Glenn Greenwald: Blame the all-powerful left!
Chris Floyd: Democrats and progressives are crying doom over the party's defeat in Massachusetts. The loss, we're told, is a blow to Barack Obama's political agenda, and so it is. They say it's a shame that yet another rightwing zealot who advocates torture is now in the Senate, and so it is. But it is precisely that agenda that led to the loss, and the shame. It is that agenda which has resurrected a rightwing party that was dead in the water, and empowered its most extreme elements.
And what is Barack Obama's agenda? What is his political program? It breaks down into three main elements: unwinnable wars, unconscionable bailouts, and unworkable, unwanted health care "reform" that forces people to further enrich some of the most despised conglomerates in the land. It is, in every way, a recipe for moral, economic and political disaster. It is a gigantic anchor tied around the neck of the Democratic Party, and it will drag the whole lumbering wreck back to the bottom in short order.
It also provides a fertile breeding ground for the willful, belligerent ignorance of the Right to thrive.

Contractor admits to bribing W-B school board member
ReplyDelete3112450.jpg
SCRANTON - A Luzerne County carpet dealer pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to providing a Wilkes-Barre Area School Board member with a free rug in exchange for his help in securing a lucrative school district contract.
Richard Emanski, the owner of Swoyersville-based King Glass and Paint Co., installed carpeting in the home of the school board member - identified by The Citizens' Voice as former Wilkes-Barre Area President Jim Height - in late 2004, federal prosecutors said.

ReplyDeleteIn the 2008 election, Obama received 1,891,083 votes in Massachusetts compared to 1,104,284 for his Republican opponent, John McCain. Brown appears likely, when all votes are counted, to match or actually exceed McCain’s total, while Coakley’s vote represents a dropoff of about 50 percent from Obama’s total 14 months ago.
It must be said that this is a defeat the Democratic Party made possible and richly deserved. Obama’s right-wing policies on the bank bailout, his cost-cutting healthcare overhaul and his continuation and expansion of the wars of the Bush administration have antagonized millions who supported him in 2008 and alienated Democratic Party base voters.
Anecdotal reports indicated light turnout in African-American and other minority districts in Boston, Springfield and other cities, and a comparatively heavy turnout in more upscale middle-class suburbs, particularly around Boston, where Brown rolled up large margins. Brown was leading among union members in pre-election polls, in part because of the Obama administration’s support for a tax on higher-cost employer-sponsored healthcare plans.
The Obama administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress have been indifferent to the economic distress of broad masses of workers and middle-class people, while doling out trillions in federal resources to prop up the banks and enable them to return to profitability and dispense gargantuan bonuses to executives and traders.

Florida Freeze Kills Estimated 70% of Southwest Vegetable Crop
By Elizabeth Campbell
Jan. 19 (Bloomberg) -- At least 70 percent of southwest Florida’s winter crop of vegetables, including tomatoes and peppers, were destroyed by freezing weather, said Gene McAvoy, the director of the Hendry County extension office for the University of Florida.
Losses will be more than $100 million, McAvoy said today in a telephone interview. Tomatoes, peppers, squash and cucumbers are the major crops in the estimate, he said. In the U.S. winter, Florida provides about 70 percent of the tomatoes sold in the nation, McAvoy said from LaBelle, Florida.

It’s the biggest bank robbery in American history, but the banks are doing the robbing. I mean, just go through the facts. What, overnight in 2008 they turned Goldman Sachs, that venerable investment bank - how about casinos that gambled and lost - into a bank holding company. Why? Well, so that they could borrow at ridiculously low rates and they could be given approximately $10 billion dollars to put them on the road to gambling.
ReplyDeleteAnd then what happened? It’s not that they’re a bank. I mean, do you go to a Goldman Sachs ATM machine? Do you have Goldman Sachs checks? Do you go to your Goldman Sachs branch?
It’s highway robbery right in front of us. They’re nothing more than a hedge fund and they’re making money off the sweat of the American people. So, when we’re looking at this time and time again, we’re just looking at all this printed money going absolutely nowhere other than into the pockets of a few.”
The amazing thing about this scam is that it happened in broad daylight, the American people knew it was happening, both the Bush and Obama administrations enabled it, Congress supported it, and The Fed clicked the mouse to make the transfer.

ReplyDeleteHeavy California storms force hundreds to evacuate
20 Jan 2010 18:49:24 GMT
Source: Reuters
* Region pounded by third in series of storms
* Authorities fear mudslides in areas left barren by fires
LOS ANGELES, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Authorities on Wednesday ordered the evacuation of 750 homes in the foothills around Los Angeles, fearing that the third in a series of powerful storms would trigger flash flooding and mudslides.
More than 500 of the homes under evacuation orders were in communities north of Los Angeles, where hillsides are still barren from a massive wildfire that burned there last summer and saturated from heavy rain that fell on Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday's storm was expected to be the worst so far, with 80 mile-per-hour winds and up to several inches of rainfall.
"With the first two storms (this week) we got lucky," Bill Patzert, a climatologist for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told the Los Angeles Times.
"Monday we got the right jab, Tuesday we got the left jab, Wednesday we could get the haymaker to the chin," Patzert said.
Already, the storms pounding the region this week have flooded intersections in the cities of Long Beach and San Pedro, near Los Angeles, damaging some homes and apartments.

