Yesterday was not a good day for Rudy Giuliani<\/a>. Apart from being exposed as part vampire,<\/a> A report says he was kicked off the Iraq Study Group for poor attendance and his South Carolina finance chair was caught with a pound of cocaine. Now, call me crazy, but when I’m on a coke binge, the last thing I want to do is be around a bunch of uptight white fucks talking about Iraq. Actually, when I’m on a coke binge, I like to be in the darkness of a strip club backroom with the majority of my torso exposed and a pair of sunglasses put on sideways. But that’s just me.<\/p>\n

Anyway, to those who says socialism doesn’t work<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I am sick and tired of reading ignorant people who\u2019ve never read anything Marx or Engels wrote (except possibly the Communist Manifesto) baselessly claim that \u2019socialism doesn\u2019t work\u2019.<\/p>\n

My simple response to people who spout this empty rhetoric is to ask: how do you know?<\/p>\n

Ever since the West witnessed the horror that was the Soviet Union and red China, the dream of socialism has been inexorably married in our literature, politics, rhetoric and culture to these perverse manifestations of totalitarianism. The impact of these horrors has struck all sides of the political spectrum from the left to the right. On left, we have seen them seemingly no longer willing to call themselves \u2019socialists\u2019 so they go by monkiers like \u201canarco-socialists\u201d which, at least under the original definition of the term, is as redundant a phrase as PIN number, ATM machine, or NDP party. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Updated: Socialism, and this, give me an erection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember Those Missing Emails? Looks Like Staffers Accidentally Sent 500 Emails to georgewbush.org, Not georgewbush.com. Domain Operator? Anti-Bush Activist Who Holds the Evidence<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m listening to Greg Palast on Democracy Now! talking about how Karl Rove\u2019s lackeys totally screwed up when they were sending emails about firing US Attorneys for not being Republican Party and Karl Rove friendly. It seems that instead of sending the emails they typed up to georgewbush.com they sent it to georgewbush.org which is a domain that friends of Greg Palast\u2019s own. Greg Palast now has 500 of the Karl Rove emails. What was revealed in the emails reviewed by RFK Jr. had him saying (paraphrasing) that \u201cRove et al should be in jail, not in office.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
