- Padding the Pockets of the Rich:
- Robert Reich: The Health Care Cave-In (robertreich) "But the way things are going with health care, a better admonition would be: 'Don't give away the store.'" -- But Obama is a generous soul and only wants to have lots of friends, so why not give away the store, as he as already shown he likes to do.
- Honest Abe's Party - As Honest As the Day Is Long:
- Remedial Hissy (digby - onlinejournal - onlinejournal)
- Obama nominates Jesus Christ for Supreme Court; GOP concerned about Savior's "troubling Middle Eastern ties." (americablog)
- Greenwald: Terrorists in Prison: is there anything the Right doesn't fear? (salon) Of course we know the morally challenged RW leaders are just blowing more smoke up a brainwashed public's ass in order to keep Obama from accomplishing one more thing he said he would do. -- I remember when I was very young, there was a German POW camp containing thousands (perhaps 35,000 if memory serves me right) of POW's just a few miles from my hometown, and I don't remember ONCE hearing any adult ever express concern about some horrible German marauder escaping into our back yards.
- Homophobia Parade:
- The GayClic Collab Against Homophobia (youtube video) -- An appropriately worded, though highly understated, response:
- Prop 8 Decision Rumored Due Thursday Morning (americablog - twitpic) -- Police barriers being dropped off in the Castro. Such a shame our outrage at homophobia can be so easily corralled. Do you suppose it's the fluoride?
- The Bigots’ Last Hurrah (nytimes) "If it ['Gathering Storm'] advances any message, it’s mainly that homophobic activism is ever more depopulated and isolated as well as brain-dead."
- Military-Industrial Profiteering: Obama Afraid of His Own Personal Army
- Ray McGovern says that the President and CIA director seem afraid to hold the intelligence agency accountable (commondreams) -- Obama probably has plenty of good reason. Anyone remember JFK soon after he signed an ignored order to fold Agency duties into another government group?
- How Colin Powell Got Duped by the CIA (counterpunch - middle-east-online)
- Pakistan Needs Development, Not Drones (progressive)
- Above Earth, Fixing Hubble (apod)
