A Satirical Elizabeth Warren talks about why she's running for the United States Senate.
"I'm Elizabeth Warren, and I will fix this $*%&* myself if I have to."
Seems like her real campaign slogan.

I was thinking that maybe I could open a guillotine-building and refurbishing shop for the upcoming battle. I sense a need for them soon, and no one seems to be marketing anything on the 'net. Are "passion" and "need to society" considered when applying for an SBA loan?

By the way, the loan is being held up (it's been approved) because our landlord has to ammend our lease to show we have an option to extend for the term of the loan (9 years) - so we may not get it after all. How messed up is that?
rental or lease? I mean, it might work out you stay that long, but... On the other hand, your landlord should be happy as Hell.

Another Nobel Prize Winning Economist Says We Should End the Fed
"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Seems the Fed was kind of the Crown Jewel of the Gilded Age .. forcing the govt to borrow from the banks to get anything done .. what an amazingly corrupt invention .. totally anit-democratic ..
As others have said .. it's time to democratize our economy ..

Like no small number of similar veterans of the “New Left” and the protest movement of the 1960s, Gitlin has proven wrong the old adage “you can’t go home again.” He could and he did. From opposing US military aggression in the 1960s and early 1970s, he became a defender of imperialism beginning in the 1990s.
As with many in this social and political milieu, Gitlin’s political evolution ever further to the right coincided with his entry into the increasingly comfortable layers of the upper middle class, whose own fortunes were bound up with Wall Street and the financial speculation of the 1990s and beyond.
Also like many of them, he made his crossover into the camp of imperialism during the US-NATO interventions in the former Yugoslavia in the mid-1990s, enthusiastically embracing military intervention and uncritically regurgitating the government and media propaganda that these wars were moral crusades for “human rights” and against “ethnic cleansing.”
What characterized Gitlin and this entire layer was their refusal to make any analysis of the strategic and economic interests being pursued by Washington and the other imperialist powers in these wars or, for that matter, the role that they had played in bringing about the economic and political disintegration of Yugoslavia, and the ethnic and nationalist tensions that exploded as a result.
Gitlin backed the US attack on Afghanistan as a “war of necessity” and, in the Iraq war, opposed the invasion launched by the Bush administration only on tactical grounds. In 2003, he upbraided antiwar protesters for carrying placards condemning US sanctions and bombings of the country. Gitlin scolded the protesters, insisting that such slogans were “emblematic of a refusal to face a grotesque world” and constituted a “rejection of any conceivable rationale for using force.” It wasn’t that Gitlin opposed war against Iraq, he just didn’t like the way Bush was going about it.

It is easy to imagine Elizabeth Warren saying these things. She is the Xena Warrior Princess of Senate candidates. She is smart, she is educated, she cares. She should have a license to kick butt anywhere.

These are the ten planks of the Green New Deal:
* Cut military spending at least 70%

* Establish single-payer “Medicare for all” health care
* Provide tuition-free public higher education
* Change trade agreements to improve labor, environmental, consumer, health and safety standards
* End counterproductive prohibition policies and legalize marijuana
* Enact tough limits on credit interest and lending rates, progressive tax reform and strict financial regulation

A few hundred disgruntled protesters were pissed about when their pizza deliveries were later than promised and the police had to arrest them. Nothing to see here, move along folks.
and will soon be released on their own recognizance. Obviously job creating pizza delivery people are upset at their taxes going up or at the uncertainty of traffic regulations and have just gone Galt on us.

PBS - 'Frontline' - the Anthrax Letters Files - just debunked the CNN hit piece on Bruce Ivins. It revealed evidence redacted by the FBI that refutes the claim that Ivins was the perpetrator. It included new evidence that suggests the Anthrax spores may not have come from the flask they claimed it did. The FBI case against Ivins has been reduced to a few bits of circumstantial evidence, so far at least. So I hope they put this one back on the front burner.

