I DON'T GET IT

The White House correctly states that FAUX News is mostly partisan garbage and the Villagers react as if FAUX were a real news organization. More here and here.

THE GOP PUSHES BACK AGAINST POLITICO

Politico ran an article yesterday ("Conservatives roar; Republicans tremble") that argued that Limbaugh, Beck and the Baggers are scaring the GOP establishment because they are too far away from the mainstream. Today, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind) tried to push back by asserting that Beck and Limbaugh really are mainstream:

“So to my friends in the so-called ‘mainstream media’ I say, ‘conservative talk show hosts may not speak for everybody but they speak for more Americans than you do.’”

BTW, Pence also lied about the 9-12 DC protest by claiming that almost a million people showed up.

THE AP GOES STOOPID

Without the benefit of doing any polling, I think Americans overhwelming agree with limiting pay to the banksters who got us into this mess. From the comments on this Yahoo News thread, it looks like I'm correct. Note that not one person interviewed by the AP thought the limit was a good idea.

Meriwether setting up new hedge fund

Financial Times

John Meriwether, the hedge fund manager and arbitrageur behind Long-Term Capital Management, is in the process of setting up a new hedge fund – his third.

The move comes barely three months after Mr Meriwether decided to close his second fund manager, JWM Partners, which was wound down after clients saw the value of their investments fall by more than 44 per cent over the course of the financial crisis.

NY-23 IS GETTING TO BE FUN!

There is a special House election this November for the 23rd District in New York State and there are three candidates: a Democrat, a Republican (Dede Scozzafava) and a Conservative (Doug Hoffman). The Republican is pro-choice, pro-stimulus bill and pro-card check, so the movement conservatives are backing the Conservative and that includes Glenn Beck.

The movement cons are also upset that Newt Gingrich has endorsed the GOP candidate. Mark Levin noted that tonight but he didn't have the nerve to call Gingrich a RINO. In addition to Newt, GOP Congressman Thad McCotter (R-Mich) also endorsed her.

We're seeing a real fight between the movement cons and the (more or less) normal Republicans and I will enjoy the casualties.

Obama makes war on Americans who dare disagree with his radical agenda while palling around with terrorists and America's worst foreign enemies. Obama is an enemy of America, a domestic enemy, and at some point will suffer the consequences.

"THE REST OF THE STORY"

This POLITICO article notes that the WH is taking on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and neglects to note that several companies have left the Chamber because of its ostrich-like stance about global warming. Here's just one report about that...

Utilities split on climate legislation
Lobbying-group controversy highlights differences
Oct. 16, 2009, 1:48 p.m. EDT

By Steve Gelsi, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has a rebellion on its hands, led by a handful of utilities that have broken with the powerful lobbying group over its stiff opposition to the war on global warming.

Exelon (EXC 49.79, -1.17, -2.30%) , PG&E Corp. (PCG 42.48, -0.61, -1.42%) , PNM Resources (PNM 12.37, -0.13, -1.04%) , Apple (AAPL 198.76, +8.90, +4.69%) and even some coal-fired power companies such as AEP (AEP 31.27, -0.45, -1.42%) now find themselves at odds with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce by supporting current climate-change legislation.

CUTE LYING SACK OF SHIT*

*I think that's how Stephanie Miller once described her.

In a Politico article, Dana Perino makes another stupid comment:

“They won — why don’t they act like it?” said Dana Perino, former White House press secretary to Bush. “The more they fight, the more defensive they look. It’s only been 10 months, and they’re burning bridges in a lot of different places.”

There aren't any bridges to Wingnut World, Dana. The only way to get there is to take the brown acid.

"WORKING THE REFS"

In this Politico piece about the WH effort to get more people to realize just how bad FAUX News is, I found this passage:

Tom Rosenstiel, a former Los Angeles Times media critic who now runs the Project for Excellence in Journalism, said the Obama team’s explicit, public call for other outlets to ignore Fox was somewhat different from run-ins between past White Houses and specific news outlets. But he said that’s just an indication of a new media age.

“There was a time you could drop a polite line in a meeting in the Oval Office with White House reporters and ice a whole news organization. Not anymore,” Rosenstiel said. “You have to speak in blunt terms to consumers who are making the decision for themselves how much credence to give to things in different places.”

