In the meantime, in places where second and third class citizens are also standing up for their rights and demanding accountability from their leaders...America gives the green light for one of the most authoritarian regimes in the world to invade another country and put down the uprising. And the Repubs said Obama lacked the experience to play the game...

Courts or autocrats, Jay never met a dictatorial power in the service of capital he didn't like. So...the Democratic mayor of Sacramento is a dictator, and the pool of revenues generated by local taxes, for the express purpose of providing public services, is "capital?" Yes. Every public adminstrator trying to maintain the minimal level of public services with the actual stream of income at his disposal is a cigar chomping plutocrat hellbent on leveraging his power to enrich himself at the expense of the poor wretches under his charge. :lmao: "Critical Social science degrees and and the damage done, a Marxist cartoon for everything under the sun, ohhhh, the damage done..." Can the good guy bullshit, psycho-boy. We all know this is about bond traders and shareholder value for you. The crisis in public services just provides a convenient talking point to make sure the "right people" get paid and the "other guys" take the haircut. If it were about anything else, y'all wouldn't have been cashing out all your chips through tax cuts when times were flush.

Man, giving out tax cuts when times were "good" instead of funding pension obligations and shoring up services was a really bad idea. Great example for the children and all that... As has been said before, the only way to really close the gap is by stimulating economic growth, increasing demand for the goods and services that drive local economies. Cutting middle class workers' pay and benefits to the bare minimum of what will keep them alive and showing up to work isn't going to do that. It will simply depress wages across the board for public and private sector workers. It's why capitalists like the Kochs (and utopian ideologues like Jay) are really into this shit even if you're just "doing the math".

It's all good.

"Bye Democracy, come back soon! Whoo, that was fun... Wait, it is coming back, right?"

...always saying they'll pick up their arms against tyranny in defense of democracy? Oh that's right, they're Republicans.
-
Since Obama's decided to become a moderate Republican he's practically coasting to reelection (and hanging us out to dry in the process).
-
Yes, but fortunately the GOP can't come up with anyone remotely human, much less anyone with any political skills. Fuckabee? Gnewt? Romneycare? The Thune? Palin/Gosselin? Where y'all at?!

Both finding "experts" almost completely out of control of Nature's elemental forces: Welcome to the Anthropocene, it's not going to be much fun... From what I've read about TEPCO, there doesn't seem to be much difference in the way any of these companies operate: Lacking in transparency, prone to corruption, and ultimately self-serving. That anyone in the States is willing to entertain the notion of expanded nuclear given the depravity of our business class and the real likelihood of people like Michelle Bachmann and Rand Paul cast in the role of enabler is a sick joke.

More like I ran into a woman that I was actually attracted to that didn't run away screaming when I started talking about climbing, economics, and the political economy of foreign aid in Africa.
