You know that you’ve fallen far as a columnist when you can be safely put in the same category as Dennis Kucinich.
Oh and the information from Sullivan’s link comes from interviews with Al Qaeda terrorists who would cut his throat for being Gay as soon as look at him. Sullivan’s link doesn’t make that clear but NPR does.
There is a point where someone has gone so far over the edge that you just have to ignore them. I’m very sorry to say that Andrew has reached that place.
The outrage comes but that is the bill we HAD to pass.
6:08 a.m. The argument to justify the Bonus’ is being made. It reminds me of a 50 year old family fight over a piece of property.
6:14 a.m. Might as well have fun when you are the white house press secretary. Just remember we boys never truly grow up.
6:18 a.m. The Seattle PI decided to insult half of their potential customers, so I’m not going to cry a tear. This is not being mentioned by anyone on this show.
6:21 a.m. A contract is a contract is a contract of course if we let them going into bankruptcy then the contract could have been broken
6:34 a.m. The LA times makes my point.
6:37 a.m. The NYT reveals the shocking idea that a business is using the law for their advantage. They favored the bailouts as i recall.
6:41 a.m. “Previous Administration”, “Previous Administration”, “Previous Administration”; sounds like a parrot.
7:05 a.m. When you can’t answer a man like Cheney you attack Limbaugh.
7:09 a.m. Yeah he is fun but who cares if he is being an ass.
7:14 a.m. Grassley is talking like a nut.
7:26 a.m. “I’m all in favor of dissidents I’m not in favor of criminals!” That is the best statement I’ve ever heard a secretary of state make. Kudos for Mrs. Clinton for saying it out loud!
7:49 a.m. Maria of the beautiful Italian eyes (sigh) regretfully admits that the bonus have to be paid due to contract. No Italian American like myself can look at eyes like that and not melt.
8:16 a.m. Cummings is correct that White collar workers are treated differently than blue collar workers, this is due to $$$ donated.
8:35 a.m Tone matters
8:51 a.m. Sinise story here is awesome. He has the oomph to get this on a show like this.
At the start of the Bush administration to keep a political promise the president imposed tarriff on foreign steel. This created retaliation and trouble until they were removed.
The Obama administration has made the same mistake in terms of Truck safety and Mexico is hitting back:
A long-simmering trade dispute boiled over into sanctions on Monday after Mexico said it would raise tariffs on $2.4bn of US exports in retaliation for ending a pilot programme to allow Mexican trucks on American roads.
This has been stewing for a while:
Mexico said it would increase tariffs on 90 industrial and agricultural goods, likely to include politically sensitive farm products, after Congress last week killed a pilot programme allowing a limited number of Mexican trucks on American highways. Mexico obtained a judicial ruling in 2001 under the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) allowing it to impose such sanctions, but has held off since the US introduced the pilot scheme.
Trade wars are never pretty and anything that costs jobs and the Mexican tariff’s will should be avoided at a time like this.
The New York Times has a story today concerning the man made famine in Ukraine in the 30’s:
A quarter century ago, a Ukrainian historian named Stanislav Kulchytsky was told by his Soviet overlords to concoct an insidious cover-up. His orders: to depict the famine that killed millions of Ukrainians in the early 1930s as unavoidable, like a natural disaster. Absolve the Communist Party of blame. Uphold the legacy of Stalin.
Professor Kulchytsky, though, would not go along.
The other day, as he stood before a new memorial to the victims of the famine, he recalled his decision as one turning point in a movement lasting decades to unearth the truth about that period. And the memorial itself, shaped like a towering candle with a golden eternal flame, seemed to him in some sense a culmination of this effort.
This story is notable not for what it says but for what it leaves out.
How the times can do a story about the famine and not mention Walter Duranty is beyond me. Actually it’s not. It is just once more reason why the mainstream media is not to be taken at their word.
It is ignorance as much as fear that keeps people down. The Times should be ashamed of itself but I think it has lost the capacity for it.