Still, Rosenstiel said no one should doubt that the White House’s critiques have a political agenda.

“You should beware of politicians playing press critic. There’s always an ulterior motive, even if they’re sincere,” he said. “They’re working the refs.”

To which I say: It's about damn time they worked the refs because the GOP has been doing that for decades. Here's just one report from 17 years ago:

Media to the Left! Media to the Right! The GOP, Shooting The Messengers;
[FINAL Edition]
Lloyd Grove. The Washington Post (pre-1997 Fulltext). Washington, D.C.: Aug 20, 1992. pg. c.01

"Some of it is frustration, no doubt about it," said Republican National Committee Chairman Rich Bond, "But there is some strategy to it," he went on. "I'm a coach of kids' basketball and Little League teams. If you watch any great coach, what they try to do is `work the refs' " - meaning the media. "Maybe the ref will cut you a little slack on the next one."

GOOD FOR GIBBS

Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck are the major sources of agit-prop on FAUX News and I'm glad to learn that WH Press Secretary Robert Gibbs singled them out for criticism and I'm also glad that his comments are getting reported in the press, e.g., ABC's Political Punch, Politico, Kansas City Star and the New York Times.

DARK MATTER, DARK ENERGY AND NOW...

Dark Pools. Reuters reports on these private, hidden stock trading operations that avoid the current reporting requirements. In other words, these trades go on in secret and who do you think profits?

There are more than 40 U.S. dark pools, the largest of which are run by banks such as Goldman Sachs. The anonymous trading venues account for an estimated 10 to 15 percent of U.S. equity volumes.

The stock market really seems to be an insiders' game and needs a drastic overhaul.

McCLATCHY COMES THROUGH AGAIN

Formerly Knight-Ridder, its reporters did an excellent job during the run-up to the Iraq War and later and now they are concentrating on how the ratings agencies were enablers of the creation of toxic assets. Unfortunately, the House committee doesn't seem to grasp that we need a major structural change on Wall Street.

Bill to tighten rules on ratings agencies has big loopholes
By Kevin G. Hall | McClatchy Newspapers
Posted on Tuesday, October 20, 2009

WASHINGTON — A key House of Representatives committee is set to vote soon on legislation that would overhaul financial regulation and produce greater transparency for investors, but as it's now written it fails to address many of the credit-rating agency missteps that helped fuel the global financial crisis.

Several sections of Kanjorski's bill discuss how to disclose information to the public about when an outside "third party" does due diligence on underlying mortgages or other loans that are being rated. However, the bill wouldn't require such independent due diligence, which was sorely missing during the boom in home prices.

The House legislation would direct ratings agencies to include at least two independent members on their boards of directors, and would mandate that compliance officers report to the boards. It wouldn't direct the Securities and Exchange Commission to work with the compliance officers, however, which could have helped regulators understand the looming sub-prime crisis in 2006 and 2007.

However, there's no explicit requirement to provide detailed cash flow and default assumptions in a ratings agency's model, an important part of what went wrong in the mortgage finance debacle.

WINGER RADIO ADS

I guess even the big boys are hurting for ad revenue. On KNST in Tucson, Glenn Beck has done an ad for a local plumbing company and it's not limited to being aired only on his show. Tonight on KFFN, the ESPN station, I heard the nasal tones of Mark Levin humping Goldline during a break in the ALCS.

WE'VE LOST JUAN WILLIAMS

I don't know if he was ever more than a FAUX News liberal, perhaps a little better than Pat Caddell, but now he's gone over the cliff.

THINK OF THE 2 OR 3 TOP PROBLEMS FACING AMERICA

If you are at all reality-based, none of your choices was "increasing use of marijuana." If you are a winger like Bill "Slots" Bennett, marijuana use is in your list. I'm a little surprised that Ed Morrissey thinks the decision to halt Federal prosecutions is a good idea.

A LITTLE FACT CHECKING

RNC Chairman Michael Steele accused Rep. Steny Hoyer of calling him a slave during an interview on Univision:

STEELE: No, no, look the reality of it is when I ran for the United States’ Senate and I was called an Uncle Tom by leading Democrats in the country, when I was called a slave by Steny Hoyer who is now the majority leader in the House no one came running to my defense and no one seemed to think that that was racists at the time.

