bigchin commented on the diary post What’s Missing ? by cmaukonen.
The problem is real enough and there’s no doubt that digital communication has not only disturbed face-to-face encounter but changed it as well. I’ve seen evidence with students who can no longer express themselves tete-a-tete with spontaneous language skills, but revel in their ability to text their thoughts… and too often without any empathy for [...]

bigchin commented on the blog post San Francisco Pride Won’t Reschedule Meeting, Board’s Decision on Bradley Manning is ‘Firm’
well isn’t that interesting and ironic…
a response I wrote regarding the update about Teddy Partridge’s post (which inaccurately suggests it was Obama who said “No Deal” to the Iraqi’s when it was the Iraqis who said “No Deal” to Obama) was deleted by the FDL moderators…
as i suppose this one will be as well…
guess I’ll have to tweet that fact, especially given Kevin’s point about deleting comments.

bigchin commented on the diary post Assata Shakur Put on the FBI’s ‘Most Wanted Terrorist’ List for Political Purposes by wendydavis.
Mr. Obama crossed the rubicon so long ago that it’s ever more difficult to express adequately the outrage one feels, especially since it falls on so many deaf ears in the “progressive” community. The silence from the Black Misleadership, as Glenn Ford describes those who should be most outraged by this evil man’s legacy, is [...]

bigchin commented on the blog post Late Night: IRS Apologizes for Doing Its Job
they’d probably find a lot more revenue if they targeted names like Pritzker, Geithner, Dimon, Blankfein… and of course Koch, Walton, Romney etc…
but the IRS won’t do that…
and i think you’re being generous to suggest it’s because the real thieves can afford legal dodges.
maybe that’s a consideration…
maybe…

bigchin commented on the diary post ‘Doris, Will You Bring Me In a Cup of FISA Warrants and a Plate of Drone Apps?’ by wendydavis.
really excellent wd! I have been happy to see THD responding so enthusiastically to your diaries too. I gave him a hard time about voting for Obomba once or twice and don’t really understand why he thinks the political culture can change before the electoral process does re: third parties but he’s entitled to his [...]

bigchin commented on the diary post Operation Ghetto Storm: 313 Extrajudicial Killings of Blacks in 2012 by wendydavis.
thanks wd… I didn’t know about a song written for Michael Stewart and am curious about the reference to Michael Shocked, whose work I don’t know, and “self humiliated.” Care to fill me in on that? And indeed, this story must be told and re-told until it takes hold. As with the cruel and senseless [...]

I moved to the big liberal apple in 1983 and soon thereafter:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Stewart_%28graffiti_artist%29 : killed by the NYPD for painting graffiti on a subway
http://everything2.com/title/Eleanor+Bumpers : killed by NYPD for being 98$ behind on her rent
it’s a long and devastating list…

agree that pot is not a “left” issue… even Scalia ruled, albeit tangentially, for privacy regarding growing it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyllo_v._United_States

Oops, too late. Statute of limitations has run out on the most egregious mortgage crimes.
Schneiderman, like his boss Obama, is a fraud.

Here’s a good read: http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/04/19/the-desolationists/ “Desolationists love identity politics, they believe symbols are victories and progress looks like Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Wall Street shill Eric Holder and the supreme twofer, the African American mad humanitarian bomber Susan Rice. Desolationists are greatly troubled when oppressed people use violence to defend and advance their interests against [...]

bigchin commented on the blog post Howard Dean Says Obama May Drive Him Out Of The Democratic Party
Oops… too late. The Democratic party stopped being democratic a long time ago and whereas we can hope that Dean’s stark observations would inspire more push back, the damage is done.
So too Constitutional protections, egalitarian economic principles and hopes that the sinking ship can be righted – done, over, finished. The 1% won, with Obama and his Congressional concubines fighting for the wrong side… everything else is just noise.

bigchin commented on the diary post Leaked Top Secret Intelligence Files and The Truth About the Lies on Drone Targets by wendydavis.
I wish I were sanguine about war crimes having no statute of limitations, because you can bet the Obomba Administration and his concubines in Congress are looking for ways to change that law. Our murderer-in-chief has already shredded the US Constitution (and the Magna Carta) regarding the rights of man so I’m sure they have [...]
