It is very comforting to believe that leaders who do terrible things are, in fact, mad. That way, all we have to do is make sure we don’t put psychotics in high places and we’ve got the problem solved.

The Greenlining Institute: Does the financial crisis have its origins in Berkeley?

Yesterday I followed a link to a new article by Matthew Vadum which named The Greenlining Institute (among similar nonprofits) as the actual cause of the current financial crisis threatening the US economy. I did a double-take: The Greenlining Institute? You mean the one in Berkeley? Answer: Yes. The very same.

[pic of Greenlining Institute headquarters.]
I (and countless other people) often zip past the nondescript office on Berkeley’s University Avenue containing the Greenlining Institute — one passes it on the way in and out of the city, as University leads from the freeway to downtown and the U.C. campus.

Unlike most people, though, several months ago I took note of the office as I passed it one day, and asked myself, “The Greenlining Institute” — what the hell is that? When I got home, out of curiosity I googled it and spent a couple minutes trying to decipher their Web site, to little avail. A very few other scattered articles seemed to indicate that the Greenlining Institute existed solely to bully banks and financial institutions into giving loans to otherwise unqualified minority borrowers.

...etc.

Anyone know where I can find a video of Gore's infamous sigh and rolling of the eyes during the first presidential debate of 2000? I've always heard about it but have never seen it myself. I'm not turning anything up on youtube.

Janet H. Brown, Executive Director
Commission on Presidential Debates
RE: Choice of Gwen Ifill as Moderator of the 2008 Vice Presidential Debates

At what point does an establishment like the United States media find the collective sense of honesty to look upon itself and realize that it has strayed far, far away from what could even conceivably be considered a sense of objectivity? The fact that so many individuals working at newspapers, news stations, and other media outlets, have a very thinly veiled, if veiled at all, desire to see liberal minded people take control of our nation, is fairly well documented in the colloquial sense. The fact that those people are more quickly advanced through the ranks than their conservative counterparts, is made clear by the case-in-point of this election season - the undeniable desire of the media at large for Barack Obama to win the Presidential election.

That many in the media at large try to deny this is simply silly. But for someone like Gwen Ifill to be appointed as "moderator" of the upcoming Vice Presidential debates, is an insult to the collective intelligence of the American people. And once again John McCain has taken the high road when he should be lashing out against the clear inequity. Shame on you, Janet Brown, for allowing this to happen. Shame on you, for submitting to the putrification of intellectual discourse in America, caused by you and thousands of other media representatives that are supposed to be closely guarding the gates of objectivity among those who control information in our fine nation.

Go to the BBC site and search for the word "debates." They have all the highlights dating back to 1960.

They should get an academic to moderate. Someone who has confined themselves to writing biographies of Presidents who have been dead for over 50 years. The role of moderator is rediculous anyway. A timekeeper to keep track of whether one side is hogging th emicrophone makes sense. Otherwise the two adults should just respond to each other. That would make it a debate.

Sadly no, but if the water makes it back to the ocean it probably would cause a massive environmental disaster...

Boy, it almost seems as if the left in this country considers the '08 elections its final assault, does it not? They seem to have spent the last eight years scouring for the vulnerable and the weak-willed amongst us, and are ready to take it to the house, so to speak. I think they're supremely confident that the media will successfully keep their egregious transgressions of the past under wraps long enough to pull off a victory in November. Time for us all to buck up, and shove their shit right back in their sanctimonious pieholes.

Yes indeed. I am not a big baseball fan but I lived near NYC and always read the NYDN and NYT (spit) and hadn't heard anything at all about him so he must have been just cruising along and enjoying himself and staying out of baseball stuff cause I thought he was gone years ago.
Then come the final game at Yankee Stadium and I guess he couldn't resist. I believe he was there with whitey ford and some other Yankees from the past.

9% Nancy's next ploy will be to load it up with as much pork as possible to get 12 more Dems, but it won't work this close to an election. The people would see it as a cynical ploy - and those 12 that voted YES would lose their seats. No Dem or Rep is going to commit political suicide to help 9% Nancy.

