Afghan Interim Chairman Hamid Karzai in 2002 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Republican Elected Officials In Red States Are Giving Voters An Excellent Reason To Defeat Them Next Year
Joshua Holland, author of The Fifteen Biggest Lies About The Economy and a
senior producer for Bill Moyers, has been spectacularly scrupulous in
exposing right-wing talking points about the economy. This week he
explained how "*all* private insurance premiums in the 25 red states that
are refusing to expand their Medicaid programs will be 15 percent higher as
a direct result of that decision." His overall assertion is what many
people already knew in their hearts, namely that the single biggest problem
with the rollout of the Affordable Care Act is a deliberate agenda of

KABUL, Afghanistan — For the second time in less than a week, President
Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan has picked a high-profile fight with his
American allies, in the midst of a grand council that he convened to
support a long-term security agreement with the United States.

Common Core Unrest Obvious in 17 States
Proponents of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are fond of saying

However, it seems that they refuse to mention the CCSS resistance that has
found its way into state offices–often resulting in formal hearings. Below

The New Yorker's Bob Mankoff pays tribute (after a fashion) to Oxford Dictionaries' word of the year, "selfie" (hey, it could have been "twerk")
*Is this Ton Smits cartoon the precursor of the selfie?*
*by Ken*
This week *New Yorker* cartoon editor Bob Mankoff devotes his blogpost, "Selfie
Explantorie" to the alarmingly ubiquitous word *selfie*, explaining: "The
fact that 'selfie' was named word of the year by the Oxford Dictionaries
caused shock and dismay among the many advocates for 'twerk,' who protested
by flooding social media with butt selfies." And there in one sentence you
have two of my nightmariest words -- "twerk" because I still don't know
what it means (and don't want to) and "selfie" because, alas, I do.

Top 10 Signs Walmart's Mistreating its Workers
This past week, Walmart was the recipient of some unwelcome publicity

Thanksgiving dinner. This sparked national outrage and even brought *ABC

Kirov was murdered by a lone gunman
"It must be asserted that to this day the circumstances surrounding Kirov's
murder hide many things which are inexplicable and mysterious and demand a

whose duty it was protect the person of Kirov. A month and a half before
the killing, Nikolaev was arrested on the grounds of suspicious behaviour,
but he was released and not even searched. It is an unusually suspicious
circumstance that when the Chekist assigned to protect Kirov was being

Honduras election: Hoping for miracles, bracing for more of the same
The scene in Tegucigalpa after the 2009 coupTomorrow is Election Day in

Day of the Doctor - Review
The weird thing about *Doctor Who* is it's more than the world's
longest-running TV serial, it has *become part* of British culture. As such
the 50th anniversary episode was, before broadcast, feted not so much as an
event airing simultaneously to a global audience, *but a monument*. Was *Day

Well, no. Nothing could be, really. But it did a job of work. Whizz-bang

The immense weight of China dominates much economic prognostication
these days. Will it overtake the USA and become the dominant power of this

Ralph Nader is No Saint
I first posted this essay in 2008. My purpose was to argue that what

The story goes that Ralph Nader's unemployed, high school graduate brother
was able to save enough pennies on his own in the early 1970's, that he
could afford to purchase a $100,000 home in an exclusive Washington
neighborhood. Of course, Ralph was repeatedly seen sneaking into the house
at night, but hay, he was only there to visit his brother, right? Later the

Is The GOP About To Go Down In Flames Over The Agriculture Policy Mess They Made For Themselves?

THE LUNACY OF POWER AND GREED

This week on *Moyers & Company*, Giroux explains that such a machine turns
“people who are basically so caught up with surviving that they become like
the walking dead – they lose their sense of agency, they lose their homes,
they lose their jobs.”

What Mattered This Week?
Not the only thing that mattered, but I'll go with the obvious one: the

What didn't matter? I'll stick with filibusters, and agree with Adam Ramey

long as there's divided government. Although even then, "less than you
think" could still be a big deal, so I suppose this isn't a very good
"didn't matter." Sorry; I've been so focused on the nuclear business that I

shipyard. BIW has been there more than 100 years and the city's whole

contact the prehistoric gods.
It has also been reported that amazing new archeological finds were
discovered in Iraq in the late 1990′s. Could these ancient texts provide
the key to understanding the monatomic elements only now being studied by
modern scientists? Could these elements – which may provide the secrets of
limitless non-polluting energy, teleportation, longevity and even time and
dimension travel be the true reason for the U.S.’... more »
Doctor WTF
Here's another post adding to the hype about tonight's *Doctor Who *whilst
simultaneously moaning about it...
My family were gathered around the TV last night, discussing BBC One's *News
at Six*.
Important points were being made about how all those fat cats who run
places like the Co-op Bank (and their lawyers) all seem to have fat faces,
and serious questions were also being asked about why some BBC reporter or
other was needlessly standing in front of a village church that you
couldn't actually see because it was night time. (He had to tell us he was
standing in front of the v... more »

SMASH THE BIG BOSSES!
*Swiss GDP consists mostly of medium-sized companies which do not pay huge
salaries to their bosses.*
On 24 November 2013, Switzerland holds a referendum on reforms that would
make it illegal for Swiss companies to give bosses more than 12 times the
wage of their lowest earning workers.
In 1998, the top salaries at the largest Swiss companies stood at 14 times
those of the lowest-paid workers.
By 2011, the top salaries at the largest Swiss companies stood at 93 times
those of the lowest-paid workers.

