ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

pumpkinALL HALLOW'S EVE pumpkin Samhain - the origin of Halloween This is the beginning of the Celtic and Wiccan New Year. Samhain is Irish-Gaelic for 'the Summer's end', and is pronounced 'sow-in'. Samhain represented the death of the summer sun god, Lugh. This festival celebrates Nature's cycle of death and renewal, a time when the Celts acknowledged the beginning and ending of all things in life and nature. Samhain marked the end of harvest and the beginning of the New Celtic Year. The first month of the Celtic year was Samonios - ‘Seed Fall’. Two Roman festivals became incorporated with Samhain - 'Feralia', when the Romans commemorated the passing of the dead, and 'Pomona', when the Roman goddess of fruit and trees was honoured. The Halloween tradition of bobbing for apples is thought to derive from the ancient links with the Roman fruit goddess, Pomona, and a Druidical rite associated with water. Samhain heralds the beginning of Winter when the world starts to darken and the days are getting shorter - the 'dark half' of the year and the demise of the power of the sun...It is believed that the borders between the world of the living and the dead is thinner on this night - also known as 'Ancestor night' - so souls of the dead can enter the land of the living. Spirits roam free to revisit their earthly homes. The Celts looked to their ancestors to bring them guidance for the coming year and hoped to commune with the spirits at Samhain. Samhain is considered a celebration of life over death, and a time to remember those who have left the world of the living. Candles would be lit at the graves of loved ones... Halloween originates from the ancient Celts' celebrations and is based on their 'Feast of Samhain'. The Catholic church attempted to replace the Pagan festival with All Saints' or All Hallows' day, followed by All Souls' Day, on November 2nd. The eve became known as: All Saints' Eve, All Hallows' Eve, or Hallowe'en. All Saints' Day is said to be the day when souls walked the Earth. In early Christian tradition souls were released from purgatory on All Hallow's Eve for 48 hours. In order to protect themselves from any roaming evil spirits the Celts would appease them by offering them treats. The custom of wearing costumes on Halloween is thought to derive from the Celts disguising themselves at Samhain, so the spirits would think that they belonged to their own company. They could then communicate with the spirit world, known as 'souling'. pumpkin That said here are the REALLY SCARY STORIES from the past week! Enter any of these AT YOUR OWN RISK.

However, poet Phil Rockstroh sees something more fundamental – and even scarier – the death throes of an empire: Because, at this time of the year, we take pleasure in being frightened, let's shuffle through the U.S. Empire's House of Horrors... Bob Parry @ consortiumnews.com. What could be scarier than those stories? Yes, the Sunday "Scaries"!

Bobby Kennedy goes one-on-one with JEFF SHARLETT about "C-Street" while Scott Horton talks with MATTHEW ROTHSCHILD of The Progressive about possible violations of Posse Comitatus. There's something for everyone! The Brick TeeVee Crew is pulling for the SF Giants who last won the WS in the 1954 sweep against the Indians (including Willie Mays' fantastic catch). Of course the other two clubs with the longest WS draught are The Tribe (1948) and The Cubs (1908) while this is the Rangers' first trip to the Fall Classic in their 49-year history (previously the Washington Senators). Have a safe and enjoyable All Hallow's Eve!

Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
SPILL BABY SPILL
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

  • This Week (ABC) with Christiane Amanpour
    Fact Checking ABC's "This Week" at NPR "On the Media" - Jake Tapper, interim host of ABC's "This Week," liked the idea of fact-checking his guests' comments, so he set up a partnership with Politifact, a non-partisan fact-checking organization.

  • Meet the Press (NBC) Host David Gregory
    Meet the Facts at NPR "On the Media" - Last December, NYU professor Jay Rosen proposed something simple yet revolutionary: why don't the Sunday morning chat shows fact check their guests?

