Video: Now Republicans Are Talking About Killing Social Security
First Medicare and now Social Security. And you wondered where the GOP thought it would get the money to finance American Exceptionalism, where the US fights eternal war for big business? From you, friend.

Japan: Fewer want to return home / Delayed recovery dampens evacuees' hopes for the future : National : DAILY YOMIURI ONLINE (The. Daily Yomiuri)
Whether refugees want to return home is often dependent on whether they have homes to return to. OK So Japan rebuild in higher locations for Tsunami hit areas. Make low level areas low human use, agricultural fields. Build on slopes. Bonus: Great views. How to recover Tsunami hot soils? I know how.

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.

Mitt Romney wants to do a job on the US. He claims his history of "rescuing companies in distress makes him uniquely suited to repair the US economy, but his methods include destroying jobs, and declaring bankruptcy. Is that what we want for the US? See Colbert's video report:
Proof Emerges From Official Emails That Palin's Office Pushed Public Employees To Skew Polls
In Alaskan government offices, state employees were pushed to skew polls created by the governor, making it seem that more ordinary citizens were in favor of her policies, than actually approved of them. Michael Ishikoff reports from Alaska on "The Last Word".

Sienna Miller Accepts 100k Pounds From News Corp While Media Navel Gazes To Cover Tracks
While Media News writer (unnamed) covers tracks with sophomoric "Don't trust the news media, ever" he or she (name not given in mobile edition) covers the real scandal, that News Corp promoted the election of PM David Cameron heavily and now wants to take over a major, supposedly unbiased, news system. The truth is that there was systemic phone hacking at News Corps' "News of the World" and yet NOTW editor at the time of the hacking, Andrew Coulson, became th7vec ommunications minister in the UK's Cameron administration http://m.contracostatimes.com/contracosta/db_22828/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=BdZaMahk&src=cat
San Bruno Pipeline Had Similar Rupture 20 Years Earlier
News out of CA: PG & E had a similar rupture to the one that caused the San Bruno conflagration two decades earlier. The difference is that the earlier leak was not set off apparently by the appropriate spark (my evaluation). So, no harm, no foul, according. to the company and mostly GOP administrations that governed the state since that time. (Our evaluation.)

10 Million Solar Roofs Bill - Newsroom: U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (Vermont)
Sanders, Boozman, and Bingaman introduce solar power stimulus bill to the Senate floor. http://sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/index.cfm?id=7eaaf8d3-ef6e-46f2-ae15-bce9d6f9e590
Anchorage Daily News : State plans to release Palin emails in Juneau on Friday
So you. wanted to know why Sarah Palin was "vacationing" about as far away from AK as possible while remaining media cuteness?
Now you have your answer.
Apparently, her public office emails will be released Friday.
A Democratic state Senator objects to paper release, but it seems that will serve the MSM intent as well as Wikileaks' targeted release to NYT (as US monopoly). Do not be afraid, believers. ProPublica & Mother Jones are also part of these public records recipients as well as an AK blogger. They are likely to keep us informed. http://bit.ly/mmx92N

Sarah Palin's Followers Try to Change History To Suit Her Words
Sarah Palin falsely made Paul Revere's ride into a 2nd amendment gimick saying he rang his bell to inform the British that they couldn't come to take our guns, and her followers have been trying to change the Wikipedia page for Paul Revere to put her silly twisted history on it.
Get real Sarah.
