    Justice Series: What's the Right thing to do?



    ACORN Head Bertha Lewis on Democracy Now

    Bertha Lewis does a good job defending her organization and speaking out about how her organization is being targeted by those that are no longer in power. She may have made a mistake by not warning her employees that these actors were out there trying to trap employees into providing erroneous advice which would result in crimes being committed. However, in her defense, [...]



    all of a piece

    From the Wall Street Journal:

    The nation’s wealth gap is widening amid an uproar about lofty pay packages in the financial world.

    Executives and other highly compensated employees now receive more than one-third of all pay in the U.S., according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Social Security Administration data – without counting billions of dollars more in pay that remains off federal radar screens that [...]



    War is Hell and McNamara Belongs There

    as Joe Galloway points out.  Even though not even of draft age, I still vividly remember having a very bad opinion of McNamara.  He was the Rumsfeld of the Vietnam War and detested even more than Rumsfeld it seemed, perhaps because there was much more anti-war fervor in those times.  McNamara, unlike “Dumbsfeld”, did a much better job of convincing the silent majority that the [...]

    The Real Bankruptcy — Congress

    Money buys results in Congress. Return on investment is estimated at 22,000% on money given to Congress. Money is the Model. – Lessig

    Our Representative Baird voted for the Bankruptcy Bill in 2005.

    Change Congress. Support the Fair Elections Now Act.

    This is the real problem behind all the other ones…

    i shouldn’t be shocked, and yet…

    From today’s Cargo Business News:

    A supertanker cargo of Alaska North Slope crude ASW- is headed for the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, an unusual destination for crude from Alaska, a spokesman for Exxon Mobil’s (XOM.N) shipping affiliate confirmed Wednesday.

    The Alaska crude is similar in gravity and sulfur content to some Gulf Coast grades of oil, but there could be nonmarket reasons for the voyage, including retiring [...]
