I was just preparing to enjoy one of my last doses of NFL football for the year and heard the very familar and comforting voice of Mike Rowe selling large trucks. If you aren’t familiar with the fellow, here’s the wiki bio. He also did/does a fun little show called Dirty Jobs. As the United [...]
This Week in the Police State…
First up…the Comitatas Posse is back in town, militarizing the homeland. WASHINGTON — The Senate voted Tuesday to keep a controversial provision to let the military detain terrorism suspects on U.S. soil and hold them indefinitely without trial — prompting White House officials to reissue a veto threat. The measure, part of the massive National [...]
After reading RPN, Republicans realize one politician’s “spending” is many thousands of people’s “jobs”
SPIN METER: GOP flips on job creation for defense http://m.cecilwhig.com/mobile/news/national_news/article_ec8924de-08b4-11e1-8970-001cc4c03286.html Consider the latest argument from Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee as lawmakers stare down at least $450 billion in cuts from projected defense spending over the next 10 years. Running for re-election, Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., said in February 2010 that the [...]
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 [...]
Stock Market Crush
Well, it wasn’t a crash like I predicted, but it does look pretty much like a crush. This is a chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average from July 21st-27th. Something to note about the graph…note the huge drops due to “overnight” trading (those are the big gaps where the DJIA opens well lower than [...]
Penis, Palin, and Policy
UPDATE: Near the end of the video I mention the Republican 2012 Presidential campaign strategy (alleged). It seems to be working… Unless shares rally, they are on track for a sixth straight weekly loss — longest losing streak since the fall of 2002. The market’s last seven-week stretch of losses began in May 2001, as [...]
Ron Paul figures fifth time is the charm…
…he’s still wrong. The news: Ron Paul, the patriarch of the libertarian stream in GOP politics, will announce on Tuesday that he is forming a presidential exploratory committee, taking a step to join the Republican nomination sweepstakes. Paul, who will be 76 in August, has served about 20 years in the House representing districts in [...]
The Short History of False Rumors and Those Who Believe Them
This little lie has been fun to watch worm it’s way around the world. I’ve seen this happen before, and since I’m sure it will happen again, I’d like to point out exactly how this stuff happens, and what exactly it results in (well, we saw that last Tuesday, but I digress a wee bit early). [...]
U.S. Occupation of Iraq More Than Doubles Poverty, Sickness — Leaves Country a Total Disaster
http://www.alternet.org/module/printversion/147928 – According to the U.S. Census of 2000, 80 percent of the 285 million people living in the United States are urban dwellers. Those living in slums are well below 5 percent. If we translate the Iraqi statistic into the U.S. context, 121 million people in the United States would be living in slums. [...]
Congrats, Assholes. You won.
Read this comment today. Figured it was pretty honest about the whole thing, and certainly reflects what I would feel. So congrats, assholes hoping for a generations long war against most of the world, you are one step closer to that goal.
