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.

The Nation still rides the Obama pony
It’s kind of sad for Publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel to still talk about Barack Obama as a progressive president. Coming from someone theoretically that well informed, I’d have to call that a conscious, deliberate lie of some sort. That’s doubly true since she next lists all the disappointments of his administration, like lack of financial reform and banking sellouts, etc.
