Rick Ungar quotes Think Progress in his Feb. 18, 2011 Forbes Magazine article;

Koch Brothers Behind Wisconsin Effort to Kill Public Unions

Koch owns a coal company subsidiary with facilities in Green Bay, Manitowoc, Ashland and Sheboygan; six timber plants throughout the state; and a large network of pipelines in Wisconsin.

Below the fold more, and a prediction of a huge "FOR SALE" of our Common Good.

I'm sitting here watching Keith Olbermann's Count Down
and Keith reports that Obama on Wednesday is going to
ask Progressives ...

... let's get this out of the way right now, I'm a liberal
progressive by philosophic principle but liberal by definition.
I'm not ashamed of being a liberal, you see I never bought into
the demonizing of the term and I could personally give a flying
rat's ass if Democrats now feel they have to put on a "progressive"
bath robe so Republicans don't beat them with roped soap in the
public bath houses. So I assume Obama is going to be speaking to me
too on Wednesday, that is if you accept liberals as a small radical
branch at the "Progressive" table under the Democratic Picnic Tent.

and I hope you get to see your nephew become POTUS.

Odd how this comes out now, isn't it ?

The Associated Press found that Obama's aunt had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya.

David Axelrod makes the comment;

I think people are suspicious about stories that surface in the last
72 hours of a national campaign.

Yes David, we most certainly are.

Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the U.S.

How neat that the AP has come up with a 1 in 10 000 000 story, isn't it ?

Yesterday, Obama gave us Four Principles for The Bailout:

ONE:

Swift and unprecedented action to shore up Wall Street must come alongside equally swift and serious efforts to help struggling families on Main Street, create new jobs, and grow our middle-class once more.

TWO:

Any taxpayer-funded support must have as its focus protecting our nation's long-term interest in a stable financial market and a growing economy rather than rewarding particular companies or the imprudent decisions of borrowers or lenders.

THREE:

This plan must be temporary and coupled with tough new oversight and regulations of our financial institutions. There must be a clear process to wind down this plan and restore private sector assets into private sector hands after restoring stability to the system.

FOUR:

We are facing a global financial crisis and the United States can take a leadership role in coordinating a global response to the present crisis, as well as greater regulatory cooperation and alignment to prevent future crises.

An important statement addressing the US financial crisis with four key principles that should be integral parts of the Wall Street bailout !

Federal Reserve – Treasury Plan to address the current financial crisis,
Senator Obama released the following statement:

The events of the last few days have made it clear that we must take further bold and decisive action to shore up confidence in our financial markets and avoid a deepening economic crisis that could jeopardize the life savings and well-being of millions of Americans. I support the effort of Secretary Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke to work in a bipartisan spirit with the Congressional leadership to find a systemic solution to our deepening crisis, and I will closely examine the specifics of their effort and the opportunities for swift action. As I review the emerging details of Fed-Treasury proposal with my top economic advisors this morning I will be guided by four basic principles:

It's Sunday, what better day to talk about sin and damnation.

One of the cornerstones of the McPalin campaign is that
John and Sarah are good Christian folk.

Isn't a minimum requirement of being Christian following
The Ten Commandments ? Are there any of these BIG 10
that you can break every day in order to win an election ?

If you're a good Christian and not God damned to eternal Hell Fire
can you trash daily, in front of hundreds of cult followers cheering your sin on,
The Eighth Commandment ?

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Are good Christians allowed to say; ahhh, the hell with the Eighth Commandment !
We want to win an election !

I asked this question a few days ago.

We didn't get an answer ?

The conventions are over the VPs have been picked and nominated.

We've all got to hear them speak and learn of the vetting process
they went through or not so much. We've had a look at their resumes
and got a look at how they stand on the issues, well, at least one
campaign is based on issues.

The two tickets are set and here they are:

Obama/Biden

McCain/Palin

Perhaps many here could care less who Powell endorses.

But his endorsement speaks directly to the questions so many
have been asking since this past Friday when John McCain picked
the 20 month Governor of Alaska and one time mayor of Wasilla
Sarah Palin as his running mate.

His endorsement would speak volumes.

And I'm calling him out right here on Daily Kos.