This is a very serious allegation so I used LexisNexis to see what was reported back in 2006. I found 6 hits for "Michael Steele," "Steny Hoyer" and "slave" between 1/1/2006 and 11/20/2006.

The AP (4 stories) and UPI (1) both reported that Hoyer accused Steele of "slavishly" supporting the Republican Party and The Hotline has a longer version:"a career of slavishly supporting the Republican Party."

This is a poor word choice by Hoyer but it's NOT at all the same as calling Steele a slave.

THE TWISTED CONSERVATIVE MIND, CIRCA 1932

Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) is an early 20th Century prophet of the Free Market Fairy and is still a source of inspiration for many of today's conservatives. I recall reading one paragraph by von Mises which simply demolished Communism but I have not been able to find it so far. In my search, I did come across his analysis of accident and health insurance and he's just as barbaric as a modern day Free Market Fairy conservative. These excerpts are from his SOCIALISM: An Economic and Sociological Analysis, translated from the 2nd German edition of 1932, pages 476-77.

The destructionist aspect of accident and health insurance lies above all in the fact that such institutions promote accidents and illness, hinder recovery, and veryoften create, or at any rate intensify and 'lengthen, the functional disorders which follow illness or accident.

Insurance against diseases breeds disease.

By weakening or completely destroying the will to be well and able to work, social insurance creates illness and inability to work; it produces the habit of complaining which is in itself a neurosis — and neuroses of other kinds. In short, it is an institution which tends to encourage disease, not to say accidents, and to intensify considerably the physical and psychic results of accidents and illnesses. As a social institution it makes a people sick bodily and mentally or at least helps to multiply, lengthen, and intensify disease.

PRELIMINARY WINGNUT SCORECARD

Doug Hoffman is a movement conservative wacko running in the NY-23 special election and he's already has support from Kristol and Malkin. Other wingers are also supporting him, including the Club for Growth, the American Spectator, the Other McCain, John McCormack of the Weekly Standard, Erick Erickson of Red State and Dick Armey of Freedom Works and "Foamer" Mark Levin.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA GOP IS...

the gift that keeps on giving. We've already had the GOP governor admit to adultery and a GOP U.S. senator hope for Pres. Obama's abject failure. Now we have 2 GOP county chairman use an offensive stereotype about Jews in a completely botched attempt to defend Sen. DeMint.

From their LTE to The Times and Democrat:

DeMint watches out for all of us
Sunday, October 18, 2009

There is a saying that the Jews who are wealthy got that way not by watching dollars, but instead by taking care of the pennies and the dollars taking care of themselves. By not using earmarks to fund projects for South Carolina and instead using actual bills, DeMint is watching our nation’s pennies and trying to preserve our country’s wealth and our economy’s viability to give all an opportunity to succeed.

− Edwin O. Merwin Jr., Chairman, Bamberg County Republican Party, Denmark

−James S. Ulmer Jr., Chairman, Orangeburg County Republican Party, North

This is getting some attention in the blogosphere, almost all negative.

SEN. GREGG NEEDS A NEW PHRASE

Gregg: U.S. could be on path to a 'banana republic' situation
Posted: October 18th, 2009 03:08 PM ET

From CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart

WASHINGTON (CNN) – A leading fiscal mind on Capitol Hill and a one-time Obama Cabinet pick sounded the alarm Sunday over the projected long-term financial challenges the country faces.

The figures, Gregg told King, “mean we’re basically on the path to a banana-republic-type of financial situation in this country. And you just can’t do that. You can’t keep running these [federal] programs out [into the future] and not paying for them. And you can’t keep throwing debt on top of debt.”

According to the CIA's World Fact Book, in 2007 our national debt was 60.80% of GDP and in 2008, Mexico's was 19.30%. Who do you think has the better economy?

THE WINGERS REALLY FLOCK TO POLITICO

I'm not sure why but Politico attacts birthers, deathers, tenthers and freepers, as you can see from the results of this online poll.

GELLER BETTER THAN THE ONION

Pam Geller is so far out there that she's become unintentionally a comedian. I got a nice chuckle from these lines:

Keene is tight with Islamist Grover Norquist, which is why Islamic supremacism is never discussed at CPAC anymore. Yes, the head of the conservative movement is a house slave to Grover. We have been infiltrated by the stealth jihad.

UH OH, SOMEBODY BETTER TELL THE BECKSTER!!!

