CNBC Host Mark Haines: Attention To Executive Pay Is "Getting Scary" (VIDEO)
Commented Mar 23, 2009 at 17:02:03 in Media
“Let's keep the "scary" comments coming, folks. there's nothing like the threat of a little class warfare to get a few concessions thrown our way. who knows? maybe we'll have health care by the end of the year. and while we're at it, can we have the rest of Obama's agenda?”
BluestateGuyInTX replied on Mar 23, 2009 at 17:17:37
“Yup. The more Republicans whine about "class warfare" the more attractive it sounds. The long suffering American people have not been fighting back as the ruling elite plunders everything they work so hard to produce. Now, the prospect of real "class warfare" (you know, where the other side actually fights back) has been raised the ruling elite find it scary. Good. It should be scary. Reminds me of that old Kenny Rogers song "Coward of the County". Twenty years of crawling might be over. Tommy just stopped and locked the door Mark Haines. You know what that means right? ;-)”

San Diego Union-Tribune Sold To Private Equity Firm
Commented Mar 19, 2009 at 12:32:25 in Media
“The Huffington Post is too addicted to the old media, and this story proves it.
There were plenty of local bloggers and alt media reports on this sale, yet they took the easy road out and ran the AP story. (And, yes, as a citizen-journalist, I did submit a story to huffpo) The U-T's history of anti-trade unionism and collusion with corrupt business barons are simply glossed over. The decline of the San Diego Union-Tribune was about the slow death of of one of most reactionary papers of the 20th century.
Here's reporting about the sale with a more local flavor: http://obrag.org/?p=5380 or http://lastblogonearth.com/2009/03/18/black-and-platinum-intiially-offered-15-million-for-the-union-tribune/ or http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/articles/2009/03/19/economics/856uniontrib031809.txt”

Obama Technology Chief Apparently Reinstated After Office Raid
Commented Mar 13, 2009 at 12:26:50 in Politics
“the GOP is soo desperate...they even did a press release where they misspelled this guys name (lifted from wonkette)
Washington, DC: The DC Republican Committee made the following statement in regard to yesterday’s news that the FBI raided the DC’s Chief Technology Office and arrested one District employee and a well known contractor.
“It’s ironic that as the FBI was raiding Vive Kendra’s former District office, when Kendra was giving a speech at FOSE about changing the way the government procurement should be handled. Kendra made national news last night because of his mismanagement of the District’s Procurement Office. He should step down immediately from his position in the Obama administration,” stated DC Republican Committee Chairman Robert J. Kabel.
Vive Kendra--as opposed to Vivek Kundra--is a french porn star. coincidence? i think not.”

China: US Ship Activity Was Illegal
Commented Mar 10, 2009 at 17:00:33 in World
“It is a spy ship--one that collects various types of signals intelligence. the chinese chose to harass it. that's part of the "game"....now if we can have a debate about the nature of the "intelligence game" and whether or not the taxpayers are getting any sort of return on this "investment", that's a different story altogether.. BTW-that debate won't be happening any time soon; it's all too secret (even though those being spied upon know what's going on) for mere mortal taxpayers.”
Menendez Drops Omnibus Opposition
Commented Mar 10, 2009 at 16:51:29 in Politics
“Menendez needs to be taught a lesson and soon. This one guy who is clinging to failed policy of isolation for Cuba has been holding up a lot of things lately. Let's not go in through the back door on this...just tell him he's wrong and change our policy towards Cuba. It will do more towards "freeing" the Cuban people than almost 50 years of the embargo have done.”

“Is he representing his constituency or is this just a personal vendetta?
If I was a senator who had moved to the USA from Ireland and had relatives who had been badly treated by the British in the 70's would I be justified in voting against the British on some bill on that principle? Especially if there wasn't a particularly large or vocal Irish constituency in my state who were demanding I vote against the bill?”

“it is highly unlikely that stanford will ever do time. civil actions, yes. penalties yes.
but jail won't happen. its all about "national security". that's why the sec investigation a couple of years ago was quashed. if you look back into the company's real estate holdings in virginia (and their air planes) it's possible to find an overlap with certain blind assets held by an organization based in langley. and do you think it's a mere coincidence he was "discovered" by the FBI in virginia after being "missing" for a couple of days?”

New Generation Of TV Hosts Help Spread Religious Revival In The Arab World

“while i count myself as one of those who view any organized religion with a great deal of suspicion, i think that there positive aspects to this story that shouldn't be overlooked. perhaps these sorts of televangelists can function as a bridge between the peaceful aspirations of peoples (as opposed to our/their "leaders") in different parts of the world. the culture of the west isn't going away; neither is the legacy of the ottoman empire. perhaps this is a middle ground worthy of more than ridicule by the western media and scorn by ideological purists on both sides of the world.”
