Eli Pariser:
Senator Clinton has her facts wrong again. MoveOn never opposed the war in Afghanistan, and we set the record straight years ago when Karl Rove made the same claim. Senator Clinton's attack on our members is divisive at a time when Democrats will soon need to unify to beat Senator McCain. MoveOn is 3.2 million reliable voters and volunteers who are an important part of any winning Democratic coalition in November. They deserve better than to be dismissed using Republican talking points.

How about no assumption that respectable commentators are "in the tank" for a candidate? Exhibit A: Paul Krugman. There seems to be a discounting of his columns on the assumption he's pro-Hillary.
I'm only guilty of sexyism.

They had to have presented sigs to Sen. Clinton. Anybody know how that went?

Unless, of course, they're selling damaged copies as new,
I don't think they are doing that. I used to run a business from Montana, that about half was comprised of out of state shipping. I think I finally figured out how to get the packages to get to their destination without damage but this required me to ship as if the boxes were dropped out of orbit to the customer. The package handling standards for UPS and FedEx is that a package has to be able to withstand being dropped onto a concrete floor from about 6 feet, up to 20 times. This does not count the other damage that can occur due to lame-brained package handlers, doing things like stacking a load of steel on top of a package marked with the label, "fragile, contains glass and crystal".

I've been selling books and records internationally for the last 25 years, and my stuff has never gotten damaged in transit.
What really pisses me off is that I actually sell through Amazon, and their standards for "proper" packing for independent sellers are actually more stringent than their own.
Plus, I like how when I get a book from them that's damaged, I need to describe that damage if I later decide to sell it on their site, instead of trying to pass it off as new. Such a deal!

Depends what the item is. But if it's sought after, people may have automatic bidding set up for 30 seconds or so before it closes. You can still beat 'em, but you usually need to have a couple windows open and ready to go.

It's best to hold off as long as possible.
The other rule is to decide before hand how much the item is worth to you, and not ever bid higher than that.
I never bid at the last moment myself, prefering instead to bid a low price and hoping others don't find this item.

I am not really sure where Krugman is coming from in this election. There is more to this than meets the eye. Perhaps there is a personal connection to the campaigns? Is a former student advising Clinton or a rival advising Barack? The columns just reek or pettiness (from my perspective.)
As far as the free trade issue. It is so difficult to even discuss because what it means to one person is not what it means to another. When Marcellina explained the other day that American goods were not actually going down in price in Europe because the prices are controlled and the only benefit was to the store owners and distributors: it just made me furious. (And me alone, apparently)
So we have free trade here when the dollar's value is lower we pay more. When the dollar rises in value, we pay less for foreign goods. But this is not true in Europe? Who agreed to this and why? This is free trade?
And we send our manufacturing jobs away and replace them with what? Financial sector jobs - like the 9000 that Citigroup eliminated today? - and what do they MAKE that we can sell?

The Reagan revolution proved adept in its prime goal of redistribution of wealth from 1980 until today. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities shows in a 2007 study:
The top 1% of the population received 14.0% of the national after-tax income in 2004, nearly double its 7.5% share in 1979. (Each percentage point of after-tax income is equivalent to US$71 billion in 2004 dollars.) In contrast, the middle fifth of the population, which has 20 times more people in it, received 15.0% of the national after-tax income in 2004, down from 16.5% in 1979. The bottom fifth received 4.9% of the income in 2004, down from 6.8% in 1979.
Yet, the most important cultural impact of the Reagan revolution was the unleashing of the power of mega-corporations. It can be said in the year 2008, that the power of large corporations is as unfettered as any time in American history, and that is saying something.
The modern industrial corporation and the American republic were born contemporaneously. The basically centralized authoritarian structure of the corporation and the comparatively distributed democratic structure of the republic led to rather a fitful existence between the two from the beginning. Thomas Jefferson was the first to warn of the concentrated power of the new corporate entities. Fifty years later, at the dawn of the first Gilded Age, Henry and Charles Adams, the great grandsons of America's second president John Adams, would warn in their Chapters of Erie:
And yet already our great corporations are fast emancipating themselves from the State, or rather subjecting the State to their own control, while individual capitalists, who long ago abandoned the attempt to compete with them, will next seek to control them. In this dangerous path of centralization, [shipping and railroad magnate Cornelius] Vanderbilt [1794-1877] has taken the latest step in advance. He has combined the natural power of the individual with the factitious power of the corporation. The famous L'Etat, c'est moi of Louis XIV represents Vanderbilt's position in regard to his railroads. Unconsciously he has introduced Caesarism into corporate life. He has, however, but pointed out the way which others will tread. The individual will hereafter be engrafted on the corporation, democracy running its course, and resulting in imperialism; and Vanderbilt is but the precursor of a class of men who will wield within the State a power created by the State, but too great for its control. He is the founder of a dynasty.
It would be a warning continually sounded by others across the last decades of the 19th century. Eventually, the Populist Movement would emerge, a uniquely American movement that was a reaction from a dominant but declining agriculture economy to a growing and increasingly powerful industrial economy. The question of concentrated corporate power became a popular concern.

