Shamefully, I rarely take advantage of the University. And my Cancer Center is there. » Posted By bito On December 3, 2009 @ 8:24 am Khirad, I was reminded of it from the BBC-overnight broadcast. Not only was it terrible then, the effects are still on going daily. » Posted By bito On December 3, 2009 @ 8:12 am j’avaz, The university in Tucson,UA, has a well known dept. on climatology. The professor, Malcolm Hughes, received a letter from Sen. Inhofe (R-OK) to not destroy any emails that pertain to his studies on climate change. Bet he is not the only one that got such a warning. G’morn, Girl » Posted By bito On December 3, 2009 @ 8:02 am Do you remember Dec. 3, 1984? A shameful day that is still on going. If you are so moved there are plenty of sites detailing this disaster. » Posted By bito On December 3, 2009 @ 7:49 am Let’s see some news on this story. Like this line from it: tax commissioners claim that an elaborate series of legal manoeuvres, dubbed “flip and spin” by News Corp, wrongly deprived authorities in Australia, Britain and the US of billions of dollars in capital gains tax. And how much noise did Faux make on “not paying taxes on time” when it came to Obama’s staff? » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 7:02 pm o/t Joke on KO.

There is plenty of money on Wall Street without dipping in to the safety net. » Posted By bito On December 3, 2009 @ 3:48 pm According to the study cited above. In order to pay for a Jobs Bill, a transaction tax would be imposed on stock transactions at a rate of 0.5%. How much money would that bring in to pay for Jobs? » Posted By bito On December 3, 2009 @ 11:51 am This is an interesting link from the Economic Policy Institute: » Posted By bito On December 3, 2009 @ 11:08 am Patsy, I watched this twice.

I pulled down a flow chart of the power structure of Iran last week and an explanation of it. It is quite intertwined and I am not sure if it holds from day to day. Seems to be a lot of jockeying for positions and power. I will echo some of javaz questions. Is there a light still burning for a less oppressive government or has it been completely oppressed? Is there much “news” allowed any longer to outside the county and in the country? » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 5:46 pm 30,000 Reasons to Leave Afghanistan What would he say, “well, I’m not a complete idiot. I can tie my own shoes! » Posted By bito On December 8, 2009 @ 12:30 pm J’avaz, I looked at that and some of the report. Here is what has me confused: If we just leave how badly will the women be treated by the Taliban?

The explosion at Bhopal, India of the Union Carbide chemical plant. How many died? the government says 15,000, the locals say 35,000 and counting. Two things that stick out after 25 years. 1. The ground water has never been cleaned up. People still use this water and are having many complications. As one Doctor said last night (on BBC) ” It (the poison) is now in their genes causing multiple birth defects”
2. This case is STILL in the courts, and no one has been convicted or fined. Just sad.
Here is one site you may look at for some info: http://www.bhopal.org/whathappened.html

I thought they should have passed this tax to pay for single payer. Now, there’s talk of passing it to pay for a jobs bill. Doesn;t hurt me. What’s a 1/2 penny a stock trade to the middle class?
won’t hurt any of my stock transactions. 🙂
“A financial transactions tax could raise considerably more than these estimates

This is a plan to add 4.6 million jobs in one year. It actually lays out a plan, it’s not just a bitch session on unemployment.
it is called American Jobs Plan. Worth a look.

This is not a left/right issue. It is a have/have not issue.
Justice Sotomayor brought it up in her first case, but I don’t see it gong anywhere.
This is the transcript of the SCOTUS hearing. (pg. 33)

I just don’t know who are the good guys (and are they silenced) and the really bad guys are any more. Thank You again.
He thinks we should arm militias in Afghanistan. Is that not where the taliban got their start when the US armed them against the Soviets?
