Trying to understand what what Reid and Angle might really be saying

Sharron Angle will speak in her native tongue known as Angleish while Harry Reid will converse in his preferred dialect known as Reidspeak. The moderator is about to begin: Moderator: Lets start with The Economy. Ms. Angle, who do you think is responsible for the terrible economy? Angle (smiles broadly): We have the highest...

How (and why) the media made Terry Jones a star
When Gen. David Petraeus first spoke out against Pastor Terry Jones' planned Quran burning in a Wall Street Journal article published Monday, the story exploded in the U.S. media, going from a sideshow to the dominant national media controversy of the week. As Yahoo News reported , it was on the front page of more than 50 Newspapers Thursday -- more than the total number of members of Jones' fringe Florida church. Critics of the American media's coverage of the Quran-burning saga are loud...

Woah! Obama Added More to Debt in First 19 Months Than All Presidents From Washington to Reagan COMBINED
WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. You may have thought things were bad under Obama… You had no idea. Obama is the worst jobs president since the Great Depression. The Obama-Pelosi economic plan resulted in a cumulative 7.5 million jobs Deficit . By every objective measure the democrats Trillion dollar Stimulus bomb was a complete disaster. Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi tripled the National Deficit last Year by nearly a Trillion dollars - something unheard of in our nation’s...

A Show of Tolerance In An Unlikely Place
Marty Aussenberg (f/k/a "Gadfly"), previously a columnist for the alternative newsweekly, The Memphis Flyer, is a lawyer in Memphis, Tennessee. He was, at one time, an attorney in the enforcement division of the SEC in Washington, D.C., when its good reputation was still intact. I live in a City that has a history many outsiders like to rub its nose in. I admit, the Assassination of an icon of the Civil Rights movement is not something you want your City to be known for (though Dallas and LA...

How Proud are Democrats of Their Obamacare Votes? Proud Like Chickens!
A handful of House Democrats are making Health Care Reform an election year issue by running against it. At least five of the 34 House Democrats who voted against their partys Health Care Reform Bill are highlighting their no votes in ads back home. By contrast, party officials in Washington cant identify a single House member whos running an ad boasting of a yes vote despite the fact that 219 House Democrats voted in favor of final passage in March. One...

GetEqual, LGBT advocates give Rep. George Miller, Nancy Pelosi agita over broken ENDA promises
It's been a bit quiet on the direct action front and so I was wondering who/what GetEQUAL's next targets would be. This time it comes in twos. George Miller Protest Last Night Last night there was an action, organized in conjunction with One Struggle One Fight and AFL-CIO's Pride at Work (its LGBT group), where members staged a Protest during the debate between Rep. George Miller (D-CA), chairman of the U.S. House Education and Labor Committee, and his Republican opponent. The debate at...

More of Haley Barbour's incredible American history
Haley Barbour's at it Again.  Last week, Rachel Maddow Fact-checked Barbour when he claimed he was part of the Southern generation that turned Republican because it was done with segregation. She cited it as an example of Rovian politics--attacking Obama's strength by trying to portray his Republican opponents as the real "post-racialists", much in the same spirit as Glenn Beck, trying to steal MLK's dream. I picked up on that in my diary, "What happened???" where I compared the 1956...

Believe!
Take the Tea Party. Its members attach themselves superficially to the 1950's faux image of God and Country and a Morality that never really existed. They wear funny hats and listen attentively to people who are obviously full of sh*t as they invoke Jesus, Mary and George Washington with a whimpering sniffle. Dick Armey and the rest of the puppet masters pulling the strings tell the faithful, "your taxes are too high!" And the faithful answer, "our taxes are too high!" They are told, "you...

In the first 19 months of the Obama Administration, the federal Debt held by the public increased by $2.5260 Trillion, which is more than the cumulative total of the National Debt held by the public that was amassed by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan. And: Do we always have to be the last to know ?

