Greece passes steep cuts as riots seize capital. This could have been avoided.

I'm sorry that all the direct action by the Greek people did not forestall the odious austerity cuts. Continued action may help educate people to make better choices in the future at the ballot box. But educating people about politics better in the first place (for example Greece had been holding down taxes for the wealthy while trying to have a European style economy, which is not possible) works better than emergency marching in the streets.

The Dodgers, the McCourts and the errors of their ways

Tim Rutten gives the other side of the Dodgers-McCourt story. http://bit.ly/lecez0 This is more like what we've been seeing all along.  Funny though no where do I see mentioned the name of the company that sold the Dodgers to the McCourts.  IIRC that was FOX.  Yes that FOX. And who sold the Dodgers to FOX?  The heirs to previous owners of the LA Times.   Why doesn't that ever get mentioned? 

GOP loves job stealing trade pacts, hates retraining for Americans

When you read the report you find that the GOP is not protecting American jobs (though the title of the article might make you think that).  What they are against is the inclusion of funding to retrain American workers to new jobs when they lose their old ones.  So first the GOP makes trade pacts necessary, and now they want to Peel off retraining so they can leave American families highland dry when they lose their livelihoods overseas.  Great going Republicans. http://bit.ly/indbIM

Video: Fox Balanced? Jon Stewart Begs to Differ, And Fox Commenters Confirm that Fast and Furious Outrage is Really About Keeping Stronger Gun Laws Off the Books



Since Fox is the voice pushing the most for the right, I find it it very significant that they are wailing about the Fast and Furious program as some kind of gimmick to "take people guns away". (In other words get some sanity in US gun laws or crack down on illegal gun sales at shows.)

My Blog partner, CA Lady, told Anderson Cooper that she would no longer watch his show while it was acting like a anti gun law outlet by stressing on the one man killed with a gun that was released in the program while ignoring the thousands killed each year by the out of control sale of guns, many of them done illegally, and/or without background checks. Cooper mentioned the name of Representative Darrell Issa more than once and she guessed that Issa's staff may have pushed to have CNN push the outrage, because they have been proven to push many politically motivated memes to the press before.

Between us we do believe the Republicans want to make a huge deal of the "Fast and Furious" problems to stave off increased regulations on guns and their sales, or even to weaken gun laws more. And in the video you can see the FOX mouthpieces for the GOP raising the idea that the Obama administration created a deliberate problem as a pretext for "tougher guns in the US" which Jon defines as "taking away guns".

Bachmann Will Let You Work for $2 an Hour

DSC_1708Welcome to Lego Land
Where you are taller than the buildings.


Like Lego Land, Republican thinking is full of mirages, only believeable if you suspend your natural intelligence for a while as people in many states found out after the 2010 elecrtions.


Flicker photo uses its native attribution. Roll over for name of artist. Click on image to go to original site.


But Michelle Bachmann is willing to go much further if you vote for her. Bachmann has offered a package of a familiar, tired, Trickle Down Theory, including the further idea of eliminating the the minimum wage law.

Trickle Down produced not one private sector job between 2000 and 2010, and the only thing that temporarily propped up the economy was two disastrous wars that removed part of the population from the private workforce by dragging National Guard members to the Middle East to fight and die.

The trickery around the bad house loans was also essential to making parts of that decade not appear to be the usual soggy economic conditions that surround Trickle Down Theory economic results. Remember how Bush was pushing home ownership for everyone? He was not a victim of bad home loans, he was actively relying on them. Without the home as piggy bank scams, we would have slogged through the 2000s like we did the 80s under Reagan's Trickle Down. (The right have crafted volumes of lies about Reagan's economy making a brief semi-recovery into "Morning in America" and then pretending that covered all of the Gipper's tenure.)

But go ahead and elect her and let you or your family members get stuck in $2 an hour jobs or worse.

I know so many parents desperate to help their kids get into jobs that will allow them to have a middle class lifestyle. But Ms. Backmann wants to help them get into jobs which won't even support some kind of homeless assisted living arrangement.

You'd better be a millionaire to even think of voting for this woman. She cares nothing for you or yours. She cares big time for the money that billionaires can use to help her get elected thanks to the Citizens United decision by a court on which two judges at the least are way too friendly with fat cats.

