Year of the Rat: May apply to China, but Deidre says it's applicable to her property as well. Listen up for the reason (but not while you are eating).
Demise of the Bush Dynasty: Jacob Weisburg's "Oh, Brother!", published in Sunday's L.A. Times, is a fascinating commentary about Barbara and George W.H. Bush's three sons and the dreams lost due to the current resident of the White House's disasterous tenure. Join us for details.
Political Beat: Oh yeah, baby! We've found some interesting commentary, including Stephen Zunes' "Behind Obama and Clinton- Who's whispering in their ears says a lot", published in Friday's
www.informationclearinghouse.info. Zunes contrasts the Democratic rivals through their foreign policy advisors' philosophies, and we guarantee it's quite revealing. Paul Craig Roberts' "Here Come the Brownshirts Again- Does the Republican Party Have Aces Up Its Sleeves?", published in the weekend edition of
www.counterpunch.org is predictably intelligent and succinct, as he describes McCain and the brownshirts who support him and the possible Repub triumph through a plan that we must not sleep through. It's time to stand up. Listen up and find out why. Additionally, we had to comment on Romney's parting shot at Demos and Sam's responding email to his campaign. Fun and games here!
Healthcare: A must-listen segment, as we think it's entirely possible to achieve healthcare for every single person in this country, and to hell with the fear-mongers to the contrary. We use Sara Robinson's "Mythbusting Canadian Health Care- Part I" published Monday in
www.ourfuture.org to illustrate her position that much of the bally-hooed Canadian health care system is a lie. Surprise, surprise!
Economy: Please, please listen up. Richard Backus' "The Demise of the American Middle Class", published Thursday in information clearing house is a true wake-up call. Anyone want to work for $3.50/hour? Apparently 70 million U.S. citizens don't, and are deliberately not working because of it. Then we turn to Mike Whitney's "It's All Downhill From Here, Folks", also published in I.C.H. which is frightening for anyone who has money in a bank, as he predicts numerous bank failures in the coming year. Join us for the details, which everyone needs to know in order to make some plans for economic survival.
We'll be back Valentine's Day unless a rat gets us. Your support and comments are welcome and appreciated.
