  • MY NOMINATION FOR WORST AIRPORT

    [Read the article: Ask the Pilot]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I nominate the newly renovated Kansas City airport (circa 2000) for the worst airport. Bowing to the airlines who wanted more departure lounges, no public lavatories were installed inside the security perimeter. That’s right.

    If you want to make a pit stop when the call for boarding is given, you have to leave the security area, relieve yourself, and check back in, from the end of the line, and recheck all you carry-ons. I bitterly complained every time I was forced to use that airport. I am certain I was not alone

    This is outrageous airline contempt for the traveling public, elders, parents with small children, and those with medical concerns.

    I don't know how it is today, but the public's howls of outrage when this was originally proposed were ignored, and the airport authority sucked up to the airlines to royally screw the traveling pubic doing business at KCI.

    Three cheers for the ruthless power of predatory capitalism!!!

  • The Girlfriend Makes Dolphin Noises in Bed

    The first suggestion that jumps up proposes that you get rid of the Dolphin and use a real girl.

  • FISA IS AN ANTI CORPORATION TOOL- THEREFORE IT MUST BE DILUTED

    [Read the article: The rigid pro-war ideology of the foreign policy community]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The entire history of the Bush-Cheney era is a massive coordinated effort by the corporate government behind the "elected" government to shut down a progressive populist takeover.

    Anything is fair game, and an unloosed Karl Rove may be far more dangerous to our freedoms out of government then he was while in government.

    The current congress members share in common, regardless of party, that they are owned and operated by corporations. Breaking the law is a legitimate strategy in the Rove manual for Modern Machiavellian management.

    Hillary Clinton's recent claim that the surge is working is consistent with this thesis. Keep the blood and corporate profits flowing. Open the floodgates to exploit the private communications of American citizens, especially those who threaten the administration with th truth, and empower populist and progressive causes.

    Now wait for the Nazi brown shirts to emerge to bring violence to public anti administration activists. They are next in the plan.

  • KOPPELMAN WRITES FOR THE CORPORATIST POWER STRUCTURE

    [Read the article: The ballad of Ramos and Compean]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The article is a brilliant spider's web of convoluted and misinformed logic. I will comment only on the most damning flaw, the effort to paint this controversy in accordance with right wing vs left wing, or conservative vs liberal MYTHOLOGY.

    NONE OF THAT MYTHOLOGY APPLIES ANY MORE. The issue is corporatist versus populist. Lou Dobbs is no more right wing than Bill Clinton is. Lou Dobbs should be correctly labeled as a populist progressive, which is what Dobbs calls himself. Thank God for Lou Dobbs, the only journalist with the balls to tell it like it is. (Likewise for Keith Olbermann)

    The rise of the Ramos and Compean issue is a corporatist initiative who need illegals to fuel their profit margins while they depress wages for all illegals, legals, and native born Americans. It is an obscene plot which this Koppelman article devotedly serves. WAKE UP AMERICA.

    Corporate power as managed by its greed and power mongers has already transformed our Democracy into a corporocracy. The abomination called "justice" by this corporate owned and operated administration wo convicted Ramos and Compean is a travesty of justice equal to the firing of the federal prosecutors.

    WAKE UP AMERICA!! All corporatist politicians must be removed from office, regardless of political party, and beginning in 2008. Find out who they are that are supposed to serve you. Look for populist progressive alternatives. TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR RECOVERY OF OUR LOST DEMOCRACY.

  • THE CORPORATIONS OWN THE REPUBLICANS, THE DEMOCRATS, AND THE GOVERNMENT

    [Read the article: "Broken Government"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The evidence now shows that, beginning with the election of 2000, under the shield of the "big lie," a slow motion coup d'etat has been unfolding in which our government's focus on the rights and needs of the American public has steadily been replaced by overpowering and unaccountable corporate control. This is made possible and assured by election fraud. Corporate control and our national government now equal each other!

    All the old nomenclature about political parties and labels is now moot. They are used to distract both public and pundits alike from recognizing the bitter conditions that define political Reality today. If Mr. Dean were to prepare a piece to refute my claims, his research will only produce evidence that validates my claims.

    Not only Republicans must be kept from office in 2008, but Democrats too, any and all who vote the corporatist party line. Any vote for any part of the status quo will only seal the death sentence already imposed on the United States by corporate America.

  • WHO IS REALLY REPONSIBLE FOR THIS DESTRUCTIVE IDIOCY?

    [Read the article: Another election fiasco in Florida?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    What an idiotic issue to fall on your sword for. The DNC and their extensions are not acting wisely. It seems to be a pattern. This is the kind of scheme that the right wing salivates over. The committee should immediately follow the trail of corporatist dollars that may funding this exercise back to their source.

    The DNC should be alert for dozens of self destructive initiatives to the democratic cause that are going to blossom all across the country over the next 12 months. They should be alert that there are going to be high level corporatist moles inserted into the party decision making apparatus to confound its ability to get out a potent democratic vote. The candidates themselves ought also be suspect. Find them and remove them.

    Become alert. Stay alert. The 2008 election is our last chance to stop the crush of corporate power. If not stopped, then be prepared to welcome full blown fascism. The last days of Rome are fast approaching, but its not the vandals stupid, its the corporations stupid, and their political lackeys who have spawned this idiotic issue.
