What would you know - our own homegrown Robert Fisk. He's even more shriller than Fisk. Its bad enough we get bashed from a Limey jealous of America; we don't need an enfant terrible the likes of Ted Rall telling us we've grown too big for our britches. Oh well - you can't convince every American on the eve of the Fourth of July to show some appreciation for this country!

Actually, this was an informative article. Its good to know that Hamas has a "politbureau". They've clearly mixed a little communism in with their other political and religous aims. Good to know. Wow. Ted Rall actually provided some potentially useful information. Who knew?

The rest is pure boring, angry, failure talk though. I'd like to know if he has any this crazy stuff we like to call "evidence" that the US government was involved in the attempted coup in Venezuela. I have a suspicion that people like Mr.Cheney know EXACTLY how to make a coup stick in a unstable South American state. It's not like it was hard to see coming. Unpopular marxist leader, unhappy military brass, hard economic times, mass public movements. Sure, they needed external help to bring that mess down. Tons of it. That coup was amateur hour,if the CIA offered anything except interest in the outcome I'd be very surprised.I've seen nothing to support Rall's assertion.

And THAT is pure Rall. Pull a statement right out of your butt based on nothing but your own fevered little worldview and then state them like they're fact. I wish he'd stick with nasty, unfunny cartoons. They require him to put less words on paper and frankly, that's the only positive thing he can possibly offer.

Sorry. Had to vent.:)
