Writing in the Washington Post, Milbank dishonestly ponders whether a HRC-led executive would result in different policies and outcomes for America.

New York Times:

Indonesian authorities scrambled to deal with two deadly disasters on Tuesday after a tsunami and volcanic eruptions struck in separate regions of the vast Indonesian archipelago.

In the first, rescue workers and fishermen scoured for survivors through waters west of Sumatra Island after a powerful earthquake and resulting tsunami killed at least 113 people and left hundreds missing, including at least eight foreigners, officials said. Thousands more were homeless.

Swedish prosecutors have cancelled an arrest warrant issued for Julian Assange, the founder of controversial whistleblower website Wikileaks.

The warrant was issued following a sexual assault complaint against him.

But on Saturday night, as international media outlets were beginning to pick up the story, Eva Finne, Sweden's chief prosecutor, announced that Assange was no longer wanted.

There's already been multiple diaries about the suspect accusations against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Despite the Obama Administration declaring itself to be the most transparent in American history, Obama has gone after whistleblowers hard. Services like that provided by Assange's organization are invaluable. They keep the citizens of the world informed of the shit that is going down, the shit that people in power don't want us to see.

Assange's organization leaked documents have revealed the atrocities committed by American soldiers. These leaks have also shown, much like the Pentagon Papers 40 years earlier, that the war has been falsely portrayed by the Generals and Obama.

In an article from today that begins, "Hey Tea Party" Professor Juan Cole reminds the ultra-patriotic country-first flag-swaddled teabaggers that an American was killed by Israeli commandos on Memorial Day.

The behavior of Israeli commandos and "intelligence" resembles that of the contractors that the US government pays with our money.

Paveen Yaqub, from Manchester, was on board the Mavi Marmara, on which nine people were killed when it was stormed by Israeli commandos on Monday.

She said she was later kicked and abused by two Israeli policemen.

"They were kicking my legs to make me fall and mocking me in Hebrew," she said. "They were trying to take trophy pictures with me and they liked laughing in my face.

"They also searched me but I won't go into that. They took pleasure in humiliating us."

Many jokes have been made over Ms. Lowden's comment to bring a chicken to the doctor in lieu of payment.

She tried to justify this bullshit by appealing to some uninformed interpretation of the history of medicine, that "in the old days" patients would barter with their physicians.

My father was a physician, an old country doctor, and I've been a physician longer than Ms. Lowden's probably been alive and yet I can't recall any time that people bartered livestock in exchange for medical services.

For several decades now, the American public has been subjected to the Conservative-agenda-driven idea of Bad Government.

Conservatives and Teabaggers and Libertarians found themselves aroused when Reagan uttered in his 1981 inaugural address

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.

They again cheered seven years later when he said:

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"

A common element emerges when looking at recent events:

the mine explosion in Montcoal, WV

the financial collapse

post-Katrina suffering in New Orleans

the weakening of HCR legislation (does it adequately address cost, access, quality? No.)

teabaggers and batshit crazy antigovernment groups

Toyota

the hundreds of billions of dollars that went to no-bid contracts/friends of the Bush administration after America invaded and occupied Iraq

That common element being conservatism. Privatize profits, socialize costs.

Detroit plans to close more than a quarter of its public schools at a time when private foundations are pledging hundreds of millions of dollars to reshape the Detroit public school system. The foundations are pushing for mayoral control of the school and the opening of dozens of new schools including charter schools. The plan is seen by critics as a move to privatize the city’s school system.

Monday morning on Democracy Now, Tavis Smiley spoke with Amy Goodman about his upcoming special on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s courage in criticizing LBJ's involvement in Vietnam, and of course the parallels with Obama and the US in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.

The program, MLK: A Call to Conscience will be shown this Wednesday evening (March 31st) on PBS.

Visiting the site this morning I notice the small ad just after the first diary, sponsored by Freedomworks, that ironically-named rightwing/corporation organization which Rachel Maddow has been exposing for its astroturf campaign against more progressive HCR.

You can't accuse Freedomworks of disguising the threat: it's there, plain as day.

Floating disembodied above the quote No to Reconcialiation are the heads of Obama, Reid and Pelosi, mouths open, reminiscent of the gruesome images we have seen from the past few years.
