    For Afghan Wives, a Desperate, Fiery Way Out
    Many Afghan women set themselves on fire to escape lives of servitude and abuse.
    Follow this with a pitch for support for the schools.  Lead with the Frost poem.

      Our Banana Republic
      “The richest 1 percent of Americans now take home almost 24 percent of income - http://nyti.ms/bBWnjQ (in whose interest have we been voting?” 
      We are not in the Afghans condition.  It is not from lack of effort.

    RockMelt Unveils Web Browser for Facebook Era
    A new browser from RockMelt integrates sites like Twitter and Facebook and makes it simple to keep in touch with friends also logged in.
    As you see, or read, I do not chose to live that way.  I think that I will not be lonely in that choice.

    Our Banana Republic
    No need to undertake dangerous travel to see what banana republic-style inequality looks like. Just look around. And postelection, it may get worse.

    In order for the peasants  to be revolting there must be peasants.  
    We are working on that.

    Obama Backs India for Security Council Seat
    In a speech to India’s parliament on the third and final day of his visit on Monday, President Obama called for India to be given a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council.
    But not veto power.  The government of India needs to grow up.
    The pot calls the kettle black.

      While Warning About Fat, U.S. Pushes Cheese Sales
      “While Warning About Fat, U.S. Pushes Cheese Sales - http://nyti.ms/dAaLvl” 
      Agency capture by industry was intentional in this case.
      We are northern Europeans even after all these generations. Grass is what we we know where the trees are not.  Dairy is how we eat grass.
      Cheese is stable milk, dairy, grass.  Velveta is not cheese.
      My cholesterol measures acceptable.  My weight is stable. 
      The food will be as you command.

      We will discover how effective foreclosure is at political education.

      The full impact may well not be felt for a census cycle.

      The Other Fried Chicken

      Go out for fried chicken.
       I am not prepared to run a deep fryer for two. 
      Bigger groups will be welcome but rare.
      The article is more tempting to me than the pictures.  
      Eating by eye works with children but other things are more important.

    While Warning About Fat, U.S. Pushes Cheese Sales
    When sales of Domino’s Pizza were lagging, a government agency stepped in with advice: more cheese. This is the same government that, for health reasons, is advising less cheese.
     Subsidy drives strange behaviour the headline should read.

    Irish Debt Woes Revive Wider Fears About Europe
    Even as global stock markets rallied last week, bond market jitters were a forceful reminder that investors remained wary of European sovereign debt.
    None  like to loose their shirts or the skin they have in their game.
    I am trying to discover who is winning in this process. I am not finding a winner.

    In Canton, Kindness of a Stranger Still Resonates
    A man in Ohio brought together a recipient and descendants of people who received small gifts from his grandfather during the Depression.
    This is really a very interesting observation on relief. 
    Getting it should not stigmatise the recipient. 
    I usually has because it feeds the ego of the donor.
    Ill feelings fester and amputation is easy.

    Green Power’s High Cost Scuttles Projects
    Clean energy is still a goal, but falling prices for conventional energy make the competition tighter.

    "Follow the money"  Nobody likes to be wrong, especially politicians.
    There are many sunk costs in the present system.
