The True Cost of the Iraq War [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
September 08, 2010The Washington Post has reported that its initial estimate of $3 trillion for the Iraq War is likely inadequate. A deeper evaluation of the war’s costs shows the true depths of the disaster it has meant for all Americans. The report is worth a read, especially in light of certain Republican gains in this fall’s elections.
(0) Comments •Prop 8 Overturned [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
August 04, 2010A Federal judge in California has overturned Proposition 8, which banned all gay marriages. The crux of the matter: “Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license.” Now come the appeals which will wind up in the Supreme Court. Expect a 5 - 4 verdict. Which way it will go, who knows… But a great first start.

Argentina will be the first South American country to allow gay marriage in a historic vote taking place late last night. Meanwhile, the President of the United States can’t even manage to lift the odious Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Forget gay marriage - he says he doesn’t believe in it.

Americans Expect Jesus to Return Any Time Now [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
June 23, 2010You know your country is in trouble when 41% of its citizens believe that Jesus will return to earth in the next 40 years, according to a Pew Research poll out today. You can’t make that up, as much as we’d like to.
(0) Comments •Feldman Owns Stock in Transocean [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
US District Judge Martin Feldman, who overturned the moratorium on new deepwater drilling yesterday, is (or was as of 2008) a stockholder in at least one company affected by the BP mess - Transocean Ltd, owner of the now-destroyed rig. Feldman, a right wing Reagan appointee, should have recused himself from the case but instead overturned the ban on questionable grounds. Now he has some ‘spaining to do. UPDATE: It’s being reported that Feldman may still own some stock - disclosures as recently as May 2010 include the stock ownership.
(0) Comments •Reagan Appointee Blocks Deepwater Drilling Moratorium [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
June 22, 2010In one of the more blatantly political rulings in ages, US District Judge Martin Feldman blocked the Federal Government’s moratorium on new deepwater drilling as “arbitrary and capricious.” In spite of the fact that the Feds themselves grant the permits. That led us to wonder who appointed the judge and, lo and behold, it was none other than Ronald Reagan. Yup, yet another example of activist right-wing judicial decisionmaking.

Human Trafficking - A Global Problem [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
June 14, 2010Today, the State Department released its tenth annual report on Human Trafficking (sex workers, child soldiers, forced labor) and the numbers are staggering - over 12 million people worldwide are victims. The worst offenders are North Korea, Myanmar, Cuba and Zimbabwe, who make no effort at all to combat the phenomenon. The U.S. isn’t off the hook either - it’s both a source and destination for human trafficking.

Assault Weapon Victims South of the Border [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
May 21, 2010File this under horrific unforseen consequences - Congress’ failure to extend the Assault Weapons Ban is resulting in the deaths of Mexicans as their drug war continues to escalate. Of course, you won’t get Republicans or even many Democrats to go to bat for the revival of this bill.

April 21, 2010Yesterday, we premiered our new podcast “Trust,” where we talk about how Americans no longer trust Wall Street and government. A big part of this is the misconception of the TARP program and its uses, which were expanded from just rescuing banks to GM and Chrysler. Of course, fact is TARP worked and it was not the financial sinkhole critics make it out to be.

15 Years Later, McVeigh and Oklahoma City [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
April 19, 201015 years ago today, Timothy McVeigh blew up the Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Strangely, in an age of ever-growing hatred from the far right, I don’t recall much being said about this heinous terrorist today. Nothing except a speech from Pres. Clinton about the dangers of hate. How is it we commemorate 9/11 as if it were the end times but don’t do the same on this date? Is it because this bomber was white and believed, wrongly, that the Feds were evil incarnate? Whatever the reason, it’s shameful and inexcusable.

Repubs Eat Their Own [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
March 25, 2010Today’s victim - David Frum, sent to the woodshed for actually criticizing Republican policies and calling the failure to stop health care Waterloo. No sympathy here for Mr. Frum but if Repubs don’t open themselves up to criticism, there is no hope for that party.

Bayh Speaks, or rather, Blathers [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
February 21, 2010How sick are we of Evan Bayh? Don’t even get me started. The guy blames partisanship for the problems in DC and as a moderate does exactly nothing to fix it. Instead, he’s joined the blame DC crowd. His latest shot at Congress is a doozy.

Bye Bye Bayh [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
February 15, 2010Indiana Senator Evan Bayh used to be mentioned as a future President or VP. Today, he’s the party’s biggest cry baby and a soon-to-be ex-Senator. In the meantime, he has basically given away a fairly safe seat and made it nearly impossible to hold a party primary. Talk about your class A assholes.

Hospitals are Big Losers in the Health Care Debacle [ by Michael T] [News You Can Abuse]
February 10, 2010The criminally mismanaged health care effort is soon going to have a majory casualty - the hospitals. Many are struggling to survive as the uninsured flood ERs and then never pay for their care. The cost to hospitals is in the billions and, in the end, we all pay for it.
