| Chickens for Checkups, round 4: Rove playbook fail Posted: 21 Apr 2010 11:10 PM PDT NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh borrows a page from Karl Rove's playbook and tries to blame Democrats for making "Chickens for Checkups" an issue in the 2010 Nevada Senate race:
Uh, first, wasn't it Sue Lowden who injected farm animals into the Senate race by not once, not twice, but three times proposing her 'Chickens for Checkups' barter scheme? Hard to blame Reid for pointing out the sheer idiocy of one of his opponent's ideas. And second, given that it was the Republican candidate who put "farm animals" front and center, isn't the NRSC essentially calling Sue Lowden "frankly a bit pathetic"?

| KY-Sen: Sarah Palin stars in new Rand Paul ad Posted: 21 Apr 2010 10:40 PM PDT Rand Paul has unveiled a new ad featuring Sarah Palin's endorsement of his campaign for the GOP nomination in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race. Here's a pair of screenshots from the ad.  There's a chance you might recognize the screenshot of Palin speaking: it's from her February 7, 2010 appearance on Fox News Sunday. Ordinarily, the inclusion of a clip from cable channel in a campaign ad would be unremarkable, but just last month, Fox demanded the DNC pull an ad from YouTube that included Fox footage. The DNC asserted that it was exercising its fair use rights to no avail; Fox stood by its demand, and YouTube pulled the clip. Meanwhile, there are several clips from Fox on the RNC channel (example 1, 2, and 3). There's nothing wrong with that, but if Fox is going to allow the RNC and Rand Paul to use its video in their political campaigns, shouldn't they also let the DNC do the same?

| Posted: 21 Apr 2010 10:35 PM PDT DR GRUMPY - Marie is a slumber party veteran. Between friends, school, and girl scouts, there are frequent sleep-overs at somebody's house. I drop her off, give them my cell phone number, and tell her I'll see her in the morning. So tonight, she had a slumber party. I dropped her off, handed somebody my cell phone number, kissed her goodnight, and turned around to leave... To find the kid's mother blocking my way to the door, handing me a clipboard and a pen. It was, I swear, more paperwork then a new patient at my office has to fill out. She wanted me to: - Sign a legal waiver saying we wouldn't sue her over any injuries Marie might sustain in the course of a "normal slumber party" (whatever the hell that is). - Fill out a form listing what ER I wanted her taken to in the event of an emergency. - Fill out a paper listing medicine and food allergies (I can understand that part, actually), and any special dietary requirements. - List her pediatrician's name and number. - List her height & weight (to my surprise, she didn't ask for a blood type). - Write out a list of all valuables she had on her (I wrote "pink PJ's with horses on them"). And then she chewed me out for not having a photocopy of our insurance card with me. See you in the morning, Marie. You know my cell, in case you need to be rescued from crazy mom. _______________________________________________________

| US: All Options on the Table Against Syria Posted: 21 Apr 2010 10:11 PM PDT Though they have admitted once again that they still haven't actually got any proof that any such thing happened, the US State Department insisted today that "all options are on the table" with respect to retaliating against Syria over its alleged delivery of Scud missiles to Hezbollah. Assistant Secretary Jeffrey Feltman says the State Department has "really, really serious concern" about the report, and said if Syria actually turns out to have done such a thing it would be a "provocative action."

| LIVE: President Obama on Wall Street Reform Posted: 21 Apr 2010 09:51 PM PDT Just over two years ago, as a Senator and presidential candidate, Barack Obama delivered a speech on the need for Wall Street reform at Cooper Union in New York City. Today, on the cusp of signing a reform package into law, President Obama returns to Cooper Union to make his final argument for getting something done. Here's a live video feed of President Obama's speech: Update: The full speech is included below the fold. In it, Obama stresses five key principles: taxpayer protection from future financial institution failures "new transparency" in the financial system; more consumer protections; the "Volker Rule," which sets limits on the size of banks and the risks that banks can take; and a larger role for investors and pension holders. --mcjoan Update 2: Hitting on the "permanent bailout" lie: "But what is not legitimate is to suggest that we’re enabling or encouraging future taxpayer bailouts, as some have claimed. That may make for a good sound bite, but it’s not factually accurate." Update 3: Strong support for the Volker Rule and ending too big to fail--that's a critical element, (which Simon Johnson explains really well) and hopefully means there'll be White House support for the Brown/Kaufman/Whitehouse amendment.

| Alzheimer's drugs cause brain damage and actually worsen memory loss Posted: 21 Apr 2010 09:48 PM PDT Big Pharma drugs that are being used on humans right now and promoted as potential treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) could cause the very brain damage and memory loss they are supposed to treat.

| The Making of American Foreign Policy It's all about domestic politics Posted: 21 Apr 2010 09:46 PM PDT A huge ongoing propaganda campaign is constantly churning out pro-Israel materials directed at a wide variety of special interest groups: the lobby's most well-known success story is the Christian fundamentalist faction, which believes in the key role played by Israel as a harbinger of the second coming of Christ. The lobby has parlayed this into a powerful domestic constituency fanatically devoted to Israel's cause – and not just the cause of the current Israeli government, but of the most extremist and expansionist elements in the Israeli polity.

| Civil suit filed against former Hawaii priest for sex assault of teen Posted: 21 Apr 2010 09:36 PM PDT Matson was a chaplain at Tripler Army Medical Center before the Hawai'i crimes occurred in August 1998. During his criminal trial in Honolulu, the victim testified Matson was showing him magic tricks about levitating when he started fondling him. Matson denied molesting the boy. Matson remains behind bars at the Halawa Correctional Facility and is scheduled for release in 2020.

| The Murder of Donkeys and Detained Goats by Israel Posted: 21 Apr 2010 09:05 PM PDT The criminal treatment of animals by the IDF and the jewish squatters is not directed at the animals per se, but is part of their strategy of genocide and ethnic cleansing against us Palestinians. The animals, donkeys, mulis, sheep, goats, chicken, dogs, cats … are kept by their owners as part of their business. They represent work resources, food, the livelihood of these farmers and their families. The purpose of "arresting" (holding for ransom), stealing, killing these animals and to destroy or poison artesian wells is to ruinate their owners.

| JUST WHAT IS ETHNIC CLEANSING? Posted: 21 Apr 2010 08:56 PM PDT In October of 2009, amendments were made to military orders governing the legitimate presence of persons in Occupied Palestinian Territory. The changes, effective six months after the signing of the orders, are beginning to take effect. It is important to note that Palestinians are not in control of the Palestinian population registry. Israel maintains strict control over this database and continues to do so. It is because of this that Israeli authorities can determine the residencies of Palestinians and only through the Israelis can the Palestinian Authority issue identification documents.

| TELLING ZIONISTS WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW Posted: 21 Apr 2010 08:56 PM PDT I do not have to tell them about their occupation. My duty is to fight it. I have always known that. As for the Israelis? Well, ask them. A surprising number of them already know.

| 'The SEC is a farce' - expert Posted: 21 Apr 2010 08:53 PM PDT With the Securities and Exchange Commission filing charges against Goldman Sachs, arguably Wall Street's most lauded and respected firm, it's tempting to say the agency is targeting corporate titans to get its mojo back.