See Bloomberg report about Bachmann's words on Face The Nation today (Sunday June 26, 2011) at SF Gate.

Mitt Romney Accuses Waitress(es) of Grabbing A*



In a disgusting show Romney pretended that one of the waitresses with which he was posing grabbed his a** (or maybe it was supposedly all of them).

This is more unnerving than Anthony Weiner's sexting because it was not a consensual virtual s*x act, but one made up by Romney and then falsely blamed on the women. It was also very public.

One podcast source I heard said this is actually a regular thing with Romney, as insiders know.

And yet the news media and Republicans pretend that this is okay.

Political "Jim Crow" Targeting Minority Communities Arises in Michigan's financial Marshall Law

Crow
Why look who's here. It's our old friend Jim Crow who will descend when you're hurting to pick the flesh off your bones.
Flickr image (above) uses the system's native attribution. Rollover for photographer's name. Click on picture to go to original site. My use of this creative commons picture does not reflect the owner's feelings (or mine) towards this or any bird. Instead it reflects my attitude towards the political entities bringing on the political Jim Crow in our nation.

It turns out that all the local government entities from which locally elected officials have been removed from a position of power by the state government in Michigan to be replaced by whomever the governor chooses, have been in high minority areas. So, in fact, we are seeing a Jim Crow system develop in the north Midwest.

Recently, a suit was filed against the Michigan law that allows the take-overs. (See video report below), but the meme of destroying local government for minority communities continues to spread. Earlier I heard some reports of other states interested in adopting similar laws. I believe many of them are going to wait now until the case over the Michigan law is resolved.

Still, while looking for similar activities in other states, last night, I found a report at The American Independent: Bill in Pennsylvania Senate would appoint board to strip assets from financially troubled Harrisburg and put a state panel in charge of the capital city of the Keystone state. Did I really have to look up the demographics of the city? Well, yes, I did, because I didn't want to be wrong, and yes, it's another high minority community.

These same GOP leaders also want to make it very hard for minority citizens to exercise their right to vote, and have been working on that for months, because when you take away someone's vote, you can do anything you want to them. You can take their money and send it off to fat cats as tax cuts for example. We all need to encourage each other to do what it takes before and on election day to get all our friends and family to the voting booth and show the back side of the door those that want to bring on a political Jim Crow society.

See a Democracy Now video report below on the Michigan financial Marshall Law, how it's targeting minorities, and the law suit filed against it.

New Arrest in UK Phone Hacking Case.

While Murdoch's "News of the World" staff blast that the woman newly arrested was never. a full time hire hire of NOTW. The Guardian reminds us that the editor of the News Corporation tabloid at the time of the scandal was hired by the current Tory administration as Communications Director, and had to resign days before more arrests were announced, but forgets to mention that Murdoch's empire (which owns News of the World) helped get the Cameron-Clegg administration elected and is still hoping the Tories will grant them the take over of a 2nd massive portion of the UK news system, "Sky News".

Someone Get This Info to Steve Jobs

DSC_0171_edited-1
(Flickr photo above uses a native attribution. Rollover to see name of photographer. Click to go to original site with other size options.

A report in Science magazine that I haven't been able to read says scientist have having some success in mice in stopping cancer related wasting. (I listened to a podcast interview on the research.)

The report apparently explains how particular lipases stimulate Cachexia (wasting away) that is so common with pancreatic cancer (and some other types, too).

There are trials at the mice level showing that scientists have found compounds that will stop or at least slow the wasting.

A little while ago a tabloid claimed that Mr. Jobs was, in fact, wasting away rapidly and apparently one doctor gave him only a short time to live. In fact, I think that time has already expired, so luckily those who were guessing about how drastically ill Mr. Jobs was, were wrong.

But still we do see that he is very thin.

I heard the podcast interview on this new research. They are having success with mice as I said, but are not ready for human tests. If Mr. Jobs gets that sick, I'm not sure he'd be ready to die without trying it. And if anyone could get this help early, I'm guessing he and/or his people could do it.

Go to for the podcast.

More Disconnect in Cause and Effect: Restrictions in Pro Life Societies Lead to More Abortions

BabiesNature's Babies Come at Will

But nature in general has a more lax attitude towards their offspring. After all you would never leave your kids in a nest.

(Flickr picture uses it's native attribution. Rollover to find photographer's name. Click on picture to go to original site.)

