While functionally NATO is an arm of the US, its name is actually the NORTH Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Also, the poverty level is the same in every state except for Hawaii and Alaska. Costs of living are significantly different.

When you call Todd a “journalistic whore,” you are only half right. What’s journalistic about him?

michtom commented on the blog post Obama Wastes Window of Opportunity for Recess Appointments
Obama has plenty of fight to counter his supposed base. Remember the threats he brought against the Progressive Caucus when they threatened to vote against further military spending?
He has never fought his real allies, the Republicans and the Blue Dogs.

They’re in Colorado, which doesn’t have marriage equality. So, unless they were married somewhere else–and Colorado wouldn’t recognize it anyway–the Wikipedia entry is unsurprising.

Cameron Todd Willingham Execution: Rick Perry’s Role Deserves Scrutiny http://huff.to/qolZcR
That’s the headline, but the reality is that Perry not only knew Willingham was innocent, he covered it up in order to murder him.

“There is no reality behind these numbers any more”
I suggest searching on GDP, inflation and other such questions along with “Paul Krugman” if you want some legitimate answers. I don’t agree with your complaint. Though we are being screwed with, the answers are available.

“In answering the first question posed to him, about the estate tax, Obama pivoted again to compromise, arguing for a middle-road approach between reinstating the estate tax and doing away from it, permitting a $7 million exemption that he said would protect most family farms.

“As at the Atkinson event, there were no notably hostile questions.”

I also suggest that you tell your Dem Congressional delegates that you will work against them if they don’t oppose Obama on wars, economy, Constitution shredding, etc.

Food and fuel are IN the CPI and that is what’s used for Social Security ["Core inflation is not used for things like calculating cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security; those use the regular CPI." Krugman - http://nyti.ms/pBmDWQ. Changing that is what DDay notes Obama may do to screw us.

Marcy: You are the true successor to I.F. Stone. And, remember, he did a weekly. So, don’t push yourself to get something everyday. Though I will certainly miss the multiple, detailed stories per day, the value of your work is easily high enough to wait for.
I’ll certainly be following to wherever you go.

michtom commented on the blog post Is Anwar al-Awlaki The Unnamed “National of the United States” In Warsame Indictment?
I see no reason to think that Obama would only agree with Bushies under pressure. Why do you?
Why do you think Obama would be advantageous in terms of
1. The rule of law
2. Abiding by the Constitution
3. Ending wars
4. Bringing corporations under control
5. Creating jobs (in the US)
6. Maintaining US infrastructure
7. Protecting abortion rights
8. Preventing (or slowing down) global warming
Etc. Etc. And so forth???????? -

michtom commented on the blog post Trash Talk: Fox TV Sucks a Bag Of Big Honking Salted Dicks
Tried to watch the Mets-Yankees World Series on Fox. Gave up after watching repeated shots of celebraties and team wives in the crowd, managers’ forehead wrinkles in the dugout and extreme closeups of batters’ & pitchers’ pores instead of a baseball game.
Fox sports is to sports as Fox news is to news.

I’m not a constitutional scholar, but isn’t having a nominee obviously dedicated to undermining said document a legitimate reason for opposition?
