[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: It is very revealing of John McCain's character, or perhaps lack of it, that after calling the Social Security that aids our parents and grandparents "a disgrace", and despite his having married into great wealth, he greedily cashes his nearly $2000 monthly Social Security checks! Then again, that fits right in with the Republican fixation on gaining wealth and power at the expense of the citizens they "serve".

[Corrente] The Obama Psychosis | Corrente: The marriage between the lower upper class, the mega wealthy and the grass roots can be summed up as the two pronged “shucks and bucks” campaign. The “shucks and bucks” is the revitalization of Alinskian consensus manipulation where constructed participation, Delphic rituals of vicarious participation, stands in the place of real political thought.

[Make Them Accountable] Make Them Accountable / Media & Politics: Eric Lichtblau (one of the NYT reporters who originally broke the NSA [wiretapping] story yet often mindlessly recites false Bush claims even on this issue) wrote a story which reported that the FISA Court of Review had issued a decision “validating the power of the president and Congress to wiretap international phone calls and intercept e-mail messages without a specific court order.”  From start to finish, Lichtblau’s description of the ruling was muddled and contradictory, even nonsensical in some places”¦ The ruling had nothing whatsoever to do with the central question at the heart of the NSA controversy:  namely, whether Bush committed felonies by ordering warrantless eavesdropping in the face of a Congressional statute that explicitly made such eavesdropping a felony. 

[Public Address] Public Address | Hard News: I agree with Chris Trotter that the ability to draw on KiwiSave funds for a first home deposit - and get a subsidy of up to $5000from the government - will appeal strongly to the Labour base, and older voters in particular. It's the contemporary equivalent of being able to capitalise the family benefit.

[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: But if Gingrich is so adamant about high-ranking officials not lying "about national security both to the country and to the House of Representatives", then where was his call for an investigation into whether the former President and Vice-President LIED in pushing for war with Iraq? This kind of hypocrisy is a strong reason why I could NEVER vote Republican.

[PressThink] PressThink: "Nice and Collegial and Relaxed:" Four Scenes From ...: The thing is, efficient market types don't last very long on talk shows - a HUGE problem with TV financial journalism, which tends to worship active traders, and foster books like Maria Bartiromo's "Use The News" to perpetuate the laughable idea that a small investor can outgun institutions while he pays a broker's commission, bid/ask spreads, and other hidden trading costs with every sell and every buy order he places (No wonder brokerage houses sponsor these shows!)
