I don't think this photo needs much commentary.

I'm not shocked any more at how sanitized and censored the world is when viewed through cable news. The most 'real' moment to be on cable TV in months were the questions from the woman and young man at the President's town hall last week.

They seemed to make the media personalities uncomfortable. So they did the only thing they could, make them as unreal as quickly as possible.

Just like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the war on the working class is going unreported. There are no images and few stories that are allowed into the hyper-unreality of cable news.

The truth is, we as Americans experience very few things as a society together. The reality of the world can change radically by just going a few blocks out of your way. Or think about just making a couple few dollars less an hour.

But the stories are there and the images are there. It is important to search them out and make them heard and visible.

We have new ways of sharing information. We have twitter and facebook and blogs and street art. These stories have to be told and the images shown.

Let's all bash on the idiots that supported the bailout. O, I mean the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP).

How is it that rich fucks can steal billions of dollars and there is next to no outrage?

And, this is public money. Our money!

Update: I'm trying for the most salacious title possible.. Any suggestions?

The fight for sexual liberation and the freedom to define our own families began long before I was born.

We and our predecessors have struggled for decades to throw off the regulation of desire by the state and religious institutions. As with all communities, we own them so much.

At the Stonewall Inn they said enough and started to fight back against police oppression and energized the modern movement.

We have long been told to wait, now is not our time, our lives are unimportant and a distraction. Religious fanatics and zealots try to push us back.

But, we continue to fight.

Maybe I haven't been reading Roubini long enough or carefully enough, but today his post seems every bit a total and complete freak out.

His past posts were mostly filled with stern and sobering warnings, heavy with very dense facts and jargon I mostly don't understand and have to google.

Yes there was a bit of doom and gloom but he seemed to have confidence the worst was not going to happen given some sensible intervention.

It seems worth placing this link here: Asian Markets in near free fall.

from my uncle tonight.

And to be honest I'm a lot on edge and freaked about what actually is going on and if these politicians in DC are up to the task.

So, I replied with my own rant. You can read that below. I guess this is just an opportunity for everyone to rant and ask what the fuck is actually going on...

For the last three days thread after thread on the financial crisis has been buried with out one making the rec list.

So, I'm going to try to make an open thread with hopes we can make it to the rec list and folks can post information, ask questions and clear up misconceptions and address rumors.

So, please rec up and add your comments!

Must see video..

First I have to credit Queerty for bringing this subject up.

Palin is an extremist and just how extreme is now starting to become apparent.

From reproductive choice, to LGBT rights, to gun control, to science we have to get out information to independents about how extreme her positions are.

Stay with me, this is well worth reading!

Not only are there some great suggestions to help undermine your opponents there is some great comedy.

Maybe the sickest jokes is what was considered sabotage in 1944 is now accepted as good management practices. I found this on Boing Boing and they put it this way: Sabotage manual from 1944 advises acting like an average 2008 manager.

Anyway, Boing Boing dug up a pdf of a now declassified report from 1944 advising ways to sabotage organizations.

I just love stuff like this. I couldn't help but laugh reading most of the suggestions.

It is amazing the litany of excuses Clinton supporters use for why she lost. Non of them ever have anything to do with the poor campaign she run. The amazingly incompetent strategy. The amazingly incompetent mismanagement.

I want to use this diary to review the The Shorenstein Center and the Project for Excellence in Journalism's new report on press coverage of the primary election.

First... I don't want to be a poor winner. But, I refuse to pander to Clinton supporters and pretend I'm not jubilant in victory. Progressives have been shut out of every national election in my life time. We have for the first time in my life time a progressive as presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. This is a time to celebrate.

I know there are those among Clinton's supporters who are good progressives and good feminists who legitimately don't trust that Obama is a progressive and a feminist.

I think there has to be healing from Clinton's spin. When politicians try and create a false reality and false consciousness out of whole cloth, recovering from those lies means exposing the facts as can best be determined through the best scientific methods available.

This primary election finally seemed to be developing a sense of closure last night in Des Moines.

My faith in the decency, and honesty, and generosity of the American people is not based on false hope or blind optimism, but on what I have lived and what I have seen in this very state.

For in the darkest days of this campaign, when we were dismissed by all the polls and all the pundits, I would come to Iowa and see that there was something happening here that the world did not yet understand.
