I have been reading articles written by Leila Fadel in Iraq. She is the Baghdad bureau chief for McClatchy Company. It's harrowing stuff. Here is a link to ten of her stories that won her the Polk Award.

Mrs. Leila Bait?

Yeah, I hear ya, but I'll vote green. She & McSame=same peas, different podsuit. She is lying every time she opens her mouth. With McInsane, we'll get nuclear madness almost immediately; with her, it will take a little longer, possibly long enough for those of modest means to escape the country. She has been appointed/annointed by the Bildersludges, as was Bill (who turned every promise upthefucksidedown). It's in "the plan."

Tell me who's running this failing empire: the banksters. Where else would a stock market rise when all the workers are layed off and the owner walks away with billions for ruining his company?

Of course, I also say that Obama won't be much different, if, godwilling, he lives long enough to actually be sworn in. He's also bought and sold. This country is toast, my friends. Uh, actually, of course, only if you can afford toast. And you ain't seen nothin' yet. Gather up seeds--sprouts, if you have water, will soon be all we have to eat unless you fancy GMO poison. I guess it's also a good time to wish you'd popped out hundreds of babies--so that now they're of an age to sit still and fire upon intruders stealing your last tomato.

Cheers, yeah, right.

Hillary's $1.5 million gift to Calvin Butts came from three of her earmarks in the fiscal year 2008. She had a lot of them. In fact, between 2002 and 2006, Clinton secured more than $2.2 billion in earmarks, many of them attached to defense-spending bills, where she has unusual influence as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Hillary succeeded in securing twenty-six earmarks to the 2008 defense bill worth a total of $148 million — a number that dwarfed that of any Democrat except committee chairman Carl Levin. Barack Obama, by contrast, had only one request attached to the defense bill.

Hillary's defense earmarks benefited some of the world's largest weapons producers, many of which have factories in New York. Among the most prominent include Northrop Grumman, which Hillary singled out for $6 million to develop a new radar system; Plug Power, for whom Hillary secured $3 million for a backup power system for Pentagon operations; and Telephonics, which Hillary gave $5 million for an intercom system for Black Hawk helicopters.

Her biggest coup of all was a multi-billion-dollar contract she helped to secure for Lockheed Martin to build the Marine One presidential helicopter — a project derided by insiders as a typical example of Pentagon waste. "Oh, the presidential-helicopter thing is a classic boondoggle," says one congressional source. "They could have taken any old Black Hawk helicopter, put a nice interior in it and a decal on it, and it would've been OK. Instead, we got this thing that costs four times as much. It's nuts."

Indeed, the Pentagon confirmed in March that the helicopter Hillary made sure would be built at Lockheed's plant in Owego, New York, would, in fact, cost $400 million per unit — more than the modified Boeing 747 used as Air Force One. You heard right: $400 million for a single fucking helicopter.

Whazzz shakin'?

it'll be good for her. (hopefully)

AND a thermos!

I know Hillary will stoop to any low to win, but when she used that word in a derogatory fashion, something straight out of Rove's handbook, there's no way in hell I want her as the Democratic nominee. She would probably just do a Kerry flop against McCain if she did get the nomination anyway.

Like was said in the 'Get your war on' comic, if "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", then I'll be an elitist.

So is there a feeling in NY among Democrats there that Hillary should be challenged in her next Senate primary?

that's a good call in question for Sam on sunday.

South Africans block Chinese weapons shipment to Zimbabwe

South African dock workers refused to unload the delivery for the desperate Robert Mugabe and the South African courts backed up the dock workers. The Chinese ship has since left Durban, South Africa and rumored to be heading for Mozambique. The shipment may unload in Mozambique (if dock workers again refuse) though it's a poor government so they may end up allowing passage. The problem there is that after decades of war, roads in Mozambique are difficult and drop off quickly outside of the city. Will the Chinese weapons make it in time to be distributed to Mugabe's thugs before his government folds or will the Chinese weapons be used to kill even more people?

A warm welcome to yet another record high with oil prices. I'd say it's safe to say that the $115 support level has been thoroughly tested and it folded faster than Iraqi troops in Basra. Oil closed at $116.79, with $120 looking like an easy target. See what happens when you let industry choose the energy policy of a country?

There is something so wrong about the recent surge from the Dow which celebrated 9,000 job cuts from Citi just after 3,000 from Merrill Lynch. Strange days, though strange days tend to meet reality sooner or later. I'm thinking sooner.

Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards took over the Wørd segment from Stephen Colbert to discuss the all important demographic in this election: white, male voters. And who better to talk about their values than Edwards?

You know, Stephen, you’re right about white males playing an important part in this election. Their votes are being courted as a demographic tiebreaker between these two tough candidates and no white male’s vote is being courted more vigorously than this one. [points to self]

It is no secret that both campaigns have sought my support. So far, I haven’t decided which of these excellent candidates I’m going to endorse. On the one hand, I don’t want to be seen as anti-hope. On the other hand, I don’t want James Carville to bite me. So who? Who am I going to vote for in the next to the last primary, North Carolina? Well, I’ll support whoever presents a platform that’s consistent with my values. I’ll support the candidate who’ll raise the federal minimum wage. Someone who’ll fight for the 37 million Americans who wake up in poverty every day. Somebody who’ll protect the interest of working families. Also, I’d like a jet-ski.