Financial rewards only concern
While neo-liberals, unconcerned for the most part with any notions of wealth equality, concentrated almost entirely on financial rewards, thus the constant need for financial growth and the removing of taxes from gains on capital. This has had a tremendous impact on the American economy as the New York Times reported recently: "Profits from the financial sector now account for 31% of total United States corporate earnings - up from 20% in 1990 and 8% back in 1950."
ow, the number one enemy of finance is inflation, so as inflation begins to rear its ugly head, the ability for neo-liberalism to provide its benefits, which are at best inequitable, becomes increasingly problematic. For in the school of neo-liberalism, low interest rates are imperative to financial benefits, but low interest rates are impossible in inflationary times. It seems neo-liberalism has run into intrinsic problems just as the New Deal economics did in 1970s.
However, we may very well be at a point of fundamental questions neither the New Deal or neo-liberalism care to ask. For in the end, New Deal and neo-liberal political economy are simply two sides of the same coin. They are a political and cultural school of thought that seeks one end, economic growth. Both ultimately depend on growth in the creation of jobs, growth in the production of goods, and growth in consumption each year.
They are a school of thought that depends on infinite resources from what every year becomes increasingly clear to the collective mind of humanity is a very finite planet. It is this fundamental contradiction that will increasingly move into the center of all debate on political economy and a question neither New Deal or neo-liberal economics has any answers.
This contradiction has appeared most recently in the rise in the price of oil, which is the life blood of any economy we have deemed modern for the past century. Global production of crude oil has basically plateaued, while demand has continued to rise. At the same time, rising standards of living across the globe has given pressure to prices in other commodities. Bloomberg reports:
Farmers aren't keeping pace with the diets of a burgeoning middle class in India and China. The Department of Agriculture predicted February 8 that US stockpiles for the 12 months through May will drop 40% to the lowest since 1948 as global production lags behind consumption for the seventh year in eight. "There's been unprecedented demand globally for grains,'' said Gordon Davis, managing director of Melbourne-based AWB Ltd, the largest wheat exporter in Australia. "It's being driven by demand for protein in Asia, which reflects rising incomes.''
Global wheat production for the marketing year through May will probably reach 603 million tons as consumption rises to 619 million tons, according to the USDA. Demand in India, the most-populous nation after China, is up 16% since 2001.
Ali, many moons ago I took the train from Eugene to Vancouver. lovely
When Marcellina explained the other day that American goods were not actually going down in price in Europe because the prices are controlled and the only benefit was to the store owners and distributors: it just made me furious. (And me alone, apparently)
To me free trade, as it's now practiced, is not about global regions or nation states as much as it is about corporate global states where the money is syphoned to the top from the bottom.....globally.
i think it's a simple ideological difference. Krugman is and always has been a finance liberal. The republicans have succeeded in moving the center line so far right that Bill Clinton appears on the far left and Krugman, who is a decent person, is at the edge of permitted debate.
It is only to be expected though, that a finance liberal would find a populist liberal like Obama unappealing.
I'd hate to know what he finds in the finger holes.

