THE INCREDIBLY BRIEF STORY OF HOW WE GOT SCREWED - BY PAUL KRUGMAN
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/07/opinion/krugman-confronting-the-malefactors.html?ref=paulkrugman
In the first act, bankers took advantage of deregulation to run wild (and pay themselves princely sums), inflating huge bubbles through reckless lending. In the second act, the bubbles burst — but bankers were bailed out by taxpayers, with remarkably few strings attached, even as ordinary workers continued to suffer the consequences of the bankers’ sins. And, in the third act, bankers showed their gratitude by turning on the people who had saved them, throwing their support — and the wealth they still possessed thanks to the bailouts — behind politicians who promised to keep their taxes low and dismantle the mild regulations erected in the aftermath of the crisis.
Given this history, how can you not applaud the protesters for finally taking a stand?

Yo WTF'ers!
MAYBE THEIR HEADS REALLY ARE MADE OUT OF CHEESE
They picked a great cause. They picked a lousy candidate.
The Cheeseheads are going to blow the historic recall Governor Scott Walker election.
Why?
The bland leading the bland candidate they selected to be their standard-borer, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
Snooze.
You need an inspirational candidate to pull this off, particularly with the gargantuan edge the GOP has in fund raising, since the out of state 1% is dying to crush public employee unions.

Walker is dominating his Democratic rival, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, in the money race thanks in large part to donors from outside the state. As of campaign filings released on May 29, Walker had raised $30.5 million, with about two-thirds of that total coming from donors outside Wisconsin. Barrett had raised $4 million, with about one-fourth coming from outside the state.
The polls show this race is tighter than (insert "tighter than a" cliche here), but they also show, consistently, that Walker has the edge.
Tom Barrett is the opposite of charismatic. Put another way, he's hopelessly uninspiring in that Midwestern big fat yawn sort of way.
I'm from the Midwest. We're a little thick. Tom Barrett is a little thick.
Sure, Scott Walker is evil, but he gets your attention.
It is true that public employee unions have, at times, been a little too successful, extracting wages and benefits beyond the public's ability to pay.
But it's also true, as former PA Governor Fast Eddie Rendell says, all that's needed is tougher, more effective negotiating tactics from the Guv-ment, as opposed to completely stripping workers of their right to collectively bargain.
How do I know that the cheeseheads are blowing it with their selection of Mayor McCheesehead?
Because these same polls which show him narrowly but consistently trailing Governor Evil, also show Barack Obama is still ahead in Cheeseheadville.
Right issue. Wrong candidate. Thanks cheeseheads.
It's going to be that much harder for the good guys to prevail in November.
Onward Kenyan Socialists!
I GOT YER DIAMOND JUBILEE RIGHT HERE
Ok, I'm just a typical ignorant American. But then, you knew that.
Color me provincial, but I find this hoopla and hullabaloo and hoop-de-doo over the Queen's diamond jubilee beyond absurd.
The premise, from my ignorant American perspective, seems to be that these particular people have better, in fact superior blood lines. Their blood is better than your blood. Blue blood beats red blood any old day of the week.
Therefore, we must give them a special place in society. Taxpayers, indeed, must subsidize their wealthy lifestyle, because... because... well because they've got BREEDING by cracky!
Now call me crazy (many, if not most do), but I thought we eliminated that idea that some human beings are automatically considered better than others?
Like, um, we got rid of slavery. In other words, a lightbulb went off in our collective head, and we thought, "hmmm, I guess if one person isn't automatically superior to another by virtue of his race, then we can't force some of us to work for the rest of us, without pay."
If that's true, then why are these so called "royals" better than you and me?
Why does the U.K. perpetuate this cartoon anachronistic silliness?
Some sort of "national pride" thing I'm told?
Why are you collectively proud of perpetuating the notion that some people are better then others automatically because of who their parents and grandparents were?
It's gross. And so many of us get sucked in because of the alleged "glamor."
What a ridiculous dog and pony show. I'm over it.
And take off that stupid hat.
By the way, some folks over there DO get it.

In my eyes, partaking in the Diamond Jubilee is not just a celebration of Elizabeth’s 60 year reign, but a celebration of something far more sinister – to me, it’s a celebration of the ingrained inequality and class segregation within our country. It seems to me that the monarchy represents the worst of Britain: a class structured society governed by select elite whom are out of touch with the rest of the country.
Amen Sister.
MARY JANE IS A NICE GIRL, LEAVE HER ALONE
The rose is off the Bloomberg since the good Mayor of New York City decided no surgary beverages more than 16 oz. should be sold at certain venues, in an attempt to reduce the chunky portion of the population.
Note to gluttons: You can still buy as many 16 oz. drinks as you want at one sitting, so you're still free to be chunky.
That proposition may be dubious, but Mayor McNanny is on the right track with another proposal.
To give credit where credit is due, the stop-harassing-small-time-potheads measure comes from Governor Andrew Cuomo.
NYTIMES.COM:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/05/nyregion/mayor-supports-plan-to-change-marijuana-arrest-policy.html
ALBANY — The New York Police Department, the mayor and the city’s top prosecutors on Monday endorsed a proposal to decriminalize the open possession of small amounts of marijuana, giving an unexpected lift to an effort by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to cut down on the number of people arrested as a result of police stops.
The governor’s announcement was cheered by lawmakers from minority neighborhoods as well as by civil rights groups, who are increasingly looking to Albany and to Washington in an effort to rein in what they see as overly aggressive tactics on the part of the Bloomberg administration.
Yes, hard to believe, but young black men are being disproportionally targeted.
Shocking that discrimination would exist among our gallant men in blue, no?
As we've learned in recent days, all sorts of young men, black and otherwise, experiment with cannabi and still amount to something later.
BUZZFEED.COM:

When you were with Barry and his pals, if you exhaled precious pakalolo (Hawaiian slang for marijuana, meaning "numbing tobacco") instead of absorbing it fully into your lungs, you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around. "Wasting good bud smoke was not tolerated," explained one member of the Choom Gang, Tom Topolinski, the Chinese-looking kid with a Polish name who answered to Topo.
So let's move out of the stone age and stop pretending pot is crack.
Legalize it. Tax it. Solve the deficit. Regulate it. Moderation in everything. Don't tolerate dangerous drivers or dangerous anything else, but stop pretending pot is heroin.
We're wasting so much time pandering to the unenlightened.
But then again, who else is there to pander to?
Seriously. Is there anyone groovier than young Stoner Obama?