ReplyDeleteThe President's steadfast refusal to acknowledge that we have a two-party system, his insistence on making destructive concessions to the same party voters he had sent packing twice in a row in the name of "bipartisanship," and his refusal ever to utter the words "I am a Democrat" and to articulate what that means, are not among his virtues. We have competing ideas in a democracy -- and hence competing parties -- for a reason. To paper them over and pretend they do not exist, particularly when the ideology of one of the parties has proven so devastating to the lives of everyday Americans, is not a virtue. It is an abdication of responsibility.
What happens if you refuse to lay the blame for the destruction of our economy on anyone -- particularly the party, leaders, and ideology that were in power for the last 8 years and were responsible for it? What happens if you fail to "brand" what has happened as the Bush Depression or the Republican Depression or the natural result of the ideology of unregulated greed, the way FDR branded the Great Depression as Hoover's Depression and created a Democratic majority for 50 years and a new vision of what effective government can do? What happens when you fail to offer and continually reinforce a narrative about what has happened, who caused it, and how you're going to fix it that Americans understand, that makes them angry, that makes them hopeful, and that makes them committed to you and your policies during the tough times that will inevitably lie ahead?
The answer was obvious a year ago, and it is even more obvious today: Voters will come to blame you for not having solved a problem you didn't create, and you will allow the other side to create an alternative narrative for what's happened (government spending, deficits, big government, socialism) that will stick. And it will particularly stick if you make no efforts to prevent it from starting or sticking.

ReplyDeleteYee - Haaa,.. Demos have an excuse for failure.

The worst is that I can't help but feel like the main emotion people in the caucus are feeling is relief at this turn of events. Now they have a ready excuse for not getting anything done. While I always thought we had the better ideas but the weaker messaging, it feels like somewhere along the line Members internalized a belief that we actually have weaker ideas. They're afraid to actually implement them and face the judgement of the voters. That's the scariest dynamic and what makes me think this will all come crashing down around us in November.
...............
This is my life and I simply can't answer the fundamental question: "what do Democrats stand for?" Voters don't know, and we can't make the case, so they're reacting exactly as you'd expect (just as they did in 1994, 2000, and 2004). We either find the voice to answer that question and exercise the strongest majority and voter mandate we've had since Watergate, or we suffer a bloodbath in November. History shows we're likely to choose the latter.

ReplyDeleteMorrell (Smithfield) will close Sioux City plant in April (1500 + jobs)
By Dave Dreeszen, Journal business editor
SIOUX CITY -- Smithfield Foods told meatpacking workers and local leaders late Tuesday that it plans to close its John Morrell & Co. pork plant in Sioux City later this spring
The decision would deal a major blow to metro Sioux City's economy. Morrell's slaughter and processing plant at 1200 Bluff Road is one of the city's largest employers, with nearly 1,500 workers.
Dozens of additional jobs, from trucking to cold storage to box making, also could be in jeopardy. In addition, Morrell is a major buyer of hogs from tri-state region pork producers.
Late Tuesday afternoon, the Sioux City plant's general manager, Dan Pacquin, called Mayor Mike Hobart to notify the city that the slaughter and processing plant would close on April 20, city economic development director Marty Dougherty said.

It also provides a fertile breeding ground for the willful, belligerent ignorance of the Right to thrive.

Who would not be against unwinnable war, unconscionable bailouts and unworkable boondoggles serving rapacious elites? The actual positions held by these opponents – the actual policies they will pursue once in power – are given little scrutiny in such circumstances. The opponent represents change from a hated status quo – and that's enough. Later, when their odious positions come to light, it is too late.
Where have we seen this dynamic at work before? Oh yes, it was way back in November 2008. Barack Obama represented change from the hated status quo, from the agenda of the ruling Republican party. And what was that agenda? Why, unwinnable wars, unconscionable bailouts and the assiduous service of rapacious elites.

The plane was a USAir flight run by Chautequa Air.
At least 12 police cars and fire vehicles were seen heading to the airport, according to Fox Philadelphia.
One person was taken away from the plane in custody and the rest of the passengers were released.
It's unsure exactly what happened. The airline called it a "security situation."
The airplane is on a remote part of the tarmac at Philadelphia International. Other flights in and out of the airport are not being affected by the incident.

'Hamas accepts Israel's right to exist'
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
Hamas has accepted Israel's right to exist and would be prepared to nullify its charter, which calls for the destruction of Israel, Aziz Dwaik, Hamas's most senior representative in the West Bank, said on Wednesday.

SLIDESHOW: Israel & Region | World
Dwaik's remarks are seen in the context of Hamas's attempts to win recognition from the international community.
Dwaik is the elected speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council. He was released a few months ago after spending nearly three years in an Israeli prison.
Dwaik was among dozens of Hamas officials and members who were rounded up by Israel following the abduction of IDF soldier St.-Sgt. Gilad Schalit near the Gaza Strip in June 2006.
His latest remarks were made during a meeting he held in Hebron with British millionaire David Martin Abrahams, who maintains close ties with senior Israeli and British government officials.
Abrahams is scheduled to brief British Foreign Secretary David Milliband this weekend on the outcome of his meeting with Dwaik and other top Hamas officials in the West Bank.