Outlined in his 1798 "Essay on the Principle of Population", Malthus' thinking is quite simple. In any limited biological environment, any species population growth rises to the limits of available food production and once hitting that limit will tail-off, much of the time extraordinarily. For example, a population of rabbits in a clover field will grow until they exhaust the supply of clovers. The population will then decline to match the lesser availability of clovers. Since Malthus, biologists have proven this to be an iron clad law of the natural world.
However, Malthus theory was held aghast by much of the theological and philosophical world. Humanity's theological and philosophical history has been one long attempt to hold itself exceptional from the rest of nature. Thus Thomas Carlyle, mid-19th century British historian and wag coined the phrase, "the dismal science" to disparage both Malthus and much else of early economic thinking.
Yet, Malthus became held in ill-repute nowhere more so than amongst the economic community. His idea of humanity as part of nature flew in the face of both burgeoning growth economics, the new industrial ethos which seemingly proved man's control over nature, and of course the much older philosophical and theological conceits of humanity's natural exceptionalism.
For the next century and half, industrialization swept Western Europe, the United States, and some other small parts of the globe. By 1950, the economics of unlimited growth seemed to have vanquished Malthus. World population growth went from less then a billion to over 3 billion, seemingly a direct refutation of Malthus population theory and an even more direct confirmation of the notion of human exceptionalism.
However, in the early 1970s, as inflation amongst commodities picked-up, oil supplies tightened and industrial economies slowed, Malthus suddenly made a reemergence. Organizations such as the Club of Rome in their report "Limits to Growth", thinkers such as E F Schumacher in his Small is Beautiful, and hundreds of thousands of adherents to the growing global environmental movement, all began questioning industrial economics concept of infinite growth on a finite planet.

# There are several fundamental pillars in reforming political economy:
1. Ending the idea of infinite linear production and consumption in the closed system that is Earth.
# 2. Moving away from a fossil fuel-based energy system.
# 3. Corporate and government reform.
Concentrating on these three interlinking subjects will allow a comprehensive though in no way exhaustive look at evolving political economy.
The first thing that must be changed is the linear production and consumption model. We must accept the fact that we live on a finite planet, which means the doctrine of infinite growth is an eventual doctrine of disaster. The first rule we must adopt is to bend the current linear production and consumption process into a circle, which means most importantly, we must realize on a closed system like the earth there is no such thing as waste or garbage. We must look at everything we produce as recyclable and if it presently isn't, it must become so.
Secondly, we have to move people off the production and consumption hamster wheel. This is the wheel that requires people to work to produce ever more things so they can be rewarded with ever more consumption. An ethic must be developed of not wanting more, but simply wanting enough - the system as whole must embrace this ethic. People must be enabled to work less and have more time to do other things than just consume.
For breaking out of the linear production and consumption model, the robust evolution of information technologies is going to play a critical role. To this point, information technologies have simply been used to enhance the linear production and consumption model, that is to simply produce more stuff. However, the real value of information technology lies in design, that is, eventually creating more livable societies that use less stuff. Most of our economic institutions will need to be retooled so their most important element is not production, but design. We need to figure out how to design our economy to not produce the most stuff, but more elegantly produce enough. Design is measured not by quantity, but by quality.
The most important element of the modern economy that will need to be redesigned is energy. If there is one thing that can be said that separates the industrial age from all preceding it, it is the exponential rise in energy consumption. Fossil fuels - oil, coal, and natural gas - have provided industrial society with incredibly cheap and portable sources of energy. Modern society is founded on this simple fact. Yet, we are fast reaching the limits of oil availability and the environmental problems of burning fossil fuels in a closed system like the earth are growing, including the increasing inevitability of altering millenia old weather patterns.

