Raking Muck in the Third Millenium

I used to have a sign over my desk in a newspaper office long ago, in Gothic script it read Rake Some Muck Today. In today's world, raking muck is something of a lost art. I may not be able to singlehandedly bring it back, but this is a start.

One of the scarier things about the Rabid Right is they sincerely believe the left is contemptuous of work.

That's interesting, since the left has often been accused of creating make-work jobs.

There is a difference between creating a safety net and encouraging a culture of living on the dole.

Certainly, that culture has developed, but that isn't the goal of the left and no one with any sense thinks that it is.

If the Rabid Righters actually checked the voting records of the "lefties" they hate so much, they would notice many of them support and introduce legislation that aids small businesses who create 62% of the jobs in America.

  1. If anybody can bring back good old muckraking, it would be you. Since when does the Rabid Right EVER check the voting record for anything other than to make THEM look righteous? PS In your About Me section: I'd swap positions of PHOTOGRAPH and MOTHER because it looks like you're saying "er ... mother." Which I thought was rather funny, myself.
    Keep raking that muck - roger sends a wet one!