Billionaire Texas oil man makes big bets on wind By Chris Baltimore
Fri Apr 18, 9:00 AM ET

Legendary Texas oil man T. Boone Pickens has gone green with a plan to spend $10 billion to build the world's biggest wind farm. But he's not doing it out of generosity - he expects to turn a buck.

The Southern octogenarian's plans are as big as the Texas prairie, where he lives on a ranch with his horses, and entail fundamentally reworking how Americans use energy.

Next month, Pickens' company, Mesa Power, will begin buying land and ordering 2,700 wind turbines that will eventually generate 4,000 megawatts of electricity - the equivalent of building two commercial scale nuclear power plants - enough power for about 1 million homes.

"These are substantial," said Pickens, speaking to students at Georgetown University on Thursday. "They're big."

Pickens knows a thing or two about big. He heads the BP Capital hedge fund with over $4 billion under management, and earned about $1 billion in 2006 making big bets on commodity and equity markets.

Though a long-time oil man, Pickens said he has embraced the call for cleaner energy sources that don't emit heat-trapping greenhouse gases.

"I'm an environmentalist - I can pass the saliva test," he said.

But Pickens is not out to save the planet. He intends to make money.

Though Pickens admits that wind power won't be as lucrative as oil deals, he still expects the Texas project to turn at least a 25 percent return.

"When I go into these markets, I expect to make money on them," Pickens said. "I don't expect to lose."

America is facing a looming power crunch, with electricity demand expected to grow 15 percent in a decade. And while many states have rejected big coal-fired power projects on environmental concerns, they are offering a bounty of incentives to build renewable sources.

'60s Radical Bill Ayers Now Mainstream
Washington Post: Obama Was Asked About Former Weather Underground Member At Debate
Comments 79
CHICAGO, April 18, 2008

In the 1960s, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn saw themselves as urban guerrillas who just might be able to overthrow the U.S. government and force an end to the Vietnam War. They were members of the Weather Underground, a radical offshoot of the antiwar movement, who went into hiding for a decade after a bomb accidentally exploded, killing three members of the group.

Nearly 30 years after surrendering to police, Ayers and Dohrn, both in their 60s, are tenured university professors whose work on school reform and juvenile justice have won them bipartisan respect.

Ayers is an informal adviser to Mayor Richard M. Daley and has been awarded more than $50 million in charitable grants for his promotion of small schools as a solution to a crisis in education. Dohrn lectures widely on children's law and serves on a variety of boards and committees. Together, they have raised three boys in the intellectual haven of Hyde Park, where Sen. Barack Obama is a neighbor.

For months, their connection to the Democratic presidential candidate -- they hosted a gathering for him in 1995 when he first ran for the state Senate and later contributed $200 to his reelection campaign -- has been a source of growing anger among conservatives. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign picked up on the connection to suggest skeletons in Obama's closet. On Wednesday night in a televised debate with her rival, Clinton (N.Y.) mentioned it as "an issue that certainly the Republicans will be raising."

US Jewish lobby gains new voice

By Max Deveson
BBC News, Washington

Are liberal Jewish voices in America being drowned out by powerful conservative lobbyists? A group of prominent left-leaning Jewish-Americans thinks so.

"The term 'pro-Israel' has been hijacked by those who hold views that a majority of Americans, Jews and non-Jews alike, oppose," says executive director Jeremy Ben-Ami, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton.
[...]
The group is billing itself as a counterweight to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac), the most prominent Jewish lobbying organisation in the US.

J Street says Aipac does not reflect the liberal views of a large number of its existing donors, let alone the mainstream of Jewish-American opinion.

The role of the pro-Israeli lobby - and of Aipac itself - in American politics has been the subject of furious debate in recent years.
[...]
"The most pro-Israel thing any American politician or policy maker can do is help to bring about a two-state solution and a comprehensive peace agreement between Israel and her neighbours," says Mr Ben-Ami.

No threat

Although Aipac have not publicly commented on J Street's launch, they are - perhaps unsurprisingly - not thought to be particularly supportive of the new group's aims.

Nor are they concerned that they will lose their pre-eminent position within the Jewish-American community.

"I believe that Aipac has very broad support and will continue to enjoy it," Malcolm Hoenlein of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, of which Aipac is a member, told the Washington Post newspaper.

Financially, J Street is certainly unlikely to pose a threat to Aipac.

Its first-year budget of $1.5m (£750,000) will be no match for Aipac, which has an endowment of more than $100m (£50m), over 100,000 members and 18 offices around the US.

J Street hopes that its voice will be amplified by some of its more high-profile backers, including former senator Lincoln Chafee.

SAN FRANCISCO - Just as a collective of tribes is pushing for federal legislation in favor of tribal-led wind energy projects, a Native company is posed to launch an unprecedented effort to help tribes to become principal owners of turbines.

The Seattle-based company, Native Green Energy, will debut its first endeavor in April in Maine, where it has been working with the Passamaquoddy tribe to install two 100-kilowatt turbines that would power 50 homes on a private grid and allow the tribe to sell back additional energy to private utilities.

The company has already won the backing of some state legislatures and plans next to launch a 2.2-megawatt turbine for a Michigan gaming tribe.