The current environment has made questions surrounding the determination of fair value particularly challenging for preparers, auditors, and users of financial information.

Also I don't buy his "let's burn natural gas as auto fuel". If we did that, we'd exhaust our natural gas supplies. Let's keep it for electricity generation and heating homes. That will stretch out our natural gas supply much longer. I think he has money to be made with natural gas vehicles, which is why he's peddling it.

The Democrats will obfuscate any tangible information as to their true positions. If they said what they really want to do, what they believe, they would be laughed off.

A very large confused, bewildered, stupefied and dependent segment of the population is needed for Dems to exist.

So they just lie blatantly and consistently in order to grow and enlarge this segment.

One thing I just dont understand, that came to me while reading something on Yahoo about the campaign clarifying Palin's comment about Putin and missiles over Alaska....

Why the hell is Palin expected to know something about foreign policy when it's CLEAR that she's strongest on domestic stuff, namely energy? Its like beating a dead horse, but where the hell is Obama's foreign policy experience? Have we forgotten that this guy is running for PRESIDENT, not VICE President? I mean, I know I'm preaching to the choir, but it's freakin' ridiculous and reading that article just got me re-aggravated.

Accusing people of things you know nothing about is extremely rude. Attempting to make someone assert that they are not a troll or moby is is a very disingenuous and intellectually dishonest thing to do when you clearly know nothing about them. At this point you even pretending that you were anything other than rude is just plain dishonest.

re: #232 rednaxela

Lie Down with Dogs, Wake Up with Fleas

But who are those associations that, as an American and especially as a Jew, I am so worried about? Obama’s 300-plus foreign policy advisors include high-ranking people who are known for their undisguised contempt of Jews, in general, and their loathing of Israel, in particular:

General Merrill "Tony" McPeak, who Sen. Obama once considered a potential V.P., was his campaign co-chairman and top military adviser. When asked by The Oregonian to name the problem preventing peace in the Middle East, McPeak said: "New York City. Miami” – code-names for Jews. Obama refused to remove him from his campaign, but he slunk out anyway.

Samantha Power, a former senior policy advisor to Obama (before she resigned for insulting Hillary Clinton) has advocated ending all U.S. military aid to Israel. She has written of her willingness to “alienate a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import [American Jews]…it may more crucially mean sacrificing…billions of dollars, not in servicing Israel’s military, but actually investing in the state of Palestine.”

Robert Malley, a top foreign policy advisor to Obama, left the Obama campaign when it was revealed that he'd been conducting meetings with Hamas. Two years ago, after the terror group won a majority in the Palestinian parliament, Malley advocated international aid to their newly formed government. He stated that the election of Hamas expressed Palestinian "anger at years of humiliation and loss of self-respect because of Israeli settlement expansion, Arafat's imprisonment, [and] Israel's incursions…”

Rashid Khalidi, a longtime friend of and fundraiser for Obama, is a former spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization. According to WorldNetDaily, at a 2003 farewell party for Mr. Khalidi, Obama sat in attendance as a young Palestinian-American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism…and sharply criticizing U.S. support of Israel. Obama has credited Mr. Khalidi with uncovering "my own blind spots and my own biases" regarding the plight of the Palestinians. Obama funneled $75,000 in grants to the Arab American Action Network (run by Mr. Khalidi's wife, Mona), a group that calls Israel's independence Al-Nakba (the catastrophe).

Anthony “Tony” Lake, Obama’s top foreign policy advisor, served in the Carter ("Israel practices apartheid") administration, notorious for its animus toward Israel. As national security advisor to President Clinton, Lake shaped the policy that treated Islamic terrorism as a law-enforcement matter, which paved the way for the first World Trade Center bombing, the bombing of our embassies in Africa, the bombing of the USS Cole, and the disaster of September 11, 2001.

