Under the Radar
Author: BobR
Date: 03/25/2011 12:44:34
With the military action in Libya, and nuclear crisis in Japan, the goings-on here in the U.S. seem to be slipping by under the radar. In particular, those international news stories are giving cover to the Republicans' actions. Let's take a closer look...
There's been a lot of "will he or won't he" with regard to the Newt running for president. I think Rachel Maddow hit the nail on the head when she said he is mostly interested in raising money for himself. The same goes for Sarah Palin. Will she actually run? No - but she teases the Republican base like a high school cheerleader in the back seat of a car, and the fame and fortune continue to pour in.
But who else is dipping their toes in the water? Would you believe Michelle Bachmann?? Yes, the Queen of Crazy is considering it:
But Pawlenty hasn't officially "come out" as a Republican presidential candidate. Leave that to a gay Republican businessman from California:
It's interesting that a Republican from California is so "liberal". Does that make him a "Red Dog Republican"? It makes sense though, since there are conservative democrats from conservative states. It helps to understand why parties don't always vote en masse like one would expect.
In other news: I know most of you have heard about this already, but Maine's governor has ordered the removal of a mural depicting Maine's labor history - from the walls of the Dept. of Labor building. Why? Because it is not "pro-business". That's like asking a depiction of the universe with the earth NOT at its center to be removed from the Dept. of Education because it is not pro-Bible. Seriously - it's the Dept. of Labor, not the Dept. of Commerce. This is yet another attack on labor (ie: unions).
In other anti-labor news, an Indiana prosecuter had to resign after advising Wisconsin governor Scott Walker to stage a "false flag" attack on himself to generate anti-union sentiment:
Walker did not take the advice, instead using a parliamentary procedure to enact the anti-union legislation separate from the budget, proving that the meaure - previously part of the budget - had nothing at all to do with deficit reduction.
Finally - if you created a Venn diagram of racists, Republicans, and Arizona, it would look like a single perfect circle. An Arizona state legistlator has created a controversy by reading a racist letter in the State Senate. The letter - from a subsitute teacher - said:
This is not fact, this is opinion. Why do the rants of a bigot rate this kind of official recognition? Because it's Arizona and these are Republicans. Oy....
We now return you to your regularly scheduled Libya/Japan news fest...
There's been a lot of "will he or won't he" with regard to the Newt running for president.

No - but she teases the Republican base like a high school cheerleader in the back seat of a car, and the fame and fortune continue to pour in.
But who else is dipping their toes in the water? Would you believe Michelle Bachmann?? Yes, the Queen of Crazy is considering it:
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) will form an exploratory committee by this summer if she decides to run for president next year.
A source close to Bachmann insisted Thursday the three-term lawmaker hasn't made a final decision. The source said the likelihood of a 2012 presidential bid "has increased" over the past several weeks but that "there's nothing set in stone."
[...]
After former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Bachmann would be the second Minnesotan in the 2012 race.
But Pawlenty hasn't officially "come out" as a Republican presidential candidate. Leave that to a gay Republican businessman from California:
Meet Fred Karger: He's the first official entrant in the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. He's also openly gay, a proud feminist, pro-same sex marriage, pro-abortion-rights, and a critic of Sarah Palin who thinks many Republicans are hypocrites.
"There is no place for hatred and bigotry in this country," Karger said Wednesday in a statement. "I want to be a participant and help shape the debate in the Republican Party and our nation."
Karger, a California businessman and the first openly gay presidential candidate for a major political party, is a long-shot at best who will have a terrifically hard time winning over more than a tiny fraction of the Republican base. He doesn't anticipate being invited to the debates, but says he'll fight to be heard.
It's interesting that a Republican from California is so "liberal". Does that make him a "Red Dog Republican"? It makes sense though, since there are conservative democrats from conservative states. It helps to understand why parties don't always vote en masse like one would expect.

