Cast your minds back to November. Barack Obama had received his "shellacking" in the midterm elections, as the Republicans regained a majority in the House of Representatives and seized control of 29 of the 50 state governorships. It was the worst midterm defeat for the Democrats since 1938. Just a

John Nichols: "The challenge is to build state-based movements that are muscular enough to win immediate fights (blocking bad legislation, preventing cuts, preserving embattled unions, organizing new workers) while pulling Democrats—including the president—away from the politics of caution and compromise."

Brilliant. Absolutely fucking brilliant. Jon Stewart covered the Fox News freakout over rapper Common being invited to the White House for a poetry reading, because of ONE poem he wrote years ago that they deliberately misinterpret to make him sound like a violent rapper. This caused Jon to creat

During our guerrilla rebranding of the David Koch Theater, we also projected a drive-in movie, with a cartoon of the Koch Brothers saying things like "Corporations are people, too" and "Global Warming is AWESOME!"

Now we've left a blank speech balloon for you - what words would you put in David Koch's mouth?

The deception never ends. Looks like there's more for the Wisconsin GAB to look into when it comes to recalls. Wisconsin Democratic Party says a group trying to recall state Sen Julie Lassa violated state campaign finance laws. We'll keep you posted!

A local group working to recall state Sen. Julie Lassa might have violated state campaign finance law when it ran advertisements in local newspapers that exceeded the contribution threshold.

ThinkProgress » Microsoft Structured Acquisition Of Skype To Avoid U.S. Taxes
Microsoft structured its $8.5 billion purchase of Skype using tax havens to avoid paying U.S. taxes. If you think highly profitable companies like Microsoft need to pay their fair share LIKE this post.
thinkprogress.org
One fact that has gone underreported about the deal is how Microsoft structured it to keep its taxes as low as possible. As the Wall Street Journal’s Ronald Barusch notes, Microsoft and Skype saved billions of dollars in taxes because Microsoft used its foreign profits to purchase Skype, which also ...

Fear us much? (2)

Fear us much? (2)
The current hysteria around "big government" smacks of elitist paranoia about the inherent power of the People in a democracy.
It's one thing to criticize government waste, another thing to rail against the idea of "big government" without defining what is meant by big. The current hysteria around "big government" smacks of elitist paranoia about the inherent power of the People ...in a democracy. It's inconsistent and odd to say it's good for the government to regulate our sexuality and reproduction, but it should stay out of the financial system. The hysteria vilifies the most powerful instrument of the People's will in a democracy, our government. And it lets off the hook the criminals on Wall Street and turns the People against themselves. Isn't it at least a bit obnoxious to assert that liberty should be defined simply as the absence of government and insist that this must be so or you're a _____? Are you really free when you're starving to death because the government is not in the room? Let's think about it. Let's talk about it with civility and reason. There's a lot to discuss. Note to all the liberty dogmatists out there: There is no one absolute definition liberty. "What is liberty ?" is one of the enduring questions in the humanities along with "What is love?" "What is justice?" "What is evil?" and "What is human nature?" This is part of the ongoing conversation that is the stuff of human history. The desire to answer or at least assert a particular answer to these questions propels events in our history. To settle on one definition as absolute would actually lead to authoritarian thinking. Ongoing dialogue about these human values is a good thing. To be more specific, political theorists such as Isaiah Berlin analyzed at least two - different and at times competing - concepts of liberty in western political theory. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/liberty-positive-negative/ Negative ("freedom from") articulated by Hobbes among others and positive ("freedom to") articulated by Aristotle among others. There are other competing definitions of liberty. And, yes, we are a democracy AND a republic. http://www.coffeepartyusa.com/democracy-and-republicSee More
