Irony?
Netanyahu interview: Obama's top foreign priority should be to keep Iran from getting nukes.
Why: "You don't want a messianic apocalyptic cult controlling atomic bombs. When the wide-eyed believer gets hold of the reins of power and the weapons of mass death, then the entire world should start worrying, and that is what is happening in [ ]."
Hmmm.... Sound familiar?

Sounds about right
The number of Americans who believe that the nation is headed in the right direction has roughly tripled since Barack Obama's election, and the public overwhelmingly blames the excesses of the financial industry, rather than the new president, for turmoil in the economy, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Jim Webb's prison reform push
Seems to me a gutsy move by Webb. The most obvious reason is that it is so easy for him to lose, politically, on this issue and few obvious ways to gain.

Putting blame where it belongs
A very good piece by Simon Johnson (formerly of the IMF) about the politics of economic crises.
His point is that while there is plenty of blame, the problem boils down to changes in policy, time and time again, which benefited the financial industry.
...[B]ut these various policies—lightweight regulation, cheap money, the unwritten Chinese-American economic alliance, the promotion of homeownership—had something in common. Even though some are traditionally associated with Democrats and some with Republicans, they all benefited the financial sector. Policy changes that might have forestalled the crisis but would have limited the financial sector’s profits—such as Brooksley Born’s now-famous attempts to regulate credit-default swaps at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, in 1998—were ignored or swept aside.

Out-of-network insurance fees to get a long look
About damn time.
It's a scam how insurance companies determine how much they will pay of a bill, for a customer who pays their premiums but suddenly wants to use the insurance they've been paying for. The gall!

Still, though, this is good news. Now, if only Obama would tap Jon Corzine for Treasury this would be a good week...

SCOTUS to examine strip search of high school student
Schools have been rights-free bubbles for some time now, mostly because conservatives can't stand the idea of students actually standing up for their rights.
But no probable cause for the strip search of this high school girl (over ibuprofen) might rock their world.
Apparently, even being good is irrelevant. Money quote, from the school district's brief:
“Her assertion should not be misread to infer that she never broke school rules,” the district said of Ms. Redding in a brief, “only that she was never caught.”

Manzi, quoted by Andrew Sullivan, tries to put it into perspective. Manzi misses the point, however, that small things do matter, particularly in the financial markets which run equally on money and emotion.

Puncturing the balloon
James Poniewozik tells it like it is. Money quote:
CNBC's reaction is colored by its stressed-out day trader's focus on the short term. When ordinary people think about the economy, they think about jobs, college, retirement. Sure, the stock market affects them in the long run — but so do job security and the threat of getting wiped out by health-care bills. When CNBC considers the economy, it means Wall Street's numbers that day, that hour, that minute. CNBC may pay lip service to the long term, but it has the time horizon of a fruit fly.
The daily change in the various stock markets are hugely overemphasized as a thermometer of the economy. And CNBC rides that wave all day, every day. They know no other beach, in fact.

Today I filed papers and petitions to be on the ballot for Mayor of Mount Pocono. A high prestige, low power position, I don't believe there is any other Democrat for the primary and only one Republican will be filing that I know of (who is also running for borough council again I believe).
More later.... I'm a little nervous about the whole thing, but excited as well.

The Zombie Party
How to Marginalize a National Party, Part I: Keep insisting Obama is not a citizen, to loud applause.
Republicans have enjoyed very strong party cohension for many years--it is a hallmark of the GOP. But right now it is binding up a zombie, with yahoos as the mouthpieces for a once-great national party. Until the GOP can get back on its feet (with something more than being against everything Obama proposes), we're stuck with this sideshow from the Right.

Salman Rushdie named one of New York's "hottest bachelor"
I have to admit to knowing nothing, really, about Page Six, but the fact that they named Rushdie as one of New York's "hottest bachelor" makes me think that there must be, like, 50 single guys in New York anymore. Maybe they are confused by the fact that he had a hot wife.

Second Obama appointee with tax problems
Can't blame this one on Obama, however. Daschle hid his tax problem during the vetting process.
Typically I'd say the tax problem is no big deal. But the hiding it from the Obama team is a big deal. If he were hiding it from those on his side, who is to say he won't do the same (or worse) to his perceived political opponents?
Make an example of him and cut him loose.

