Let Them Eat Keller Posted: 10/20/11 05:06 AM ET Funny, he doesn't look like Marie Antoinette. But when former New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller asks his readers if they are "bored by the soggy sleep-ins and warmed-over anarchism of Occupy Wall Street," it displays the arrogance of disoriented royal privilege. Perhaps his contempt for anti-corporate protesters was honed by the example of his father, once the chairman of Chevron. In any case, it is revealing, given the cheerleading support that the Times gave to the radical deregulation of Wall Street that occurred when Keller was the managing editor of the newspaper. As the Times reported on its news pages in ...

How To Regain Our Democracy Posted: 10/19/11 09:42 PM ET React Declaration of Independence Our politicians are bought. Everyone knows it. Conservatives know it just as much as liberals do. And libertarians have probably known it all along. The Democrats are bought and the Republicans even more so. They don't represent us. They represent their donors. We have taxation without representation. Our democracy is in serious trouble. We must regain our ability to make a difference, to have our votes count. Right now, corporate interests and special interests dominate our politics because they can spend unlimited money. Unfortunately, in this current system money speaks louder than words. ...

GOP Rep. Asked Paper To Keep Town Hall Secret, Selected Residents Who Were Invited By Alex Seitz-Wald on Oct 19, 2011 at 12:25 pm Freshman Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) told a town hall gathering Monday that “the whole purpose” of the meeting “is to hear from you.” But apparently Herrera Beutler isn’t interested in hearing from everyone. The congresswoman’s Communications Director Casey Bowman called the Centralia Chronicle Friday to ask them not to publish a notice of the town hall, out of fear that people would come and say “whatever’s on their minds,” the paper reports: The Chronicle refused [Bowman's] request and published an ...

EditorBlog MARK KARLIN, EDITOR OF BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT When Andy Borowitz captures the truth of the moment, using satire, you know the ruling elite are on the defensive. There's something all too pathetically ironic about Borowitz's daily headline: "Libyan Government Warns NYPD to Exercise Restraint: Urges NATO Action to Protect American Dissidents." In a riveting unmasking of hypocrisy, a YouTube video has appeared that masterfully shows the blatant hypocrisy of President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton in applying one standard for attacks on ...
FINIALLY SOME GOOD NEWS----Beer Can Help Women Protect Against Osteoporosis: Study Beer

Beer Can Help Women Protect Against Osteoporosis: Study Beer Milk has a long standing, celebrity-studded ad campaign, and in the alcoholic beverage realm, red wine has been stealing the spotlight as of late. However, new research is encouraging women to root for the health world underdog: beer. A new study lead by Professor Jonathan Powell at Cambridge University is revealing that beer may be the secret weapon in protecting women against osteoporosis. While alcohol contains ethanol, which prevents bone loss, beer in particular is a major source of dietary silicon as absorbable orthosilicic acid, which encourages the growth of new bone. The combination of these two punches in a pint may ...

IRAN PLOT Something Just Doesn’t Add Up ASIAN SECURITY Seoul Searching THE IVORY TOWER Will the Internet Bring It Down? Something just doesn't add up... Posted By Stephen M. Walt Thursday, October 13, 2011 - 11:58 AM Share Unless the Obama administration (and in particular, Attorney General Eric Holder), has more smoking gun evidence than they've revealed so far, they are in danger of a diplomatic gaffe on a par with Colin Powell's famous U.N. Security Council briefing about Iraq's supposed WMD programs, a briefing now known to have been a series of fabrications and fairy tales. The problem is that the harder one looks at the allegations about Manour Ababasiar, ...

Spencer Platt/Getty Images I was surprised, amused and annoyed all at once when I found out yesterday that some moron-provocateur linked to notorious right-wing cybergoon Andrew Breitbart had infiltrated a series of private e-mail lists – including one that I have been participating in – and was using them to run an exposé on the supposed behind-the-scenes marionetting of the OWS movement by ...

Why Rush Limbaugh Is Freaking Out About Occupy Wall Street POSTED: October 18, 10:54 AM ET Comment 37 Got a flurry of emails yesterday after the inimitable Rush Limbaugh lumped me and Dylan Ratigan in with the behind-the-scenes power structure.

Dylan Ratigan of MSNBC and some guy named Matt Taibbi… Dylan Ratigan and Matt Taibbi are sending emails back and forth with organizers , telling them how to position their demands, how they can improve their coverage.

And once again, Americans will hear the standard regressive litany: government is bad, Medicare and Medicaid should be cut, "Obamacare" is killing the economy, undocumented immigrants are taking our jobs, the military should get more money, taxes should be lowered on corporations and the rich, and regulations should be gutted. Four years ago the most widely-watched TV debate among Republican aspirants attracted 3.2 million viewers. This year ...

Joseph Kay, a professor at a prominent university, explores a fascinating and familiar phenomenon that to my knowledge has never before been analyzed at length: the black who through imitation of an intellectual manner is able to create a convincing but false appearance of intellectual ability and build a career on that basis. Prof. Kay has previously written an article at VFR on why many Third-World immigrants cannot be assimilated. The Empty Black Suit By Joseph Kay There is a certain type of black student on today's campus who outwardly is smart, articulate, motivated, ambitious, punctual, socially engaging, and all else that any professor might want.

Losing Their Immunity By PAUL KRUGMAN Published: October 16, 2011 As the Occupy Wall Street movement continues to grow, the response from the movement’s targets has gradually changed: contemptuous dismissal has been replaced by whining. (A reader of my blog suggests that we start calling our ruling class the “kvetchocracy.”) The modern lords of finance look at the protesters and ask, Don’t they understand what we’ve done for the U.S. economy? Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times The answer is: yes, many of the protesters do understand what Wall Street and more generally the nation’s economic elite have done for us. And that’s why they’re protesting. ...

Gingrich Says Iran and North Korea Must Be Destroyed In an interview with CNN, presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said that the U.S. "would never, ever, be safe if the North Korean and Iranian dictatorships survive." Gingrich said that he would use "all the techniques that President Reagan, Prime Minister Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II used to destroy the Soviet empire." Gingrich outlined his plan stating, "I think our goal should be the replacement of the Iranian dictatorship with a maximum amount of effort to arouse students, arouse young people, arouse ethnic dissent, to finance every possible element of opposition, to build a radio and television free Iran, ...
'Occupy Wall Street' -- It's Not What They're for, But What They're Against (this on FoxNews)

Critics of the growing Occupy Wall Street movement complain that the protesters don’t have a policy agenda and, therefore, don’t stand for anything. They're wrong. The key isn’t what protesters are for but rather what they’re against -- the gaping inequality that has poisoned our economy, our politics and our nation. In America today, 400 people have more wealth than the bottom 150 million combined. That’s not because 150 million Americans are pathetically lazy or even unlucky. In fact, Americans have been working harder than ever -- productivity has risen in the last several decades. Big business profits and CEO bonuses have also gone up. Worker salaries, ...

I'm probably late in seeing it, but Lofgren's piece raises fascinating and terrifying questions about the future of our political system and the increasing possibility that we are headed toward something like a civil war, or a constitutional crisis. Lofgren, in describing the reasons for his defection from the Republican party, describes a ...