Reports in the British press indicated, however, that the campaign plan was based on the assumption that British and US troops would play the central role in an effort to roll up the Mahdi Army in Basra. The Independent reported March 21 that Furayji had publicly declared there would be a "final battle" in Basra, probably during the summer, and that Britain had already promised to provide military forces for the campaign. It quoted "senior government sources" as saying that Prime Minister Gordon Brown's earlier pledge to cut the number of British troops in the south from 4,100 to 2,500 would "almost certainly be postponed until at least the end of the year".
Two days later, the Sunday Mirror quoted a "senior US military source" as saying that the "coalition" would turn its attention to Basra once the "huge operation" in Mosul against al Qaeda and nationalist Sunni insurgents was completed, and that the US was prepared to redeploy "thousands" of US Marines to Basra, if necessary.
This plan for a major foreign troop deployment to the south for the first time since the US battles against the Mahdi Army in April 2004 did not sit well with Maliki. In 2006 and 2007, he had repeatedly blocked US proposals that US and Iraqi forces target Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army in Baghdad as well as in the south.
When Vice President Dick Cheney, who had previously played the "bad cop" in the George W Bush administration's relations with Maliki, visited Baghdad in mid-March, one of his objectives was to get Maliki to go along with the Petraeus plan to eliminate the commanding position of Muqtada's forces in Basra. Maliki has told Iraqi officials that Cheney put pressure on him to go along with the Basra operation, according one Iraqi source.
After Cheney met briefly with Maliki on March 17, he discussed the "security situation" with Muqtada's Shi'ite rival, Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, head of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, which has been pushing for the destruction of the Mahdi Army. Cheney lavished praise on Hakim, whom he ostentatiously called "my friend", for "working so hard with the United States and with Iraq's other leaders to advance the cause of Iraq's freedom and democracy". The signal of the Bush administration's intentions toward Muqtada could hardly have been clearer.

Rightly so. They're as rich in English titles and lands as they are in Scottish, just as we are. You admire this man, this William Wallace. Uncompromising men are easy to admire. He has courage; so does a dog. But it is exactly the ability to *compromise* that makes a man noble.

This week alone the New York Times has had two editorials calling for more trade deals that are bad for people.
And unions? Don't even get me started. The idea that people should be able to organize and bargain is so foreign in America right now that they might as well pass laws Against Unions it would not make that much difference. The courts have basically outlawed all union activities anyway. (Our Teachers' Association cannot go on strike anymore. If we do they can fine each individual teacher hundreds of dollars a day and the district can fire them. We have not had a raise since they passed this law. Think the law has something to do with it?)

its meh opinion. i realize im in the minority.
The idea that people should be able to organize and bargain is so foreign in America right now that they might as well pass laws Against Unions it would not make that much difference.
I have never heard the plight of my people set forth so eloquently.
Now, if someone would just explain to me what a "union" is.....
I am once again invoking rule 57: Visit my blog!

That's reason to believe his observation is inaccurate, actually.
If you want five opinions, get three Democrats.
As I understand it, it's six opinions, two democrats, and one malcontented independent.

I must uphold my reputation ya know.
Maliki thus feared that a confrontation between thousands of US and British troops and the Mahdi Army would further inflame the feelings of Shi'ites in the south about the occupation, with which his own regime has been so tightly linked.
The Shi'ite south has become the most anti-occupation region in the country. The British polling firm ORB, which has been doing opinion surveys in Iraq since 2005, found in March that 69% of respondents in the south believed security would improve if foreign troops were withdrawn, and only 10% believed it would get worse.
When Maliki met with Petraeus the following morning, according to Petraeus' spokesman, Petraeus warned against sending "a couple of brigades" into the city, suggesting that he did not consider the scale of the operation to be large enough. Nevertheless, when Maliki told him the decision to launch an operation in Basra had already been made and that it would begin in three days, Petraeus agreed to support it.
When the Basra operation became an obvious disaster, however, Washington officials began to question Maliki's motives. On the third day of the operation, as Bush administration officials were reassessing what they described as "a rapidly deteriorating situation in southern Iraq", one official told the Washington Post's Peter Baker they were comparing conspiracy theories about why Maliki had acted so precipitously.
Although that comment was not explained, it clearly implied that Maliki was deliberately undermining the US objective of eliminating the Mahdi Army by using US and British troops.
Bush administration suspicions of Maliki's intentions could not have been eased by the fact that a delegation of pro-government parties traveled to Iran to ask the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps to negotiate a ceasefire with the Mahdi Army. That ploy, which did result in a tenuous ceasefire, raised the possibility that Maliki intended from the beginning that the outcome of the Basra operation would be a new agreement that would prevent the deployment of US and British troops to fight the Mahdi Army during the summer.

