    That was Prop 25, which eliminated to need for a 2/3 majority to pass a budget

    And HRC’s hypocrisy

    [...]

    Now the United States believes firmly in the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all member-states, but we do not believe that sovereignty demands that this council stand silent when governments massacre their own people, threatening regional peace and security in the process. And we reject any equivalence between premeditated murders by a government’s military machine and the actions of civilians under siege driven to self-defense. …

    At risk of being provocative — Go ahead and make their day. This is all academic unless you go out there and do it. I don’t know you, and even though I don’t know you, I don’t want anything bad to happen to you, but, I think you’re eventually going to end up in a [...]

    2012-05-09 18:23:07View | Delete

    The letter has so far been signed by Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the progressive caucus co-chairmen, as well as Reps. Jan. Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Doris Matsui (D-Calif.), who sit on the progressive caucus committee that deals with aging issues.

    Sorry to anyone who might be offended, but Doris Matsui is nothing more than Nancy Pelosi’s favorite lapdog

    That said: I’ve met people from Occupy Oakland and they seemed very thoughtful, intelligent and concerned

    Then there’s this …

    Because as the WSJ demonstrates, in the period 2009-2011, America’s largest multinational companies: those who benefit the most from the public sector increasing its debt/GDP to the most since WWII, or just over 100% and rapidly rising, and thus those who should return the favor by hiring American workers, have instead hired [...]
