Steve Hynd commented on the blog post Three Years Later and Obamacare’s Popularity Still Hasn’t Improved
See, this is what happens when you don’t opt for universal healthcare. Basically, the health insurance industry wants to have its Obamacare cake and eat it too.

Steve Hynd wrote a new diary post: Michael Lind – Fossil Fuel Shill Or Unwitting Dupe?
Michael Lind is Policy Director of the Economic Growth Program at the New America Foundation, a heavyweight pundit at a heavyweight left-leaning thinktank. At Salon yesterday, he attempted to make the case that ” everything you’ve heard about fossil fuels may be wrong ” (H/t Kat). In the process, he becomes a shill, willing or duped, for the entrenched [...]

The liquid wealth – that’s “excluding primary residence, collectibles, consumables, and consumer durables” – of the super-rich was $39 trillion in 2009. That’s almost triple the GDP of the United States. Lenin’s Tomb blog has the facts and numbers , culled from the annual Merrill Lynch Cap Gemini World Wealth Report. Merrill Lynch classify High Net Worth Individuals as those [...]

Contrary to “oldgold” I would have used exactly the same analogy and word choice if Obama were not president. He can either choose to believe me or not, as he sees fit. Being of Scottish birth and upbringing I care not a whit whether someone is black, white, yellow, purple polkadotted or striped…as long as [...]

Hi MarkH, “There is an implication that we need to do more than “snuggle up”, but he doesn’t spill his guts. Coward.” A bit unfair, I think.

Steve Hynd wrote a new diary post: The Liberal Blogosphere Is A Neoliberal Blogosphere, Unfortunately
(Crossposted from Newshoggers) Freddie DeBoer hits one out of the park as he blasts the sidelining of real left-wing thought in the blogosphere by the A-list’s neoliberal gatekeepers. Read the whole thing but here’s an extended snippet.