The BBC just cannot help themselves
From the BBC's article entitled 'How did Doctor Who reflect the real
world?':
The first David Tennant story, The Christmas Invasion, contains a scene
which echoes former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's decision to sink the
General Belgrano during the Falklands conflict in 1982.
Penelope Wilton's prime minister orders the destruction of a retreating
alien spaceship, a decision condemned by the Doctor.
Doctor Who during the Russell T. Davies years often had politial echoes,
this was one of the most clumsy. It was also perpetrtinga falsehood as the
Argentinian ship's captain and ot... more »

Boycott Wal-mart on Black Friday 2013.
Right on!! Walmart employees and their supporters are staging a nationwide
boycott on Black Friday, November 29. Walmart is one of the nation's
biggest opponents of raising wages, despite being one of the world's most
highly profitable cor...porations. Worse, each Walmart store has been shown
to cost taxpayers upwards of $1 million per year in government assistance
that their employees must qualify for to survive. Please share this image
to let your friends now about this important action!

A Vaccine for Stress? Vaccine Madness is Rampant by Paul Fassa
A Vaccine for Stress? Vaccine Madness is Rampant
by Paul Fassa
Natural News, 23 November 2013
What inspires a mainstream medical researcher or MD to develop a vaccine?
Saving mankind from disease? Probably not – but maybe for some. I’s more
likely the inspiration comes from a steady stream of royalty money and no
liability for vaccine damages.
Once a patent is issued and the vaccine hits the market, the producer gets
sales revenue, but the creator gets royalties from those sales. Just about
any Big Pharma drug can eventually be fined by government agencies or sued
for dama... more »

Friday Baseball Post
I sort of think I must be overreacting to this one, but I'm just very
pleased with the Tim Hudson signing. The 38 and 39 year old seasons of a
fringe-HOF type pitcher who has aged pretty well? Yeah, I'll take that.
Sure, he could easily go south, but the odds of 50-55 league-average starts
over the two years seem reasonable high to me. There were a couple of guys
out there I was worried fit the Sabean profile who I was a lot less
confident in, so I'm smiling about this. Given that I'm also a Freak
optimist at this point, I'm happy with Sabean. Of course, he hasn't dealt

Sunday Classics preview: It's Hungarians vs. Russians in three Brahms scherzos
*Arnaud Sussmann, Jonathan Vinocour, Michael Nicolas, and Orion Weiss play
the Scherzo of the Brahms Third Piano Quartet at the Bridgehampton Chamber
Music Festival, July 29, 2012. (Not much snorting and grunting here, not to
mention inward restlessness or inward propulsion.)*
*by Ken*
Or, to be more accurate it's a Brahms intermezzo and two scherzos, though
the Intermezzo in question clearly functions as the scherzo, or at any rate
scherzo-equivalent, of the work in question. ("Intermezzo" is a term that
Brahms came to use to describe, well, pretty much anything, as witness the

Tim Keller and John Piper Discuss the Influence of C.S. Lewis
*"Between Heaven and Hell: A Dialog Somewhere Beyond Death with John F.
Kennedy, C. S. Lewis & Aldous Huxley"* by Peter Kreeft (1982).
Description of the book (*Source: Amazon*):
On November 22, 1963, three great men died within a few hours of each
other: C.S. Lewis, John F. Kennedy and Aldous Huxley. All three believed,
in different ways, that death is not the end of human life. Suppose they
were right, and suppose they met after death. How might the conversation
go?Peter Kreeft imagines their discourse as a modern Socratic dialog--a
part of The Great Conversation that has been go... more »

Excellent Video: The JFK Assassination Explained In Under 5 Minutes- "JFK, A Conspiracy Theory"
Everyone is aware by now, unless you live under a rock, that today marks
the 50th anniversary of that fateful day in Dallas, Texas that both shocked
and changed the world in an instant.. That was of course the assassination
of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy....
As I stated in last weekend's rant, I am truly shocked that so many people
today, 50 years later, still are under the false assumption that murder of
JFK was conducted by a "lone gunman" by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald... It
should be obvious to anyone by now that Oswald was indeed the "patsy" and
the man set up to take t... more »
