Dow +150 NASDAQ +38; the market seems to like Citigroups $7.5 billion capital infusion from Abu Dhabi. China has set up its $250 billion fund and you have to wonder if they are considering similar moves. In any case it is good to see some equity recovery.

I watch less than an hour of t.v. a week, and even that is just my Recommended Daily Allowance of the Daily Show via the internets. But the networks’ stance on the writers’ contract still pisses me off beyond even the pain of losing real-time Jon Stewart.
United Hollywood has a campaign going to send [...]

This is about how technology, combined with monopolization, outsourcing, possibly anti-terrorism security legislation and an overemphasis on corporate control can often cause more problems than it solves. It is also about how I spent much of my Saturday morning. Sit back, grap a cup of java. It is a long story. [...]

[ November 9, 2007; 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm. ] Mike Ellison from Vancouver for Peace sends us this message:
Dear Peacemakers, I don’t usually pass on these alerts, but I know that many of you care deeply about media ownership. This is from FreePress.net. If you plan to drive and have room for passengers, you could write to this list with your [...]

From Edwards yesterday:
…
It’s time to tell the truth. And the truth is the system in Washington is corrupt. It is rigged by the powerful special interests to benefit they very few at the expense of the many. And as a result, the American people have lost faith in our broken system in [...]

Georgie’s radio address on Saturday (I can’t listen to the moron without getting nauseous, but I do read the transcripts):
…Last week, we learned that September was America’s 49th consecutive month of job creation — the longest uninterrupted period of job growth on record.
As usual, Chimpy is full of shit. From the Bureau of Labor [...]

I have been reading Naomi Klien’s The Shock Doctrine, but I haven’t finished it yet.
Why?
It is the only book I’ve ever read where the facts are so horrendous that I have to put the book down to keep from becoming physically ill.

I propose that the only way to regain our corrupt government is to GO ON STRIKE. Necessary positions such as fire, police and medical could still work but the rest of us should just stay home. We can survive a month or two at home if we stick together. People brag how they would be [...]
