Open Thread: Top Ten Things Michele O'Bachmann Said During Her Trip to New York City
After seeing that Michele Bachmann decided to add her name to the list of GOP presidential candidates that felt the need to go kiss Donald Trump's ring in order to somehow bolster their credentials with the Republican base, David Letterman made her the subject of this Thursday's Top Ten list.
LETTERMAN: What do you do when you're in trouble? You come to New York City and you visit with Donald Trump. Really? Really?... I wouldn't come visit with Donald Trump if I needed an apartment. [...]
Okay, so now, the top ten things Michele O'Bachmann said during her trip to New York City. She was in New York City. She doesn't know this. She does now. We had a mole following her... not an undercover guy, an actual mole... with a recording device... strapped right to the mole.
Sadly his list isn't as crazy as some of the things we've actually heard out of her mouth out on the campaign trail. And I agree with Dave as to wondering why any of them feel that kissing up to national joke Donald Trump would somehow help them in the upcoming primary races.

Obama Starts A Civil War On Drugs - The US 'War on Drugs' is an abject failure that costs US taxpayers $15 billion a year, or $500 a second. The 'War on Drugs' has wrongly imprisoned tens of millions of non-violent American drug users and costs taxpayers almost $200 billion a year.

The Occupy Portland group has invited homeless folks living under the city's bridges to come be part of their two-block park area. Classy move--the right thing to do.
one of the "demands" will be for some foreclosed properties or abandoned warehouses to be opened for the Occupations in various cities.
Housing is a right. What better way to assert that!!

Incidentally, tonight was the first time I've noticed the local news giving a positive spin to both the local and national movements. They had a couple of naysayers on to "balance" their coverage, but on the whole the segments were presented in a fairly fact-based way.
The local NBC affiliate anchor also mentioned that there were over 200 occupy groups nationwide, the first time I've heard a local affiliate say this. And absolutely NO mention of "we don't know what they're protesting about." They ran a segment in which a national correspondent stated the protesters have diverse issues of importance, but that they all boil down to economic and social equity.
Not bad for the MSM. I wonder, with the contraction of the media, how many of them wish they were out there with the protesters.
Why is this not all over the place? The SDPD has just evicted the protesters by force from the federal plaza in downtown San Diego.

I think we need to spread the word on this. More people need to know that the police are not serving and protecting us in San Diego, and have been bought by the rich and elite. The names of these police officers should be plastered everywhere and we should all know their names.

Yes, but then he's only had corporate TV, republicans, a lot of DINOs and wimp Dems, and an inner circle of Bush lay overs that were supposed to make it easier for him to get things done without seaming partisan, for feedback. Now he has the actual electorate, the 99% of us giving him some feedback at long last. Maybe, just maybe, he will change.

He has been very consistent since then.

In 2008-2009, governments around the world mobilised trillions of dollars to bail out the banks and take off their books “toxic assets” that were the product of criminal and semi-criminal speculative activities in the sub-prime and other financial markets. In essence, the debts of the banks were transferred to the state. But the debt did not disappear. The bailout operation meant that, having rescued the banks, the capitalist state took on the task of pumping fresh value into the financial system.
Notwithstanding the fantastic forms it assumes—expressed above all in the seeming ability of money to simply beget more money—all wealth under capitalism ultimately derives from the surplus value extracted from the working class. Therefore restoring value to the financial system means boosting surplus value by driving down wages and driving up productivity. But this is not sufficient. Claims on wealth in the form of social services, health, education and all the other facilities on which the working class depends must also be slashed in order to meet the demands of finance capital.
This is the essence of the austerity programs being implemented around the world. Finance capital enforces its dictates through credit rating downgrades and the operations in the financial markets where the rapid movement of funds can undermine the sovereign debt standing of a country almost overnight. If any government is perceived as not moving far enough or fast enough then it is targeted by financial markets until it complies...--Nick Beams

When Michele spoke, all I heard was "mumble, mumble" then "mumble, mumble" then "Obamacare"...
verifiably detrimental, anti-job creating policies contained in the new Free Trade Deal. Seriously, has his head been in the sand for the past 20 years, when he was an organizer did he not encounter peoples who's livelyhoods were shipped overseas?
Why, that would be like extending the Bush tax cuts while ignoring the damage such cuts have created for the past 40 years. Hey.. wait a minute....
How does the DLC spin this? Did insipid even try or just resort to name calling? I can't read her posts.
The new Free Trade Deal is more of the same shit and will result in a net loss of jobs , of course is just great for the corporations and the share holder / investor on Wall Street . It's campaign time , Obama is campaigning , there are one's words and then there are one's actions . I'll have to vote for him , I am not going to cut off my nose to spite my face , but my vote will be a vote against the Republicon , not for Obama and his policies .

Just tried to donate $10 to the pizza fund, but, despite having my current debit card linked to my account (and money in it), they couldn't process it (AGAIN!). I have updated/refreshed the billing address several times online. I have even tried using the mailing address I used one time where I had a new card overnighted to replace a lost one (that trick worked one time to get court docs online-- somehow that addr was "in the system" as my billing addr?!), but to no avail.
Why is it that I never have trouble when using the card to get porn online? Sorry guys.
