What is the Occupy Wall Street General Assembly?

As explained by Georgia Sagri:

"NYC General Assemblies are an open participatory and horizontally organized process through which we are building the capacity to constitute ourselves in public as autonomous collective forces within and against representative politics, cultural death and the crisis of our times."

Got that?

Now here's how you participate as part of the autonomous collective force:

Toyota -- The Car Dealers....of DEATH.

The Sarah Palin as Trainable Parrot Theory

I continue to read about and hear this notion that if Sarah Palin can "bone up" on her grasp of the issues, she can come back and be a force.

Simple question: Would anyone be saying this if she were a man? Isn't treating her like a parrot misogynistic on some level?



I strongly recommend reading "The Meaning of Sarah Palin" by Yuval Levin.

The fabled shift to a "green energy" economy is a pipe-dream

It takes a special kind of naivete to believe subsidizing energy which costs 3x to 6x as much as fossil fuels (depending on who you ask) is going to benefit anyone, except for the politically connected...even so, the fabled shift to a "green energy" economy is a pipe-dream to succor the feel-good set into supporting what is essentially just a big tax hike.

Ten years from now, the percentage of energy produced from wind and solar will be no higher than it is today -- we'll just be paying a lot more for the oil and coal energy we consume.

There does exist a real green and cost effective energy source not many in power seem interested in -- nuclear power, of course.

My home state of Maine has been ahead of the curve lately, passing gay marriage laws and income tax cuts. Perhaps Maine can lead country forward with clean nuclear energy. Let's bring Maine Yankee back online and continue to show the rest of the country how it's done.

Only 3.27 Trillion?

Heritage Foundation estimates the true cost of stimulus: $3.27 Trillion. I actually think they are underestimating, as many of the programs (and the failures they create) will lead to new programs and greater spending in the future.

True act of highway robbery.

There are two types of people in America today:
1- those who remember the Carter years and
2- those who are going to find out.

We are going to laugh at this fad 20 years from now, right?

This "green" product brings the movement form ridiculous to absurd.

Obama is a politician in denial (video)

Here is Obama today in Pennsylvania, defending his demeaning put-down of blue collar America. Here is a politician who has already gotten away with so much, always escaping unscathed. Watch this video and you'll see someone in denial (yet sub-consciously, it is clear he knows he is in trouble). He is trying to spin his blunder like it is nothing, only he comes across as an insecure bully who knows he is cornered (even his laughs, and the crowd's laughs, are strange and pleading).



Look at this guy. There is no way he is going to be the next president. Even though I doubt Hillary catches him, especially after Bosnia-gate, it doesn't matter; you are looking at McGovern 2008.
