Reality Control

June 6, 2011Henry Baum No Comments »

Important story about editing Wikipedia to conform to a politician’s conception of reality. Says a lot about America’s potential slide towards fascism.  How many Palin supporters are the same people saying that Obama’s bringing about a 1984 America?
Starting on Sunday, as Sarah Palin kept explaining that her version of the Paul Revere “Midnight [...]

Star of Palin

June 3, 2011Henry Baum No Comments »

Seen some confusion online about just why Sarah Palin was wearing a Star of David on her trip to New York. On the one hand, she’s just stupid enough to think, “That’s where Jews live! I love Jews!” But it’s also an evangelical Christian thing.
She didn’t say this, Michelle Bachmann did, but [...]

Palin Means Again

March 9, 2011Henry Baum No Comments »

So I’ve been working on TABOTD again – last night writing about a president declaring himself the Second Coming. And apparently “Palin” means “Again” in Greek – as in “the return.” There’s a reason I add UFOs into the mix, because if I was just going with right wing Christianity, the book would [...]

On Tucson, Zeitgeist & Philip K. Dick

January 17, 2011Henry Baum No Comments »

Maybe it’s finally time to weigh in on Loughner. The story has now directly touched on a lot that’s gone into my novel, and really much of my worldview.  Loughner is reportedly a fan of Philip K. Dick and the movie Zeitgeist.  Peter Joseph weighs in on Tucson here:
It has come to my attention that [...]

The Dumbest Woman on Earth

November 30, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

Via Andrew Sullivan, a good takedown of Palin:
If Sarah Palin is not some kind of a massive political joke in the USA, wheeled out to liven up the political scene from time to time with nonsensical and pastiche (one hopes) displays of sheer and utter ignorance, then it is worrying. It is even more so [...]

Palin’s Religious Test

November 23, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

Sarah Palin on JFK:
Palin writes that she was taught as a child that JFK’s speech reconciled religion and public service without compromising either. Now, she says, she’s realized that Kennedy “essentially declared religion to be such a private matter that it was irrelevant to the kind of country we are.”…
In other words, religion should be [...]

President Palin

October 28, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

I’ve been pretty at ease thinking that Sarah Palin couldn’t succeed in a general election. But then I read this:
The real point here is that the third party fantasy is irrelevant. If there’s a double-dip recession and unemployment is over 10%, then odds are good that any GOP nominee would win. Yes, [...]

Doublespeak

Palin on Armageddon:
“We have to realize that, at the end of the day,” Palin warns in the interview, “a nuclear weapon in that country’s hands is not just Israel’s problem or America’s problem — it is the world’s problem. It could lead to an Armageddon. It could lead to that World War [...]
