You know, when Wikileaks let the cat out of the bag on just how rich and greedy Mubarak was, the people got royally pissed.

Now, Matt Taibbi let the whole litter of the critters out off the bag, in “Why Isn’t Wall Street in Jail?” and we need to get royally pissed too.

I mean, some of us knew already. The same people investigating Wall Street spin in and out of working for Wall Street. Its the fox guarding the fox, and they both get more chicken than Jim Morrison ever dreamed. Talk about back door men?

I ain’t no roads scholar but I know which one we’re driving down. And that perdish’un don’t mean no prude. I also know I would have been doomed to repeat history, had it not been for my gift of writing microscopic crib sheets. But I do know all those Economic Rhodies soon coming to their eternal Perdition may not be just History repeating herself.

You cannot Atomize us anymore.

Well, holy smokes, its been a week since I last highlighted my friends and subversive partners!

Its been a slow week on WWL, I have been ungodly busy with all things being my husband’s cancer complications, and my son’s flu. Sorry!

This Friday? I get to interview John Kozy again! He is an amazing writer and voice of the Left, you can join us here tomorrow on Wild Wild Left Radio!

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/d…

I worried about who we choose as allies, and if it is OUR choice at all, thinking that we the PEOPLE should be allying with our own peers abroad, rather than let the Rich choose in, Our Friends.

I also responded to some Obamabots critique of me, by writing Confessions of a Damned Elitist.

Edger graced us with Is B Incompetent – Or The Last Resort? chronicling the same-same of Obama/Bush.

The Mom Cat was in perfect form reporting on how The US Constitution Has Been Suspended by the GOP with some great commentary by our readers.

Al Osorio brought us another Obama comparison, this time imagining McCain won, with a piece called “Obama 2012 ! An interview with President John McCain” !!

My series of Open Threads babbled about living with cancer, random music,the trials of a blog gone down, the need for monetary support to keep WWL alive and general bitching about the insanity of the world… I got some wondrous advice on some of these…

From the Vaults, a vintage gottlieb:

Do or Die

Last but not least? Never piss off a writer! Even a saint will reach her limit after the 3rd strike. Heh.

Really. I hear it all the time. Egypt is our friend. Saudi Arabia is our friend. We have a special relationship with Israel.

So, how exactly is it that two Countries share “Friendship?” Do they call and cheer us up when we are having a bad hair peasant day? Do they cover for us when we are cheating on our wives ripping off other Countries? I mean when its gets up to the “special relationship” phase, do we have an “From Here to Eternity” moment in the surf?

Oh, come onnnnn already!

Countries aren’t people, they cannot have friends. So what could these code words possibly MEAN?

First off, let me assure you that does not mean I am one of Society’s “Elites.”

ELITE: In sociology as in general usage, the elite is a group of relatively small size, that is dominant within a large society, having a privileged status perceived as being envied by others of a lower line of order.

No, no privileged status here. Quite the contrary, actually.  No money, no status, no “powah”… yet I embrace the title anyway. I’m a different kind of Elitist; that being a member of a minute segment of this society who has become Truly LEFT.

I am however Elitist enough to infuriate the common dregs who adore Palin’s absolute slaughter of the language she employs in describing her absolute ignorance of any subject on which she speaks. In fact I am Elitist enough to irritate the piss out of well-intended Liberalish people, too.

I finally understand the words spoken to me so very long ago, “Sweetheart, we are about a tenth of one percent in the Country. Face it, we are pretty much out here alone on the far edges of the Left.”

Whether it be Progressives demanding loyalty to Democrats, or an accusation of being Racist for not supporting Obama… The centrist mentality pervades people who consider themselves “Left” and use “far-left” as an insult. Right after Far-left usually comes the cry of “Elitist” and god forbid you cite actual evidence that teeters their ideology or to rebut their Obamabot screeches. From the so-called “Left” it makes me doubly crazy. They HELP demonize the very IDEAS that would create a real Democracy for the People: Socialism.

Let me cite my favorite author on my “Elitism.”

More Chavez!

Egypt is FREE…of Mubarak anyway…but don’t forget, transition of power to the military comes while Mubarak, Suleiman and Prime Minister Ahmad Shafiq are all former military men.

I read an article this week by Mike Whitney, “World Focus: Can We Swap Obama for Chavez?” and it set me thinking deeply.

So, as I studied the no less than 14 different breaking headlines I wanted to cover tonight, I decided to spend a little time comparing what Hugo does for his country with what Obama has done for ours. Check out what we have gotten MORE of… more war, more fear, more cold, more neglect, more money to the top, more poisoning, more racism, more manipulation, more lies…. whew!

Its going to be scathing, and eye-opening in that tear your eyelids back and pour tabasco in them kind of way.

I know what I want. More Heroes & MORE LEFT!

No guesty goodness tonight, so I will be welcoming YOUR calls!

Remember to tune in next week for a return visit from Contributing Author on WWL, Professor John Kozy. HE GETS IT, and isn’t afraid to SPEAK OUT!

WWL Radio: Bringing you “out there where the buses don’t run” LEFT perspective with interviews, op/eds and straight talk since January of 2009!

Day 13 of Egypt’s fight for freedom from tyranny, and the US is focused on a display of excess and inanity called the Super Bowl.

Somehow, that is for me, what amounts to a perfect vignette of all that is wrong in the World. There is nothing inherently wrong with enjoying athletic contests as a “pastime,”  be it football, soccer, baseball, or hockey ~ or anything else that suits your fancy. What rankles me is that it has become a religious ritual worked into a fervor, treating men playing a game as “Gods” with all the residual excesses that provides in our system, and nothing but a vehicle to promote advertising for the already sickeningly wealthy who can purchase the air time to try and dupe us into buying McLard burgers and cheapass beer. Not that I have anything AGAINST cheapass beer. But it would be a LOT cheaper if they didn’t have to spend 3 million dollars for a 30 second spot.

How does a Revolution Sound?

Tracey Chapman may say it sounds like a whisper, but girlfriend that whisper has become a roar!

It is not just about the bread lines, nor about a simple regime change, the World is crying out for Democracy of the REAL kind – for People to determine the conditions of their own life.

I’ll be reporting on Egypt, and Tunisia and all the other places people are refusing to take the uneven hand they are dealt by the Ruling Elite Class.

When will WE quit whispering and ROAR?

We witnessed first hand as our Earth was torn asunder and bled oil, which we treated with poison. The Gulf Crisis is far from over. We need to keep looking critically at what has been done, and what is still occurring.