Op-Ed Columnist
Run, Barack, Run
By DAVID BROOKS
Springfield, Illinois - - Barack Obama should run for president.
He distrusts righteous anger and zeal. He does not demonize his opponents and tells audiences that he does not think George Bush is a bad man... He has a compulsive tendency to see both sides of any issue...It is surely true that a president who brings a deliberative style to the White House will multiply his knowledge, not divide it... The third reason Obama should run for president is his worldview. At least in the way he conceptualizes the world, he is not an orthodox liberal. In the book, he harks back to a Hamiltonian tradition that calls not for big government, but for limited yet energetic government to enhance social mobility... anyone who’s observed him closely can see that Obama is a new kind of politician. As Klein once observed, he’s that rarest of creatures: a megahyped phenomenon that lives up to the hype... It may not be personally convenient for him, but the times will never again so completely require the gifts that he possesses. Whether you’re liberal or conservative, you should hope Barack Obama runs for president.
Obama supporters are immature political thinkers who don't know enough to know that their man is out of his depth.
We need another dry-drunk serial failure from Texas to get this great nation back on track.
Or failing that, a 150-year-old rageaholic with the moral compass of a turnip.
"That's reason to believe his observation is inaccurate, actually."
i'm keeping my hopes low. the way i see it, the demographics are worse for him in pa then they were in ohio...i think he lost by 7 here.
on the other hand, he had a lot more time to campaign in pa, but the political machine, including the big cities, isn't lined up behind him like it was in ohio.
so i dunno.
3. No parroting of MSM/Wingnut bullshit.
The next six months will be crucial in this regard.

We must not underestimate Obama's appeal among the very people he was addressing with his "bitterness" comment..Many of these people understand precisely what he meant, and they agree with him. It's the first time in a long time anyone has addressed their concerns.

I happened to hear Sean Hannity declare this afternoon on the radio that he doesn't read blogs. Very emphatic abt it.
I think that's an elitist attitude. He's happy to regurgitate news and angles these blogs come up with, but he'll leave it up to an assistant, I guess, to do the reading for him.
I think it's because Hannity thinks reading is for losers. Asshole assertion is for heroes like himself.

Gene Simonetti, 83, slumped quietly in his chair at the South Side Senior Center as a group of Kennedys and local politicians shook hands and chatted with seniors about voting for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
Then the group singing started.
Mr. Simonetti pumped his fist, puffed out his chest and put his arm around Ethel Kennedy, 80, Robert F. Kennedy’s widow, as he bellowed “America the Beautiful.”
“I told Mrs. Kennedy, if I was two years younger, I’d hit on her,” he said.
Mrs. Kennedy was the headliner for a caravan of Kennedys, young and old, who jaunted through the Scranton area Thursday.
It was the first time Mrs. Kennedy had been on the campaign trail in 40 years, but she came to Pennsylvania after her 80th birthday this weekend to campaign for Mr. Obama.
“It’s very much the same,” she said about campaigning. “It’s nice to see the face of America.”
She shook hands, patted backs, sang songs and changed into sneakers after nine hours of campaigning.

They visited about seven diners and Dunkin’ Donuts shops in Moosic, Scranton and Dunmore before they arrived at the South Side Senior Center.One woman in a wheelchair explained to Mrs. Kennedy that she once drove through a red light to see her husband, Bobby.
“Well, I went through a red light to see Sen. Obama,” replied Mrs. Kennedy, as she began to walk to the next, but certainly not the last, stop for the day.

Why? Because all the beltway bloviators didn't see it coming? What exactly have they been right about, lately? Obama has been consistently gaining in the polls in Pennsylvania lately..Every time Hillary went negative, it hurt her and helped Obama. If this latest backlash to the MSM assault on Obama in the Philadelphia debate is any indicator, Obama will win Pennsylvania.

