Keep the Customer Satisfied: Clay Bennett

Bennett's one of several legitimate claimants to the cartooning mantel of the late Paul Conrad, of the LA Times. Others: Adam Zyglis in Buffalo, Jim Morin in Miami; Mike Lukovic in Atlanta; Tom Toles in DC; Horsey, wherever the hell he is...and Tom Tomorrow, though he's pretty much an internet phenom.Their draftsmanship is instantly recognizable, their observations are on point and acerbic, and their 'subjects' are chosen in timely and apt fashion.

REVEALED:  NATIONAL SECURITY LIES OF THIS MORNING

Glenn Greenwald points out lies of the Obama Administration about its drone aircraft killing program, concluding: "...huge numbers of people walk around in some sort of zombie-like state repeatedly spouting the mantra that 'Drones are Good because We are Killing the Terrorists' -- even though the CIA itself, let alone citizens defending its killings, have no clue who is even being targeted."

But some of the lies are so far out that even administration officials have to admit it.  One this morning, obviously fabricated to bolster support for an attack on Korea, came from Republican Representative Doug Lamborn, who quoted the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) as saying it had concluded with "moderate confidence" that North Korea had developed a nuclear bomb that could be fitted on a ballistic missile.  Even the Pentagon's spokesman and the U.S. national intelligence director said it was "inaccurate" to infer Pyongyang had the proven ability to launch a nuclear missile, and so did a spokesman for the South Korea government.

The DIA led many to believe Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (WMD), supporting the illegal invasion of Iraq even as LUV News was reporting there were no WMD, citing and running articles from the world's foremost experts on Iraq's weapons systems, clearly available to the DIA and Bush Administration, which is why we say they should clearly face charges for war crimes.----@[100000566061019:2048:Jack Revolutionist]

EXXON/Monsanto New Venture: Lawn Care


What could possibly go wrong?
In his Sunday strip at the NYTimes, “Lawn and Garden Tips from Your Friends at Exxon and Monsanto,” Brian McFadden has invented a great combo product that puts Exxon and Monsanto in a single package: “bitumen-resistant corn.”  Just in case an Exxon pipeline filled with Canadian tar sands “heavy crude” oil bursts near your fields (should the Keystone XL pipeline actually be built).

It's been reported for weeks if not months that the only thing that might save Social Security is, oddly enough, the Republicans. Not out of principle or any concern for the common man, but simply out of refusal to work with Obama on his budget. LowBar and the Dims have shown they're more than willing to slash the social safety net. But in return, they want a few tax increases. And the Repubs are refusing to budge. So far. Something else needs to emphasized, and repeated, again and again: Social Security does not and has never contributed to the deficit. Social Security is its own fund, separate from the rest of the federal budget. It has no borrowing authority. It has never borrowed money from anywhere else in the budget. By law, it can't. It can't and it doesn't. When people spout nonsense about SS contributing to the deficit, set them straight. The country is deficit-spending through trillions spent on things such as never-ending war and on bank bailouts, not because Ma and Pa Kettle are collecting $1,200 a month in Social Security.
