 We Now Return to Our Regularly Scheduled ProgrammingPosted on Jan 25, 2012
Truthdig is back in full effect after a day of technical difficulties on Tuesday. And not to worry—it wasn’t the result of a covert sting operation by Gingrich’s camp. Meanwhile, check out our commentary and join the ongoing conversation about Tuesday night’s State of the Union speech, won’t you?

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread. Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts. Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with. Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page. |

I didn’t see Obama’s address to the nation because I didn’t have to see it to know what would be spouted once again. More empty promises. Empty because his hands are tied by his opponents and won’t be otherwise until he’s out of the Oval Office.
Politics in America has become a game of kill or be killed. There is no respect amongst the “big” boys and they deserve no respect from the people. Please allow me to qualify that statement. There is one that I know of who is deserving of respect. I believe his name is Bernie Sanders. He stood up for the working class American when all the others sat on their royal asses and kept mute.
The American system of politics is long dead. We have elected everything from criminals to movie stars to lead us and they have all failed us.
When we ever learn, when? The evidence that we, the people, have no representatives in Washington is more than overwhelming. The only alternative we’re left with is to oust them…..all!

Those who still believe in the sham of the two party system might see some hope in Obama’s recent platitudes to America - but with Goldman Sacks advisers and Jingoist American exceptionalism as his tone - all he produced in me was nausea. Can the people of the world look at this country and see anything but the unapologetic soulless hubris of a moribund empire ? The game is rigged so obviously here and the media challenges nothing - no matter how ridiculous or fantastic - and just continues to report the political theatre of the absurd. There is no justice to be brought to the Wall street vultures, no relief from the economic crippling of most of the American working class. No forgiving of debt, no guarantee of refinancing, no retraining programs. Corporations are ‘people’ that have free speech, working people have no money and are thus rendered MUTE. Wave the flag and wage endless war externally while stripping the rights and freedoms of citizens internally. Two million angry people in Washington DC is the American Spring that I am hoping for.