''We're setting out to make a difference in Indian country,'' said company co-founder Litefoot, a Cherokee musician, actor and entrepreneur. ''We have responsibility from the Creator to take care of this earth and so we are harnessing these things the Creator has provided to sustain our communities.''

Jon Ahlbrand, company co-founder, said the potential for wind energy is blowing constantly across Indian country, but there remains a dire lack of suppliers that ''could bridge the gap'' between the private sector market and its renewable energy demands and tribal governments.

This presidential election season has generated considerable excitement around the nation. And there is a reason for it. It may well be the most important election of our lifetime. America faces grave challenges - a war, climate change, the economy, the lack of access to health care, to name a few - that cry out for solution. And, we also have a unique opportunity to change the direction of the country in a fundamental and transformative way.

Those of us in Indian country have a stake in the outcome of this presidential election at this critical time in the nation's politics. We have been following the campaign of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for the past year with special interest and have been impressed that Native Americans have always figured prominently in his campaign of inclusion.

Dear Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos,

It's hard to know where to begin with this, less than an hour after you signed off from your Democratic presidential debate here in my hometown of Philadelphia, a televised train wreck that my friend and colleague Greg Mitchell has already called, quite accurately, "a shameful night for the U.S. media." It's hard because - like many other Americans - I am still angry at what I just witnesses, so angry that it's hard to even type accurately because my hands are shaking. Look, I know that "media criticism" - especially when it's one journalist speaking to another - tends to be a genteel, colleagial thing, but there's no genteel way to say this.

With your performance tonight - your focus on issues that were at best trivial wastes of valuable airtime and at worst restatements of right-wing falsehoods, punctuated by inane "issue" questions that in no way resembled the real world concerns of American voters - you disgraced my profession of journalism, and, by association, me and a lot of hard-working colleagues who do still try to ferret out the truth, rather than worry about who can give us the best deal on our capital gains taxes. But it's even worse than that. By so badly botching arguably the most critical debate of such an important election, in a time of both war and economic misery, you disgraced the American voters, and in fact even disgraced democracy itself. Indeed, if I were a citizen of one of those nations where America is seeking to "export democracy," and I had watched the debate, I probably would have said, "no thank you." Because that was no way to promote democracy.

You implied throughout the broadcast that you wanted to reflect the concerns of voters in Pennsylvania. Well, I'm a Pennsylvanian voter, and so are my neighbors and most of my friends and co-workers. You asked virtually nothing that reflected our everyday issues - trying to fill our gas tanks and save for college at the same time, our crumbling bridges and inadequate mass transit, or the root causes of crime here in Philadelphia. In fact, there almost isn't enough space - and this is cyberspace, where room is unlimited - to list all the things you could have asked about but did not, from health care to climate change to alternative energy to our policy toward China to the deterioration of Afghanistan to veterans' benefits to improving education. You ignored virtually everything that just happened in what most historians agree is one of the worst presidencies in American history, including the condoning of torture and the trashing of the Constitution, although to be fair you also ignored the policy concerns of people on the right, like immigration issues.

Baghdad - A company of Iraqi government troops in Sadr City retreated when they came under attack from Shiite militiamen who used the cover of a sandstorm, police said Friday.

The clashes overnight killed two people and wounded nine, a police commander said. The officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to release the information, said it was unclear whether there were any casualties among the soldiers.

The reports of the latest setback for the Iraqi army come after government officials acknowledged that during fighting last month against Shiite militias in the southern city of Basra, more than 1,300 Iraqi soldiers and police deserted or refused to fight.

The police officer said militiamen belonging to the Mahdi Army of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr launched their attack shortly before midnight on army positions in Sadr City, a sprawling slum area of some 2.5 million people in eastern Baghdad.

The company responsible for that section withdrew, abandoning their positions, including their command post in al-Nasir police station, he said.

The officer did not know exactly how many troops were involved. An Iraqi infantry company normally has 150 men, but many in the field are undermanned and have only 80-90.

U.S. troops responded with artillery fire, but no helicopters or unmanned drones were sighted, the officer said.

The Iraqi military had no immediate comment, but a U.S. spokesman said the situation remained under control Friday.

"The Iraqi Army still holds their positions in Sadr City. They are currently under attack ... but are organizing a counterattack right now," Lt. Col. Steve Stover said in an e-mailed statement.

The attack in Sadr City occurred late Thursday while Baghdad was blanketed by one of the worst sandstorms in months. The thick clouds of dust reduced visibility and forced the closure of the international airport. It also appeared to affect military flights.

The World Needs More SEDER!

Officials want time to review protections. Critics smell oil issues.
Anchorage, Alaska - The Interior Department wants 10 more weeks to decide whether polar bears should be listed as threatened or endangered, a delay that conservation groups condemned as tied to the transfer of offshore petroleum leases in the animal's habitat.

On Jan. 9 the department missed a deadline for a final decision and three conservation groups sued. In the government response Thursday, Assistant Interior Secretary Lyle Laverty said the department needed until June 30 to complete a legal and policy review.

A spokeswoman for the Center for Biological Diversity immediately said that falls outside requirements of the Endangered Species Act.

"These are not questions for attorneys," said Kassie Siegel, the principal author on the petition seeking polar bear protections. "They're questions for scientists."

The petition seeks the measures because global warming threatens sea-ice habitat.

