[Opinionated Raconteur] Some miscellaneous links | Opinionated Raconteur: I thought the reality of a faltering economy and souring loan portfolios would then snap investors back to reality, but while both ends of this forecast have (as of today) now come true, I got the timing exactly backwards. Whereas investors believed back in March that policy actions taken to revive the financial system were too little and too late, here in the first week of August some are even talking about welcoming Goldilocks back to her former perch at the corner of Wall and Broad.

[Chicago Boyz] Chicago Boyz » Blog Archive » Texas and London: Some of the increased level of state control in England comes from the fact that left-liberals and socialists have been in power longer and have had fewer structural obstructions to the exercise of power (e.g., no entrenched Bill of Rights) Some comes from the fact that England is much more densely populated than either California or Texas, and there is literally no space for the kind of rapid development of low-density land that is common in Texas and California, although land-use controls in the older, richer parts of California mean that the rapid expansion takes place far away from the city centers — Riverside or Stockton rather than Santa Monica or Palo Alto.

[GlobalResearch.ca] "Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World ...: Installing "infrastructure in East Europe was far and away the most reckless enterprise of a cabal that had already demonstrated its bent for dangerous and foolish brinkmanship." With missile "defenses" within minutes of Russian targets, Moscow wouldn't know if they were nuclear armed or not, but the possibility puts the world "on a hair-trigger to possible nuclear war, by design or miscalculation," and thus the greatest ever threat to possible Armageddon if leaders on either side react wrongly.

[VotingFemale Speaks!] Obama Cap & Trade - a Clear and Present Danger to American Economy ...: Another implication of the Rangel plan is that America’s successful small businesses would pay higher tax rates than the Fortune 500, and for that matter than most companies around the world. The corporate federal-state tax rate applied to General Electric and Google is about 39% in the U.S., and the business tax rate is about 25% in the OECD countries.

[Concentrate - In the News] Post No. 4: With the discussion of these jobs in full swing from Oakland to DC, I'm disappointed to see that I'm the first to mention it on Metromode - what are we as a region going to do to ensure that we lead (or at least keep pace with) this trend?

[Northern California Golf Association] The AT&T Pro-Am to leave Poppy Hills -- Northern California Golf ...: The pro-am was a worthy stage to showcase the mix of one of the most renowned courses in the world in Pebble Beach with Poppy Hills, a course which allows NCGA Youth on Course and First Tee kids to play a round of golf for only $2. Poppy Hills represents publicly accessible golf and moving the charitable event from the home of the “everyday” golfer to an exclusive country club sends the wrong message.

[The Foundry] Question Cap and Trade at Your Peril » The Foundry: If the government truly wants to reduce dependence on foreign oil, improve air quality, provide Americans with less expensive and stimulate the economy at the same time, I suggest legislation be passed requiring that within a three to five year period, all current and new automobiles be converted from burning gasoline to natural gas. A tax credit could be provided to those converting their auto fuel systems over to natural gas, helping to defray those costs.

[neo-neocon] neo-neocon » Blog Archive » Obama and the new template: The US is more like Texas, which is doing relatively well during this economic turndown. I certainly believe that Obama is a citizen and is our legitimate President.

[The Fluent Self] Friday Check-in #51: “Punk By Association” edition: I get like that sometimes, and it doesn’t spook me as much as it used to, but I still live in fear of developing some chronic lie-in-bed-for-the-rest-of-your-life condition. It’s so hard to accept I’m too tired to do anything, and do nothing.

[Sentencing Law and Policy] Sentencing Law and Policy: "From my cell, I scent the reeking soul ...: I have probably spent more time than others showing how some courts appear to give a green light to “prosecutorial misdoncut.” Hell, I call it exactly that on my blog. But, I should note that while most cases of prosecutorial misconduct are considered harmless error, enough are grounds for reversal, such that there is now a common law in most circuits as what sort of remarks will be cause for reversal.

[SWJ Blog] 29 July SWJ Roundup (SWJ Blog): Boyd, 39, is scheduled to appear in federal court in North Carolina on Thursday with his two sons and four other young men he allegedly instructed in militant techniques. A federal grand jury in Raleigh has accused him of conspiring to support terrorists and kill combatants overseas, as well as making false statements to customs and

[Hillary Is 44] Hillary Is 44 » Blog Archive » The Boob Job: This is specifically not how Obama wanted to paint the health care issue. In speeches and town-hall events, the president has argued that health care is a pressing need for you, that you could lose your health insurance or go broke if we don’t pass a reform bill–that it’s not about the millions of people without health insurance, per se, but rather about skyocketing costs that make the current system untenable.

[SWJ Blog] 24 July SWJ Roundup (SWJ Blog): Biden's statement coincides with a Kremlin reminder of its objections to military aid for Georgia. In an address to Georgia's Parliament, Biden recalled the country's difficult journey toward freedom, beginning with a declaration of independence in 1918, followed by decades of Soviet occupation and renewed sovereignty in 1991.

[Livinglies's Weblog] Loan Modification: Scamming from the Top Down « Livinglies's Weblog: Home Relief Services charged homeowners over $4,000 in upfront fees, promised to lower interest rates to 4 percent, convert adjustable-rate mortgages to low fixed-rate loans and reduce principal up to 50 percent within 30 to 60 days. None of the known victims received a modification with the assistance of the defendants.

[Change.org's Stop Global Warming Blog] Stop Global Warming - Change.org: Violence Escalating Against Anti ...: All I’ve been trying to argue is that despite what you and most people who read this, there is very much a debate still going on it may be 3-1 (or by pew’s account 4-1 which I have problems with) in favor of AGCC-ers but in any account there is still debate (the have a saying where ‘we like it when we’re surrounded because hey can’t get away’). Consensus is not the reason to think that the science is sound, nor is it any way to measure whether scientists are all on one side or not, after all it’s hard to get EVERY single scientists to answer, so even if it’s statistically relevant, it’s not precise enough to actually be absolutely correct.

[Marc Cooper] Marc Cooper » Blog Archive » Failing California: Fools to your east may be able to convince themselves for awhile that this is contained by your state line. But, they’re probably the same folks who believed that the housing market couldn’t collapse everywhere all at once, either.