Since when are Republicans against tax cuts?
When they are proposed by Democrats.
This is going to bite them in the ass, in the end. The last two elections have seen the GOP going the wrong way against what the voters want (2005: "The cutting taxes and ballooning the budget will force the government into fiscal responsibility! 2009: Deficit spending is bad bad bad!")
This does have echoes of 1993, but really: Not a single Republican could vote their political conscience over party unity?

GOP to vote "no" on stimulus package anyway
Despite Obama outreach, it looks like the GOP will vote down the stimulus bill no matter what.
They'll nitpick it to death, then vote "no" in the end. Doesn't sound like a good reason for Dems to compromise if the GOP members aren't willing to vote for it in the end. Essentially, they want Obama to own the stimulus bill and hang it on him.
I'm not so sure that the GOP really has any political courage anymore, but I can't blame them too much on this. They simply can't bring themselves to work on a bill with which they disagree, and are doubling down on a long-lasting economic downturn in the hopes of blaming it all on the Dems and riding that to political victory.
Hmmm. Maybe I can blame them after all.

Let the hate begin!
Scott Martin hoping (pretty please!) for economic destruction in order to prove a political point. The phrase "un-American" has been beat to death by conservatives, but if conservatives think of themselves as being the only true Americans, Scott's sentiment seems rather unconservative.
Others are hoping that if their fake argument about Obama's citizenship didn't work, that their fake argument about the oath will.
If only some of these people had raised a finger during the last 8 years while Bush beat the drums for a bigger government (in all areas: number of programs, employees, budget, and scope) they might have at least some dignity. They'd still be wrong, but they would have some philosophical leg to stand on. As it is, they just all sound cynical and petty, preaching louder and louder to smaller and smaller choirs.

Henderson, Rice elected to Baseball Hall of Fame
I was glad to see Rice make it. Rickey Henderson was a lock. From the Yahoo article:
"Rickey Henderson's first-ballot election into Hall of Fame today is only fitting for the greatest leadoff hitter in baseball history," Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff said. "We are proud that much of Rickey's career was spent here in his hometown of Oakland, where he provided Bay Area fans with so many thrills as perhaps the most exciting player of his generation."
Just for fun, mentally substitute "Rickey Henderson" for "Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff." It works!

Fisking the Vatican on Plan B
Just wanted to park this here (and get feedback) while I think this through.
I'm not sure I agree with the last paragraph (that Catholics may take contraception in "good conscience"), since I believe this is directly against John Paul II's "Theology of the Body." But I want to root around a bit on it.
Overall, it is hard to follow the moral teachings of anyone (or anything) when they don't appear to be getting the science right. It smacks of an already-decided mentality that doesn't sit right.
Comments welcome, of course, particularly from Catholics.

No, I'm not talking about the assholes at Westboro Baptist Church.
I'm referring to Christian Scientists who force their children into sickness and death from treatable illnesses on account of their (the parents') beliefs. Interesting letter to Andrew Sullivan on the point today bringing it home.
I couldn't help but muse, as Andrew is doing, about the possibility of John Travolta withholding medication from his son because of his own Scientology beliefs.

In case is isn't clear to her, $40K a year for an artist would put her in in the top half of income for a full-time artist.
Given the state of the economy, there are many people who would be pleased to be making $40K/year without dependents or real health care costs.

Dubai hotel to cool their beach
Such a huge expression of the super-rich in the wake of auto company failures here in the States is a bit staggering. I understand that Dubai is just that way, and I suppose if I had a small country that took in way more than it needed I'd probably be putting in indoor ski mountains in the middle of the desert, too.
I hope I'm not coming across as jealous (I'm really not). The gap between the super rich and poor (or even the moderate) is most accutely felt when normal people are really struggling to stay afloat.

Dealing with global warming skeptics
First, make sure you aren't dealing with a global warming denier. A skeptic is someone who is at least open to the argument. Global warming has, on account of the Right's pervasive and ongoing anti-intellectualism, caused many otherwise-thinking people the belief that "opinion," "theory," and "fact" as being interchangible. They aren't.
Here are some arguments to help in fighting the good fight.

At first glance I think I agree with Josh Marshall that this was more of a bad business decision (or, a series of bad management moves combined with an unsustainable expectation of high profit margins) rather than a change in how newspapers are used socially and politically here in the US.