    A perfect example of how a gold standard would retard banking fraud by maxkeiser Vietnam stops banks using gold deposits to fund loans @ Reuters. MK: With gold, accurate accounting is possible and those wishing not to get ripped off have a voice. Without gold, accurate accounting is impossible and those wishing not to get ripped off are left arguing the relative merits of economic dictatorships (austerity) versus ponzi schemes (stimulus).
    Comex manipulation critics are needlessly failing to make their case by maxkeiser The premise that you cannot prove price manipulation – as indicated in this video – is false. The question you have to ask yourself is, what came first the price or the price discovery?
    Guest Post: The Tipping Point has Arrived by Michael Krieger I believe we have finally breached the tipping point in the socio-political landscape of the United States of America. There will be no going back from here. Everyone on all levels of society including the elites must make a choice. Will you stand for real reform and an end of the feudalistic rule of the oligarchs and their paid-off puppets that line the streets of Washington D.C., or will you keep your mouth shut and play the old and dying game in the context of a completely different cultural environment? While many will disagree with what I am about to say, I believe the oligarchs and the Federal Reserve have already lost. This will not be clear to the vast majority at this time because the powerful institutions that dominate and rob us will continue to fight for survival but the wind is already blowing in a different direction and cannot be reversed. The smart elites are starting to see this and are hedging their bets....
    Global Capital: Alternative Perspective on the 20th and 21st Centuries by Damon Vrabelr Debunking Money #4 and #5: In an attempt to layout the way the world really works rather than believing the false notion that 40-something fresh Ivy League grads serving as politicians have the power, these lessons further the Debunking Money narrative that debt-based hierarchical money = financial leverage = true power. Lesson 4 revisits the 20th century past to reconsider where we’ve been, and lesson 5 peers into the 21st century future for a clearer perspective on where we’re headed. Huxley would like what he sees.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

FRAUDCLOSURE & ALPHABET CITY! If last week's missive didn't get your attention then we ask What do HUD, MBA, FBI, FASB, PCA, TARP, BofA, FDIC, FHFA, SEC and CEO all have in common? We turn to L. Randall Wray & William K. Black @ HuffPo Foreclose on the Foreclosure Fraudsters, Part 1: Put Bank of America in Receivership "The inflated asset values allow the Fed and the administration to ignore the Fed's massive loss exposure and allow Treasury to spread propaganda claiming that TARP resolved all the problems -- at virtually no cost. Donovan claims that we have held the elite frauds accountable -- but we have done the opposite. We have made the CEOs of the largest financial firms -- typically already among the 500 wealthiest Americans -- even wealthier. We have rewarded fraud, incompetence, and venality by our most powerful elites. If the government does not hold the fraudulent CEOs responsible, who is supposed to stop the epidemic of elite financial fraud? The Obama administration's answer is the fraudulent CEOs themselves, at a time of their choosing. You can't make this stuff up....The key facts are that there was massive fraud by nonprime lenders and packagers of fraudulent nonprime loans at the direction of their controlling officers. By "massive" we mean that lenders made millions of fraudulent loans annually and that packagers turned most of these fraudulent loans into fraudulent securities. These fraudulent loans and securities made the senior officers (and corrupted professionals that blessed their frauds) rich, hyper-inflated the bubble, devastated millions of working class borrowers and middle class home owners, and contributed significantly to the Great Recession -- by far the worst economic collapse since the 1930s....Foreclosure fraud is the only thing standing between the banks and Armageddon. " (h/t ljm). Do read all of this essay to get the complete astounding picture. You also should take in Special Report: The Haves, the Have-Nots and the Dreamless Dead by Reuters' Emily Kaiser @ Common Dreams for what's happening "on the ground" in the U.S. Then across the pond the people aren't taking it so casually with France in turmoil as nationwide strike over pension reform stretches on (WaPo). Speaking of "on the ground" as promised WikiLeaks releases trove of Iraq documents @ Raw Story: At 4:47 EST, however, the site noted that Al Jazeera had broken the embargo on the documents by 30 minutes and that all other news sources were being released from the embargo as a result. So far, BBC, the Guardian, the New York Times, and Der Spiegel have English-language reports on various aspects of the release. There is also more detailed analysis at iraqwarlogs.com. According to Der Spiegel, the release consists of "391,832 field reports from US soldiers from a Pentagon database. ... They show the everyday aspects of the campaign as US soldiers experienced it. The thousands of threat analyses, attack reports and arrest records allow a very precise reconstruction of the escalation of the sectarian battle between the Shiites and Sunnis, how it brutalized Iraqi society and how kidnappings, executions and the torture of prisoners became routine practices. The reports also provide some evidence that neighboring countries including Syria and Iran were involved in the war." More Raw Story Kucinich on WikiLeaks: ‘American people have a right to know’: "We need a true accounting of the war in Iraq. The American people have a right to know how many innocent civilians were killed in a war based on lies. We must remember that the Iraqi people are still grieving over the loss of husbands, wives, sons and daughters who were innocent noncombatants," Kucinich stated. "We have a moral responsibility to acknowledge the massive loss to the people of Iraq and the world. ... The suffering of the Iraqi people is unfathomable." From Guardian UK Iraq war logs: secret files show how US ignored torture. The analysis of this doc dump is just starting so tune in next week. We find it most disturbing that members of The Pentagon can elicit that wikileaks has "blood on their hands" while they themselves are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths ("collateral damage" The Empire calls it) even from computer screens guiding drones from their own U.S. bunkers far away from the "battlefield". Oh, that's right. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and the nation's senior military officer have spoken of "a global struggle against violent extremism" rather than "the global war on terror," From GWOT to GSAVE in just a couple weeks.(Weekly Standard August 8, 2005 issue!). So the entire globe is the battlefield, RIGHT? Meanwhile the Sunday Professional Right has other stories to bother you with. For instance see FORMER Head Honcho Joint Chiefs GENERAL HUGH SHELTON and brick target ED GILLESIPI on This Anampour while Face the Bob gets known troll KARL "TURDBLOSSOM" ROVE and DCCC's CHRIS VAN HOLLEN. Meet the David scores an "exclusive! oooo aaahhh" with RNC's MICHAEL STEEL. At least RACHEL MADDOW is on the panel. Best bet might be the 9 am et State of Candy with the Florida trio of GUVNOR CHARLIE CRIST, Dem KENDRICK MEEK & Teabagger MARCO RUBIO! Haha! This should be good! Save THE REST of yer bricks for faux-Dem Friend-Of-Coal (FOCCER) JOE MANCHIN on Fake Snooze Sunday. Notice they didn't invite Mountain Party Candidate JESSE JOHNSON FOR U.S. SENATE. Then after football check out 60 Minutes "THE 99ERS".

