: Tea Partiers are all sadists, in part because they hold the despicable belief that "brilliant individuals [are] more qualified to run government."

7

The term "Arab Spring" is a counter-revolutionary conspiracy of the American media to keep the proles elsewhere in false consciousness. Never mind that it was coined by Dominique Moisi, a French writer.

A Quaker pontificates on how patriotism is a sin that validates the behavior of such stinkers as Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, and the folks who brought down the Soviet Union.

23

Regarding the mass homeopathic "overdoses" by the 10:23 campaign, Natural News ponders "Why won't homeopathy skeptics drink their own medicine?" The answer being, of course, that they are under the febrile delusion that electrons are physical objects rather than "vibrations."

4

In Thailand, the party of that monopolistic self-aggrandizing cell-phone tycoon tireless champion of the people, Thaksin Shinawatra, has just won re-election; one should look out for a re-hash of the demagoguery and human rights abuses of his first term transformation of the elite establishment.