The request for more time, Siegel said, is probably a tactic to delay a decision until the Minerals Management Service can finish issuing offshore petroleum leases in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest shore, home to one of two polar bear populations in Alaska.

"There's no justification for the delay," she said. "Nothing they've put forward comes close to justifying it. They're just stalling."

The groups will ask for an agency decision no later than a week after a court hearing May 8 before U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilkin in Oakland.

Alaska has the only two polar bear populations in the United States, the Beaufort Sea group off the state's north coast and the Chukchi Sea group, shared with Russia.

Summer sea ice last year shrank to a record low, about 1.65 million square miles in September, nearly 40% less than the long-term average between 1979 and 2000. Some climate models have predicted the Arctic will be free of summer sea ice by 2030. A U.S. Geological Survey study predicted polar bears in Alaska could be wiped out by 2050.

A decision to protect polar bears because of global warming could trigger a recovery plan with consequences beyond Alaska. Opponents fear it would subject new power plants and other development projects to review if they generate greenhouse gases..

In the court filing, Laverty tied the delay to "the complexity of the legal and scientific issues," including the need to review about 670,000 public comments and USGS reports.

The service's Alaska office in December transmitted a draft final listing. In early February, Laverty wrote, the agency determined the draft "raised various factual and legal issues," and a new draft was prepared.

Laverty did not specify who revised the draft, Siegel said.

"They don't have any polar bear biologists in Washington, D.C.," she said.

OIL -OIL - & MORE OIL.

She and the last POTUS that I used to respect have probably sucked more money out of this town than O'Bama could dream of taking. When HillBilly was in the WH, they made countless visits to SF. Hell, James Carnyvalle even became a partner in a ritzy SF restaurant during their reign.

Wish I had seen it earlier. I stood behind Mayor Newsom, a prominent Hill'ry backer, at the 1906 earthquake remembrance at 5 AM yesteday and I would have asked him to tell her to knock it off. Former SF mayor and now Senator DINO Feinstein is also a big HRC supporter. If I could figure out how to actually get this through to her, I would

It just shows that these people will do anything and sink to any level at any cost to win and/or destroy the O'Bama candidacy. You have to believe that they intend leave him too damaged to win in November enabling another run in 2012 after 4 more years for repug chickens to come home to roost. However, a friend of mine pointed out to me last night that as unfair as it is, four years for a woman at that age will not be kind to Hill'ry, especially with all of that bitterness eating at her soul.

Rove blasts Abrams in 2,100-word diatribe.
In a more than 2,100-word letter containing 58 separate questions and written on April 13, Karl Rove blasted MSNBC’s Dan Abrams for reporting earlier this month on his alleged involvement in the politicized prosecution of former Alabama governor Don Siegelman, and for using the testimony of Republican operative Jill Simpson. Some excerpts:

– “Did you ever consider that the Governor’s security detail might have taken note of an ample-sized, redheaded woman who kept showing up at his events with a camera?”

– “In fact, it seems you believe that the absence of any concrete evidence is itself evidence of the conspiracy. If you don’t have any proof Karl Rove did it, that absence is proof enough. I am that good.”

– “As a matter of fact, I had other things to occupy my time in the White House in 2002 rather than ’structuring’ a campaign for an Alabama gubernatorial candidate.”

Perhaps it was at this point that Rove decided to reverse himself and refuse to testify before Congress on the matter.

It’s an energy policy that would seem to target coal, which produces half the country’s electricity but also nearly 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas, each year.

Instead, “clean coal” has become the mantra of both candidates. Some environmentalists are not too happy with that.

“They keep using the term ‘clean coal.’ That’s really an oxymoron,” snaps Brent Blackwelder, president of the environmental group Friends of the Earth. “They absolutely are pandering the coal industry’s propaganda that clean coal is the hope of the future. There’s no such animal as clean coal.”

Not all environmentalists are as critical, acknowledging that coal will remain an integral part of the country’s energy picture. The two Democratic presidential aspirants’ support for coal is outweighed by their strong push for renewable fuels and — unlike President Bush — their call for mandatory, economy-wide action on climate change.

“How they finesse things on the margin is up to them,” said Cathy Duvall, the Sierra Club’s national political director, as long as they also “talk about moving away from conventional coal … and putting money into and investing in a renewable energy economy that will provide jobs.”

Obama, by representing Illinois, a top 10 coal producing state, has a little more experience at it than Clinton. Fifteen months ago, he joined Republican coal-state Sen. Jim Bunning of Kentucky in calling for loan guarantees and tax breaks for coal-to-liquid processing plants.

Environmentalists protested and he modified his proposal to include a requirement that such plants have carbon-capture technology and produce 20 percent less greenhouse gases than conventional diesel fuel refineries.

In reality, there is little difference in the broad energy agendas of Obama and Clinton.

Both have endorsed Senate legislation that would cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 70 percent by mid-century through mandatory pollution limits on power plants, transportation and industry. Both have called for a $150 billion, 10-year clean-energy research and development program.

But neither has embraced the call by Al Gore and many Democrats in Congress for a moratorium on new coal burning power plants until carbon capture can be commercially developed.

The coal states are pivotal not only in the Democratic primary but also in the general election in November. Gore and John Kerry carried two of them — Pennsylvania and Illinois — in the last two presidential elections, but both lost to President Bush in West Virginia, historically a Democratic stronghold.

Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, also has endorsed a limit on greenhouse gases, although one less aggressive, but views continued coal use as imperative to meeting future energy needs.

At stops in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Montana and Wyoming, the Democratic rivals have been careful to tell voters they don’t want coal to disappear. Frequently they couch it in terms of clean, green energy development and jobs.

“We could invest in renewable sources of energy and in clean coal technology and create up to 5 million new green jobs in the bargain, including new clean coal jobs,” Obama declared at a stop in Charleston, W.Va.

Clinton also gave a nod to King Coal when she was in Charleston.

“I’ve been saying all along we should have clean coal, the cleanest coal possible,” she told a high school gymnasium crowd. “If we’re serious about investing in clean coal and clean energy, we can create 5 million new jobs in 10 years.”

Is it what coal producers and users want to hear?

“Absolutely,” said Joe Lucas, a vice president for the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity. “None of them are saying that we aren’t going to need coal.”

But Lucas, whose group is financed by coal companies, utilities and transportation interests, also compared the candidates’ pitches to their embrace of corn-produced ethanol in Farm Belt states such as Iowa.

At times, walking the line between coal and environmentalists hasn’t been easy, especially when the topic became mountaintop mining, a practice prevalent in West Virginia, where large areas of mountain tops are stripped away to reach the coal.

Clinton drew the ire of some environmentalists when in public radio interview there she said she was “concerned” about mountaintop mining but also viewed it as an “economic and environmental trade-off” that must be “looked at … from a practical perspective.”

Facing a group of environmentalists opposed to mountaintop mining at a meeting in the coal town of Beckley, W.Va., Obama also talked about the balance between economics and environmental protection.

“There are environmental consequences to coal extraction,” said Obama, “just as there are with any energy source.” That’s just what some of the mine workers in the audience wanted to hear.

McCain: ‘There’s Been Great Progress Economically’ Since Bush Took Office
Earlier this week, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) delivered a speech on the economy in which he outlined his ambitious plan to cut taxes and balance the budget. McCain’s plan would extend President Bush’s tax cuts, reduce corporate tax rates, repeal the alternative minimum tax (AMT), and increase exemptions for dependents.

But unfortunately for McCain, “economists and nonpartisan analysts” have dug deeper into the details of his plan and concluded that the numbers simply “don’t add up.” The offsets he proposes will not cover the estimated $3.3-$5.7 trilllion cost of the proposal and would end up ballooning the federal deficit. Bloomberg News reports:

“The huge imbalance” in McCain’s plan “is that the tax cuts are specific and large and the spending cuts are small and vague,” said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Washington- based Concord Coalition. […]

“This is really a massive increase in the deficit,” said Joel Slemrod, an economist specializing in tax policy at the University of Michigan. […]

Stan Collender, a former analyst for the House and Senate budget committees [… said] “there’s no way McCain could balance [his budget] by the time he leaves, unless he doesn’t leave for 25 years.”

shoo!! mr. SF over there!

Welcome the new aesthetic of Barack Obama, the left wing ideologue. The signs have long been there, for those with the eyes to see them.

It is no accident that Obama has become the candidate of the Democrats' left wing fringe, typified by the Daily Kos crowd, despite his continuing efforts to sound a centrist note. The kind of people who are comfortable working with a poster of Che Guevara
looking over their shoulders have been attracted to Obama because they read the little signals belying his centrist pose.

Of course, it may be unfair to hold a candidate responsible for all the actions of any of his supporters, but when a campaign itself indulges in the aesthetic of leftism, it may actually mean something. Take the striking posters of the candidate created by left wing artist Shepard FairObama change posterey aObama Progress posternd sold by the online Obama store run by his campaign. The entire run of the Fairey posters has sold out, so popular are they among the leftist cognoscenti whose aesthetic tastes run to nostalgic socialist realism.

Of the Fairey posters, the "Progress" poster is the most interesting. "Progressive" is, of course, the favorite euphemism for the hard left today.

rinse & repeat

Barack Obama seemed puzzled. Angrily puzzled. The apostle of hope seemed flummoxed by the audacity of the question. At the April 16 Philadelphia debate, George Stephanopoulos, longtime aide to Democratic politicians, was asking about his longtime association with Weather Underground bomber William Ayers.

The Weather Underground attacked the Pentagon, the Capitol and other public buildings; Ayers was quoted in The New York Times on Sept. 11, 2001, as saying, "I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough."

It was at Ayers' house that Obama's state Senate candidacy was launched in 1995; Obama continued to serve on a nonprofit board with Ayers after the Times article appeared.

Obamaites live-blogging the debate were outraged. The press is not supposed to ask such questions. They are supposed to invite the candidates to expatiate on how generous their health care plans are. Or to allow them to proclaim that "we are the change that we are seeking." Or to once again bash George W. Bush.

There was some of that in this debate. But Obama was asked about his association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his remarks about wearing an American flag lapel pin, his comment that "bitter" small town Pennsylvanians "cling to guns and religion" and his "friendly" relations -- "friendly" is his campaign adviser David Axelrod's word -- with William Ayers.

Did Obama expect that this would never come up in the campaign? He certainly gave that impression. The normally poised candidate looked irritated and weary. "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English" -- actually, it's education -- "in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis. And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn't make much sense, George."

