After 30 years I cancelled my subscription to the Chicago Tribune last fall. Briefly had the NYT for weekend delivery after that. Doubt I will ever have home delivery again.
Why would I pay for online news?
Say goodbye to another meaningless right wing organ. Did I say that right?
they will get the people who really really want to read their newspaper, but I suppose those are the people who are already subscribing to the paper edition.
Everyone else will give it a pass. There are too many other choices and outlets, even in Texas to worry about giving this paper their .75.
This is as good an idea as the Washington Posts "salon" idea.
They are in their death throes.

What is wrong with the Surgeon General nominee?
Snow (D-SC)
In my opinion, nothing.
In the opinion of many Red Team Members, only two things.
(1) She lacks a Y chromosome
(2) She's not white.
Never mind that she is on the board of the AMA, is a MacArthur "Genius" winner, and has been recognized by the Pope. None of that matters.
The Surgeon General is primarily a PR position, historically. The SG tells America how to take better care of itself. This is not a job for a neurosurgeon or a Master's of Public Health person, though both those folks will surely be on call for the SG if he or she wants 'em.
The best choice for a SG is someone who is comfortable with family practice, as Dr. Benjamin is.
I will admit I'd have loved to see Howard Dean get the job, but anyone who got through Katrina is OK in this native Orleanian's book.

a better way to get people to ante up the .75 cents is to make it a lottery. Pay your .75 cents and get a chance to win..... now that would probably work

Well, if a newspaper wants to try this (and let's remember, the NYT itself tried a variant of this, but gave it up), it's fine if it's a fairly small local paper, so that when the experiment fails, and perhaps becomes the proximate cause of death of said paper, it won't be all that much of a loss.
Besides, the other papers will perhaps learn from this folly.

Good one from Greenwald:
Two weeks ago, Alito cast the deciding vote in Ricci v. DeStefano, an intensely contested affirmative action case. He did so by ruling in favor of the Italian-American firefighters, finding that they were unlawfully discriminated against, even though the district court judge who heard all the evidence and the three-judge appellate panel ruled against them and dismissed their case. Notably, the majority Supreme Court opinion Alito joined (.pdf) began by highlighting not the relevant legal doctrine, but rather, the emotional factors that made the Italian-American-plaintiffs empathetic.
Did Alito's Italian-American ethnic background cause him to cast his vote in favor of the Italian-American plaintiffs? Has anyone raised that question? Given that he himself said that he "do[es] take that into account" -- and given that Sonia Sotomayor spent 6 straight hours today being accused by GOP Senators and Fox News commentators of allowing her Puerto Rican heritage to lead her to discriminate against white litigants -- why isn't that question being asked about Alito's vote in Ricci?

LBJ was many things. A jackass he was not.
We lost something like 58,000 in Viet Nam (and God alone knows how many Vietnamese were killed.) When LBJ stepped down, I think the toll was something like 16,000.
He got good civil rights passed. He had a conscience. He was a spectacularly powerful Senator.
I don't think Johnson was raised with an open mind about race. He grew.
Viet Nam was a complete and utter disaster, a mistake from the first day. Johnson inherited it from JFK. He failed to handle it well (i.e., to pull out at once.) For that he blamed himself, and would not run again for president. I admire him for that, and for his civil rights legislation.

Day 1 of Sotomayor hearings: ‘Balls and strikes.’
During his confirmation hearings, John Roberts famously established what he viewed as the job qualifications for a Supreme Court Justice. “It’s my job to call balls and strikes and not to pitch or bat,” he said. (His record has proven contrary to that statement.) While discussing the candidacy of Judge Sonia Sotomayor, many Democratic Senators referenced — and refuted — Roberts’ “balls and strikes” analogy during today’s hearings. ThinkProgress’ Victor Zapanta compiled this entertaining video compilation. Watch it:

Remarks at a White House Meeting for Supporters of
United States Assistance for the Nicaraguan Democratic Resistance
March 3, 1986
The President:
"Well, welcome all of you, and I know that four of us who just came in here are deeply grateful to you for the cause that brings you all together. I have just met with these leaders of the united Nicaraguan opposition who represent the hope for democracy in Nicaragua: Arturo Cruz, Adolpho Calero, and Alfonso Robelo.
You can't stop tanks and gunships with bandages and bed rolls. Congressional defeat of this aid proposal could well deliver Nicaragua permanently to the Communist bloc. Procrastination risks a military victory for the Sandinistas, who hope to finish off the freedom fighters before American help can arrive. We implore Congress not to delay and to provide that help. For 2 years, the freedom fighters have gotten no military assistance from the United States, except that that some of you know has been provided; and Moscow has provided a half a billion dollars in arms.
Defeat for the contras would mean a second Cuba on the mainland of North America. It'd be a major defeat in the quest for democracy in our hemisphere, and it would mean consolidation of a privileged sanctuary
for terrorists and subversives just 2 days' driving time from Harlingen, Texas."

The packing-houses themselves were built by local capitalists with some assistance from the outside. It was these middle-men, who stood between rancher and importer, that cashed in on the beef bonanza. The Somoza family were movers and shakers in the packing-house industry. As monopolists, they could paid the rancher meager prices and sell the processed beef at a premium price since demand for beef was at an all-time high.
In addition, the Somoza family used its profits and loans from foreign investors to buy up huge swaths of land in Nicaragua to create cattle ranches. They had already acquired 51 ranches before the beef-export boom, but by 1979, after two decades of export-led growth, their holdings and those of their cronies had expanded to more than 2 million acres, more than half of which was in the best grazing sectors. It was these properties and the packing-houses that became nationalized immediately after the FSLN triumph.
They are now.

Kenneth D. Knapp is charged with battery and criminal damage to property.
A 22-year-old woman and Barry L. Hornburg, 25, of Manitowoc, told police Knapp struck them with the cane in the 2400 block of Washington Street. They left the area and Knapp followed them. Knapp swung the cane at their vehicle, hitting the woman in the arm and breaking the vehicle’s signal light, according to the report.
Hornburg is charged with battery because he returned to confront Knapp. Knapp told police Hornburg hit his arm with a pipe-like object, according to a report.
Yeah, LBJ was terrified that he'd be accused of "losing Vietnam", and subject to wingnut villification for it.
So he went into deep muddy up to the waist, and his legacy is decidedly split between his tremendous effort with civil rights and fighting poverty and the utter disaster that was the war in Vietnam.