The "small businesses" Repugs falsely claim to advocate for support OWS. Hinton will once again testify on hacking scandal. OWS plans to make a house call to Murdoch. Apparently, one of the haters on that site is trying to equate Rupert w/ Soros. Rupert begs his shareholders not to fire him. OWS fever hits Chicago. Bankruptcy ripples once again threatening the economy. White supremacist couple with blood on their hands was targeting Jews. Woman sues SWA over being kicked off the plane 'cus she was Muslim. Israel and Hamas agree to prisoner swap. Christie on a Cracker thinks he goes well with Romney. BofA faces plunging market share. Hank Williams, Jr. apparently claims Faux News twisted his words. Steve Jobs helped a lot of blind people. Pastor doesn't like suggestion that street in George Carlin's hometown be named after the comedian. Um, you do know Kick-Ass was a movie, right? I guess if they can give a traitor like Kazan a tribute, why not Raygun? Tracy Morgan's not actually sorry about homophobic comments. So can you remember what happened to Vince Foster, Bubba?

"The US has an army of 90,000 soldiers in Afghanistan and is spending $100bn a year, but has still been unable to defeat 20,000-25,000 Taliban who receive no pay at all." - Patrick Cockburn
hopefully not us!
news coverage (CNN) just seemed too slick? I mean, all the interviews went very smoothly, all the usual suspects (King, etc) were all lined up and ready to go, Burnett is already talking about it "being an act of war"??!!
For a "news" service that has been blowing in the wind on Occupy for three weeks, give them two hours on an alleged terror plot and they're practically travel agents lining up the flights to Iran.
Something don't smell right here, folks.

the smell test for me and I have a pretty good nose.
Tip to news morons-- at best he was threatened. Not like the guys we've offed recently. And I know you want to suck up to some rich Saudi and show some faux concern (like it's an insult to the Saudis that we don't sympathize with their "plight"): Burnett probably came so many times this afternoon that she's stuck to her chair. Dropping names, restaurants, dismissing Saudi treatment of women. What a c#nt.
Hey fuck the Saudis and fuck CNN.
Where's the Occupy coverage?

Get the occupiers out of the news cycle! Weapons of mass distraction.
I didn't even see it, but will wager it stinks. It's CNN.
The PTB have cried wolf too many times and a lot of it was phony trumped-up garbage.

Slicker than an Oscar presentation.
Coverage of the jobs bill failure? Coverage of Occupy? ZERO. One fucking rich guy who was never even injured-- fawn all over him.
I'm thinking Fux is probably more balanced.

CDC officials accused of child molestation and bestiality charges. Mortgage bankers in Chicago have the misfortune of attending an event coinciding with those protestors. Putin once again resorts to calling us parasites. How did he get into power again? Herman raises Cain over entitlements. BofA resorts to PR blitz. World's biggest virus discovered in Chilean waters. Senate passes China currency bill. China ready to throw down the trade war gauntlet.

Occupy Wall Street is more than being about WS. Henry Rollins sez:
SEOUL, Korea -Yeouido is an island in the Han River where the National Assembly and Korean stock exchange is.
http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2...
The mayoral race for Seoul is important because it sets the tone for the country. Half the population lives in Seoul. The current president used to be mayor of Seoul. And before that CEO of Hyundai. A money guy.

from WIKI about current president Lee Myung bak, arriving in the USA soon. :
Lee pledged with Park Chung-Hee (strongman dictator) not to protest any of Park's policy and in return of that promise, (president) Park enforced Hyundai Construction to employ Lee Myung-bak. It was during his three decades with the Hyundai Group that Lee earned the nickname "Bulldozer".
He likes big money, banks and Korean Chaebol (mutlinationals). They make and run everything here. (Long history for another day)

out of protesters there?
Sometimes. There are tons of riot cops here. Endless busloads at the ready.

I've seen many news stories where they're weilding these long clubs (or something) and really going to town on protesters. Doesn't seem like it's too much fun protesting in Korea.
Gay rights pioneer died at 86. Repugs hope to tar and feather Bernanke. German official admits to using a Trojan to spy on its citizens. Trash someone's private property for fun and you're immune, 'cus you're a law enforcement official, says judge over lawsuit in regards to FBI agent who wrecked a valuable Ferrari in a joyride. Perry refuses to disavow anti-Mormon pastor.
Or any other kind of Rights. Not even Human Rights! Rights are an illusion used by those in power to dupe people to follow them. As soon as it is expedient those in power will simply change the law.
Anything the government gives, it can take away! If you say we already have rights, and it's the governments role to protect our rights. Where do our rights come from?
Proof in point. Property Rights: If you earn your money. It's your money, right? Unless the government says you have more money than you need! You must share it with your neighbor, even if all he's going to do is "sit on the sofa, drink beer, and watch tv.!"
