A lot of people on the extreme far right call Matt Taibbi a polemist. I disagree. Anne Coulter is a shining example of a bomb throwing polemist as is pretty much any contributor to Fox News which is nothing less than the propaganda wing of the GOP. But I think Taibbi's articles are very even handed. They're just difficult reading for the ruling class because hey, who wants to be publicly skewered by the truth?
I doubt that there can be any defence of the hugely destructive and hypocritical "War On Drugs" as this linked piece in Rolling Stone beautifully illustrates. The story is more about the recent DOJ ruling against HSBC which please note is not a 1.9 billion dollar fine but rather a "settlement." Nevertheless the rot and corruption taking place in America rivals much of what goes on in Russia.
That must be a hard pill to swallow since both parties are responsible for Americas current state of affairs. Follow the link and read the story.
