text When Spin to Cover Up Failure Takes the Place of Real Success Sudhama Ranganathan 2012-09-29 8:16 PM
There are many problems faced by our nation in terms of our intelligence services. For example, their strategies often end up backfiring and causing problems that we as a nation end up paying for in lives, treasure and our national reputation. In many cases our intelligence services seem to have become less interested in doing things helpful to the majority of people in our nation, as opposed to destabilizing countries and sometimes whole regions in order to ensure the financial gain of wealthy corporate interests – not what we pay them for. In other cases still they simply fail and miss what seem like things that should have been easy to catch, like the underwear bomber. That was thwarted by an average alert citizen, and though the kid's father went to the CIA and warned them about his son, they sat back sipping iced teas and fanning themselves, seemingly uninterested in the potential bomb that could have taken so many lives.

 Will AB 2530 Unshackle Childbirth in California? -Interviewing Tina Reynolds & Vikki Law
A bill opposing the shackling of pregnant prisoners, AB 2530, has been passed unanimously by the California State Legislature and is now on Governor Jerry Brown’s desk, with thirty days to either approve or veto it. Last year, a previous version of this bill was also passed unanimously by the Legislature, but it was ultimately vetoed by Brown. With Brown’s decision expected anytime, local activists are urgently mobilizing to stop him from vetoing this important bill once again. AB 2530 supporters have created a webpage for the public (not just California residents) to contact the Governor. (image/jpeg)

text All Eyes on Chicago's Teachers Shamus Cooke 2012-09-04 10:06 AM
It’s impossible to exaggerate the national importance of the teachers’ struggle in Chicago. If the Chicago teachers’ union — 26,000 members strong — goes on strike, many critical yet ignored political issues will go into the national spotlight, exposing nastiness that many politicians and labor leaders would like ignored until after the presidential elections.

text Enter Karl Rove—Need One Say More? Nick Neil 2012-08-31 11:10 PM
The hate machine, and lie machine, and the money machine is on full blast with intent to kill any chance liberals have standing—especially Obama. The President had better find a fighter within himself because he is being challenged in a awfully big way. Americans are angry across the divide. “Many” republicans are angry as well. They know that Mitt Romney did not truly win the nomination. Rather they well realize he was foisted on the party by the sophisticated propaganda machine, the mainstream media and people like Karl Rove and billionaire donors like Sheldon Adelson. We Americans need to be reminded, again and again, in loud and bold terms, of Karl Rove’s last protégé. Another disaster in the making, with Rove’s knack for choosing people who don’t understand moral ethics, despite rhetoric to the contrary. “Karl Rove Is Back With HIS New Choice*!*!*” ought be the clarion call for today’s Paul Revere. Which brings us to an important question, if lying to the public like a psychopath, were the criteria to judge those who work in the capital who would be left standing? Certainly not Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan? (text/plain)

text Come On, Have A Little Courage and Do Something Different Sudhama Ranganathan 2012-08-28 8:33 PM
We're in a rut in terms of what our governmental system has been able to come up with regarding effectively locating the right solution to the unscratched itch they claim to have the formula to over and over. Every time they need to assure the majority of the taxpayers it's, “this time we have it.” (rollseyes) I mean government can't be the the solution to all the problems in the country, although it should strive to be the best it can at what it it supposed to be providing solutions to, as that's why we pay these guys, right? Over the last few decades our government and the only political system (the two party system) we are allowed to have, though constitutionally we are supposed to be able to have as many political parties as we please, have forsaken the majority of us in favor of wealthy corporate campaign donors leaving the rest of us out in the cold and out of options, except to watch the show, like peasants in medieval Europe.
