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.

Candidness, Coburn and irony
Often-nutty Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn may just be right on wanting more government transparency. Whether right or wrong, he staged a filibuster over the issue after a transparency clause was dropped by the House, and House-Senate conference, from a bill he had it inserted into. The hilarity, and irony ensue from there, especially when an anonymous source is used in the name of boosting transparency.