Susan Rice, another of Obama’s senior foreign policy advisors, was John Kerry's chief foreign policy adviser when he ran for President. Kerry’s idea for dealing with the Middle East was to appoint not one but two diehard enemies of Israel – James Baker and Jimmy Carter – as negotiators. Faced with a firestorm of criticism, Kerry backed down and blamed his staff, which consisted of Susan Rice.

Madeleine K. Albright, Clinton’s Secretary of State, lobbied Congress for increased foreign aid to the terrorist Arafat and arranged for him to become the White House’s most frequent guest. She consistently touted negotiations, rather than confrontation, with terror regimes.

Continued...

Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter’s National Security Advisor, has been one of Israel’s most consistently hostile critics and Hamas’s most ardent supporters, as well as a staunch admirer (both in writing and verbally) of Stephen Walt’s and John Mearsheimer’s virulently anti-Israel book, “The Israel Lobby,” which, among other things, contends that Jewish pressure, and not shared values, binds America and Israel together. Brzezinski's son, Mark, is also among Obama's foreign policy advisors.

Lee Hamilton, a former congressman who served as the Chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Middle East, waxed adoringly of Arafat, calling him a “moderate” leader.

James {“F… the Jews”) Baker, Reagan’s former Chief of Staff and the first President Bush’s Secretary of State (a department whose Arabist tilt is well-known), is among the harshest detractors of Israel, has often engaged in raw anti-Semitic remarks, is known for coddling Middle East dictators (including Syria’s Assad), and has been heavily invested (through the Carlyle Group) in the Israel-hating country of Saudi Arabia. In fact, Baker’s law firm defended the Saudi Defense Minister who was sued for alleged complicity by the families of the World Trade Center victims.

Daniel Kurtzer, a former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, was one of James Baker’s “Jew Boys,” which included, among others who militated against Israel, Dennis Ross (of the Clinton administration). Kurtzer recently said: "It will be impossible to make progress on serious peace talks without putting the future of Jerusalem on the table."

And this is the short list!

Ok now that would be cute. :) But that video. Yikes. Although, my daughter wants to go 80s for Halloween this year, I should show that vid to her. Lord knows I'm not showing her a Madonna video. :X

..was not intending to copy your evil laugh, Sharmuta. Just coincidence.

I would have hoped for some inciteful analysisof the bailout plan. Or, perhaps, strategy for turning this election around. But, noooo

re: #47 slokat

Was trying to post a pic to one of the reasons I wasn't around. Just bought the "Wind Tamer" at bank auction.

re: #244 littleoldlady

Sorry to hear you didn't get your rest tonight. I've been up IMing with a friend while we messed around with our Facebook pages. Dorky.

Now I'm just all hyper and can't sleep yet- otherwise I'm great. :)

re: #250 itellu3times

sloKat ... I see, 36.5 foot ketch, nice. Do you have time for it, much less money? I guess so. And expertise. I was never more than a day sailor, and haven't floated so much as a tea cup in years, but oh the dreams!

re: #226 doriangrey

Well we get our share of sleepers and trolls and mobys, but you can usually spot them by their low post count.

BTW;
"outmoded interface" comments in Pat Condell: Welcome to Saudi Britain thread concerning Sharia: approx 90
Number of down dings for those comments: approx 130

Doriangrey comments in Pat Condell: Welcome to Saudi Britain thread (mostly defending "outmoded interface" and attacking anyone else who thought "outmoded_interface" was an a$$hat): approx 34
Number of down dings for those comments: approx 7

jcw46 comments pointing out in Pat Condell: Welcome to Saudi Britain thread "outmoded interface" pov was located in his rectal area: approx 13
number of down dings = 0
number of up dings = 4

So maybe I don't have a large number of comments (although my average per day so far is 2.5 which more than "outmoded interface"s average per day since they've been registered.)
At least generally my comments are more in line with rational thinking lizards here. I'll take that over YOUR opinion any day doriengrey.

Anyone remember the scene from "South Park" where they did a video of cartman talking to his dolls at a make believe tea party?
Reminds me of the "conversation" between doriangrey and "outmoded_interface" doncha think? (now I made NO accusations or claims of fact now did I?) you want rude? I can do rude.
