The kerfuffle in the corporate mainstream media (CMM) over homosexual marriage is jejune. Beaten to the soundbite by his
opportunistic Vice President, the Obamanator "evolved" overnight to
rake in more campaign money from rich people living unconventional--some would say unchristian--lifestyles. It is evolution of the Washington kind, and intended to keep the voters
unfocused on the real issues confronting the state, most of which are intractable given the idealogical and structural deadlock that immobilizes our federal government. One of the most prominent homosexual politicians in Washington Barney Frank (D-MA), who will retire from the House of Representatives this year, said he would not invite the Obamanator to his same sex marriage blaming the absence of an invitation on the President's
intimidating security entourage, not ideology or sexual orientation.

Furthur: We may
"all be Greeks now", but Greek voters made their displeasure with neo-liberal
hacks desperate to extract more wealth for their bankster overlords known at the ballot box. The left coalition party, Syriza, was the big winner, while the Socialist party (PASOK) that backed EU imposed austerity measures, the big looser. PASOK lost 119 MPs. Syriza campaigned on a platform to immediately suspend debt repayment for a period of three to five years, cancel austerity measures imposed since 2010, and nationalize a significant part of the Greek banking sector. Syriza now has 52 MPs up from 13, and is seeking to put together a
coalition of the left-center to govern. The election results are seen by pundits and markets--the DAX responded negatively--as an unequivocal repudiation of the EU bailout.
