Make no mistake: The big cable, satellite, and telco carriers are still sitting pretty with more than 100 million TV subscribers. Nevertheless, a new report claims that more and more viewers are "cutting the cord" in favor of watching their favorite shows via over-the-air antennas (remember those?), Netflix, or the Web. TechCrunch has the scoop on a new report from the Toronto-based Convergence Consulting Group, and though the figures may not be a "serious threat" to the big cable and satellite carriers yet, the trend might eventually spell trouble for the like of Cablevision, Comcast, DirecTV, and Time Warner Cable. To wit: Nearly 800,000 households in the U.S. have ...

Buchenwald and the Totalitarian Century

Buchenwald and the Totalitarian Century Dr. Paul Kengor Thursday, April 08, 2010 This spring 2010 marks some sordid anniversaries: 65 years since the discovery of the Nazi concentration camps that facilitated the slaughter of six million Jews and four million various others deemed “misfits” and “undesirables” by Hitler and his henchmen. The ugly footage of corpses left behind is a visual reminder of the in-your-face insanity and inhumanity of Nazi fascism. Yet, less obvious is how seamlessly that form of totalitarianism was supplanted by another, one that haunted the scene even longer. For much of Europe in the spring of 1945, an Iron Curtain quickly descended across ...

Police stand down to gun-toters on Madison's State Street Posted: Apr 08, 2010 7:43 PM EDT By Tony Galli MADISON (WKOW) -- Approximately a dozen people openly carrying handguns on Madison's State Street were left alone by police officers, in contrast to the treatment received by a UW-Madison student with a gun on the same main drag last year. Authorities said people with guns in holsters on their hips visited State Street March 28, and went into Fair Trade Coffee House. Authorities said Fair Trade owner Lorie Henn contacted police the next day. "She wasn't completely comfortable having these people in her coffee shop," Madison police spokesperson Joel DeSpain said. ...

Johnson said he is suing the commissioners to get a determination of whether he should use his limited budget to ...

Create the Path Forward Today, Matt Taibbi describes Max Keiser’s proposal that Greece should nationalize their banks, abrogate debts that were criminally originated and work through the painful adjustment of rebuilding their real economy: The No-Pay Movement Often also called an activist, Mr. Keiser created quite a stir a few days ago when, on an Al Jazeera program, he claimed that Greece, for the past decade, has fallen victim to the “economic terrorists” of the Wall Street banking systems and the IMF. In the interview which followed, he claimed “if the Greeks want to be protected from the IMF, then they should nationalize their banks thus establishing government ...

Afghan's Karzai threatens to join the Taleban

As President Hamid Karzai made more antagonistic statements over the weekend toward the NATO countries fighting on behalf of his government, the West was taking stock of just how little maneuvering room it has. In Kandahar on Sunday, Afghanistan's president, Hamid Karzai, addressed tribal elders' concerns about a planned offensive. There are no good options on the horizon, many analysts say, for reining in Mr. Karzai or for penalizing him, without potentially damaging Western interests. The reluctant conclusion of diplomats and Afghan analysts is that for now, they are stuck with him. Many fear the relationship is only likely to become worse, as Mr. Karzai draws closer to allies ...

Antigovernment protesters who have camped out on the streets of Bangkok for the past three weeks raised the stakes in their mass demonstrations on Saturday, converging on the heart of Bangkok’s shopping district and vowing to remain until new elections are called. The Red Shirt demonstrations had until Saturday mostly affected a neighborhood of government ministries and offices. By blockading the main commercial district, however, protest leaders have considerably ratcheted up the pressure on the government. Tens of thousands of protesters, including many families with small children, took over a main intersection, blocking roads leading to upscale shopping malls and five-star hotels ...
What Led Terry Hoskins to Bulldoze His Own Home?

I am in no way condoning Terry Hoskins bulldozing his home ahead of an impending foreclosure. I do not know enough to make any comment on his situation. Nevertheless, I can relate to his action because of a personal experience. Hoskins had fallen on hard times. His own brother and a former business partner had sued him, and the IRS had placed liens on his carpet store and commercial property. He's unable to make mortgage payments on his $350,000 home in Moscow, Ohio. He still owes $160,000 to his bank. The bank gave him an ultimatum that they were going to foreclose on his home. Hoskins said he had received an offer of $170,000 from someone and communicated that to his bank. The bank ...

Is America ‘Yearning For Fascism?’ by Chris Hedges The language of violence always presages violence. I watched it in war after war from Latin America to the Balkans. The impoverishment of a working class and the snuffing out of hope and opportunity always produce angry mobs ready to kill and be killed. A bankrupt, liberal elite, which proves ineffectual against the rich and the criminal, always gets swept aside, in times of economic collapse, before thugs and demagogues emerge to play to the passions of the crowd. I have seen this drama. I know each act. I know how it ends. I have heard it in other tongues in other lands. I recognize the same stock characters, the buffoons, ...

Civil Disobedience Mike Adams Monday, March 29, 2010 “And the problem is this. We were bought with a kiss.” – David Crowder, 2007. Back in September of 2007, I made a serious error of judgment while giving a speech in Traverse City, Michigan. It was an annual fund-raiser for the Traverse City Right to Life, which is a part of the best statewide Right to Life organization in America. Anyone not familiar with Michigan Right to Life should go to their website. They are a model for the nation as a whole. The serious error I mentioned was a reference to my former membership in the Democratic Party, in which I characterized them as the “party of death.” That ...

It was one of my life's greatest privileges to serve as Sen. John McCain's running mate on the 2008 Republican ticket as he sought to lead us as president of the United States. And it's an honor to stand beside him now as he runs for re-election to the United States Senate. Long before the summer of 2008, I respected the man known as the "maverick of the Senate." From up in the Last Frontier state, I'd watched with deep admiration as he fought tirelessly against wasteful spending and corruption. I was inspired by his willingness to buck his political party - and even his president - to do what he believed was right for this country. And as the mother of a son who ...
