Meet the (Third Party) Candidates: Jill Stein

Green party candidate for president Jill Stein.  Democrats believe she’s the Yoko Ono of the presidential race.  Donald Trump believes she’s...yet another faceless disgusting woman who probably has periods.  Both major parties would like you to think she’s some sort of dreadlock-y hippie that isn’t worth your time.  If corporate shills and/or flat out insane people aren’t your cup of tea, join us as we meet our first of the two major third party candidates and dive a little deeper into this thing called democracy!

BTL #191 - The Euphamism - 3/7/16

This week on a special bi-coastal BTL, all hell breaks loose in the GOP primary in an ever-mounting flurry of desperate party maneuvers and bizarre Donald Trump quotes.  Christ Christie has been kidnapped and cannot be saved so let's not worry about him anymore, but is anybody going to tell Rubio that his time might be up?  Also, a rowdy Democratic Debate in Flint, MI, election results from all the "super" election days a person could ask for, CPAC, Ted Cruz's booger-eating, and so much more!  How is it possible that every week tops the last?  We're exhausted, you guys, but we do it all for you!

Why We SHOULD Memorialize Hugo Chavez (We’re Talking To You, Thinkprogress)

Why We SHOULD Memorialize Hugo Chavez (We’re Talking To You, Thinkprogress)

In memorializing Chavez we are not memorializing any of his specific domestic policies, his friendship with Ahmadinejad, or any of the many short-sighted things a man operating a cult-of-personality-based government is bound to say and do.  What we are memorializing is resistance, specifically resistance to the long-term US economic imperialism that has dominated the region. Also we’re memorializing the fact that he had a weekly TV show called “Hello, President” in which he sings.  We here at BTL can’t stress enough that more world leaders need to be doing this.
