- Report/Mark as SpamThis is just shameful. As a Jew (if not a particularly practicing one), watching how the American-Israel lobby gives a horrible name to Israel (and Jews for that matter), becomes more embarrassing every day. And since Republicans have decided to make believe that Obama is "vulnerable on Israel" --- they will say anything for perceived political gain, no matter whether its actually true or not --- I suspect this sort of...Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-19 00:26:44 GMT

- Report/Mark as SpamWhile campaigning in favor of Issue 2 in Ohio (the referendum forced onto the ballot by voters in an attempt to veto the GOP bill that strips public unions of many collective bargaining rights), hilarious former Arkansas Governor and 2008 Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee encouraged supporters to suppress the votes of opponents... "Make a list… Call them and ask them, 'Are you going to vote on Issue 2 and are you...Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-18 01:42:01 GMT
- Report/Mark as SpamRemember WI's 45-year old Republican state Sen. Randy Hopper? The one whose own wife revealed, during signature gathering for his recall election earlier this year, that he was no longer even living in his own district after he'd split to move in with a 25-year old Republican aide? Last August, Hopper lost his seat during those Badger State recall elections. Last night, he was spotted driving "all over the road" --- with the...Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-17 19:44:13 GMT
- Report/Mark as SpamPoor Rupert. He had trouble getting out much of his speech in San Francisco on the need to privatize use more private technology in our public education system... Oh, well. That's hardly the worst thing that could happen this week to poor Rupert.Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-17 19:09:14 GMT
- Report/Mark as SpamGuest blogged by Ernest A. Canning As is reflected in the 1912 photo taken in Cincinnati, OH, at right plug-in Electric Vehicle (EV) technology has been with us for a very long time. Underscored in the 2006 documentary, Who Killed the Electric Car? (see video trailer below), the principle obstacles to the development of practical and affordable Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs, as opposed to PHEVs, or Plug-in Electric Vehicles) have been political andSource: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-17 02:09:39 GMT
- Report/Mark as SpamI'm still largely off the grid for another day or so (as I have been for the last 24 hours+), but delighted to check in to see so much great conversation on D.C. Douglas' #OccupyWallStreet video we posted in the previous item. Also delighted to check in to see that the worldwide #OWS movement is today's top story across all the major corporate media outlets! Incredibly, I'm here in Las Vegas (for...Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-15 19:55:11 GMT
- Report/Mark as SpamAn awesome video from D.C. Douglas. Could well become an anthem for the movement... The video is brilliant. Please crank up your speakers and watch it. You won't be sorry. But just to highlight the four items Douglas, no enemy of capitalism, calls for changing --- each of which would make very worthy demands for Occupy Wall Street and the 99% Movement, should they decide to create specific ones... Reinstate Glass-Steagall: Restore the...Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-13 21:05:06 GMT
- Report/Mark as SpamGuest blogged by Ernest A. Canning Contrary to the Republican Party's recently launched, all-out War on the EPA, the 40-year old Environmental Protection Agency, founded during the Richard Nixon Administration with strong bi-partisan support, is a job creator, according to a newly released report by the Majority Staff of the U.S.Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-13 14:35:14 GMT
- Report/Mark as SpamMissed this late last week, but it's still well-worth flagging here...particularly for all of the pretend "conservatives" who visit this blog. Here's UK Prime Minister David Cameron speaking at last week's annual Conservative Party conference in Manchester [hat-tip Towleroad]... "I once stood before a Conservative conference and said it shouldn't matter whether commitment was between a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, or a man and another man....Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-12 18:53:34 GMT
- Report/Mark as SpamGuest editorial by Ernest A. Canning While both phenomena --- Occupy Wall Street and the "Tea Party" --- have emerged at a time of acute economic distress and a sense of alienation, disenchantment and betrayal brought on by an increasingly authoritarian corporate capitalism, they are as different as night is to day. Occupy Wall Street is a genuine, organic, knowledge-driven democratic uprising....Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-12 14:05:03 GMT

IN TODAY'S RADIO REPORT: Occupy Wall Street movement pushes back against dirty fossil fuel corporations; World's newest oil spill, now in New Zealand!; Keystone XL pipeline bombshell --- pipeline company's buddies help Obama/Clinton State Dept. approve the pipeline, but no complaints from Republicans; Million-dollar Solyndra bankruptcy gets more coverage than Billion-dollar Iraq war contracting corruption; PLUS: Rightwing freakout over peaceful Occupier protests challenging corporate greed ......Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-11 21:19:32 GMT
- Report/Mark as SpamOf course, unscientific online polls don't mean much of anything, right? Still, this one is both interesting and/or amusing, given where it is and what the question was. Our guess is that these results won't be getting much air time on Fox "News"...Source: The BRAD BLOGPublished: 2011-10-11 14:05:39 GMT
