US News of the Week


US News of the Week 04/16/2005 11:29 PM
dlighanmadcow
Everyone Hates the US Media:
Nicholas Kristof in the NYT covers a pair of new reports that indicates that Americans of all political stripes deeply distrust the mainstream media. Maybe the time for reconsidering the job of the media has come.

Mad Cow in the US: There is growing evidence that the US has covered up incidents of Mad Cow disease. Is anyone really surprised?

US Income Disparity Balloons Again: Pay increases for US CEOs last year again reached double-digit levels, with salary increases compensating for the drop in stock options. meanwhile pay increases for the average US wage-earned declined in real terms last year. The differential between the income of the elite and the average worker is now the highest anywhere since such statistics were first collected.

Meanwhile, nothing of significance happened up here in Canada. We might have another election soon as a result of continuing revelations about our small-potatoes government fraud, which will almost assuredly (a) produce another, even more splintered, minority government, and (b) embolden the separatists in Quebec to make a last gasp effort to win a separation referendum.

And last but not least, a bunch of people have sent me links to James Kunstler's essays. They're very entertaining and well-written, but they add no new information and are sure to further polarize the US population. What is it going to take for us to get past insane partisan politics and start working together to find real and lasting solutions to the crises we're ignoring and the crises we're precipitating?

Political News of the Week


Political News of the Week 03/22/2005 04:54 PM
missiledefenceI'm too discouraged by the US Senate decision to authorize drilling in the ANWR to talk about it. The NRDC says there's still hope and advises what to do about it. Here's the rest of the week's important political news:

Bus h Now Produces His Own Ready-to-Broadcast Propaganda -- just in case Faux News and the other media outlets don't get his spin quite right. Now your station doesn't need any reporters or any news budget whatever. Just roll the prepackaged government productions. And if you're smart, you can even get kickbacks from the government for doing so -- it's all the rage these days.

Bush the Small Animal Torturer -- an interesting editorial by David Podvin suggests the real George Bush has a life-long record of cruel and psychopathic behaviour. A little over the top, though there is evidence that torture of small animals as a child is a hallmark of future criminal and psychopathic behaviour, and there's also a long history of psychopaths striving for and achieving leadership positions.

Salon Weighs In on the End of Oil -- Robert Bryce provides a balanced accounting of what oil reserves actually are. Most compelling: Increasing evidence that OPEC, whose share of global remaining reserves will soar past 50% in the next few years, is pushing its production capacity to the limit, and, as Algeria's energy minister, Chakib Khelil, said, "OPEC does not have the production capacity to increase its quotas." Historically, these kind of supply/demand tipping points precede huge price shifts. The US Energy Board has raised its annual estimate of average wellhead prices for 2005 oil from $29 (last year's estimate) to $50. Like all commodities these days, expect prices to yo-yo, but inflation, here we come.

Wolfy' s Plan to Topple OPEC -- In related oil news, Greg Palast reports for the BBC and Harper's that new reports obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show Wolfowitz, Chalabi, Bush & Co planned long before 9/11 to topple Saddam, seize Iraqi oil and sell it off to private oil interests. The more pragmatic corporate oil oligopoly balked at the last part of the neocon plan, saying that destabilizing OPEC was in no one's best interests, and preferring instead a state-owned oil company that the US would effectively control. On the losing end, Wolfy has now been banished to the World Bank, a place better suited to his megalomaniac tendencies.

US Predicts Likely Terrorist Attack Areas -- Another document that Bush was trying to keep under wraps, but was inadvertently posted on the Hawaii State Government site, lists urban nuclear devices, biotoxins in office complexes and bombs in sports arenas as the greatest threats, and says there are too may possible targets in each category to list. Blowing up chemical plants, bioattacks in airports, and infecting food animals with diseases or poisons are next on the list, which also includes three natural disasters (earthquakes, influenza epidemics and hurricanes), but has taken plane hijackings off the list because they're presumably no longer possible thanks to those brave and brilliant Homeland Security guys. Planning calls for about 1500 different, coordinated actions in the case of any of these incidents, regardless of where in the US they occurred. Bin Laden must be rolling on the ground laughing. Hey, does duct tape work when it gets wet?

Former Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Writes to Condi -- A savage op-ed by Lloyd Axworthy (whose campaign I worked on many centuries ago) explains to Condi Rice why Canada chose not to sign on to the US Missile Defence system. You tell 'em Lloyd.

.

Help a Fellow Blogger -- Blogger Darren Barefoot is fasting for 30 hours as part of a WorldVision project to raise money to defeat world hunger. I've pledged some money to help, and would encourage you to do so as well.
