More on Reagan, the Suck-Ass 80's...

Some older articles this week: check out Tom Turnipseed on Dubya and Reagan's shared affinity for corporate media consolidation, and their mirror subservience to General Electric; Diane E. Dees on the similarities in the public personas of Dubya and Reagan, and their similar use of rhetoric; and David Kusnet on the resemblance between Dubya and Reagan's economic policies.

I wanted to go deeper into the inherent flaws of supply-side economics, but did not have the space this week... perhaps later. Nonetheless, check out a couple of excellent recent articles by Alan Wolfe and Charles Sullivan on the inherent flaws of conservative governing philosophy, particularly in regards to militarism and the corporate welfare state.

Lastly, check out the great cartoon by Mr. McFadden last week, and the odd response to it by a publisher.
