A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Can you say “stagflation”?
People my age and older remember this word from the Ford Administration. Now, with oil prices flirting with $95/bbl and likely ending further Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, and consumer confidence falling along with spending, while the housing-related credit crunch takes its toll, it may be time to break this word back out of cobwebs and bring it back into the lexicon.