He compared Ayers to Sen. Tom Coburn, who has advocated the death penalty for abortionists. But of course Coburn has never advocated bombing their houses or clinics.

malebekanyoko!!! damm!

that is too damn funny! I am just a simple Buddhist therapist and left wing whack job....living the elderly hippy life with x hippy husband who turned mailman after running a vegetarian Seike restaurant in Reno for 20 years...anyway....I am happy to talk to you about your sis in law

It's rather amusing watching the liberal media launch a full-scale attack on George Stephanopoulos and Charles Gibson, with General Tom Shales of the Washington Post leading the charge. ABC's Stephanopoulos and Gibson had the audacity to ask Obama some tough questions during the Democratic debate Tuesday night. Challenge Obama with well-informed questions on tax policy and politics? Wound the media favorite? How dare they?

The fallout is fascinating. With members of the mainstream liberal media lunging at each others throats, it's kind of like watching Hillary and Obama go at it.

But here's the deal: During the debate, Obama bungled his answers on tax policy, big time. Period. End of sentence. End of story. To my liberal friends in the media, all I can say is: Get over it. Your guy has a very poor grasp of basic economic principles.

First off, you don't raise taxes during a recession. That's a no-brainer. Second, doubling the capital-gains tax rate will affect Americans up and down the income ladder, not just rich hedge-fund managers. In addition, capital-gains tax cuts are self-financing, and they stimulate jobs and the economy. You want to raise budget revenues and spark economic growth? Cut the cap-gains tax rate. That's what history shows.

...

Obama also proposed uncapping the payroll tax, another blunder that will hit people up and down the income ladder. While Obama pledges tax hikes only for folks earning more that $200,000 a year, his tax hike on payrolls would actually slam middle-income earners. The cap on wages subject to the payroll tax is presently $102,000. By eliminating that cap Obama will be soaking veteran firemen, cops, teachers, and health-service workers, along with a variety of other occupations.

...

This is more than just a failure to understand the Laffer curve. It's another cultural misstep by Obama. I can't help but wonder if the senator knows any cops or firemen. His appeal is to well-educated latte liberals. That remark about middle-income folks having turned to God, faith, and guns because of economic setbacks? Not only was it ill-advised, it illustrates the wide cultural chasm that exists between the candidate and the rest of America.

...

This marks the third mistake for the Illinois senator. Not only does he not understand economics; not only is he set apart from middle-class values and beliefs; he apparently hasn't read much history either.

Did someone say inexperience?

McCain’s plan would extend President Bush’s tax cuts, reduce corporate tax rates, repeal the alternative minimum tax (AMT), and increase exemptions for dependents.

Reality

• Bush's tax cuts for the rich have reduced annual tax revenue available for public needs by $300 billion each year.
• The occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq has cost $700 billion according to the Congressional Research Service. That's about 400 million a day and the tab is over 2 trillion when you add in the costs for injured vets, replacing military hardware and the value of the things we could have produced, but didn't over the past 7 years.
• Republican's have finished off the deregulation of banking that began in earnest under Clinton. The results are staggering with the collapse of investment funds, banks, the stock value of corporations and the decline in value of most homes while the cost to live in them has risen sharply.

This is great economic progress, how???

I had no idea you had lala land issues about me....I always thought you liked me.....pretty good for having suspicious fantasies about my TRUE job..therapist is a pretty good cover...eh?

Our lesson today comes from the songwriter Frank Loesser:

"Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition."

Or as Barack Obama and his San Francisco pals would put it: God and guns. Loesser got the phrase from Howell Forgy, a naval chaplain at Pearl Harbor, who walked the decks of the USS New Orleans under Japanese bombardment, exhorting his comrades. When the line came to Loesser's ears, he turned it into a big hit song of the Second World War:

"Praise the Lord and swing into position

Can't afford to sit around a-wishin'…" – which some folks sang as "Can't afford to be a politician." Indeed. Sen. Obama's remarks about poor dumb, bitter rural losers "clinging to" guns and God certainly testify to the instinctive snobbery of a big segment of the political class. But we shouldn't let it go by merely deploring coastal condescension toward the knuckledraggers. No, what Michelle Malkin calls Crackerquiddick (quite rightly – it's more than just another dreary "-gate") is not just snobbish nor even merely wrongheaded. It's an attack on two of the critical advantages the United States holds over most of the rest of the Western world. In the other G7 developed nations, nobody clings to God 'n' guns. The guns got taken away, and the Europeans gave up on churchgoing once they embraced Big Government as the new religion.

How's that working out? Compared with America, France and Germany have been more or less economically stagnant for the past quarter-century, living permanently with unemployment rates significantly higher than in the United States.

Has it made them any less "bitter," as Obama characterizes those Pennsylvanian crackers? No. In my book "America Alone," just out in paperback and available in all good bookstores – you'll find it in Borders propping up the wonky rear leg of the display table for the smash new CD "Michelle Obama And The San Francisco Macchiato Chorus Sing "I Pinned My Pink Slip To The Gun Rack Of My Pick-Up,' 'My Dog Done Died, My Wife Jus' Left Me, And Michael Dukakis Is Strangely Reluctant To Run Again,' Plus 'I Swung By The Economic Development Zone Business Park But The Only Two Occupied Rental Units Were Both Evangelical Churches' And Other Embittered Appalachian Favorites."

