Just when we think we've heard everything, there's this on C-Span this morning.

Today, a last minute appeal by the US Chamber of Commerce was denied, clearing the way for E-Verify to become law for most businesses that contract with the Federal Government. One of the salient criticisms of this computerized system in the past has been the high error rate. However, recent massive infusions of capital into the E-verify system will supposedly make this program more boon than bane.

Currently a bill is pending in Congress that will require E-Verify implementation into all areas of the private sector.

...in respect to getting the Public Option included, then it opens up a whole new perspective. There's a lot more things to do. Since the Dems had an awakening yesterday, why not do them? Here's what I'm getting at.

Just got through reading an interesting post over at Counterpunch. Written by Marshall Auerback, he brings to the fore an interesting notion worth expounding on.
Read his article here, it's fairly brief. http://www.counterpunch.org/...

The New York Times today reports on a judge that seems to be gumming up some cozy arrangements between Bank of America and the SEC.

I know that right now we're supposed to be focused on healthcare, Palin and disruptive town halls, but this was a refreshing article.

As we have seen, many of our reps and senators have accepted large donations in one form or another from healthcare insurers, private healthcare organizations and pacs unalterably opposed to any sort of public plan, to say nothing of single payer.

We the People are unable to provide sufficient or equal bribes to match these corporate donations. Further, we shouldn't have to resort to such in order to get our leaders to vote correctly on the issues.

As usual, I have a proposal.

I listened to the talking heads today, both on junk TV and C-Span. To a note the pitch perfect whining addressed the "unaffordabilty" of a public option or single payer.

The Dems say, they haven't seen the plan, don't know what's in it, (duck and cover) and the pugs have rolled out their version of healthcare in 50 words or less, (no costs mentioned) but I'm SURE it's a much better plan than the one the Dems "haven't seen".

The influx of capital into the Capitol, leaving no pocket unlined is just biz as usual until we end personhood for corporations. We have a corporate government that when convenient, accidentally serves the People.

So I don't think much will change, but here's a slogan/idea. [jump!]

This post also could have been entitled "Common Sense" but another fellow used that a few hundred years ago. However, the principle remains much the same. That is, point out mistakes, then propose solutions that even the least of us could understand. That's why cars became popular so quickly. Anyone could drive one.

And as I was driving down I-20 the other day, I watched the endless parade of military equipment on flatbeds heading east for Charleston and ultimately to Iraq and Afghanistan. There's nothing like an Abrams main battle tank to ruin a village's day. Or more pilotless drones to put an early end to the wedding festivities.

War is big business. It's our biggest export.

Just saw a story that resonates at the local level as compared to the national disgrace encompassed by Citibank, AIG and the other loathesome toads.
