2009-03-15 21:27:00 The following editorial appeared in today?s Philadelphia Inquirer, including this excerpt?President Obama 's first 50 days in office ended with doubled-barreled shotgun blasts from conservatives, who accused him of not only reneging on his pledge to be bipartisan, but - horror of horrors - taking the United States down the primrose path to socialism.Ooooh, scary stuff. Of course, neither charge is true.First of all, any nation that provides Medicaid, food stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and a host of other equally valuable programs that redistribute tax dollars has already walked more than a few steps down the lane to socialism.

Some Friday "Meta" Musings
2009-03-13 22:59:00 I recently had a discussion with a friend of mine about the topic I?m about to address, and I thought I?d share some of what we discussed (I?ve tried to find a way to work this into a post, but I?ve been unsuccessful).To begin, I should point out that there are a lot of people out there doing good work when it comes to organizing others into a consensus on a particular issue (I immediately think of folks like Michael Morrill at Keystone Progress when I say that, individuals who haven?t let up one inch since the election, as well as MoveOn.org and other business-related advocacy groups).

Where The Rubber Meets The Road (3/13/09)
2009-03-13 21:57:00 As reported in last Sunday's Philadelphia Inquirer, here is how Philadelphia-area members of Congress were recorded on major roll-call votes last week (not a lot happening...and I also posted over here).HouseBankruptcy, mortgages. Voting 234-191, the House passed a bill (HR 1106) empowering bankruptcy courts to lower the principal on mortgages on main residences after borrowers have exhausted other refinancing options. The bill, which applies to Chapter 13 proceedings, would permanently raise to $250,000 per depositor per institution the level of government insurance on checking, savings, and money market accounts and certificates of deposit. That level of Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. protection is now in effect temporarily.A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate.Voting yes: John Adler (D., N.J.), Robert E.

Little Ricky?s Obama-Rama Stem Cell Slam
2009-03-12 19:18:00 (And by the way, I also posted here.)Before I say another word, here is a Rasmussen link showing that 52 percent of those polled approved of President Barack Obama ?s loosening of federal funding restrictions on embryonic stem cell research here (Rasmussen trends conservative, so that number is likely to be higher), with embryonic stem cell research enjoying the majority of public support in 2007 here, with even most Republicans supporting it in 2005, as noted here.So basically, there really shouldn?t be much more to say about this (at least, you would think so, though I certainly respect someone?s right to dissent on this matter). However, you can leave it to PA?s former Senator Man-On-Dog to wax indignant over it, as follows?Thanks to both high-resolution fetal ultrasounds and the recent debate over partial-birth abortions, opinion polls now reflect a pro-life shift, most especially among our youth.I don?t know how exactly that ties into the statistics I linked to above, but the fa...

"Deriving" A Lesson From Greenspan's Giant Goof
2009-03-11 21:10:00 (And by the way, I also posted here.)To the pages of the Murdoch Street Journal we go for an opinion column today by former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, who tells us the following about our current economic crisis (I believe ?The Great Recession? is the catchphrase currently being trial-tested by our corporate media, though I can see absolutely nothing ?great? about it).(By the way, since I am hardly an economist, this post will contain primarily extended excerpts from more knowledgeable individuals in that subject than your humble narrator ? I think they can make my case much better than I can).For now, though, here is what Greenspan said in the Journal today?There are at least two broad and competing explanations of the origins of this crisis. The first is that the "easy money" policies of the Federal Reserve produced the U.S. housing bubble that is at the core of today's financial mess.The second, and far more credible, explanation agrees that it was indeed lower int...

2009-03-11 03:44:00 I think this is one of the most sensible explanations for a FULLY DISCLOSED earmark that I've ever heard from (shockingly) a Republican (Bucks County Courier Times Editorial Board, among others, please take note); the summary is provided here by Senator Bob Bennett of Utah, which he is trying to communicate to Fox hairdo Megyn Kelly, truly one of the stupidest people on the planet; Bennett makes the point at least twice that the money was appropriated by his committee anyway so it would have been spent regardless and there wasn't enough time to debate about allocating the funds for cricket eradication (and by the way, the earmarks in the omnibus spending bill amount to about 2 percent of the total funds, let's not forget)."Pay to play" for cricket eradication...what, are the crickets going to conspire on bribing Bennett with a jaunt at a ski lodge so he'll be inclined to disallow the earmark?

Another "Doubting Thomas"
2009-03-10 22:50:00 (Hey, as long as we?re invoking spirituality here?)This is a familiar refrain for me, I know, but I have an issue with any news organization of some size serving a metropolitan area that publishes a column pertaining to matters of personal faith. And the reason why is because the opinions expressed inevitably lapse into kind of a Judeo/Christian sensibility, which would be fine if we were a Judeo/Christian nation. The problem, of course, is that we are not (in our entirety, I mean).And those opinions inevitably come from people who believe they have the right to comment on the religious practices and opinions of others (and though I?m sure you may have noticed by now, I only comment on the religious practices and opinions of my own faith, because that is all I know).With that setup out of the way, here is a link to today?s ?On Faith? column in the Washington Post by Cal Thomas (a repeat offender based on this prior post), including the following from today?It's peculiar that Presid...
Showdown Day On The EFCA
2009-03-10 19:31:00 Once again, Bob Herbert does a good job of ?connecting the dots? today in the New York Times (here, and I also posted here)?Working families were in deep trouble long before this megarecession hit. But too many of the public officials who should have been looking out for the middle class and the poor were part of the reckless and shockingly shortsighted alliance of conservatives and corporate leaders that rigged the economy in favor of the rich and ultimately brought it down completely.As Jared Bernstein, now the chief economic adviser to Vice President Joseph Biden, wrote in the preface to his book, ?Crunch: Why Do I Feel So Squeezed? (And Other Unsolved Economic Mysteries)?:?Economics has been hijacked by the rich and powerful, and it has been forged into a tool that is being used against the rest of us.?Working people were not just abandoned by big business and their ideological henchmen in government, they were exploited and humiliated.

Tuesday Newt Nonsense From "The Old Gray Lady"
2009-03-04 02:55:00 It was really stunning, I must admit, to read the profile of Baby Newt on Leroy Gingrich by Matt Bai in the New York Times Magazine last Sunday.I suppose it is news that Gingrich?s self-serving tome ?Real Change? spent 11 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. And I guess it?s an accomplishment that he was able to con some of our more gullible brethren (a million, more or less) into signing a petition to ?drill here, drill now, pay less? (of course, domestic drilling for oil would only have a marginal effect on prices, one which would not be realized for years if it were realized at all, as noted here).However, since we?re talking about Newt, trivialities like facts should not apply, I realize (with the entire Republican Party pretty much ?through the looking glass? anyway), particularly concerning the following proposal from a guy identified by Repug Congressman Paul Ryan (a man with his own issues, as noted here near the bottom) as an ?idea factory???(Gingrich) will have 10 i...