Exactly why the conventional wisdom on Pennsylvania should be disputed. People are more pissed off at McCain and Clinton's pandering than they are by Obama, who is finally acknowledging their concerns.
Duane V, Bitter Classist | 04.19.08 - 12:26 am | #
The strange about this is Obama's 'bitter' comment was his explanation as to why he doesn't get a higher percentage of working class votes. His explanation was that they are bitter and cling to religion and guns and anti-immigration and intolerance of people who are different. The last two items are deliberately omitted in the reporting so he is able to explain it as he meant the working class is bitter about the economy, which has nothing to do with why more of them aren't voting for him. He wasn't 'acknowledging their concerns', he was saying that they are too intolerant and bitter to vote for HIM.
Hockey looks fun to play, but I'd much be an NFL safety and knock the grandmother out of a wide receiver coming across my lane.
Obama will get Philadelphia, he'll get Pittsburgh, and he'll win in between. People remember who is responsible for NAFTA.

Saying it again doesn't make it any less stupid or irrelevant.
The latest Rasmussen Reports survey data show the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is closer than ever in Pennsylvania.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows Hillary Clinton with 47 percent of the vote and Barack Obama with 44 percent.
The poll was conducted Thursday night, the night following a nationally televised debate between the candidates.
Last Monday, Clinton was leading Obama 50 percent to 41 percent in the Rasmussen data.
But according to the data, Obama’s support appears to be a bit softer than Clinton’s at this point in time.
Six percent of Obama voters said there’s a good chance they could change their mind before voting. Only 2 percent of Clinton supporters said the same.
Overall, with less than a week to go, 9 percent of Pennsylvania voters remain undecided, with 3 percent said there’s a good chance they will change their mind, and another 12 percet might change their mind.
Among those who are certain how they will vote, Clinton leads 53 percent to 47 percent.
The last line is the key to the primary, who shows up!

Wrong. They ARE voting for him. And he WAS simply acknowledging their concerns.
[John Judis] To win in November, a Democratic presidential candidate has to carry most of the industrial heartland states that stretch from Pennsylvania to Missouri. That becomes even more imperative if a Democrat can't carry Florida -- and because of his relative weakness in South Florida, Obama is unlikely to do so against McCain. Ruy Teixeira and I have calculated that in the heartland states, a Democratic presidential candidate has to win 45 to 48 percent of the white working-class vote. In some states, like West Virginia and Kentucky, the percentage is well over a majority.
Some Democrats insist Obama need not worry about these states because he will be able to make up for a defeat in Ohio or even Pennsylvania with a victory in Virginia or Colorado. But in Virginia, McCain will be able to draw upon coastal suburbanites closely tied to the military. These voters backed Democrats like Chuck Robb and Jim Webb, who are both veterans, but they may not go for Obama. And in the Southwest, McCain will be able to challenge Obama among Hispanics. So to win in November, Obama will have to win almost all of these heartland states. Which is a problem, because even before he uttered his infamous words about these voters "clinging" to guns, religion, abortion and fears about free trade, Obama looked vulnerable in the region. A look at the white working class' relationship with earlier Democratic candidates underscores the various reasons why.
Many white working class voters in these states used to be loyal Democrats. The last two successful Democratic presidential candidates, Jimmy Carter in 1976 and Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, swept Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Missouri. Many of these voters have always been highly patriotic, church-going hunters who were skeptical about the benefits of trade and immigration and -- what Obama did not mention -- black political assertiveness. But they still distrust Republicans as the defenders of business and look up to Democrats (or at least some Democrats) as being more in tune with average Americans like themselves.
Democrats have won over these voters when their advantage on the economy has come to the fore. And they've lost these voters when their positions on the economy -- or national security -- were not sufficiently compelling to overcome the Republican advantage on social issues like abortion, gay marriage or gun control. Why? Because with the exception of a few rabid single-issue voters, the white working class hasn't simply displaced its economic anxiety, or bitterness, onto God, guns, and gay marriage; they're actually quite concerned about the economy.
Historically, there are three circumstances in which Democrats have been able to win over these voters:

