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.

Good effing doorknob: The Wyly Bros have written a "book"
Well, one of the two, Sam, with his son Andrew, has published a piece of Texas exceptionalism dreck called " Texas Got It Right."
And, Walter Isaacson, who I always thought was a puffball interviewer and literary poseur, went down even further in my book by writing the forward for this "thing" that I got at my office yesterday.
This is why, when I lived in south suburban Dallas, I told Downwinders at Risk representatives like the stubbornly semi-vacuous Katy Hubener their group was sleeping with the devil by selling people on Wyly-founded Green Mountain Energy, rather than promoting a "green" electric plan from Oncor.

Hey, Downwinders at Risk ...
Note to one Katy Hubener (and friends of hers):
Now that the Wyly E. Coyote bros' financial deceitfulness stands exposed, will you and Downwinders at Risk continue to sacrifice ethics in the name of alleged green benefits by taking money from these folks?
I don't care if these folks are allegedly that "green," by supporting nobody but GOP candidates, the Wyly brothers aren't green at all, but you, on the other hand, are a sucker for corporate greenwashing.
(Note to other readers: I've actually talked to the actual Katy Hubener about this, and she stoutly defended accepting the Wylys' tainted money.)