RALLY TO RESTORE SANITY OCTOBER 30th 2010 WASHINGTON D.C.
We're looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it's appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles. Are you one of those people? Excellent. Then we'd like you to join us in Washington, DC on October 30 -- a date of no significance whatsoever -- at the Daily Show's "Rally to Restore Sanity." Ours is a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) -- not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority. If we had to sum up the political view of our participants in a single sentence... we couldn't. That's sort of the point. Get involved HERE!!!
Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
SPILL BABY SPILL
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

    • TOP GEAR - A quirky British television show about cars has become a hit almost everywhere but the U.S. Steve Kroft reports on "Top Gear," whose witty humor, outrageous speed, destructive vehicle stunts and car reviews attract an estimated weekly worldwide audience of 350 million according to the BBC. Graham Messick and Michael Karzis are the producers.

  • Meet the Press (NBC) Host David Gregory
    Meet the Facts at NPR "On the Media" - Last December, NYU professor Jay Rosen proposed something simple yet revolutionary: why don't the Sunday morning chat shows fact check their guests?

    • RNC Chairman Michael Steele

    This Week on Ring of Fire! October 22th, 2010
    • This week on Ring of Fire Radio, author and co-founder of Progressive Strategies, LLC Mike Lux will be here to tell us how Wall Street is once again raking in huge profits by swindling America’s poor and middle class families.
    • Professor Paul Froese, co-author of America’s Four Gods: What We Say About God – And What That Says About Us, enters the Ring to explain how our view of God also determines what we think about politics, economics, war, natural disasters and even love.

    • VIDEO! US Chamber Attacks Middle Class Americans The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently announced plans to pour more than $75 million dollars into political campaigns this year, on top of the $133 million dollars they’ve already spent on lobbying this year. And if you think that they’re doing this to help small businesses and consumers, you’d better think again. The Chamber has a very specific agenda that only benefits major corporations, and Mike Papantonio discusses that agenda with Christ Setzer, Communications Director for US Chamber Watch
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Tell Teabaggers to go to Hell at the Polls It appears that the Tea Party is getting desperate. They know that they will never attract minority voters, so they’ve come up with a new plan – They are simply going to prevent those folks from making it to the voting booth. Mike Papantonio appears on MSNBC’s The Ed Show to discuss the GOP/Tea Party’s efforts at “voter caging” in the 2010 midterm election

    Guest Post: Gold Will Explode Higher as the U.S. Dollar Bubble Bursts by Michael Krieger I haven’t taken the time to write about gold in length as of late because quite frankly there is so much quality stuff being written about it at this point. In addition, the understanding of the monetary system and the dangers of fiat money in general is so much better than it was even a year ago. Nevertheless, while the understanding is considerably better it remains poor. While it has become a bit clichĂ©, the statement that “gold is not going up but the dollar is going down” is the most important concept for every investor and indeed citizen to understand at this point. Completely wrapping one’s head around this concept may very well be the difference between economic survival and complete destruction in the years ahead. For when you truly comprehend this notion you stop thinking about gold in terms of its price and you can then make a rational decision about where it is going.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

