In the Tank 2

In the midst of a larger post about one of his favorite subjects,* one in which he has expertise, Dick Destiny pens the ultimate definition of “Republican Think Tanks.”

Heritage Foundation was never a think tank. It’s just another propaganda mill funded by wealth to provide convenient studies and experts for the worst GOP impulses.

*That is, fear-mongering about made-up technological threats in pursuit of consultancy contracts.

    It’s a happy event that this ripped a good bloody hole in Robert Rector, too, as he’s the guy we often saw passed off in the mainstream media as having “studies” that proved the social safety net is way too large and that the poor really aren’t poor because they have flat screen televisions.

    They are starting to believe their own lies.  That way lies danger.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
