Put up a lengthy new piece over at The Defeatists...some good stuff in it. Tim Eagan wrote a great column this weekend on what a debased slug and hypocritical slime Paul Ryan is and why so extracts and links plus Bob Geldorf swearing at the monied establishment in Europe and the US.
Basically, Paul Ryan's appeal to the racist right with his use of the "poverty-entitlement-safety net qua cushion" is the same argument that cost Ireland 3 million people I70 years ago. It was a bad argument then, and it's worse now.
