Friday's Daily Brief

2010-07-16       The Daily Brief     Mitchell Bard: The Financial Regulation Vote Shows That the GOP Is not the Solution AP Mitchell Bard: Republican policies precipitated the recession, and the party's solutions are to offer more of the same. And when it came to deciding who to stand up for, the Republicans attacked the unemployed and stood with the banks. Americans' anger is legitimate, but directing that anger by giving power back to the GOP is misplaced. If Americans want to assess blame for these woes, and if they want to choose who should help get us out of these messes, they have an obligation in a democracy to make an effort to really look at the issues before making a decision. And the media, likewise, has an obligation to sort through these complicated issues more carefully. Click here to read more. George Lakoff: Conservatism's Death Gusher Those who are not held captive by the conservative worldview should be able to recognize the causal role of conservatism in the Death Gusher in the Gulf.

David Fiderer: Why Goldman Got the S.E.C. to Back Off The weaknesses in the S.E.C.'s case against Goldman were obvious.

As NAACP aims to stay in national debate, charge of tea party racism draws fire

As NAACP aims to stay in national debate, charge of tea party racism draws fire: "One thing is clear as the NAACP gathers this week for its 101st annual meeting: The civil rights organization is intent on being seen as still relevant."

Nasty 'tea party'-NAACP racism feud: Who's right? - CSMonitor.com

That question arises because leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the largest civil rights group in the US, on Tuesday approved a resolution condemning racism within the tea party movement. Some tea party groups tolerate bigotry, said the NAACP officials.

Monday's Daily Brief

2010-07-12       The Daily Brief     Robert Kuttner: Question for the Tea Party: Why the Free Ride for Republicans Protecting Bankers? AP Robert Kuttner: This financial reform bill may be a day late and a dollar short. But starting the process of reining in the banks is the antidote to the bailout and to future bailouts -- both politically and in terms of better policy. And it's Republicans and Wall Streeters who are trying to kill it. That's not so hard to explain. The president should be using his bully pulpit to shame the banking lobby and its Republican toadies, and to associate himself and the Democrats with stronger housecleaning. Click here to read more. Heather Reisman: Let's Get Noisy Last week, like so many others, I was horrified to read that a 43-year-old woman in Iran had been sentenced to be stoned to death for an alleged act of adultery.

Again The neocons who began banging the drum for an invasion of Iraq in the late '90s were -- aside from their professed ideology -- not that different from the "tough-minded liberals" who pushed JFK and LBJ into the rice paddies and jungles of Southeast Asia.

Photo Radar Began July 1

This Is Beyond Rediculous (Mel) BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING LEAD FOOTS !..... Illinois will begin using photo radar in freeway work zones in July.  One mile per hour over the speed limit and the machine will get you a nice$375.00 ticket in the mail.  Beginning July 1st, the State of Illinois will begin using the speed cameras in areas designated as "Work Zones" on major freeways.  Anyone caught by these devices will be mailed a $375.00 ticket for the FIRST offense. The SECOND offense will cost $1000.00 and comes with a 90-Day suspension.  Drivers will also receive demerit points against their license, which allow insurance companies to raise Insurance rates.

Monday's Daily Brief of the Huffington Post

2010-07-05       The Daily Brief     Robert Kuttner: My Private Obama AP Robert Kuttner: We in the progressive community have projected our own visions onto Barack Obama ever since we first noticed him as a remarkable political novice. It was clear from the 2008 campaign that he was a basically a centrist and seeker of common ground. But sometimes a crisis makes a presidency. And history has seldom delivered a more graphic, teachable crisis than the one that Obama inherited. So we voted our hopes that events could compel Obama to govern as a progressive. We are still waiting, and we are a cheap date. Click here to read more. Dr. Jill Biden: Celebrating the Fourth of July With Our Troops in Iraq My husband Joe and I flew to Iraq to celebrate the Fourth of July with our troops.

Barring an open and democratic dialogue about what our military is for in today's world we'll continue to have frustrated Generals and we'll risk more lives. Amb. Marc Ginsberg: Kandahar and "Counter-Insurgency-in-a-Box" Why should Americans and their fellow NATO soldiers die this summer for Kandahar? I frankly don't know...since the dots just don't seem, at least on paper or via media reports, to connect. Carl Pope: Farewell to an Unlikely Hero On some really big issues, I think the late Senator Byrd got it wrong. But I admired that he refused to compromise with the increasing trivialization and mean-spiritedness of American politics.
