Comrades! Celebrate in your own excrement! WE HAVE DONE IT! And when I say we, I mean we at the Punchenko Group for Media Excellence!

They said we could'nt do it! They said we would fail! We did FAIL! And through that failure the Gulagosphere™ came into being, a network of progress wraping it's cold tentacles around any thought or reason and then VICIOUSLY SUFFOCATING IT TO DEATH!

Comrades, I Chairman Meowsevich S. Punchenko and the Punchenko Group for Media Excellece proudly present to you a home of true un-afraid progressive punditry! We give you....

Contemplate...Amerikan Progress!

I've accepted the call to progressive arms comrades! WILL YOU? Help grow the Gulagosphere™!

:: UPDATE ::

Ugh, I don't know how to tell the collective this, whew, stay strong Meow, stay strong. OK, Contemplating-Amerikan-Progress has gone bankrupt. Yes, we have filed chapter 11 and are currently "revamping" our infrastructure. OK, thats all BS. The bottom line is we are just out of soft ca$h. This whole non-person shouting out his opinion has caused us great financial trouble, our donors are backing out due to the failure of Air Amerika and the looming right-wing bltiz because of non-person. On the brightside though, my baby The Punchenko Media Collective will endure, some how some way I will find a way to salvage my esteemed panel of progressive journalist,pundits and actorvist's. I would have them purged to get out of paying them for their time, but to my dismay Al Frankenfurter already set a precedent of "gimme my damn 300k". I am sorry, I apologize and yes, I will be stuffing my pockets with all the investment ca$h and will divert the bulk to Her Excellency.

PRAISE STALIN FOR POTEMKIN PROGRESSIVE MEDIA, HOW WOULD I GET RICH WITHOUT IT!

Wonderful, comrade Chairman. I believe that you can never have too many left-leaning blogs. Remember, it helps to say something along the lines of "I completely agree with Kos when he said____" at least once week.

Make sure that Jestin is always wearing a bowtie in these panel discussions. It helps identify the rightist-fascist among the more enlightened members of the group.

Mr. Jestin is a pig, a war criminal and an enemy of progress, he is lucky to sit with me and my enlightened panel of progressive elites.

True enough but just like back in the glorious days of the Fairness Doctrine, we should always have one bowtie wearing KKKonservative on our discussion panels. That way, when we are unfairly accused of "bias" (and so what if we ARE biased?) we can point to the bound and gagged, bowtie wearing fascist and say "Uh, uh... what about him?".

To any other Revolutionary bloggers, a warning: Make sure that your token KKKonservative doesn't actually represent "mainstream" KKKonsevative thought. Find a "fringe voice" and present him or her as "typical".

LOL! I have one in mind, does daily dish ring a bell? anyone, anyone at all?

There should also be a token prole there to add counterbalance to the bow tie guy...someone who yearns to feed his family of four on a reasonable minimum wage (say $50k), have all his family's medical and dental free, and doesn't mind taxing the f*** out of anyone who actually does something for a living that contributes to society in a positive manor, like $.$. Haliburton and Joe Average American (both Enemy of the People).

end of rant...

Does the Gulagosphere require daily sacrifices to keep it running?

Not really. Just occasional seizures of wealth and property from random rightist-fascists keep the wheels turning right now.

Indeed, or we become political action commitees and attach the magic three numbers 5-2-7.

I thought the majikal three numbers were 666....

yeah, they are "majikal" too, but the Party likes 527 alot better. More evil can be done with 527.

5-2-4 were the majik three numbers in the Kelo vs. City of New London decision by the Supreme Court of Amerika...can't we use some leverage here to gain some valuable and most needed office space for Gulagosphere Central? I'm thinking of the entire property at 1st Avenue near 46th in NYC 10017.

I posted an update. YaY!

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Perhaps we can co-op the Gulagosphere Central Offices and the Ministry of Truth...what a glorious new use for this wasted property!!
