Peter_Puget Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 It appears the Pothead/Republican Coalition is unraveling... Last night while walking into AT&T I saw plenty of non-official Lincecum shirts displaying a pot leaf on the front for sale. As the game started I told my family how as a kid I always felt the A's and the Raiders seemed like the Democrats and the Giants and 49s seemed like the Republicans. It seems like the Republican/Pothead coalition is still going strong! GO GIANTS! Quote
prole Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Sorry, I just can't get excited about a San Francisco vs. metro-Dallas matchup. I am glad you're enjoying October though. Quote

There's the rest of U!!! BTW, my estimation of Regan spun around 180 degrees when I read a single sentence about him in the book: "Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer" http://www.amazon.com/Dossier-Secret-History-Armand-Hammer/dp/B000GG4HG6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1288315998&sr=1-1 Holy shite, on that subject my estimation of Al Gore Senior went the opposite direction X5. What a fucking selfish whore prick Gore was. Well researched, well documented, if you love history, especially history which touches us to this day: read this damn book. Awesome stuff! Quote

j_b Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Tax dollars at work: Jail Industrial complex behind Arizona law by Laura Sullivan Last year, two men showed up in Benson, Ariz., a small desert town 60 miles from the Mexico border, offering a deal. Glenn Nichols, the Benson city manager, remembers the pitch. "The gentleman that's the main thrust of this thing has a huge turquoise ring on his finger," Nichols said. "He's a great big huge guy and I equated him to a car salesman." What he was selling was a prison for women and children who were illegal immigrants. "They talk [about] how positive this was going to be for the community," Nichols said, "the amount of money that we would realize from each prisoner on a daily rate." But Nichols wasn't buying. He asked them how would they possibly keep a prison full for years - decades even - with illegal immigrants? "They talked like they didn't have any doubt they could fill it," Nichols said. That's because prison companies like this one had a plan - a new business model to lock up illegal immigrants. And the plan became Arizona's immigration law. Behind-The-Scenes Effort To Draft, Pass The Law The law is being challenged in the courts. But if it's upheld, it requires police to lock up anyone they stop who cannot show proof they entered the country legally. When it was passed in April, it ignited a fire storm. Protesters chanted about racial profiling. Businesses threatened to boycott the state. Supporters were equally passionate, calling it a bold positive step to curb illegal immigration. But while the debate raged, few people were aware of how the law came about. NPR spent the past several months analyzing hundreds of pages of campaign finance reports, lobbying documents and corporate records. What they show is a quiet, behind-the-scenes effort to help draft and pass Arizona Senate Bill 1070 by an industry that stands to benefit from it: the private prison industry. Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, pictured here at Tea Party rally on Oct. 22, was instrumental in drafting the state's immigration law. He also sits on a American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) task force, a group that helped shape the law. The law could send hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to prison in a way never done before. And it could mean hundreds of millions of dollars in profits to private prison companies responsible for housing them. more here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130833741 Quote
