Fat Free Econ 39: P57,000 Public Debt Per Filipino
Nonoy Oplas at Government and Taxes - 17 minutes ago
* This is my article last Saturday in interaksyon.com
--------
The outstanding debt of the Philippine government has breached the P5
trillion mark sometime in March 2012. By the end of last year, the debt was
P5.437 trillion. This means that on average, each of the 96-plus million
Filipinos as of that period had a per capita debt of about P57,000. Not a
good figure to hear.
Aside from the outstanding debt, there is also the guaranteed debt or
“contingent liability” that is not part of the former yet, but if the
indebted GOCC or GFI (government financial institution) cannot pay the ... more »

VFP SUPPORTS MANNING & JEJU
Bruce K. Gagnon at Organizing Notes - 1 day ago
We had our Veterans for Peace retreat today and during the lunch hour we
went out to a local bridge in Augusta for a protest in support of whistle
blower Bradly Manning. Today marks day 1,000 in jail without formal
charges against Manning.
The retreat went very well and we were very moved while viewing the video
by Regis Tremblay about the Jeju Island Navy base struggle. The rough
video cut is just a taste of what is to come in this dynamic story that
puts the current Korean situation in a historical context that most people
in the US know little to nothing about. Happily VFP a... more »

Day
1. Scottish Roman Catholic Cardinal Keith O'Brien, slated to be a
member of the conclave choosing the next pope says RC priests should be
allowed to marry and have families. Because as he pedantically points
out, celibate isn't actually something their anthropomorphic God told
them to be and that weird passive-aggressive misogyny is actually all
manmade and therefore completely fallible.

Lori Anne Haskell at Adventures with Kurt and Lori - 1 day ago
Remembering to blog after a year of not blogging is hard!
I have been pretty busy though. Right now, I am sitting on the couch,
with a sleeping pug named Vito at my side.
Last weekend was fun. Friday night, we had dinner with our friends, Jill
and Jarod, and Ron and got to meet his new girlfriend, Erika! Ate at Dolce,
and had an amazing time. Food was awesome, as usual (I had their amazing
crab cake salad which I highly recommend) and Kurt had sushi and soup. I
also had two drinks, which is rare since I almost never drink. Anyway, the
drink was called a "Smoretini" and was a... more »

“A mere 2.5 million light-years away, the Andromeda Galaxy really is just
next door as large galaxies go. So close, and spanning some 260,000
light-years, it took 11 different image fields from the Galaxy Evolution
Explorer (GALEX) satellite's telescope to produce this gorgeous portrait of
the spiral galaxy in ultraviolet light.
*Click image for larger size.*

*“Sky High”*
by Chet Raymo
“As upright primates, the sky is half of our visual field, but we give it
only a tiny fraction of our attention. Food, drink, sex and shelter are all
to be found close to the ground. What goes on above our heads is mostly
irrelevant.
Here in Ireland the sky is much more than half our visual field; we
couldn't ignore it if we wanted to. Our cottage is perched on a hill above
Dingle Bay, and beyond the garden wall the land slopes to the sea, as if
trying to get out of the way, surrendering the view to- air. Insistent,

For the new pope, tell your cardinal to vote for Chuck Lorre (pass it on!)

February 23rd – Update from the Tree
Right now there is a march going on to stop the pipeline. I wish I could

hear, but I know are running somewhere and so the fight must continue.

Just like ALEC – if you wait long enough the nastiness will start to emerge.
Scottie Walker has had other things to deal with the past two years.
And just like ALEC - What was old for Scottie is now new again.
NOW – he is digging back to those first couple of pieces of nasty
legislation that he introduced after taking oath of office.
As reported in a tweet site I follow:
But the award for the wildest funding scheme may go to renowned highway
spender Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin, who wants to raise $6 billion
for the state’s roads by selling 37 publicly owned power plants. Th... more »
"An Exquisite Balance..."
noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 day ago
“It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two
conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are
served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas… If you
are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you… On the other
hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of
skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from
the worthless ones.”

Speech recognition isn't "new", although after at least 20 years still very
troublesome. What about a barking dog in the background when you tell your
computer to "delete file" and it erroneously starts to delete your music
files instead? I've seen many ridiculous incidents with voice recognition. I
used it (on Windows) years ago when editing a book. My wife unexpectedly
entered my office telling me that I had to make extra corrections in
chapter 6. In dictation mode and without noticing it this entered the final

It is our third day and we are in it now. As we navigate the journey we
notice obstacles. There are many ways to get there, all leading home. How
will we know when we arrive? I once heard Barry Neil Kaufman (The Option
Institute, author of “Son Rise”) describe what it was like to be in a love
relationship that was both intimate and equal. He said (and I paraphrase)
“Being with Samahria is like being alone. I never worry about what I am
saying or not saying, doing or not doing. I just Am.”
I’ve thought about that ever since, it seemed such an odd response. He

then... she did it. By the end of the day she was smiling and so proud of
herself for doing something hard. Wolf Mountain Resort literally has the
best instructors. A whole post to come on this. I am grateful for new
experiences. I am love not knowing what comes next in life.

The new film about Robert King, entitled 'Hard Time' screens in Canada w/ TV news coverage

You can watch the TV segment by Thunder Bay News Watch, and read their separate

the video presents archival video footage from the day of King's release
from Angola in 2001.
The news coverage marked the February 12 screening of the new documentary
film about King by Lakehead University professor Ron Harpelle, entitled *Hard

Sequester is killing the internet

It appears the general public is burned out on manufactured crises. Almost
nobody paying attention to the scary sequester showdown except obsessives
and paid media who doggedly continue to transcribe the tactical minutia of
the contest. Which at this point on the Republican side is a desperate bid
to try to shift ownership of the sequester solely onto President Obama. Yes
I know, stupid and deceitful but that didn't stop Bob Woodward from
delivering some of the dumbest punditry ever to come from a website that