You spent too much time with that stuff.
.. year 2007 was important for al-Qaeda's development as several stand-alone Arab groups operating in Pakistan's tribal areas, including Libyans and Egyptians, either merged into al-Qaeda or made an alliance in which they would be subservient to al-Qaeda's command.
With al-Qaeda losing key members, a vacuum should have been created, but that did not happen, and another figure has emerged - Maulana Ilyas Kashmiri. He is a veteran fighter of the Kashmir struggle, groomed by Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence's India cell.
Islamabad's clampdown on activities in Kashmir and being arrested a few times disheartened Kashmiri, and he moved to the North Waziristan tribal area. He was soon followed by his diehard Punjabi colleagues and they made Afghanistan their new battlefield.
This year, a "crossbreed" of fighters - a combination of Arab command and that of Kashmiri, as well as an alliance with tribal warlord Baitullah Mehsud - is expected to spring some surprises in Afghanistan.
"The Taliban are tribal warriors. They only understand guerrilla operations as hit-and-run raids," a group leader for the Taliban-led spring offensive told Asia Times Online on the condition of anonymity.

troops being hung out to dry:
BAGHDAD — Three weeks after U.S. troops were ordered into the sprawling Shiite Muslim slum of Sadr City to stop rockets from raining down on the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad's Green Zone, they're caught in crossfire between Shiite militiamen and the mostly Shiite Iraqi army.
American soldiers who try to move around this urban area, even in the U.S. Army's state-of-the-art Stryker armored vehicles, risk being ambushed. The soldiers in a platoon from the 25th Infantry Division quickly learned that holding a position puts them in the line of fire from both the Mahdi Army militia and the U.S.-backed Iraqi forces.
The American soldiers can't go on the offensive from the run-down two-story house they commandeered in south Sadr City, but must hunker down and wait to get shot at.
An Iraqi family evacuated the house just before the fighting started. It has rats and clogged toilets but no electricity or hot water, and no air conditioning or heating. The American soldiers have had one shower and barely a change of clothes since they got here.
Do they ask about them and what do you say?

MEDIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- To bisect the heart of the Democratic presidential contest, take the Chester exit of I-95 and wend your way to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. If Sen. Barack Obama has any chance of cultivating an upset on April 22, this 20-mile stretch is fertile land.
These are Philadelphia's western suburbs -- a patchwork of charming small towns, elite colleges and working class neighborhoods that constitute one of the most competitive political battlegrounds in the state.
"It is, without question, right at the center of the fight for Pennsylvania," said Rep Joe Sestak, D-Pennsylvania, the retired admiral who represents this district and who has endorsed Obama's rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton. "How my district goes is how the state may go."
Clinton holds a lead in statewide polls. But Obama is strongly favored in Philadelphia and polls show him holding a slight lead in the arc of four increasingly Democratic counties around the city.
Obama backers see hope in Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell's gubernatorial primary victory in 2002. Then, Rendell, a Philadelphian, carried the eight counties in the Philadelphia media market by a 4-1 margin. He only won two of the remaining 59 counties in the state, but it was enough to beat Democrat Robert Casey, now a U.S. senator.
"Sen. Obama can do the same thing, but needs to do better than the polls show him doing in the suburban counties," said Anthony Campisi, the first vice chair of the Delaware County Democratic Party and an Obama supporter.
"The polls show him in the low 50s. To build a big enough margin to carry the state his percentage needs to increase close to 55-60 percent."
Short of a win, Obama-backing strategists are looking to secure enough delegates to blunt Clinton's likely success statewide.

Richard Nixon applied for the FBI in 1937.
The thing is, I can't believe he was denied. He was the fucking perfect FBI agent in 1937.
HOLY FRACK.

Gee, imagine that. Scalia an asshole.
My acquaintance expected Scalia to have a "judicial temperament" and was surprised to find him petty, defensive and mean.
Kara's a fracking bitch....
Oh, that was nice. Can't say it was a true surprise but they pulled it off beautifully, esp f/x (noises) -wise.