WET INK The UK Daily Mail says it best in this headline Greedier than ever: Wall Street bankers to pocket record-breaking $91 BILLION just two years on from financial crisis! But the Gray Lady trumps that in Is Wall Street on Track for Record Pay? Total Wall Street compensation is on pace to reach $144 billion (!) for 2010, a record for the second consecutive year, a study by The Wall Street Journal finds. And compensation appears to be rising faster than bank revenue. How is this? Maybe fraud? CBS reports ALL 50 States Launch Joint Probe into Foreclosures. Perhaps Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray may have said it best: “What we have seen are not mere technicalities. This is about the private property rights of homeowners facing foreclosure and the integrity of our court system, which cannot enter judgments based on fraudulent evidence.” Yves Smith at nakedcapitalism is not so kind. The Wheels Are Coming Off in MBS Land: All 50 State AGs Join Probe; Banks Abandoning MERS Foreclosures : The trigger may have been the publication of a simply devastating analysis at the end of September, “Two Faces: Demystifying the Mortgage Electronic Registration System’s Land Title Theory” by Christopher L. Peterson. Even though I have read the critical MERS unfavorable opinions, this is the first time I am aware of that someone has looked at the operation of MERS from a broader legal perspective. It finds fundamental flaws in virtually every aspect of its operation. CNBC's Diana Olick points out in Foreclosure Fraud: It's Worse Than You Think The issue is in that final stage getting to the trust. The law demands that when the papers get moved around they are "wet ink" that is, real signatures on real paper. But Prof. Levin tells me that's not the worst of it. Affidavits assigned to the notes and security instruments are supposed to be endorsed over to the trust at the time of sale, but in many foreclosure scenarios the affidavits have been backdated illegally. Then Tyler Durden @ ZeroHedge outlines Quantifying The Full Impact Of Foreclosure Gate: Hundreds Of Billions To Start: As people finally realize that there is no getting away from a self-imposed (or sent from above) foreclosure moratorium reality, the next question is the quantification of what the hit to banks will be. As bank stock shares are demonstrating today, it will be substantial and is already starting to be priced in. According to FBR's Paul Miller, as cited by Bloomberg, "faulty foreclosures may cost U.S. lenders $2 billion for every month that home seizures are delayed and the tab could reach $6 billion... Investigations of how banks are seizing homes may prolong foreclosures by as much as three months, at a rough cost of $1,000 per month for each property in the pipeline. The biggest firms likely need to add staff to comb through the files, costing them each $1 million a year." This is a very a modest estimate. More importantly, a separate study by SNL Financial has determined that the total amount of residential (not commercial) mortgages in foreclosure between directly serviced, and those serviced for others, for the big three banks alone (JPM, WFC, BAC) is nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars! George Washington @ ZeroHedge itemizes in "At the Root of the Crisis We Find the Largest Financial Swindle in World History", Where "Counterfeit" Mortgages Were "Laundered" by the Banks : Indeed, the government is closing ranks with the banks. And instead of fixing the underlying problem, the government is still trying to prop up the whole rotten, falling down mess. THIS JUST IN from Richard Smith @ nakedcapitalism (h/t maddy) Not to be outdone, FDIC joins the robo-signing club, too "That’s right – while IndyMac was under FDIC “control”, bank officers were robo-signing affidavits...Do go and read the whole thing; it’s good for a hollow laugh or two, if your sense of humour runs that way." If you think any of it is getting better Michael Hudson at AlterNet explains Why the U.S. Has Launched a New Financial World War -- and How the Rest of the World Will Fight Back where you can learn all about the U.S.'s Quantitative Easing (QE) program and how we are all being f*%&ked by the IMF! On the other side of the coin RealEstateChannel reports Home Foreclosures Up 4% in Q3 as Banks Step Up Repossessions "RealtyTrac today released its U.S. Foreclosure Market Report for the third quarter of 2010, which shows that foreclosure filings -- default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions -- were reported on 930,437 properties in the third quarter, a nearly 4 percent increase from the previous quarter but a 1 percent decrease from the third quarter of 2009" which works out to about FOUR MILLION in the past year alone! And from ZeroHedge Unemployment Rate Ticks Up To 10.1% According To Gallup Then read all TEN parts of Slate's "The Great Divergence 2010: What's causing America's growing income inequality?" including Timothy's Noah's Part 6 The Great Divergence and the Death of Organized Labor (h/t Double D). Finally, Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman sums it all up in The Mortgage Morass: Now an awful truth is becoming apparent: In many cases, the documentation doesn’t exist. In the frenzy of the bubble, much home lending was undertaken by fly-by-night companies trying to generate as much volume as possible. These loans were sold off to mortgage “trusts,” which, in turn, sliced and diced them into mortgage-backed securities. The trusts were legally required to obtain and hold the mortgage notes that specified the borrowers’ obligations. But it’s now apparent that such niceties were frequently neglected. And this means that many of the foreclosures now taking place are, in fact, illegal. This is very, very bad. Krugman says it's ILLEGAL! Don't look to the Sunday Funnies for much coverage on these issues as they are focused on election politics, now that Congress has recessed to campaign. Take This Anampour who will cover the gripping topic "Woman's Nation Takes on Alzheimer's" and the Delaware Senate race. Face the Bob gets HOWARD DEAN and solid brick targets LINDSEY GRAHAM and LIZ CHENEY while Meet the David covers the Colorado Senate race and WH Press Sec BOB "hypocritical transparency crusader" GIBBS. State of the Candy talks with WH Senior Adviser DAVID AXELROD and after football see 60 Minutes about homeless veterans. Check our regulars including PBC with BradBlog's BRAD FRIEDMAN, Ring of Fire with JEFF SHARLETT, plus Max's take on a new-yet-unreleased wikileaks bombshell. And don't miss Reverend Billy from the Church of Life After Shopping on GRITtv talking about Appalachia Rising and Prayer Meetin' Wednesday on the Horn with Reverend Bob Kincaid! Can we get an Amen? The Brick TeeVee Crew is still buzzing over the trip to Strawberry Fields last weekend! We even met the Mayor of Strawberry Fields (who we were told is hired by Yoko). So many people came all day, people playing guitars and everybody singing Lennon and Beatles tunes, in harmony and knowing all the words too! You can view a few pics HERE. Also, our crop of tomatoes is so huge we are making Pickled Green Tomatoes with what's left on the vine! Looks like at least eight quarts worth! Then the rest of the red tomatoes are going into salsa with the hot peppers we grew. Have a great week!

