Basic Economic Math for U.S. Americans (re: Taxes, Revenues, Debts, Deficits, and Defaults)

Remember when you were in the seventh, or maybe eight grade, and your teacher came in and said you were going to learn something called “Algebra”?   Remember how you were all like, “What could I possibly ever need to know this for?!  I’m never going to need to know this stuff!”. Guess what?  This week [...]

Moderate Debt Ceiling Rant

I’ll let this guy speak for his own self. Couple other links on the topic…these are largely the symptoms of the above phenomenon. Here’s some general background reading on the changes happening during the period ranted about. Remember how Wisconsin was broke and teachers needed to take a pay and rights cut to balance the [...]

That cinches it, we totally need waaay bigger tax cuts for the rich

Here’s the news, unsurprising to those who follow this sort of stuff…  WASHINGTON — The income gap between the richest and poorest Americans grew last year to its widest amount on record as young adults and children in particular struggled to stay afloat in the recession.  The top-earning 20 percent of Americans — those making [...]

It’s time to cut off all aid to Israel (period)

U.S. Confirms Citizen Shot Dead in Gaza Flotilla Raid http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=atkYRIaRZWSw I really don’t like the idea of foreign governments (caught spying on the U.S. repeatedly) summarily executing U.S. citizens. So far the Obama administration’s reaction to this massacre has been pathetic. Cut off funding, totally, then talk to them again (after they stop building settlements).

Hate the liberal media? Hate Fox News? Then stop them

https://secure.eff.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=451 You won’t see a lot a corporate media coverage on this one (ACTA) as it a) puts them in the spotlight and b) gives them a TON more power. And don’t let folks confuse this issue with net neutrality, which is a completely different beast. Here’s what this does… Just look at some of [...]

The Audacity of a New Hope

The Audacity of a New Hope — The Audacity of a New Hope This post is more just a general clearinghouse of some of the more interesting articles I’ve come across lately, and a bit of a call for a ray of hope, somewhere along down the line. First up is this diatribe by Camille [...]

Let’s Clear the Desktop First.

I’ve been a bit lax (ha!) in keeping up the blog lately.  My apologies for withholding from you. As mentioned previously, the saving the world bit is on the tiring side, and the writing stuff is on the high energy side, and seldom did the ‘twain meet. When one is pouring all of one’s emotional [...]

It’s Time to Turn, Turn, Turn and Look at Rick Perry’s Hair

So I heard from the Byrds (via the Bible) that things turn, turn, turn. Here’s the Byrds… And here’s the Bible… 16 ¶ And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 17 I said in mine heart, God shall [...]

Every Day is a Gift (Even for Republicans)

I put together this little video the other day to try and make a point.   During the video I hold up a particular book that talks about, generally, some of the stuff I am gettting at in the video.  Here’s the vid… After I had created the video (which I recorded on Valentine’s Day) I [...]
