JIM PINKERTON quit his Newsday column and resigned his Fox News contract to join Gov. HUCKABEE as a senior adviser to help fill out his policy proposals.

Citigroup is putting the final touches on its second major capital-raising effort in as many months, seeking up to $14bn (€9.5bn) from Chinese, Kuwaiti and public market investors, people familiar with the negotiations say.
Under the proposal being discussed, the bulk of the money – roughly $9bn – would come from China.

And not one word about what he has actually proposed to do. Nothing at all about healthcare, regulation, holding the Corporate Media accountable. The Post does nothing but try and instill fear and doubt.

Ex-fugitive CEO wants access to law library
Robert Beale, the fugitive CEO captured in November, appeared in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis on Friday, describing himself as a "minister of Jesus Christ" and a victim of "involuntary servitude."
Beale complained that while in Sherburne County jail, he lacks access to a law library to plan his defense and had very limited use of a telephone to contact witnesses.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Rank said Beale had months to prepare when he was out on bond before he became a fugitive and was on the lam for 14 ½ months.
U.S. Magistrate Jeanne Graham took Beale's motions under advisement.
That is one devastating indictment of Chris Matthews at the link.

-- which he describes as "Chinese."
I consider myself pretty plugged in and good at translation, but someone will have to explain that one to me.

The media is trying to kill the Edwards candidacy and they will do it any way they can. He is a danger to them and their corporate masters.

Speaking from the comfort of my arm chair and my many years of Catholic schooling, I'm thinking Matthews suffered some abuse from the nuns and as likely the good priests.

It clearly reveals some deep-seated insecurities of Matthews. Freud would have loved examining him.
Personally, I think he's mad from syphilis. And I haven't heard any denials.
Anyway, you all take care. See ya in a while.
None of this should surprise us. Chris Matthews acknowledged his feelings about Hillary Clinton long ago: "I hate her. I hate her. All that she stands for." And "she drives some of us [guys] absolutely nuts."
But Matthews' questionable treatment of women extends beyond Hillary Clinton.
Chris Matthews has been treating female guests as sexual objects for years. He has been judging women -- senators, presidential candidates, the speaker of the House -- on their clothes and their voices and their appearance for years. He has been referring to women as "castrating" for years. He has been applying double standards to male and female candidates for years.
This is who Chris Matthews is. He is a man who thinks that men who support women politicians are "eunuchs."
Wow.
Thanks. I feel MUCH better now.
As if one thing has to do with another. 
I left you a message on the 'wall'.
I mean, I can totally see how a guy like Matthews would never forget it if his tiny, fragile ego had been crushed by some brusque dismissal in the past.

OT: No action is to be taken against any police officers as a result of the controversial arrest of a young woman outside a Sheffield nightclub which was captured on CCTV. The decision was greeted with dismay by the woman and her legal team, who said it would "fuel public concern" about the use of force by the police.
In a report published yesterday, the Independent Police Complaints Commission concluded that the police used "justified and proportionate force" in the arrest of Toni Comer in July 2006.
Comer alleged she had been assaulted by two police officers during her arrest on suspicion of causing criminal damage outside the Niche nightclub in Sheffield. The arrest was captured on the nightclub's CCTV, passed to Guardian Films by the Monitoring Group North organisation and broadcast on BBC Newsnight last March. It showed Comer being punched five times by an officer.

When it does hit, the cloud could indeed set off a new burst of star formation in the Milky Way.

then there are "bad cunts" and "ball busters" like hillary or pre-speaker nancy, who must be castigated for making the menfolk look bad by doing a better job.

At first I wondered why Moody's didn't mention the cost of the war, and then I remembered that they are the rating agency that thought CDOs were totally solid because much of the debt was "off the books". Makes total sense.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has released a new ad for his 2008 re-election campaign, heralding himself as a “Godfather of Green” and an “environmental champion.”
McConnell may know how to bring home the pork for his constituents, but that hardly qualifies him as an “environmental champion.” McConnell had a zero percent rating from the League of Conservation Voters during the 109th Congress, and has earned only a 7% lifetime rating.
McConnell’s anti-environmental stance means he faces the “the single biggest vulnerability for the Republicans,” in the words of Republican strategist Frank Luntz.
It's that time. Get out your Luntz box.

The boss of Countrywide Financial will scoop nearly $40m (£20m) out of the US sub-prime mortgage lender's takeover by Bank of America - enabling him to go away and "have some fun".
Angelo Mozilo, who has been vilified for his role in the sub-prime credit crisis, agreed yesterday on a deal to sell Countrywide to Bank of America for $4bn in stock. The buyout amounts to a rescue for the business, which has been flirting with bankruptcy despite a portfolio of 9 million loans worth a total of $1.5tn.
As America's largest mortgage provider, Countrywide has shouldered sizeable blame for the industry's aggressive promotion of loans to low-income households. The company is under investigation in Illinois for misleading customers about their repayment commitments.

No it does not trouble me at all. There are many "conservative" citizens who reflexively vote republican because of "guns, gays, God". Defusing that advertising slogan is good - as long as it is not accompanied by any actual concessions to bigots.

OT: An unemployed Dutch bricklayer who was made a scapegoat for one of the defining moments of 20th-century German history has been pardoned for his crime 75 years later.
Marinus van der Lubbe, 24, was beheaded after being convicted of setting fire to the Reichstag, an event Hitler used as a pretext to suspend civil liberties and establish a dictatorship.
But Van de Lubbe's conviction has been overturned by the federal prosecutor, Monika Harms, after a lawyer in Berlin alerted her to the fact that he had yet to be exonerated under a law passed in 1998. The law allowed pardons for people convicted of crimes under the Nazis, based on the concept that Nazi law "went against the basic ideas of justice".

OK, but as I see it, Hillary is just pandering to a slightly different segment of that same demographic with her more hawkish foreign policy stance, and on balance hasn't made any more material concessions on the war than Obama has (at least not since the AUMF). In practice, Obama is also every bit as corporatist as Hillary too, AFAICT. So as I see it, your argument is that for some reason, you have more faith that Obama will tack to the left when elected than you do that Hillary will. For my part, I have about the same level of faith.

The scientist credited as being the first to convince Tony Blair of the urgency of the climate crisis has accused green activists of being Luddites who risk setting back the fight against global warming.
In an interview with the Guardian today Sir David King, who stepped down last month after seven years as the government's chief scientific adviser, says any approach that does not focus on technological solutions to climate change - including nuclear power - is one of "utter hopelessness".
He says: "There is a suspicion, and I have that suspicion myself, that a large number of people who label themselves 'green' are actually keen to take us back to the 18th or even the 17th century."
He characterises their argument as "let's get away from all the technological gizmos and developments of the 20th century".
"People say 'well, we'll just use less energy.' Come on," he says. "And then there's the real world, where everyone is aspiring to the sort of standard of living that we have, which is based on a large energy consumption."
King calls global warming the biggest challenge our civilisation has ever faced, and famously, in a 2004 article in the journal Science, berated the US for its inaction, describing climate change as "more serious even than the threat of terrorism". But his vocal support for nuclear power and genetically modified foods has led to tensions with environmental campaigners.

A specialty occupation requires theoretical and practical application of a body of specialized knowledge along with at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. For example, architecture, engineering, mathematics...