Ideology helps make Obama stubborn on taxes
President Barack Obama’s just-departed Budget chief, Peter Orszag, thinks all the Bush-era Tax Cuts should be temporarily extended to bolster the weak U.S. economy. So does Mark Zandi, the go-to private Economist of congressional Democrats. But Obama still vows to let high-end Rates go higher again ASAP. His thinking is as much politics as Economics. The White House position, reiterated by the president in a Speech on Wednesday in Ohio, is that while the 2001 and 2003 Tax Cuts for the...

Darkness and Light - By James Traub
On Aug. 1, 2007, I heard Barack Obama, whose presidential candidacy was feeling increasingly quixotic, deliver a Foreign-policy Speech in Washington. The Speech would become instantly famous for Obama's chesty declaration that as president he would attack "high-value" Terrorists in Pakistan even without Pakistani approval. That was the red meat; but it wasn't the theme, and it wasn't what I recalled later.

U.S. Urges Iraqis to Try New Plan To Share Power
New York Times: Washington The Obama Administration is encouraging a major new Power-Sharing arrangement in Iraq that could retain Nuri Kamal al-Maliki as Prime Minister but in a coalition that would significantly curb his authority. The Compromise plan was promoted in Baghdad last week by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., though at a time when American influence is waning and the United States continues to draw down Troops. The new plan would alter the structure of Iraqs Government...

It's Official: Anger in the Muslim World Should Drive Our Policies
President Obama , General Petraeus , and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf are all agreed. If Americans burn the Koran or decline to accept the Park 51 Mosque, there could be an explosion of anger in the Muslim World and people could get hurt. Its a matter, says, Rauf, of National Security. Obama, by implication, agrees with him. The choices in question are separate and unrelated, in spite of Terry Jones drive-by implication today that theres a link. Burning the Koran is inherently...

Barbour: There's 'Not Much Known' About Obama's Childhood And College Years
Now you know what to get Haley Barbour for Christmas -- a copy of President Obama's 1995 Memoir. Barbour, the Republican Governor of Mississippi flirting with a presidential bid in 2012, told reporters today that Americans know less about President Obama than "any other president in history." Reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor this morning asked Barbour why so many voters wrongly think Obama is Muslim. Barbour said it's surely no "vast Right-Wing Conspiracy," and...

M. Zuhdi Jasser: Questions for Imam Rauf from an American Muslim
By M. ZUHDI JASSER After a long absence while controversy over the Mosque near Ground Zero smoldered, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf finally held forth this week both in the New York Times and on CNN. Imam Rauf and his supporters are clearly more interested in making a Political statement in relation to Islam than in the Mosque's potential for causing community division and pain to those who lost loved ones on 9/11. That division is already bitterly obvious. As someone who has been involved in...

Are We Going To Send A Hero To His Death?
Mosab Hassan Yousef says he will be killed if he is deported from the United States to the West Bank. The oldest son of one of Hamas' founders, he was an Israeli spy for a decade, and he abandoned Islam for Christianity, either of which calls for his death! About four months ago his memoirs were published. In those memoirs he stated that he was one of the Shin Bet (Israeli) Security Agency’s best assets and was dubbed The Green Prince, a reference to his Hamas pedigree and the...

What Is President Obama's Fiscal Message?
By Simon Johnson President Obama is finally attempting to Cut through some of the disinformation and confusion that surrounds US fiscal policy in general and taxes in particular. His suggestion this week is: lets (effectively) raise taxes on relatively high income people by letting the Bush Tax Cuts expire for those people while introducing temporary Tax Breaks that will more directly stimulate business investment and presumably hiring. Any way you Cut it, the numbers involved...

Right-wing media concoct Clinton attack on Obama
Clinton's National Security remarks -- in context -- clearly condemn Bush spending policies Clinton: "[I]t is fair to say that ... we fought two wars without paying for them, and we had Tax Cuts that were not paid for either, and that has been a very deadly combination to fiscal sanity and responsibility." During a September 8 appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations, Clinton stated that the "rising Debt levels poses a National Security threat" and criticized President Bush's...