The Democrats are doing everything they can to blow this presidential election. This is a skill that comes naturally to the party. There is no such thing as a can’t-miss year for the Democrats. They are truly gifted at finding ways to lose.
Skip to next paragraph

Go to Columnist Page »

Jimmy Carter managed to win the White House in 1976 by looking pious and riding a wave of anti-Watergate revulsion. After four hapless years, he dutifully handed the keys back to the G.O.P.

Bill Clinton tried hard to lose, with sex scandals and whatnot, during the 1992 campaign. But Ross Perot wouldn’t let him. Mr. Clinton won with a piddling 43 percent of the vote. For eight years, Mr. Clinton tried to throw the presidency away (with sex scandals and whatnot), but he was never able to succeed.

That’s been it for the party for the past 40 years. The Democrats have become so psychologically battered by these many decades in the leadership wilderness that they consider the Clinton years, during which the president was impeached and they lost control of both houses of Congress, to have been a period of triumph.

Now comes 2008, a can’t-lose year if there ever was one. A united Democratic Party should be able to win this election in a walk. The economy is terrible and getting worse. The Republicans are demoralized. John McCain is no J.F.K. And the country wants to elect a Democrat.

So what are the Democrats doing? The Clintons are running around with flamethrowers, gleefully trying to incinerate the prospects of the party’s leading candidate, Barack Obama. As Bill Clinton put it last month: “If a politician doesn’t want to get beat up, he shouldn’t run for office.”

Senator Obama, for his part, seems to have lost sight of the unifying message that proved so compelling early in his campaign and has stumbled into weird cultural predicaments that have caused some people to rethink his candidacy.

While some of those predicaments raise legitimate concerns (his former pastor, his comments in San Francisco) and some do not (stupid questions about wearing a flag pin), he has allowed them to fester unnecessarily. The way for a candidate to eventually change the subject is to offer policy prescriptions so creative and compelling that they generate excitement among the electorate and can’t be ignored by the press.

Voters want more from Senator Obama. He’s given a series of wonderful speeches, but he has to add more meat to those rhetorical bones. He needs to be clear about where he wants to lead this country and how he plans to do it. That’s how a candidate defines himself or herself.

Clinton Backer Distributes Essay On How GOP Would Link Obama To '70s Radicals

A high-ranking labor supporter of Hillary Clinton is distributing
to union leaders and to Democratic strategists a document detailing the
radical activities of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, two former members of
the '70s group the Weather Underground, who decades later, in Chicago,
crossed paths with Barack Obama.

The document - a three-page emailed essay by Rick Sloan,
communications director for the International Association of Machinists as
Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) -- takes both literary and political license to
outline what Sloan believes would be the thrust of a hypothetical
Republican campaign against Obama focusing on his tangential connection to
Ayers and Dohrn.

I’m very concerned about it, Neil. And obviously the way it’s been going up is just terrible. But I think psychologically — and a lot of our problems today, as you know, are psychological — the confidence, trust, the uncertainty about our economic future, ability to keep our own home. This might give them a little psychological boost. Let’s have some straight talk, it’s not a huge amount of money.

I see big changes ahead in the Democrat party.

Unless Obama screws this thing up, he should, over time win the nomination. But there is a very good chance he will get his ass kicked by McCain.

If this happens, the Democratic party will never run another primary like this one again.

The words poor, dumb, losers, and knuckledraggers are HIS words not Obama's but he never tells you that in his clearly partisan hit piece. Him and the people who are so easily damaged by his obfuscation and misrepresentations are the reason people vote against their own best interest. People who vote Republican are dangerous idiots.

We don't let haploids own guns for a reason. Why do we let Republicans own guns? They are clearly not responsible people.

a COMPLETE idiot next to Obama...IF...he is asked the relevant questions by the propaganda press...

In Greek mythology,
Pandora's box is the box carried by Pandora that contained all the evils of mankind—greed, vanity, slander, lies, envy, pining—and hope.

The mistranslation of pithos as "box" is usually attributed to the 16th century humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam when he translated Hesiod's tale of Pandora into Latin. Hesiod's pithos refers to a storage jar for oil or grain.

Why is "hope" considered one of the evils of mankind? [hey, that's what it says.]

And I know it doesn't exactly fit with the myth, but I'm thinking that what is inside Pandora's jar is another jar that contains greed, vanity, slander, lies, envy, pining—and hope. ...

The Man in the Maze is a popular native american image.
What do you think when you look at the image?
I imagine that I am exiting the maze, looking at it from the outside.
I think a common view of the image is that human is born at the entrance of the maze and the maze is the journey of life.

Hillary Joins the Vast, Rightwing Financial Conspiracy
By MICHAEL HUDSON

[...]
In her debate with Barack Obama on April 16, Senator Clinton once again heaped praise on Mr. Greenspan's "bipartisan" commission that nearly doubled the tax rates that workers had to give up out of their paychecks. A token income-tax cut was offset by F.I.C.A. withholding that, for many workers, now exceeds their income-tax liability. And what certainly must be the most unmitigated gall rivaling even her notorious Yugoslavia-under-sniper-fire gaffe, Mrs. Clinton rejected Senator Obama's policy of raising the F.I.C.A. Withholding rate above the present $97,000 level, all the way up to hedge fund managers making billions of dollars per year. Mrs. Clinton said explicitly that there were more progressive ways to resolve the Social Security and Medicare tax problem. The exchange has to be read to be believed.

