Daily Kos: Supreme Court attacks union political power

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Court is the main reason to vote, and as such, forces anyone with half a head to vote Dem. The fact that legal fascists like Alito, Scalia, Roberts, and (God save us all!) Thomas are the ones that decide how things will be in the US is frightening beyond words. We're on our way to a fascist theocracy, thanks to our Opus Dei Supreme Court.

US Politics | AMERICAblog News: UK private security chief sees mass privatization of British police

This is insane. Of course, the whole privatization push is insane. How anyone expects taking a non-profit public function, adding a profit layer, and providing the service for LESS money to actually work is beyond me. All one has to do is look at healthcare. What is the lowest cost of administration healthcare service? Medicare, by orders of magnitude. 

 And most government services are government services for the clear and simple reason that they need to be run for a large mass of people at all times whether or not they make a profit. The few services that, in the past, were parcelled out to private entities, or allowed to remain private, were all regulated and treated as utilities. 

I wish to hell someone had blown the Chicago School of Business off the face of the earth about 30-40 years ago (preferably while St Ronny was visiting) :) This whole business good/government evil thing might have been nipped in the bud before America turned into Thailand East.

Daily Kos: Red Shift: why it's important

"In Charnin’s analysis of exit poll data, we can say with a 95% confidence level – that means in 95 out of 100 elections – that the exit polls will fall within an statistically predictable margin of error. Charnin looked at 300 presidential state exit polls from 1988 to 2008, 15 elections would be expected to fall outside the margin of error. Shockingly, 137 of the 300 presidential exit polls fell outside the margin of error. What is the probability of this happening? “One in one million trillion trillion trlllion trillion trillion trillion,” said Charnin....132 of the elections fell outside the margin in favor of the GOP. We would expect eight."

Amazon.com: Greedy Bastards: How We Can Stop Corporate Communists, Banksters, and Other Vampires from Sucking America Dry (9781451642223): Dylan Ratigan: Books

This is a brilliant book. Ratigan goes rantirific on the corruption that is destroying America. My favorite quote:

The truth will set you free- but first it will piss you off!

Get pissed off. Buy this book and then get pissed off. Then do something about it.

Good Luck On Recall Of Lady Mayor Calling Your Kids ‘Queer,’ Troy, Michigan!

Then, as an apology for queergate, Daniels told a local high school gay-straight alliance that she would like to invite a “panel of psychologists” to an anti-bullying workshop so they could explain how the homosexual lifestyle is dangerous. Mainly, the homosexual lifestyle is dangerous because idiots with Janice Daniels’ worldview will beat you within an inch of your queer (her word) life for being so queer (her word).