In other anti-labor news, an Indiana prosecuter had to resign after advising Wisconsin governor Scott Walker to stage a "false flag" attack on himself to generate anti-union sentiment:
In an email from February 19, Indiana deputy prosecutor Carlos F. Lam told Walker the situation presented "a good opportunity for what’s called a ‘false flag’ operation."
[...]
"If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions' cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the unions," Lam said in his email.
"Currently, the media is painting the union protest as a democratic uprising and failing to mention the role of the DNC and umbrella union organizations in the protest," he continued. "Employing a false flag operation would assist in undercutting any support that the media may be creating in favor of the unions."
Lam resigned from his position after the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism published an article about his email.
Walker did not take the advice, instead using a parliamentary procedure to enact the anti-union legislation separate from the budget, proving that the meaure - previously part of the budget - had nothing at all to do with deficit reduction.
Finally - if you created a Venn diagram of racists, Republicans, and Arizona, it would look like a single perfect circle. An Arizona state legistlator has created a controversy by reading a racist letter in the State Senate. The letter - from a subsitute teacher - said:
"Most of the Hispanic students do not want to be educated but rather be gang members and gangsters," State Sen. Lori Klein said, reading from the letter at the prompting of Senate President Russell Pearce.
"They hate America and are determined to reclaim this area for Mexico."
"If we are able to remove the illegals out of our schools, the class sizes would be reduced and the students who wanted to learn would have a better chance to do so and become productive citizens," the letter continued. "Thank you for standing up to this invasion."
This is not fact, this is opinion. Why do the rants of a bigot rate this kind of official recognition? Because it's Arizona and these are Republicans. Oy....

Mornin' all & Happy Fridee! 
Lil bit spacy this morning. I was woken up at about 3:30am by a real nasty leg cramp, then while I was trying to work it out the other leg started cramping.. I had to do the chicken dance with my toes pointing up for about a half hour trying to massage the knots out before they finally went away it was QUITE the sight. During this whole thing I also managed to pop a vicodin (thinking it might kick in and help relax things)... and it caused me to oversleep so now I'm sore, tired, and mildly spaced out!

The one that kills me is the proposal to cut off food stamps to the entire family if one member happens to go on strike; I don't recall if that was state or federal doing that one.
And Ms. Bachmann's advocacy of home-schooling rather concerns me. I've known a handful of home-schoolers throughought my scouting career, and one of the things the parents tell me is they want their kids in the program so they can "interact with other kids".
And the parents themselves....they've been either survivalist, anti-government types...or religious wingnuts. I've not seen any other kind of parent home-school.
And remember, this is a suburb of Boston we're talking about; I'm not out in the woods somewhere.

Now that Arizona story -- that is amazing. These people REALLY don't seem to know what racism is.

So we are actually dropping food instead of bombs.
White House Commits $12.6 Million for Côte d’Ivoire Humanitarian Response
President Obama announced that the U.S. Government, through the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, will provide $12.6 million in emergency funds to international and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) assisting refugee and other displaced populations resulting from recent political unrest and violence in Côte d’Ivoire. More than 75,000 refugees have fled Côte d’Ivoire, mainly to Liberia. Hundreds of thousands more are internally displaced in Côte d’Ivoire.

There is two other kinds of parent who home schools - and get this from my neighbors how have done it for a while - 1) is the parents of the kids that get picked on or bullied and 2)are the parents who feel the school isn't keeping up with the level at which their kid is learning

You missed Dr. Maddow last night...check out the podcast.
She had an expert on about a new wrinkle...they've been pumping salt water into the reactors, which in turn has turned into steam. Leaving behind literally tons of salt inside the reactor vessels.
Salt retains heat; there's now concern that the fuel rods are encrusted in salt and any further water pumped in isn't reaching them and cooling it down.
Very bad, indeed.

Nicole Sandler is filling in today and next week while Randi moves back to Florida. Either things didn't work out with Harold or she didn't want to pay for two residences.
Comment by Raine on 03/25/2011 19:16:56
I'm sort of sorry she didn't like DC. Perhaps she took it too seriously.