[...]
Clinton: I'm certainly against one of Senator Obama's ideas, which is to lift the cap on the payroll tax, because that would impose additional taxes on people who are, you know, educators here in the Philadelphia area or in the suburbs, police officers, firefighters and the like. So I think we have to be very careful about how we navigate this. So the $250,000 mark is where I am sure we're going. But beyond that, we're going to have to look and see where we are.

OBAMA: What I have proposed is that we raise the cap on the payroll tax, because right now millionaire and billionaires don't have to pay beyond $97,000 a year. That's where it's kept. Now most firefighters, most teachers, you know, they're not making over $100,000 a year. In fact, only 6 percent of the population does. And I've also said that I'd be willing to look at exempting people who are making slightly above that.

Hillary attacked Move on? Aaaaaaaaaw! How sad. This is the group that has spent the past couple of months savaging her right? The group that had a "vote" of its membership to decide who to support?

Lets see what did she say-she said that they intimidate people at caucuses and on blogs.

Sam disputes this by making intimidating comments on his blog about Hillary, as he has done in the past-in fact just yesterday!.

I'm so tired of all of you freaks. There is no question that the various blogs have spent the past several months savaging Hillary and intimidating anyone who stands up to Obama. Its not an opinion-its provable. Post five insulting comments about Hillary at Kos and see what happens. Then post five about Obama-you will be banned.

The main reason why Hillary supporters wont vote for Obama is not because of Obama-its because of the people who surround him. Thugs, intellectual brown shirts, trying to force their ideas down the throats of people who dont want them. Vicious ugly foul mouthed vermin that spew defamatory language against Hillary Clinton like some kind of possessed fiend from hell.

Many of Hillary's supporters are elderly, weak, sick and lame or working two or more low paying jobs. They can not get to caucuses and once there they cant fight for their position. But Obama's people sure can. They have no trouble brutalizing anyone in their path.

This Sam is the logic behind a liberal democrat like me voting for Mccain. Why? To hurt you. To make you and all the other undemocratic thugs around you suffer.

In this election the democrats may lose as a result. But maybe after four more years of suffering-people will learn that its not right to deny the sick, elderly lame and poor their voice. I so hope you learn your lesson Sam-because Ill fucking vote republican the rest of my life until people like you do.

if hillary can wrest the nomination away from obama her running mate will be ...

LIE-BERMAN!

a few weeks back i heard her "senior political advisor" kiki maclean on larry king live. when a repuglicunt suggested that lieberman be chosen as a dem veep kiki got all gushy and name droppy and said the repug must be after her own heart since she used to be lieberman's spokesperson...

i'm just saying...

troy is burning!

My family crest, if I were to have one, would be, "Be Honest".

Every sin flows from a lie of some kind. Ever crime, every source of man made suffering stems in someone lieing to himself or someone else.

You Obama people are all liars, manipulators and thugs. Hillary may be manipulative but there is something frighteningly Orwellian in what Obama people do every single day. We are at the beginning of an "Animal Farm" made flesh.

I'm sorry Sam that you chose to ally yourself with them so closely. I had thought you were above it but your not.

You won't get a show on AAR and your stay on AAR will soon come to an end. Your chance of making 20 million a year is over. Your friend Randi's career is over-she just doesn't know it yet. The various blogs are already starting to burn out and fail. Moveon with their endlessly hysterical warnings will fail soon.

Why?

Because nothing endures like the truth and there is nothing as fragile as a lie or a liar.

Watch and see if I'm right-again.

The story Mr. Seder is posting above seems to have a few problems with it. Evidently Hillary's comments were edited together. We only have the word of the author that they are a fair reflection of her feelings. The quotes from Wolfson when explained make sense.

This reinforces what I have been feeling for a long time-something almost scary is happening in this primary. The Obama people are practicing a form of politics that you normally only see from the worst of the republicans. All I can say is that people who will do anything to win will do anything they want when they do win.

You thugs may think its great that your guy Obama is so good at gutting Hillary but when he's done he's going to still have his sharp little knife and his sick little brain and who will be left in the room with him...not me...

The defenders of Hillary never use issues, they just call Obama and his supporters thugs, goons ... whatever.

This last one - about sharp knives - seems even more ridiculous. Obama isn't doing what Hillary is. In fact, in the last debate he had the chance to. When asked about Hillary's "sniper fire" story, he could easily have said something like:

"Hillary claims to have misspoken. But you don't misspeak when you fabricate claims of dodging sniper fire when there wasn't. That was obviously an attempt to inflate her own personal experience, something she has been doing for quite a while now."

But he didn't. His response was:

"...And I think Senator Clinton deserves the right to make some errors once in a while. Obviously, I make some as well.

I think what's important is to make sure that we don't get so obsessed with gaffes that we lose sight of the fact that this is a defining moment in our history. We are going to be tackling some of the biggest issues that any president has dealt with in the last 40 years."

Sharp knives? Like a Clinton who enjoys twisting their opponent's words in ways they weren't intended? Or the way she uses guilt by association (even though her associations are potentially even more nefarious)?

Now, instead of calling people thugs, and complaining that the simple FACT that Hillary's policies and demeanor are not in line with Barrack supporters, why not exactly explain how Barack is any of the things you say he is?