Coincidence?

Huh.
From his rulings I always thought he would be petty and mean.
Nixon. So venal even the FBI wouldn't take him.
And Bush is worse.
Why you watch so much tv?

Well, if you recall the earlier character establishment, Tory's the icycoldest civilian in ALL OF HUMANITY.

Was hoping she would pull it off. Being human sucks apparently.
I saw the reply count at 666 and could not help myself..BWAHAHAHAH...Still recovering fromm the rebirth of the Weather Undeground. Digging a former Hitler Jugend Pope telling us he is proud of our faith....Ve have ways.
tory did the right thing. the baby iz too important
n late 2006, Congress revised the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act to make it far easier for a president to declare martial law. Those changes were repealed at the end of this January as part of Public Law 110-181 (HR 4986), the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (signed into law by President Bush on January 28, 200
.
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt), who championed the opposition to the original law, was also the hero of the repeal. It helped that all the nation’s governors opposed the 2006 law.

Oh, true. Thought maybe the wife would suprise us.
Nixon. So venal even the FBI wouldn't take him.
The FBI is all about venality and was far worse back then, under Hoover; if anything the Bureau sniffed a degree of spine and self-esteem that would interfere with the required total loyalty to J. Edgar.
Why you watch so much tv? Ali
It's the only way I can keep myself from being too smart for my own good.
tory iz also hawt as hell. dayum.
Right. Nixon was a man with too much spine and self-esteem.
Where were you in the Nixon years?

Thanks. Sorry that it wasn't more clear that I was referring to the white working class vote, which the referenced article was about. The first link to Time is about Yoots only and does not anywhere mention white working class.
The second link to Salon does not mention any primary. The third link to Huffnpuff similarly does not anywhere mention white working class.
So I would have to say that all three of those are 100% nonresponsive to:

So let me clarify: is there a link to data etc. showing a primary where Obama carried more of the white working class vote than Hillary, as a minimum indication of "embrace Obama"? I call myself paying attention to that sort of shit and I simply do not recall it happening so far, but 30 primiaries have a lot of tabs etc.
The link would need to address at least one primary result and its white working class vote breakout, say by exit poll or whatever. And btw, that Jed Report link also does not anywhere mention the white working class. And thanks for the effort - if it has happened I would sure like to see it, because I may have missed something.

UPDATE: Yes, I mean YOU specifically
yeah, well, whatever YOU do - don't go out on a limb yourself with any specifics... tough guy.

Rule #1: there are no rules
rule #2: no outside food
no racism? Oh, you mean like Jane Hamsher putting blackface on Joe Leiberman or Steve Gailliard calling Michael Steele "Sambo"- or no sexism, like all the ballbuster and bitch posts about Hillary Clinton by Obama lickspittles?
You mean like that?
1. No Sexism.
2. No Racism.
3. No parroting of MSM/Wingnut bullshit.
What are you, some kind of fag?

I'm glad to hear that Obama is a "populist liberal," whatever the fuck that means. How's that universal health care plan coming?
Thank you!!!
The fauxgressives are getting on my last nerve.
At some point, you get into 'you're either with us or against us' territory. At others, you get into 'my priorities matter, yours don't' territory. There's a reason lefties don't like ultimatums. They are bad for group cohesion.
Sexism is bad, but not everyone is going to agree on what counts as sexist and what doesn't. Remember 'periodically'? Racism is bad, but not everyone agrees with what is racist, just read MY's comments on the 'boy' remark. People who care about classism will be pissed that racism and sexism get special treatment, and will likely point to the fact that most bloggers are upper-class as a reason. Many gay-rights types will be upset that gender and race get this treatment, but the blogosphere will get behind dems who favor DOMA, while not even considering dems who oppose Abortion.
If you continue down this road, you make a party so narrow that it will have almost no adherents. If you do not, you grant some forms of bigotry an get out of jail free card. It would have been wise not to even start down it.
Ewww, soulite is now on Eschaton? Time to cancel my subscription. Apparrently, I am a racist in some narrowly, disagreeable undefined way.
