ooooookkkkkk....all I can really say once again is....let's all just quietly step back from the crazy person.
the irrational fears about iran just keep on rollin'
instead of the continued saber rattlin', it is time to try something completely different: apologize to iran. let's start there.
it would give a fresh start, and go a long way to normalizing relations. the moderate iranians would be strengthened, who are the key to a future relationship with--a possible--iranian partner in the region.
the american extremism in the region only breeds extremism in the region. our hawks need their hawks and vice versa. cheney was ahmadinejad's greatest ally, just like he was osama bin laden's.

"The American Civil Liberties Union, which has generally been harshly critical of President George W. Bush and praiseworthy of President Barack Obama, has fired a torpedo across the Obama bow.
After the British High Court ruled that evidence of a British resident's rendition and harsh interrogation at the Pentagon's Guantanamo Bay prison must remain secret because of threats made by the Bush administration to halt intelligence sharing, the Obama Administration offered a terse statement seemingly expressing support to the BBC.
"The United States thanks the UK government for its continued commitment to protect sensitive national security information and preserve the long-standing intelligence sharing relationship that enables both countries to protect their citizens," a spokesman said.
In response, the ACLU's executive director, Anthony Romero, shot off a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking the Obama Administration to clarify their position. Romero also issued a sharply-worded three sentence statement to the press, saying Obama has now offered "more of the same."
MORE OF THE SAME
either the admin is an active partner in trying to re-establish justice/rule of law, or they are complicit in the cover-up
Yeps.
Change...you can Deceive In.
for your "Holy Crap" section, to which I look forward during the week.
"Faith-based initiatives" my ass.
Not only do churches escape their fair share of taxes, but the govt. gives them MY tax dollars.
When my band plays on the First Friday Artwalk here in PHX tonight, some born-again nitwit will invariably ask for me to play "Amazing Grace" on my bagpipes.
To which I reply,"Oh, I'm sorry, but I no longer play that tune without a $20 donation. Since I am obligated to tithe your church through my tax dollars I feel that you already have gotten enough of me."
And they actually pay it!
I usually promise them that I'll spend their contribution in a spiritual way by spending it on whiskey.
Heh heh...
here (yahoo) and here (CNN).
598,000 jobs lost in January. The simple unemployment rate number is given as is 7.6 % but a more telling number including the under employed and those who have given up looking for work is given as 13.9 %. Scary numbers.
Every month a major city worth of jobs disappear.
Here David Kelly of JPMorgan Chase says it is a 'wait and see' economy (03:00 in the clip). He wants a stimulus bill.
Meanwhile the DJIA goes up.
Q Why does a socialist pay close attention to the capitalist's boom and bust.
A Because the capitalists will want a bailout when they go bust.
Elsewhere:
The 'Bad Bank' idea stinks and now it sinks. But a Cash for trash guarantee floats. Bloomberg here.
The '
Bailout'SWINDLE continues to look exactly like Paulson's Plunder.Marc Faber says nationalize the banks, use public money to buy GOOD assets and leave the bad assets to the equity and bond holders. Here
There is an idea I might be able to live with.
Stick the Capitalists with their crap, and leave the Government (we the peons) with a GOOD BANK.
Instead the government wants to lower our standard of living (we the peons) for the next twenty years (or more) in order to keep their cronies in clover.
peter Schiff, who predicted all this mess over year ago, says this new Stimulus/recovery bill pushed by CIC Obama will lead us further into Depression.

The solution isn't more spending, the solution is to let the market flush out all the bad debt - but the banks/Fed won't let us see it.
Thanks for the link!
And here's hoping the LA Police improves. It's easier not to beat up people you know are innocent than to pay out millions afterwards.
Save me Kurt, save me from my homosexual hell! Please, Christian concern troll..