Nations with stronger pro-life tendencies see more abortions, many of them unsafe illegal operations that threaten the mothers' lives.

Oxymoronic?

Actually, not. Many pro-life nations also restrict contraception. And, indeed, in other nations where contraceptives weren't illegal, but were scarce for other reasons, like in the former Soviet Bloc nations until recently, abortions have been high and are decreasing as avoiding pregnancy becomes more easily achieved.

Now American right wingers want to ban the most popular and effective means of contraception, making American women and their partners into the chains of unintended pregnancy and possibly to back alley or self induced means of ending the same.

Japan: Accidental water flow into spent fuel pool averted melt down

As we have learned from other reports the spent fuel pool damaged by events surrounding the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the spent fuel pool in the #4 reactor building at TEPCO's Fukushima #1 nuclear power plan contains several nuclear cores. I suppose that could have made things much worse, I assume, than the melt down of the single cores in the three working reactors at Fukushima that did melt down and through. The report doesn't actually explain just how bad that could have been.  http://bit.ly/lwrMfI

After Austerity Measures UK Facing Deteriorating Economy

The UK's vaunted debt reduction measures since the Tory govt took over has led to, not glorious economic summer as conservatives promised, but what increasingly looks like worsening conditions leading to a double dip recession.  But at least the Tories and LibDems are doing it to themselves. In the US the House and state legislatures are attacking families livelihoods to cause renewed recession so they can get a GOP president for more full scale war and tax breaks for fat cats. http://bit.ly/lnunMS

Comparison Shows: Pro-Life Attitudes Lead to More Deaths For Children

Children Tug-of-War Statue
Which of your children would you have die for anti-choice attitudes the GOP holds?
Picture works with Flickr's native attribution. Rollover to see name of photographer. Click to go to original page, and find different sizes. Thanks to all photographers at Flickr who honor the attribution tag.

Share this with others:

A link below goes to a site with two charts on it.

One shows which nations around the world have better child life expectancy outcomes.

The other one shows the child life expectancy outcomes by states in the US.

Funny, but more anti-choice US has worse life expectancy for children under five than equally affluent more pro-choice European states, and affluent Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It wouldn't be fair to compare with less affluent nations like those in Eastern Europe, but among peer nations, the US isn't looking so good.

Also, between the US states, pro-choice states tend to have lower child mortality rates.

So it's hard not to think that so called pro-life attitudes aren't very good for the children that people want.

Weird, huh?

Not really. Because where choice is inhibited, families, even single women don't get the choice to say no to a child they can't properly take care of. Care for the whole family degrades, so even planned children are harmed as the members all become a slave to the "every sperm is sacred" attitude. (There are even bills passing GOP legislatures in states that will ban most effective types of birth control.)

New Pro Life Propaganda Film Mascarades as a Horror Flic

And that makes it twice as good as the cheesy Juno, another pro-life exercise in mind control pretending to be a teen flic. Oh yeah the pro-life demonstrator is a sweet teen who tells Juno that her baby has fingernails, while the clinic worker chews gum and talks about flavored condoms. And you don't even have to really act, write, or direct to make a Naziesque film (Ellen, Michael, Jason, Jennifer, and Diablo Cody sure as hell didn't for Juno) just pick up the fat check from the radical right.

Radiation spikes at Fukushima as expert calls it the worst industrial catastrophe ever

Spike in radiation halts water removal neccessary to allow more cooling at the Japanese plant. TEPCO promises to resume removal within a week, which is conveniently the absolute cut off on when they must get more cooling water into the reactors to cool.  Some suspect the Japanese aren't revealing the extent of the problem.

Democrats may win more House seats after new CA redistricting. Latinos protest.

Analysis of  preliminary redistricting plan by expert seems to show a gain of eight seats for Democrats in the US House of Representatives, though no increase in state legislative bodies. Latino groups decry lack of likely increase in their power to match their increased population.
My take on this is that this is not the CA version of Texas gerrymandering of their districts.
First: This is a normal redistricting time.
Second: The special commission created to do the job is made up of 5 Democrats, 5 Republicans, and the rest of different persuasions.  After being in other parties (P&F, Green), I think I can safely say the word "Democrats" is usually spat out as if it were obscene, so there is no love for them from other liberals in the state.  I expect the GOP to lie& about it though.