Today on his radio show, Glenn Beck started to inform us how net neutrality is part of the insidious plot to totally dominate society and eliminate our freedoms. It looks like we have a bunch of companies who are in on this and I hope Glenn puts their names up on his blackboard.

Top tech firms back open Internet in FCC letter
Oct 19 03:34 PM US/Eastern
AFP

Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Google, Twitter and other leading Web and technology companies expressed support Monday for Federal Communications Commission (FCC) efforts to ensure an open Internet.

"An open Internet fuels a competitive and efficient marketplace, where consumers make the ultimate choices about which products succeed and which fail," the chief executives and founders of two dozen companies said.

"This allows businesses of all sizes, from the smallest startup to larger corporations, to compete, yielding maximum economic growth and opportunity," they said in an open letter to FCC chairman Julius Genachowski.

Among the signatories were Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark, Digg founder Kevin Rose, eBay chief executive John Donahoe, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, Google chief executive Eric Schmidt, LinkedIn executive chairman Reid Hoffman, Skype chief executive Josh Silverman, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams and YouTube co-founder Steve Chen.

ANOTHER REASON FATS WAS GIVEN THE BOOT

I agree with Whiskey Fire: people don't want their fun - watching the NFL - mixed with politics.

A FEW YEARS AGO, I WOULD'VE BEEN DISAPPOINTED

But I've listened to Slots Bennett repeat the right-wing lies and smears about the Schiavo case, so I wasn't surprised to hear him repeat the winger BS about Anita Dunn.

FINALLY, THE RATERS ARE GETTING RATED

I've written many times before about the fraud and dishonesty practiced by the big ratings agencies (S&P, Moody's, Fitch) during the housing bubble and it looks like the word about this is reaching the general public. Susie Madrak at Crooks & Liars has a nice clip of Charlie Gasparino calling out the agencies and I'm sure her post will help spread the news. McClatchy also did an article on how Moody's went to the Dark Side.

This seems to be the best news because it takes away part of an excuse the ratings agencies used to hide behind:

Moody’s, S&P Lose Free-Speech Bid to End Fraud Suit (Update5)

By Joel Rosenblatt and David Glovin

Sept. 3 (Bloomberg) -- A U.S. judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit against Moody’s Investors Service Inc. and Standard & Poor’s, rejecting arguments that investors can’t sue over deceptive ratings of private-placement notes because those opinions are protected by free-speech rights.

U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin in New York rejected the ratings firms’ arguments yesterday, forcing them and Morgan Stanley, which was also sued, to respond to fraud charges in a class-action by investors claiming the raters hid the risks of securities linked to subprime mortgages.

Without ruling on the merits of the lawsuit, the judge also said opinions by the ratings companies may be the basis for a lawsuit “if the speaker does not genuinely and reasonably believe it or if it is without basis in fact.”

RADIO TIDBITS

The libertarians now have at least one show in Arizona, The Libertarian Solution. I first heard it on KVOI in Tucson and it's a bit odd that a Fundie-Right station would air a libertarian show because they don't favor banning abortion.

Billy Cunningham rehashed the winger lies and smears about Dunn and Jennings and also came to the defense of Fats Limbaugh. Surprisingly, he also had Mark Fuhrman on, the racist former LA detective who was involved in the O. J. Simpson case.

FAUX NEWS VS. THE VILLAGERS

The WH correctly points out that FAUX is a propaganda outlet and David Carr in the NYT gets flustered because he thinks the WH should maintain its decorum and not push back. Carr seems to forget that John Kerry was hurt by the Shifty Vet lies that FAUX pushed because he didn't push back. Jacob Weisberg in NEWSWEEK seems to understand that and makes a good point about his colleagues:

By appearing on Fox, reporters validate its propaganda values and help to undermine the role of legitimate news organizations. Respectable journalists—I'm talking to you, Mara Liasson—should stop appearing on its programs.

COMPETITION ISN'T THE ANSWER

One argument for having a public insurance option is that it will increase the competition among insurers and a HCAN study found that in 34 states, two insurance companies have 60% or more of the market. Here's a table from the study (click for larger image).

On Planet Money/This American Life, there was a segment about insurance costs and Prof. Uwe Reinhart pointed out that insurance companies which control a large part of the market have a better chance of negotiating lower prices with hospitals.
