The Virginia Establishment Aims To Install One Of Its Own-- Don Beyer

When Jim Moran announced his retirement in January, first politician

The Price Of Conservatism
Robert Reich writes that, in the three decades after World War II, the
United States created the largest middle class the world has ever seen:
During those years the earnings of the typical American worker doubled,
just as the size of the American economy doubled. (Over the last thirty
years, by contrast, the size of the economy doubled again but the earnings
of the typical American went nowhere.)
In that earlier period, more than a third of all workers belonged to a
trade union — giving average workers the bargaining power necessary to get
a large and growing share of the lar... more »

talking about the \(3.5\keV\) X-ray line that Jester described as a
possible dark matter signal. Jester would talk about "sterile neutrinos"
but the three new papers try to identify the dark matter particle with a
radiative neutrino; decaying moduli; and axinos. If you're intrigued by the

Why Some Labour People Don't Like Blair
Is Tony Blair Labour's greatest ever leader? John McTernan certainly thinks
so. He lays out Blair's stall and talks up the nice things he achieved in
office. It begs the question, what is wrong with those people who grumble
about him? Rising employment, stable public finances, the minimum wage -
Gordon Brown couldn't have inherited a better set of policy achievements.
It must be that Blair refused to nationalise the top 100 monopolies, and
didn't squeeze the rich until the pips squeaked. Or perhaps it's because he
won three consecutive elections by sticking dead centre and ignoring ... more »

The common core: An untried curriculum plus nonstop testing
Sent to the Salt Lake Tribune, March 9, 2014
M. Donald Thomas is right: "Common Core supporters (are) providing

other serious problems.
First, the common core standards are untested. There were no pilot
studies.
Second, the common core requires a huge increase in testing; research has
indicated that increasing testing does not mean greater achievement.
Also, the new tests will cost a fortune because they must be delivered

I live in a rich zip code; there aren't any multi-family dwellings near
here except a couple of condos where they charge over a million dollars for
an apartment. So everyone in the neighborhood gets free copies of very
glossy magazines from Modern Luxury-- as do rich zip codes in Aspen,
Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Honolulu, Houston, Miami, NYC "and the
Hampstons," Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco, Scottsdale and
Washington, DC. Apparently, that where the money is. Their magazines look
like they are very expensive to produce, certainly not throw-aways. And
it's virtually impos... more »

*Passive smoking 'dramatically increases' the risk of miscarriage,
stillbirth and ectopic pregnancy*
*The usual rubbish. Smoking is correlated with IQ. High IQ people are
much less likely to smoke. And high IQ people have fewer health problems.
We are looking at the effect of IQ here, not smoking. Dumb people tend
both to smoke and have dumb families*
Passive smoking increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, and ectopic
pregnancy, new research warned.
And the more women are exposed to second hand smoke, the greater the risk,

The phrase “spring forward, fall back” goes back decades.
One of the first uses was by the Heppner Gazette-Times in Oregon, which

Why GOP Administrations Do Not Create Jobs
*by Len Hart, the Existentialist Cowboy*
What tycoons of old understood was that if wager earners earn more, they
spend more. Jobs are created. Even more spending follows the additional
jobs. That's the left/dem/progressive model. But the GOP method is just the
opposite and so --too --the miserable results.
The effects of the GOP model are confirmed with official stats from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Commerce Dept and various studies.
A GOP tax cut --from which only elites benefit --is invariably followed by
a recession/depression, increased joblessness, higher pri... more »
In these New Times of International Tension out of Ukraine: Remember the Military Industrial Complex!
I suppose no one has missed the turbulent events in Ukraine the last couple
of weeks and there are, of course, many things one might say about those.
At the moment, there appears to be a stalemate, where sympathies are
allocated according to (i) what leadership orientation is preferred, and
(ii) how one assesses the legality of the initial shift of power in Kiev,
when the 2010 democratically elected president Yanukovych was replaced by
the current provisional rule. If (ii) is assessed as illegal, it follows
that Yanukovych is still legitimate president and then the presence of, if

Ukraine Updates March 8 , 2014 - Moscow and the West continue to trade jabs over the respective actions and legitimacy of said actions coming from Kiev and Crimea , China weighs in with its thoughts on the overall situation in Ukraine , its disagreement and opposition to " the easy use of sanctions in international relations , or using sanctions as a threat " and political means being the only solution , sanction talk from both the West and Russia bandied about -- neither side has much enthusiasm on actually imposing truly punitive measures at this time but expect changes in tone if the Crimea referendum does occur and Crimea votes to join the Russian Federation , IMF discusses its intial consultations with Ukraine ( handcuffs being fitted even as we speak for the Ukrainian people with pensions in the gunsights ) , inquiring minds wonder as to why Kiev is courting neo- fascist groups and Oligarchs in its new government of the people , Military movements / War games / Sanction tough talk - all par of the grand game being played out , but those Gazprom gas bills near 2 billion and are still unpaid .

*The Anti-Defamation League: Dope, Inc.'s Public Relations Firm*
In 1979, only a few months after the publication of the first edition of
Dope, Inc., a scurrilous attack on the book and its authors appeared in a
local Philadelphia Jewish newspaper.
The weekly charged that Dope, Inc.'s identification of the now deceased
Meyer Lansky as the kingpin for the syndicate's dope operation in the
United States, was an "anti-Semitic" attack on a great Jewish... more »
Five Lessons for Taiwan from the Ukraine Mess
*Almost to Donghe.*
*1. The propaganda struggle*
It's been exceedingly depressing to watch my feeds fill up with propaganda
about the Ukraine, with reliable information hard to obtain. A number of my
lefty friends seem to be forwarding Russian propaganda claims as fast as
Moscow can put them out (there's a whole swath of the "anti-imperialist"
left that will embrace any imperialism, as long as it is not western),
while my right-wing friends and the US mainstream media have simply ignored
US involvement in the pro-western protests. Lots of the lefty websites I
frequent are overrun ... more »
Ukraine, art, Syria, cuts, Muslim women's football, armour, Islam & conservation, and gay vicars getting hitched
I was thinking of giving up listening to *Sunday *for Lent but temptation
has taken hold of me and, alas, I've fallen by the wayside. So here we go
again...
This week's *Sunday *began with *Ukraine*, and interviews with two people
who take a negative view of Russia's involvement there.
First came an interview between Edward Stourton and Protestant pastor
Sergei Golovin about "what Russian control [of Crimea] might mean for
different faith and ethnic communities." Though an ethnic Russian, the
pastor thinks what Russia is doing is "illegal" and fears that Russian
control would le... more »
