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

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

World Meteorological Organization confirms 2012 was ninth warmest year

GENEVA, 2 May 2013 (WMO) The World Meteorological

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

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.

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.

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

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
