myshadow commented on the blog post CFTC Caves To Wall Street, Will Continue To Allow Cartel To Control Derivatives Market
I totally agree. I have my meager savings with a credit union. I’m on SS now and refuse to put any money in the ‘stock market’.
One can hope that the majority of the country is not in debt or dependent on
the financial ‘services’ industry.
I do hope this house of cards collapses, the universal loathing the population has for these jackals is the only unifying force between basic republicans and the left. -

‘I must respect a person who is serious about using the power he has to try to advance his long stated goals.’
I don’t.
That isn’t what he’s doing, and he isn’t ‘advancing’ anything.

The boys mother has shades of Margarite Oswald. The FBI was all over their internet traffic.
A ‘little’ disconcerting is how much lead was fired that didn’t find the appropriate target. Older brother died from being run over by junior after suicide by cop didn’t work out.
I totally agree with ‘the handlers’ angle.
Considering the algorithms Tamerlan had to be using I find it hard to see how it was missed, given how he was connected.
They have been very mum about the condition and wounds suffered by Dzhokhar.
I heard something about wounds to mouth, neck and leg.
As I write they are trying to get a story straight on it 1:53 PDT. -

myshadow commented on the blog post Democrats Push Back Against Obama Budget As Republicans Take Advantage
I’m really glad you posted this vignette.
Rachel has long been a cheerleader for this administration. By the day she has let her corporate overlords erode the intellectual honesty that made her such a compelling persona.
Her reduction of axelrod to a yammering moron was spectacular. Without histrionics, she steadily dissembled the hapless axelrod’s pathetic listing of useless talking points.
Yesterday the entire msnbc programming was full frontal support of the chained CPI proposal, with tweety the most aggressively condescending of the left.
I think Rachel’s punch the hippie reference was a shot at the suits as much as the administration.
She clearly channelled country is an exhausted battered spouse, the people over fifty are watching odious pundits on republican owned corporate media berating the decency of Social Security and how they can muzzle COLAs with a chained CPI before the inflationary spiral occurs when the bernank runs out of arrows in his quantitative quiver.
There was a time when it seemed the president could summon the right words to make the sense we all wanted to hear, he suffered a famine of nuance, because he long stopped telling the truth, and was complicit in creating the metastasized damaged country he could have started to heal. The country thought briefly ‘something would change’, alas they realized no matter who you vote for, the corporation wins. -
myshadow commented on the diary post Time to Bell the Obama Cat by Norman Solomon.
Tonight, Rachel Maddow departed from the MSNBC party line of lockstepping behind the chained CPI, to take david axelrod to the woodshed over it. He was reduced to a yammering shell. She has been a loyal 0bot, but tonight she was relentless in her rebuke of the white house’s turning on it’s base, and by [...]

myshadow commented on the blog post Is Obama Actively Trying to Keep Democrats From Taking Back the House?
because he is, as he said,
“The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican,” he told Noticias Univision 23 in a White House interview.His white house overtly subverted the chances of the dems in 2010 with gibbs openly musing about the possibilities of defeat to poking DFH’s with the ‘professional left’ condescension.
This morning on the msnbc’s alex wagner obot show you had the panel nodding approvingly as howard wolfson charts out the white house position of ‘if you have the extreme left(that includes the poor, disabled, elderly who may not give a political shit about issues) and the extreme right upset with you, your just where you want to be.” Then wagner chiming in with ‘Everyone knows he’s a centrist’…
So you have comcast owned corporate media picking up the torch from GE and feeding this ‘centrist’ crap, will allow the negotiated positions to move to the right. -

Right, ‘Entitlement’ has been hitched to ‘sense of entitlement’ which is an unwarranted claim to something as opposed the virtue of being entitled through the aforementioned ‘earned benefit’.
Regrettable potus and his toadys speak in the luntzian dialect, and mean it. -
