    Do you give any credence to Sheldon Wolin’s theory of “inverted totalitarianism” or do you think Obama would have zoomed to the upper right even without the corporate paymasters?

    Bill K. Black is good.
    He works to expose the frauds.
    He gets a gold* star!

    *Real gold not the naked short ETF stuff.

    A proposed 2,000 foot wide swath further north through Maine might tie in nicely.

    It’s good to know there is nothing to this NAFTA Super Corridor thing.

    Twonine commented on the blog post Tragedy to Farce: US Military Changes Feng Shui on Bases in Afghanistan

    In addition, soldiers working in headquarters buildings or as advisors in Afghan ministries have been told to move their desks so that their backs are no longer facing the door, said the official, who spoke anonymously because he was discussing sensitive security measures.

    Not farce but human nature and possibly the first common sense thing done in these wars of aggression. From A Pattern Language:

    You feel more comfortable in a workplace if there is a wall behind you. (If your back is exposed you feel vulnerable – you can never tell if someone is looking at you, or if someone is coming toward you from behind.) The data supports this hypothesis at the 1 percent level of significance.

    It’s from Kennedy’s 1963 “Remarks at Amherst College”. I sent it to my daughter when she was feeling down about choosing an art career instead of something “practical”.

    This place is poetry in motion.

    When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses, for art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstone of [...]

    How about endorsments in 2010? I applauded and helped fund this effort. http://firedoglake.com/2010/03/01/accountability-now-announces-first-candidate-bill-halter/

    Twonine commented on the blog post Come Saturday Morning: Minnesota ALEC Members Pretend ALEC Is Impotent

    Thanks for the eunuch alert. Thanks also to David Sirota http://twitter.com/#!/davidsirota/status/169114756018479104/ and the Progressive States Network http://www.progressivestates.org/ for shining the spotlight on this “think tank”.

    From Sirota’s 2006 book Hostile Takeover:
    “Big business even has its tentacles in local politics. After a number of cities began enacting their own minimum-wage laws, bought-off state legislators started introducing bills to invalidate these local statutes in their midst. Not surprisingly, these “Minimum Wage Repeal Acts” were originally drafted by the American Legislative Exchange Council – a right-wing think than funded by major corporations who have a financial interest in eliminating the minimum wage”.

    Also, a new report from Maine.

    A special kind of sense of humor helps too. Some of the protesters were joking with a US reporter that the least the US could do was provide tear gas canisters whose expiration date hadn’t past.

    Yves Smith’s comment regarding pole, on a comment on her commentary on a John Walker post. “The polls were actually showing nearly 70%, then they started changing the wording to reduce the approval rates. It went from something like “Do you approve of the goals of OWS” or something like that to “Do you think [...]
