And when they do, it is incredibly inaccurate. William K. Black has taken the traditional MSM to the woodshed, especially the NYT:

Probably planning a drone strike

No museum but an exhibit at Musée D’Orsay. I’m not sure if it’s still there but it opened to some controversy in early 2010.

Schneiderman will be the opening evening keynote speaker at this year’s NetRoots Nation. I promised my friend I won’t do anything to get us arrested but I may make up a sign. Open to suggestions

Unless Schneiderman has been promised something bigger by Obama, US AG, he should walk away from this farce and, if he still can, withdraw his support of this farce settlement that hasn’t been settled.

But I have a feeling, he’s accepted a bigger bribe and signing onto this bank bailout will assure his easy confirmation. (Just speculating the Obama will get a 2nd term.)

Meanwhile, we have high profile politicians and public officials meeting openly with leaders of an organization that is on the State Department’s Terrorist Watch List, MEK, Mujahedin-e Khalq. BUt you’re only a terrorist when we say so

I see Mme. La Pen is following in her father’s footsteps. M. Sarkozy is following in Obama’s by trying to please the Pen supporters by campaigning on “Christian” or “Judeo-Christian” principles that may not get him to the second, one-on-one round.

He already has by allowing them to dictate their religious objections and force women to take extra steps to access health care. This is in every sense a violation of the 1st amendment forcing the religious doctrine of an anachronistic, unrealistic, celibate, patriarchal church hierarchy on a protected class, re: women. T

These questions may be off topic but I’ll ask them anyway.

With regard to the pardon the banks have received for fraud, forgery and perjury (robosigning), does this prohibit future charges against the banks for continuing to use fraudulent documents in court foreclosures?

Will judges be permitted to hold the banks accountable for presenting these documents?

What about future foreclosures? Will the banks still be permitted to present these fraudulent documents with immunity?

I understand that cases like Delaware AG Beau Biden’s lawsuit against MERS, Missouri AG Chris Koster’s criminal indictments against DocX, and Nevada AG Catherine Cortez Masto’s suit against LPS and its employees can go forward but what happens if in the investigation & prosecution of these cases criminal wrong doing by the banks themselves is uncovered? Will the states be able to bring charges?

This issue is precisely the reason we needed a public option, or preferably single payer.

They have the option of offering health insurance that does not cover prescriptions. This is a tempest in a teapot because the opinions of men in red dresses who abuse young boys carries more weight than the lives of women.

If anyone had read that statement carefully this morning they would have realized that this was in no way a guarantee that Komen would fund grants to PP in the future but only honor the ones that had already been awarded. Those are the facts. The even bigger travesty in all of this is that Komen also cut funding to any research done that uses embryonic stem cells. That amounts to over $12 million this year alone. Granted a drop in the bucket to what is really needed but damned hard to replace.

Dayen missed it and Politt missed it, too. I have no doubt that next year there will be no Komen funds going to PP if the same right wing haters of women are in charge.

Agreed. The statement was very carefully worded:

Amending our criteria will ensure that politics has no place in our grant process. We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities.

And Silence Kills

The torture didn’t end, it just changed hands.

Legal question: Does this overturn Posse Comitatus?

no, it’s been on a ventilator since the passage of the un-Patriot Act

This is what Obama wanted. The earned income tax credit should have been continued it was a bigger tax savings for the under $40k