We're looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it's appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles. Are you one of those people? Excellent. Then we'd like you to join us in Washington, DC on October 30 -- a date of no significance whatsoever -- at the Daily Show's "Rally to Restore Sanity." Ours is a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) -- not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority. If we had to sum up the political view of our participants in a single sentence... we couldn't. That's sort of the point. Get involved HERE!!!
Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
SPILL BABY SPILL
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

Considering Democracy: 8 Things to ask your Representative

  • This Week (ABC) with Christiane Amanpour
    Fact Checking ABC's "This Week" at NPR "On the Media" - Jake Tapper, interim host of ABC's "This Week," liked the idea of fact-checking his guests' comments, so he set up a partnership with Politifact, a non-partisan fact-checking organization. Tapper explains that as a host, you can only do so much fact-checking during the interview.

    • MARKET STREET - Morley Safer reports on a mystery that was solved about a 100-year-old film that we now know was made on San Francisco's Market Street just days before the 1906 earthquake. David Browning is the producer.

  • Meet the Press (NBC) Host David Gregory
    Meet the Facts at NPR "On the Media" - Last December, NYU professor Jay Rosen proposed something simple yet revolutionary: why don't the Sunday morning chat shows fact check their guests? After "Meet the Press" host David Gregory declined, two college students launched a website to do it for him. One of them, Chas Danner, explains what they're trying to accomplish.

    • VIDEO! Papantonio: US Chamber Hates Small BusinessesPresident Obama is going after the US Chamber of Commerce for using foreign money to influence campaigns in America. This has prompted the right wing to accuse the president of being anti-business. But as Mike Papantonio points out on CNBC’s The Call, the Chamber is the one who is anti-business.
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: What a Tea Party America Will Look Like Sharron Angle had her first debate with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid this week, and the Tea Party candidate told the Senator to “man up.” In her mind, that must mean he should “man up” and dismantle the Department of Education, pull the US out of the UN, and allow corporations to privatize everything in America. That’s the Tea Party’s vision of America, and Mike Papantonio appears on Ed Schultz’s MSNBC show to tell us what the Tea Party’s America will look like.
