freelansing in Seattle

I’ve neglected my own blog a bit as I’ve been posting to the Eat the State! blog lately. As we wait to see how deeply The Crazy has infected the American electorate, here are a couple things I posted at ETS! in October with a few awesome video links reflecting on the ways that The Crazy is insinuating itself into American culture.

Early in the month, I posted this, calling attention to the brilliant Donald Duck Meets Glenn Beck cartoon video, & offering some thoughts on the challenges for progressive populism.

A few days ago I posted this round up of video clips looking at the rightward march of the Republican Party & its vanguard, the Tea Party — & the frightening prospect of a Tea Change in American politics. This features Keith Olberman’s litany of right-wing candidate lunacies, an Xtra Normal animation called “Hi, I’m a Tea-Partier,”  & political satirist-songwriter Roy Zimmerman’s “Vote Republican.” (For balance, I had to add The Onion’s assessment of the Democrat electoral strategy of  running away from any of their achievements in government from the past two years.)
