    Sen Grassley should be reminded that boycotting Coke would cost American jobs. He’s old, he forgets easy.

    kspopulist commented on the blog post Pro Publica Continues Its War on Ed DeMarco

    2012-03-29 15:07:24View | Delete

    Thanks David, I am trying to understand Pro Publica’s agenda here. Perhaps they prefer a breakup of the HA’s rather than a process that could lead to more ‘bailouts’ for them? A process that might expose 2nd or tertiary liens say, and could potentially lead to costing taxpayers more? Idk.
    It’s interesting that with all the right’s fixing of blame of the global econ collapse onto the shoulders of Fannie and Freddie, that De Marco says that only 30% of underwater mortgages are held by Mae/Mac. Which *I* can believe but is a message that counters the dominant media’s blame of fannie/freddie.

    Again DDayen, you are that lifeline that I can trust that makes sense of all this stuff. Not just tireless journalist but educator and I’m sure I’m not the only one!

    for bloomberg, Ed DeMarco head at FHFA tells that second liens and private mortgage insurance claims are at least being ‘looked at’ with regard to settlements. FWIW . The host sure seems to like that koolaid.

    This article and the comments following are things I’ve thought and acted on for years. But without dominant media repeating the idea to people, it seems, it just gets lost in all the aspirant possibilities they are being sold. Wonderful to hear it spoken so plainly and clearly here! Notions of culture and class are [...]

    hi!
    I’m no good with the convelescent/health anxious. I turn to mush.
    Grieving after a death is easier for me to stay strong. I dunno why.
    So, many hugs to Suzanne and everyone else with ailments and fam who are ailing. And to Jane and her Katie.
    and with that I’ll bow out.

    I’d go so far as to say, from what I’ve seen, people who get out of it completely, have a better chance of making it to old age. I’d also say that because the pleasure centers in the brain, what we ‘get’ from gaining attention and acclaim on big stages with thousands of people or when we go to the corner to get toilet paper and everyone wants to look at our face … tell us how great we are, it’s kinda hard to replicate. Drugs won’t do it but doing them over and over probably comes close for some. Sometimes. But that trip is always fraught with danger, a roll of the dice.

    I think of Diana Ross, Liz Taylor, Brooke Shields, befriending Michael Jackson. I think for a long time WH must have had many people keeping an eye on her. Like Dionne Warwick and her mother Cissy.
    Sometimes they just slip away.

    Hey CT!
    It’s awful to see another big star go down before the fame machine. She had such a great voice. Could it be said she knew what she was getting into? Mostly, except I don’t think anybody could prepare anybody for the dangers of bigtime stardom. Y’know?

    But nobody seems to be able to prepare us for the horrors of authoritarian government either. Or wall street, bondtrader rapaciousness.

    I love Downton Abbey too,CE. Well Done!

    2012-02-08 15:49:00View | Delete

    This is big news!
    Very exciting!
    Capp’s supposition as you rightly point out K, conflates ‘could be’s’ with ‘done’. Nutty as I am, this means he takes the alleged idea of ‘posing a threat to national security’ to mean something already done. Squashing the subjunctive or ‘might be’ into something already past. Just like the red-meaters did when wikileaks and Manning’s story first came out.
    Information, about information being twisted to continue an already established narrative. “Treason!” Which ‘smells’ like ‘war on terror’ or the ‘strong defense’ narrative. And in Time magazine no less.

    The alternative to dissolution , disruption always lies in coalescing on central principles. Any movement when simplified to it’s core ideas both unites and binds around the issues rather than around who the members are or aren’t. ‘Anybody, any group can join or can come in but this action is for THIS issue.’ etc. or [...]
