ANNUAL IRAN HATE FEST (A.K.A. AS THE AIPAC CONFERENCE) RATCHETS UP THE WARMONGERING
Damian Lataan at Telling the History of the Twenty-First Century as it Really Is - 40 minutes ago
Last weekend’s American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy
conference saw US vice-President Joe Biden threaten Iran with military
action if sanctions and diplomacy didn’t work in preventing Iran from
developing a nuclear weapon. He told his audience:
*If, God forbid, the need to act occurs, it is critically important for the
whole world to know we did everything in our power, we did everything that
reasonably could have been expected to avoid any confrontation.*
Of course it is ‘critically important’; how else could the West con the

Neoconservatives were – and still are – so full of loathing and hatred of

hope that the US and their allies would be able to control the outcome of

Arms Race Update - Giving New Meaning to "Sub-Prime"
The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 9 hours ago
Forget mortgage backed derivatives. That's so 2008.
In 2013, "sub-prime" can refer to the burgeoning international market for
submarines, underwater warships. We don't notice it much in Canada but,
world wide, the submarine industry has been very busy and is set to
continue growing for many years to come.
*British market research and analysis company Frost and Sullivan said
especially in demand will be submarines with air-independent propulsion
systems.*

Bruce Baker on the Final Piece of KIPP's 4 Million Dollar Study
Jim Horn at Schools Matter - 13 hours ago
Not to worry. Gates, alone, has given tens of millions to the KIPP home
office and many of its chains. Hundreds of millions of tax-sheltered
dollars have been given by hedge funds, CEOs, corporate foundations, etc.
Gates has a history with Mathematica, having paid almost a half-million
dollars for some research in 2009 on another of his projects. If there is
any doubt that Gates expects to get his money's worth, have a look at the description
of this grant's purpose:

Ahmad Chalabi Was Not President Bush’s Man For Iraq
Joel Wing at MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 14 hours ago
In January 2004, President Bush gave his State of the Union speech. Part of
the address was about the war on Iraq. Afterward, many pointed out that
Ahmad Chalabi, the head of the Iraqi National Congress (INC) was seated in
the gallery right behind First Lady Laura Bush. Commentators took that as
an endorsement by the White House. In fact, despite many in the
administration being fans of the INC, the President felt the exact
opposite. Bush did not believe that Chalabi should be the next ruler of
Iraq.

Sequestration Equals Exactly What NeoLibs Have Been Advocating Forever

Sequestration a puzzle to you? Bet it's not to the Neolibs in charge. And

sequestration plan falls under the category of Redirection of public

Could feelings of disgust be the key to saving the planet from global
warming? Strange as it might seem, the answer may be yes.
Concern over environmental harm is disproportionately a liberal phenomena,
but concern over violating the purity and sanctity of nature cuts across
ideological lines. What's more, it's not an abstract concern. Violations of
morality of the purity/sanctity kind are linked to a visceral disgust.

organizer is perfect for both. It really helps me visuals combinations and

Re: “Better Charter Schools in New York City”
The recent editorial on NY charter schools (Stanford CREDO report) offers
misleading praise about charter-based educational outcomes and reform.
Carefully considered, charter school data from NY, like charter school data

associated with factors such as race and class. Those same claims are fair
characterizations of traditional public schools. In most ways, charter

Inconsistency

“The breed of the hesitant and the weak ...of those ...who believe in
telling the truth but rather than tell a distinguished painter that his

the human race.” If the goal of being confronted with one’s own
inconsistency is to make us more consistent, then there is little to

the discretion of trial judges to comment being exercised with caution and
