      The War on Women
      “The War on Women - http://nyti.ms/idcjQu” 
      This needs to be remembered at election time. 
      Class war is what we have. I would not have thought that privilege would be the aggressor.

        No news here.  Things are really bad and staying that way.

      Look at the Science

      Not just on bison and brucelosis.  Our cultures need to look at the science on most policy issues.

      Stuxnet Software Worm Hit 5 Industrial Facilities in Iran
      “Stuxnet Software Worm Hit 5 Industrial Facilities in Iran - http://nyti.ms/ftQujR” 
      We know that stuxnet was written to attack Iran's nuclear effort.
      We know it was tried five different times.
      We know that it is a rather clumsy worm that targets a specific Siemens process controler.
      We know that the Israelis built a test facility for it.
      Why has it not destroyed Pakistan's facility?
      There is a circumstantial case for US involvement along with Germany and Israel.  knowin

    Shock Doctrine, U.S.A.
    Madison, Wis., is looking a lot like Baghdad in 2003, with government officials exploiting fiscal crises for fun and profit.
    The state workers fund the entirety of the benefit package, all of it. If it is underfunded it is because the state did not put the deductions into the fund as it had promised.  The workers owe the state nothing.  The state has a contractual obligation to its workers.

      The Contribution Scam
      David Cay Johnston has a terrific piece up about the nonsense of comparing government workers to private-sector counterparts by claiming that the government pays for more of their benefits. As he says,

        A Clarification On Public Workers
        I see that a number of commenters failed to click on my link in this post. Um, it’s true that the Times article did not include data on benefits as opposed to wages. But other studies have — notably the big EPI study (pdf). The Times results match...

    Gates Warns Against More Wars Like Iraq and Afghanistan
    Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said that anyone who advises a president to send a large U.S. army to change a third-world regime “should have his head examined.”
    "Mr. Gates was brought into the Bush cabinet in late 2006 to repair the war effort in Iraq that was begun under his predecessor, Donald H. Rumsfeld, and then was kept in office by President Obama. He did not directly criticize the Bush administration’s decisions to go to war."
    It is pressure from the army that has kept us in south Asia.
