Who's Watching the Store?
by Robert Sheer
It is the great and terrible irony of capitalism that if left unfettered, it inexorably engineers its own demise, either through revolution or economic collapse. The guardians of capitalism's survival are thus not the smug free-marketers and brainy libertarians who, in defiance of the pragmatic Adam Smith himself, want to chop away at all government restraints on corporate actions, but rather liberals who seek to harness its awesome power while keeping its workings palatable...
PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS – Save the dollar, not the banks!
As an assistant secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration, Paul Craig Roberts had a front-row seat to observe Wall Street greed and Federal Reserve mistakes imperil the economy. Long before George W. Bush left office, Roberts decried the Iraq War, the neocon hijacking of legitimate conservatism and the looting of America's wealth.
HUSTLER: What happened to our economy?
PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS: Most people don't realize that the current economic crisis has several dimensions. It's n...

DIGITAL EXAM
by Alex Bennett
DO YOU KNOW WHY YOUR TV IS ABOUT TO FUCK YOU?
Okay, here's the exam. What does the date February 17, 2009, mean to you? You've seen it, but where exactly? How about superimposed over the lower third of your favorite TV show? Now you've got it.

LICENSE TO STEAL
by Robert Sheer
AMERICA'S UNREGULATED BANKING SYSTEM ROBS THE POOR TO GIVE TO THE RICH.
Some will rob you with a six-gun, and some with a fountain pen." That image from "The Ballad of Pretty Boy Floyd" is out of date these days, since bankers and other thieves who foreclosed on the bereaved widow's home in Woody Guthrie's old folk song don't use fountain pens anymore. Instead, they rely on computerized transactions, online solicitations, international money swaps and all sorts of other secret shen

HUSTLER PUBLISHER LARRY FLYNT'S STATEMENT: SPEAKING THE UNSPEAKABLE
Larry Flynt
Approaching the end of the first decade of the 21st century, we stand at a dark precipice that begs the question: Revolution or slavery? Yet we hesitate to even state this out loud for fear of being whisked off to a secret detention camp built by Halliburton. And therein lies the proof of our desperate situation. Before George W. Bush destroyed habeas corpus, we would not have been reluctant to speak up. Now we cringe. The politicians—Democrats and Republicans alike—have taken away yoDecember 30, 2008
ASSHOLE OF THE MONTH – RICK PERRY
Rick Perry
To describe Texas Governor Rick Perry as snarky, scheming and slimy is being nice. Totally lacking in morals or even a sense of shame, this well-connected Republican will do virtually anything (no matter how repugnant) to curry favor with Big Business— and to line his own bank account.Perry's latest bit of insanity? Trying to force all 11- and 12-year-old girls in the Lone Star State to be inoculated with the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil. Now don't get us wrong...

EXCUSE ME? PARDON WHO? PRESIDENT BUSH'S PARDONS
President Bush pardoned 19 more people before leaving for his holiday vacation, which brings his total pardons up to 191 according to the Associated Press.
What do you think about the people he pardoned? Who should and shouldn't be on that list?
MSNBC has the list in the middle of this article of the 19 he pardoned: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28368672/
Also, Wikipedia is trying to keep a tally: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_pardoned_by_George_W._Bush
