IrishRed commented on the blog post FDL Book Salon Welcomes Paul Krugman, End This Depression Now!
Sorry, but 3.5 years of watching Obama and friends cave on every last issue progressives care about, hoping that they’ll somehow change in the next term just ain’t good enough.
Occupy is getting my money and time this election and a third party or write-in will get my vote.

IrishRed commented on the blog post Eric Griego, House Candidate in New Mexico, Wants Corrupt Bankers to Go to Jail
We need a party that would allow people to believe, like Mr. Griego appears to, to actually be elected and follow through on their convictions once in office.
That’s not a description that fits the Democrats anymore.

IrishRed commented on the diary post Harvey Milk is Still Recruiting for Equality! by Michael Diviesti.
It’s the quiet responses, like that of your Dad, quietly observed that leave the strongest impressions on kids. In about 1959 in tiny Gallipolis, Ohio my parents told us one day that we were going to go bowling. I was a little fuzzy on what exactly bowling was but to go out anywhere was a [...]

IrishRed commented on the diary post Time for Kochs to Resign from ALEC by Robert Greenwald.
This is the easiest boycott I’ve ever decided to join. EVERYbody knows that Bounty, the quicker-picker-upper is superior to Brawny. And I laid a roll of Quilted Northern next to a roll of Charmin last week. Although they appeared to be about the same size from the outside, next to each other you could clearly [...]

IrishRed commented on the blog post Foreclosure Fraud Activist Lisa Epstein Runs for Clerk of Courts in Palm Beach County
Thank you, David, for the story and the website. I just sent a contribution. Since I’m so not donating to Obama this year, a determined lady like Ms. Epstein seems like a great alternative.

“if only our Corporations had the capacity for shame”
They do. Corporations are people, now, remember?

IrishRed commented on the blog post Sunday Late Night: Feel Safer Now?
Agreed. There is more going on here than a mere over-zealous security search. The creep needs to be outed and ousted.

Welcome to the new retirement plan of the 2000′s: suicide at 75.

IrishRed commented on the blog post Katherine Porter Named as Enforcement Monitor for California Side Deal in Foreclosure Fraud Settlement
It’s a great choice, but .. .. ..
Will her efforts be adequately funded? Adequately staffed? Will her findings be published?
And, if so, how long will it be before the banks have her removed, ala Elizabeth Warren, or neutered, ala Eric Schneiderman?

IrishRed commented on the diary post Tell AARP CEO Barry Rand to End Back-Room Strategy Sessions With Safety Net Opponents by Brian Sonenstein.
Petition signed with comments. I also sent a sternly worded e-mail to member@aarp.org
Is there anybody, any organization, anywhere in this God-forsaken country with an ounce of integrity left?

IrishRed commented on the blog post Elitism for thee, but not for me
Well, not all of his children will likely go to college. His daughter, Isabella, has Trisomy 18, a fatal genetic disease. It’s kind of a miracle she’s made it to the age of three.

IrishRed commented on the diary post Pity the Poor Judges by Cynthia Kouril.
“Isn’t the going rate for legalized forgery $2000 per signature now?”
No, it’s much cheaper than that. It’s $2000 per filing.

IrishRed commented on the blog post Sham OCC Reviews Found to Be a Sham
Absolutely right. This year for the first time in probably 10, everyone in the family managed to get flu shots. So we had a way watered down version of the flu but the congestion was still terrible. And the cough and follow up congestion lasted a full month. We were all coughing so badly for weeks that we would wake ourselves up during the night.
It is a bad one this year and people with respiratory problems need to be very careful.

IrishRed commented on the blog post DENIED: Wife says ‘no nookie’ to VA Delegate over transvaginal ultrasound bill
That’s what we need – a little ‘Lysistrata’ activism. Now, if only we could recruit Mrs. Dimon, Mrs. Blankfein, Mrs. Moynihan and a few other wives of TPTB maybe we’d get some real change in this country.

IrishRed commented on the blog post Corporate Tax Reform Will Be Painful for Whatever Is Left of the Middle Class
Yes, that’s the whole point. 99% shares 62% of the benefits and should share 63% of the burden. 1% enjoys 32% of the benefits and should eat 32% of the burden.

Americans will never again breathe free until we remove the boots of the elite from our throats. Cut them off at the knees, if we have to.

IrishRed commented on the blog post Tammy Baldwin Attacks Scott Walker for Diverting Foreclosure Fraud Settlement Money to Fill Budget Hole
This kind of report indicating near universal fraud in mortgage documentation ought to be just the thing to raise howls over the Bank Amnesty Program.
Where’s the outrage?

IrishRed commented on the blog post Criminal Deterrence: To Lanny Breuer, It Means Pretending to Investigate
I share your questions and have one to add:
If the banks themselves don’t use fraudulent documents to foreclose but their agents, the foreclosure mills, do so on behalf of the banks, who’s liable for a violation of the amnesty agreement?

IrishRed commented on the blog post The $2,000 Insult in the Foreclosure Fraud Settlement
So the investors in RMBS, 401k plans, teacher and firefighter pensions, municipalities, eat the inflated servicer fees instead of the banksters.
Yeah, that sounds fair.

IrishRed commented on the blog post The $2,000 Insult in the Foreclosure Fraud Settlement
The newest scam appears to be cornering supply of non-precious metals. Goldman Sachs and others have bought/built enormous warehouse facilities which they’re stuffing full of aluminum and possibly other metals like copper.
Aluminum is in damn near everything so the cost of this deliberately caused supply disruption will be borne by all of us.
Sound familiar?
