3 Troubling Things To Know About Billionaire Penny Pritzker
Despite her business-friendly history, billionaire heir Penny Pritzker, President Obama’s nominee for Secretary of Commerce, will likely face standard Republican flak in her Senate confirmation hearings. But progressive Democrats are the ones with real reasons to be upset with her record and that of her family, which is among the wealthiest in America. Here are just a few: 1) Union-busting. Pritzker’s family businesses have often engaged in anti-union practices. She is a director of the Hyatt Hotels, which fired and then replaced long-time room cleaners in its Boston hotels with non-unio

Friday Nerd Blogging: The Eve of the Fourth
With tomorrow being May 4th, it is only good and proper that we mark the eve of that most awesome of nerd holidays with this video. I have a serious case of envy.  It would be a heap of fun to do what it takes to join the 501st Legion.  I would definitely choose to wear a Rebel outfit.  But I don’t have the dedication or the skills to do what it takes. All I can say is: May the Fourth Be With Yo
The invisible hand of the market outsourcing
CBC Go Public's Kathy Tomlinson on The Current : "A single mom, an experienced IT worker, couldn't find work for seven months. She heard one of the Indian firms had a project going at one of the banks here so she asked the manager who she knew who was here from India to hire her to oversee it. He said he'd think about it. Then she says he called back to say he would give her the job i

World Meteorological Organization confirms 2012 was ninth warmest year on record – ‘The sustained warming of the lower atmosphere is a worrisome sign’
GENEVA, 2 May 2013 (WMO) The World Meteorological Organization’s Statement on the Status of the Global Climate says that 2012 joined the ten previous years as one of the warmest — at ninth place — on record despite the cooling influence of a La Niña episode early in the year. The 2012 global land and ocean surface temperature during January–December 2012 is estimated to be 0.45°C (±0.11°C) abov

Let’s have us a Chicago-style election
My debut novel is finally out. You can pick up PENANCE at bookstores, well, not everywhere exactly, but it’s at a lot of them, or through the usual online suspects like Indiebound, Barnes & Noble or Amazon, or, if you’re the ebook type, you can get it direct from Exhibit A. So run out and get a copy. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Back already? Purty, ain’t it? Chicago’s dubious political history figur

Is Syria Like Iraq?
Is Syria Like Iraq? By Joshua Landis, May 1, 2012, Syria Comment In my recent discussion with Murhaf Jouejati on PBS Newshour, I argued that the reason the US should avoid taking the lead in Syria is that the conflict is sectarian and resembles that of Iraq, where the US had little success. Murhaf took issue with my analysis arguing that Syria is not like Iraq. He said that Iraq was invaded and Sy
New Addition to the Syrian Islamic Front
by Aron Lund for Syria Comment The Haqq Battalions Gathering, a militant group in the Hama province, announced in mid-April 2013 that they are joining the Syrian Islamic Front (SIF). This is the first time since the SIF’s creation in December 2012 that an independent outside organization of any consequence decides to join the front. Previously, some small local factions had been coopted into SIF m

Sage And Spirit
(And so, as the world turns, again it is May. Time, then, to rerun this piece, and get with the sage.) The ancients were enamored with sage. So am I. The ancients believed that sage could confer immortality. What I believe: who knows? I eat the stuff, and I’m still knocking around. “Why,” demanded one Latin commentator, “should a man die who grows sage in his garden?” Beats me. Among the English,

What’s Speeding Global Warming
In case you missed the news, humanity spent the Earth Day week reaching another sad milestone in the history of catastrophic climate change: For the first time, measurements of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere surpassed 400 parts per million—aka way above what our current ecosystem can handle.  Actually, you probably did miss the news because most major media outlets didn't cover it in a s

Surprise at the surprise.
The one thing about the supposed UKIP breakthrough in yesterday's local elections that surprises is just how it seems to have taken politicians and commentators by, err, surprise.  I mean, who could have possibly guessed that if you essentially say you agree with the party on immigration, Europe and welfare and let them get away with repeatedly abusing statistics, linking Romanians explicitly to c
The rise of the unpopular populists.
Ah, UKIP.  There are a number of ways you can explain the rise in support for Nigel Farage's unhappy band of monomaniacs, whether it be disaffection from modern society at large, disaffection with Cameron's Conservatives, a protest aimed at the main three parties, for which there are a whole variety of reasons, complete opposition to continued immigration, or, and this is possibly the least signif

by Ugh From the front page of today's Wall Street Journal (copying from the paper version - emphasis supplied): The Pentagon has redesigned its biggest "bunker buster" bomb with more advanced features intended to enable it to destroy Iran's most heavily fortified and defended nuclear site. U.S. officials see development of the weapon as critical to convincing Israel that the U.S

Next week, governments from around the world will decide whether to put strict controls on Syngenta's highly toxic herbicide paraquat — or maintain the status quo. This pesticide has long been banned in its country of origin, Switzerland, and its use is highly restricted in most industrialized nations, including the U.S. Yet it continues to be sold indiscriminately in developing countries wher

McCormick Con Exposed the Truth about Iraq
It is tempting to treat the jailing of fake bomb detector salesman James McCormick as comedy, so risible were his completely bogus detectors. Indeed, one day I have no doubt we shall be seeing a television film treating him as a lovable rogue; the con-man figure is the staple of many movie plots. He will probably be played by Alfred Molina. But the seriousness of the case goes much wider than the
