So as has been widely reported Harold Ford Jr. is not running for Governor. What does this mean for TN Democratic politics and what does it mean for the race as a whole? Let’s take a look.

Today over at Huffington Post there’s an article about another bailed out bank spending scads of money on corporate junkets.

I understand the outrage.

As a Democrat, it’s hard to square the idea that a financial institution, who received financial help from taxpayers, would then turn around and use money, whether it came out of that pile or not, for something so seemingly frivolous.

As with most things, there’s another side to the story that’s not getting told.

I have to tell you, I was stunned. It was November 5th, and despite my joy for Barack Obama’s election, I was looking around my state at a mess. Tennessee Democrats lost the state House and Senate by a scant 8000 votes spread across several races. In the Presidential election, Tennessee went redder than it has in the past 4 cycles. Honestly, it was devastating.

What happened from there was a lot of introspection and a lively discussion between several TN progressive bloggers about what went wrong and what needed to happen. We didn’t all agree on the specifics, but we all recognized that something was broken. This was met with a good deal of rhetoric from the “grasstops” that had been running the party telling us that we just don’t get it.

When people think about a recession, they primarily identify with purely economic measures. Considering the current economic climate, it’s easy to understand why people are thinking about their financial future. But more and more people in this country are experiencing a “Healthcare Recession”.

What is a “Healthcare Recession”? It is the steady diminishing of the availability of services and the health of a populace due to increasing costs, restrictions, or loss of coverage.

The US spends $2.4t a year on healthcare, or 17% of our GDP, yet we have some 47+ million living with no insurance. Other nations, such as Germany, France, and Canada spend between 9% and 11% of their respective GDP and they still manage to cover everyone.

Healthcare expenses are, at least partly responsible for 50% of all personal bankruptcies in the US. That’s right, 50% of the people who declare bankruptcy aren’t the deadbeats some in government would paint them to be, they’re sick people.

Crossposted at vibinc Also an attempt to delurk.

So Rush has this Op-Ed in the WSJ detailing HIS plan for a bailout.

The long and the short of it is that Rush wants to split the money up along the lines of the Presidential election results…54-46. That works out to $486b for infrastructure, and $414b for tax cuts (Rush, as usual, uses a fake number, $900b for his breakdown instead of the actual $819b in the House bill).

More after the flip

It must be really nice being an on air gasbag. I mean you can say just about anything you want, it floats off into the ether, and tomorrow, you get to do it again. BRILLIANT!

Sure I guess there are rules and all that, but since the line between journalist and pundit/gasbag/opinion turd, has been smeared all over the place leaving no perceptible trace of journalist, just shit all over the place. Maintaining any level of journalistic standards is probably too time consuming.

I'm still pissed about the way the media, and Obama, have been treating General Clark. Now the Columbia Journalism Review is critiquing the coverage and the phrase "mock outrage" is in first sentence. Nice!

The article points out the ways the media has mis-reported the Clark comments.

Note:A general diary about this subject has been posted here. This has more to do with the event production industry specifically, an industry that I have been working in for more than 12 years.

I’ve been self-employed for more than half of my life. At age 15, I was one of the only delivery carriers in North Little Rock for the now defunct Arkansas Gazette, that consistently delivered my 450 paper routes on time, and stayed in good standing (not in debt) with the paper. At age 23 I opened a retail art gallery in Little Rock, not an easy market, that 13 years later is the place for new and exciting art in Little Rock. After selling my portion of the art gallery to my partner, I went into event production, spent 9 years freelancing and working full time for several companies in the Mid-South, and now, for the past 3 years have been working in the industry on a full-time freelance basis.

I’ve spent the better part of the weekend researching southern “Bush Dogs”. If you don’t know what a “Bush Dog” is, go to this FAQ to find out more.

With all the time I’ve invested, I thought it might be a good idea to talk about my intentions and my motivation in participating in this somewhat controversial project.

Word on the street is that evil overlord and Department of Homeland Security chief Skeletor will replace the furry loveable but woefully incompetent Snarf at the Justice Department.

The move, largely seen as a chance to scare the living bejesus out of children and the Democratically controlled Congress, was hailed by many as “something else”.

It’s late, and I have to be up in 5.5 hours, but I can’t sleep for some reason so, here goes.

Remember a couple of years ago when the phrase “methods and practices” was in vogue? Mostly it concerned intelligence techniques, and revolved around how secretive everything had to be because if the terrorists ever found out how we haven’t found them, they would change their tactics. Since the main thrust of the Administration’s recent terrorist fighting techniques has concentrated on stateside threats, I guess the phrase has been shelved. In any case, it needs to be thought about, because it wasn’t thought about at the time.
