Wanta Save the Economy? Give Workers a Raise
by Mike Whitney
A specter is haunting Wall Street---the specter of insolvency. One major player, Bear Stearns, has already hit the canvas, and by the looks of it, another may be on the way. It's getting ugly out there. The so-called TED spread---which measures the willingness of banks to lend to each other---has begun to widen ominously suggesting that the money markets believe another body will soon be floating to the surface. | Media shit storms and heartland reality
by Joe Bageant
There seems to be no end to the media mediocrity we must suffer in this country. Now we have the Obama Guns, God and Bitterness shit storm, with the shit pouring forth from the same media scuppers (scuppers are outlet sewage blowholes on the sides of ships) as usual: The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, CNN.com, the Associated Press, Fox News, Reuters, Politico, the Lou Dobbs Show, Hardball, Olbermann's Countdown, The Atlantic.com, The DailyKos, TalkingPointsMemo… | Chaos Theory, the Buddha and Cultural Evolution
by Dr. Gerry Lower
My son, Kalen, and I watched a movie last evening named "Chaos" because "Chaos Theory" (Edward Lorentz, 1961) was beneath the plot of it all. I have been criticized for attempting to extract wisdom from "pop culture," but there is no sin in doing so. Wisdom is found everywhere in this world and it is found wherever one finds it. | Art: Memorial Gift to Local Church Shows How a Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever.
by Fred Cederholm
I’ve been thinking about art. Actually I’ve been thinking about beauty, St. Johns, the Erickson family, memorials/ remembering/ honoring, peace, and joy. Presently there is so much happening in the world that is negative, hateful, and destructive to the human spirit that we so often forget (or choose to ignore) the counterbalancing side to the human condition which builds our spirits, and gives us the strength to cope and continue on. Sometimes we need to stop and appreciate the things of beauty, of hope, of love, and of peace which are there to enrich and to strengthen us.

by Case Wagenvoord
Every once in a while I come across an article whose ideas and prose grab me by the throat and hold tight until it is ready to let go. This happened to me, recently, when I read Bernard Chazelle’s piece, “Saving the American Left: The case for a New Progressive Creed" at http://www.smirkingchimp.com/pring/13843. | Focusing the Outrage
by Michael Kwiatkowski
If you've read my posts you know I'm no fan of Barack Obama, and that I have a distinct tendency to display copious amounts of Righteous Indignation. There's a reason for that, but there is always a danger in creating outrage fatigue, so today I'm going to try to help put it all into perspective. | Jewish Liberals to Launch A Counterpoint to AIPAC
by Michael Abramowitz
Some of the country's most prominent Jewish liberals are forming a political action committee and lobbying group aimed at dislodging what they consider the excessive hold of neoconservatives and evangelical Christians on U.S. policy toward Israel.The group is planning to channel political contributions to favored candidates in perhaps a half-dozen campaigns this fall, the first time an organization focused on Israel has tried to play such a direct role in the political process, according to its organizers. | Ohio Considers Allowing Concealed Weapons On Campuses

by CapitolHillBlue.com
As a gun owner and hunter, I have trouble welcoming Hillary Clinton into the gun fraternity...or sorority in her case.And, as a recovering alcoholic who used to toss down more than his share of shots, I have even more trouble imagining an evening at the local bar tossing back boilermakers with the Democratic Presidential pretender. | Here's Mariah songs Idols will sing Tuesday
by Sun-Sentinel.com
OK, let's play an American Idol game. (Sorry for thinking of this so late.) Mariah Tuesday is Mariah Carey night (she'll perform Wednesday), which doesn't figure to be easy for the guys. But The Beatles were no picnic for the women. Here are the remaining finalists: David Archuleta, Jason Castro, David Cook, Kristy Lee Cook, Syesha Mercado, Carly Smithson and Brooke White. | Jury finds 'DC Madam' guilty on four counts
by Raw Story
A Washington jury has convicted Deborah Jean Palfrey, who became known as the DC Madam, on four counts including money laundering and racketeering in connection with a running a prostitution ring, according to news reports."When a man agrees to pay $250 for 90 minutes with a woman, what do most men expect in that time?" prosecutor Daniel Butler said during closing arguments Monday. "In that context, it's pretty clear. Most men want sex." | Florida Gov. Crist signs guns at work bill
