Denial (Nile) is a river in Egypt. Repubs are not part of the crowd voters don’t like?

Reprise: On 8 July we published an homage to the Left’s Rottweiller Keith Olbermann, the right went apoplectic as the article had 300,000 hits in 4 hours.
Keith is my kind of guy. Creative, completely unmanageable, he says what he feels in the moment and wears his outrage like his very large heart on his 6’ [...]

by Charley James
As a progressive, one of the things that I appreciate about MSNBC’s evening line-up is that although its people have a liberal point-of-view, they stick to actual facts rather than slide down into the slimy half-truths and outright lies that Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and the other on Fox’s right wing mouthpiece network [...]

Toto (John McCain and Barack Obama) grabbed at his pants leg as his voice boomed, “I am the Great and Powerful Financial Oz!” Or so Hank Paulson, former CEO of Goldman Sachs wanted to say while his puppet, still President George W. Bush made a 2-minute appearance and his surrogates warned Democrats to [...]

CNN’s Campbell Brown made headlines by asking tough questions of a McCain surrogate, letting the poor guy twist and embarrass himself, continually counter-punching with the same unanswered question. It was brutal and much needed (like the poor guy eviscerated by Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball trying to label Obama an appeaser like Chamberlain in WWII [...]

About The UKProgressive

UK Progressive began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign. It replaced two blogs: "Outside the Boundaries" (dedicated to US/UK Politics and Business) and "Fire the Guru!" an expose of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly known as The Vadimus Post from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'

We publish from a 19th century hilltop farmhouse in Monknash on the South Wales Glamorgan Heritage Coast. US-journalist Denis Campbell, based in The Netherlands and UK for 12-years is the publisher/editor. You can follow his live news feed on Facebook.com (Denis Campbell) and Twitter @UKProgressive.

UK Progressive is a free service. I cringe every time I hear a pbs, truthout or npr never-ending appeal for money. They make much more than we do. We're not your mother, we'll skip the guilt trip.
