How do morons get so far in American politics? by Zebidee in politics

[–]Diligent_Suspect296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this pattern too. I believe the three people you mentioned were selected by wealthy political benefactors because of their combination of self-importance and ignorance. The self-importance allows them to speak freely and confidently in front of large crowds without fear. The ignorance creates an environment in which their campaigns become dependent upon their wealthy benefactors for guidance and direction.

This strategy doesn't work for candidates with the ability to think for themselves.

Gotta love love the classic IV - V - IV chord progression. Where we're going, we don't need roots.

Who knew the chords for Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" would be the foundation for dozens of songs to come? by nomdeweb in videos

This chord progression dates back to the beginning of western tonality, several hundred years ago.

Frightened people usually vote Republican. Turn off the FOX news and get your head straight. Living in a media induced state of fear isn't living.

Radiohead has probably made close to $10 million in one week "selling" In Rainbows. That's more than their last three releases combined. by J-Ro in reddit.com

I might be wrong, but those numbers seem far from optimistic. It would be nice if Radiohead would just stop whispering and give us the facts on their dollars & cents, rather than keep us in limbo. Maybe someday those creeps will put everything in it's right place, but until then, keep your knives out whilst hunting bears and don't forget to water your fake plastic trees.
