"Marcotte,
Thanks. The 10:10 people have since tried to distance themselves from the video. Maybe the Guardian updated its story and has a new URL for the update. ..."

"(FYI, the link in your comment leads me to Guardians 404 page.)
That's a pretty scary short. If I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, then I'd say that the message is that not cutting emissions is suicide, but that metaphor…"

"And there's more. Richard Curtis, director of Love Actually, directed this clip, which was supposed to be shown at movie theaters (or theatres) to make its points. And the head of the 10:10 group actually thinks it's funny. Yes, it would…"

Rick Henderson commented on Paul Chesser's blog post The Plane from Maine Causes Congresswoman Pain
"Let's see how the congresswoman and her S.O. respond. If his plane was merely shadowing her on those dates, then an apology would be in order. If we don't get a response, then the silence will be noisy indeed."

"Marcotte,
Whether Pingree violated campaign finance rules is less important than her sanctimony about the abuse of corporate perks by others. Something about people living in glass houses."

"Marcotte,
I'm absolutely open to letting Japan provide for its own defense. And I'd be happy to largely get away from Korea if the Norks would become sane. I'm also not really sure why we have such a large permanent presence in…"

"Joel, I may have to read one or both. I'm hardly a neocon (during the '80s, I was rather fond of the Reagan Doctrine -- arm the locals so we don't have to fight the bad guys on our soil), but for one thing, if you believe that free…"

"Besides, military spending as a percentage of the federal budget peaked in the mid-1950s and has been dropping ever since."

"The thread has gotten away from the point of Phillip's original post, and that is a call for an isolationist America.
Do you truly believe that America should not have entered World War II? (The European Theater, anyway.) I'm delighted…"

"The "professional left" has exorcised the vast majority of what used to be called the New Democrats from the party. This election may well get rid of the rest of them."

"Marcotte,
The Tea Parties discombobulate the Republican establishment, which is not the same as the conservative establishment (to the degree that there is one). Because the Democratic/liberal establishment (which are indistinguishable) has no…"

"Marcotte,
You are correct that only a few dozen of the several hundred schools that field football teams make a lot of money. By my estimation, most of those programs that aren't profitable also don't travel far, or often, so they spend a…"

"Marcotte, you and I agree!
The revenues provided by football (and basketball, in many cases) generate profits that are distributed to subsidize the nonrevenue sports ... namely, everything but football and basketball. The alternative to having…"

Don't blame tax cuts for rising inequality
(Cross-posted at the Locker Room):
At the Truth on the Market blog, Todd Henderson of the University of Chicago Law School (no relation) looks at data published recently on Slate.com showing rising income inequality.
While ducking the debate over whether such stratification is a good or bad thing, Henderson notes that… Continue

Whose income is it, anyway?
Cribbing from Red State, here was Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., on the Senate floor yesterday, referring to those Republicans (and Democrats, I presume) who supported the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003:
Discuss.
Those who cried the loudest on the floor of the Senate these days -- right now -- are the very ones that voted to reduce this country's income with the biggest benefits going to the wealthiest Americans.
Discuss.

I found out today that Cooper got accepted to the music dept at Ft Lewis, and will get some sort of scholarship. Yay! I'll go out there probably around 7/1 to help him drive back here. Woohoo. Driving across the heartland in the summer--fun. Oh well, a little mom and son bonding time. I talked to Bryan S. for a while the other night. GOod to talk to him and catch up. Hi to Cara also!

- Hey, Rick. Get a cool looking photo up there, if it's possible for you to have a cool photo.
Also, if you're itching to blog about something — perhaps something you'd like to put on Infinite Monkeys, but can't — you can put it on here. I'm curious as to how it works for people outside the Heartland family.
