And chekc this out for brillaint community organizer organizing. I have an e mail off his old e mail list telling me to spend time calling up Jim McDermott! Wow, brilliant targetting! He's certain to be a no vote, right? So here we are on the DAY OF and all 30,000 folks in Seattle on that e mail list should waste their freaking time calling him up. How incredibly lame.
On that abortion thing, methinks Slog is very uninformed, current law says no federal money for abortions and the plan for health care reform has always been to keep to that during this whole debate.
And if you want to blame someone, blame the leader of the team, Obama.
Coming off democratic losses in two states, seeing unemployment hit 10.2 percent the fucking highest since the freaking great depression, coming into the final stage of the health care reform debate, you better call him quick cuz he's a gonna go on a big long Asian tour soon.
That's our community organizer beating the bushes for health care reform.
I hope he starts talking about the "jobs deficit" a million times a week. I'm so sick of the budget deficit capturing all the media framing, why don't we talk about the jobs deficit and how the GOP created it and how the democrats are addressing it?
oh wait, they're not going to, anymore that's what inadequately been done already.
Tough luck, jobless! Ya shouldn't have actually believed in the hope hype I guess. But rest assured he will improve our image in ASIA!
Overall, the elections were pretty much a victory for liberalism and progressives. Maine was the only really bad point, but even they loosened regulations on marijuana.

Regarding Greed: The recent PBS Frontline documentary on Brooksley Born is fascinating. Greenspan, Sommers, Levitt, Rubin and Geithner all had an influential hand in railroading this woman out of implementing stock market regulation 10 years ago. Now, they are "expressing regret."
Maybe you need to have smarter people tell you what you think you think.

Um, it might be a Merrie Melody, though.
In a comment left in response to a Central Distrcit News post, JM wrote:
Q13 just reported the suspect, who did not fire a weapon, was shot in the back of the head, and in the back.
In response to a seattlecrime.com post, someone claiming to be a neighbor wrote:
Kiro just reported he is in critical condition and his way into emergency surgery. If you say the live coverage shortly after he was shot they flung him onto the streatcher without a backboard and raced off.
WH wrote:
King had a chopper circling - they showed the guy prior to medics. Shot was to torso-abdomen area.
Someone (else?) claiming to be a neighbor wrote:
In the pictures of the suspect both when he was shot and when he arrived at harborview there weren't any bandages on his head. Oddly he also didn't appear to be on oxygen (which would be basic care for a gun shot wound anyplace on his body). The new coverage also showed them literally jerking him up by his legs onto the stretcher - so if he was shot in the belly odd that they didn't backboard him?
Can someone provide a link to the aforementioned video or still images?
Perhaps a year of Obama has taught you to find "victory" where ever you can.
And to consider two kicks in the balls 'pretty much a victory'.
How Unemployed are You? U.S. unemployment rate is at 10.9 percent—over 10 percent for the first time since 1983. But it's kinda really 17.5 percent.
I think I'll live to see this mess go from "the worst financial crisis since the great depression" to "the Second Great Depression".
Jonah is making sure to call him an "alleged" suspect.
That would makes sense if the police didn't call him a suspect.

Abortion kills a human.
98.4% of the 845,000 abortions in America this year will be performed for trivial reasons.
The trivial slaughter of 830,000 humans is not legitimate.
