When your team is down by a run or two, you look to a team member to man up and say 'this is the way to go... this is what we should do'. Cory Booker is that man. Private Equity is not and will never be the boogey-man. And our team, Team Obama, should look up from their polls and embrace this young thinker and doer.

Private Equity does in their DNA what Community Organizers do in theirs. And both are good for America.

When your message becomes tinny, super-partisan, and outside the embrace of the all important 'independents' ... you lose.

We, the Cossacks, the Unions, the progressives, the Occupiers... don't have the sheer numbers to win the election without the independents.

more at the fold...

The health care debate has raised consciences around the United States. The once fuzzy notion of single payer has been replaced with the solid icon of an efficient system of administration (typically one layer) that handles the finances for health care; instead of the thousands of disparate administrators in thousands of companies, trying to placate thousands of insurance companies. Single Payer is as American and efficient as Sam Walton’s concepts for mass marketing and mass provisioning. There are still the faint and tired calls from the ridiculous republicans that this is socialism – which to them is automatically of the Devil’s spawn. Please! The conservatives also have an archaic and preposterous knee jerk reaction to the elegant model that is Single Payer. Conservatives always demonstrate an undeniable and collective evidence of all their poor attempts in the past to avail themselves to the American K-12 educational system.

While we adults re-imagine health care into a system that is cost efficient and overflows with all the benefits of a vigorous and healthy citizenry, let us not stop there. Jump with me to the other side of the fold.

The Real Reason Craigslist Had to Go Down (Hint: $$)

A young woman posted her massage services on-line. A young man then contacted her and a few hours later she was dead in a hotel room. Predator meets prey.

The woman was Julissa Brisman of Boston.
The man was Philip Markoff.
The on-line listing service was Craigslist.

Then it started... the clamor over shutting down the adult services on Craigslist. Soon, the rallying cries were loud and righteous: Stop prostitution! Protect all women’s rights! Stop the subjugation of women! Prevent crime!

But is the Craiglist story about women’s rights, public safety, or internet resources? No, It is only about one thing.

It is all about M O N E Y

Congressman Etheridge stood for what all Americans believe in: truth and the right of privacy – especially from any type of ambush and especially from make believe journalists. The truth is nobody knows who these Taliban are (Taliban is Pashto for students). For some reason, the Taliban who have released this tape have obscured the perpetrator’s faces.

Breitbart is now taking part of the credit. No surprises here. Breitbart was the backer of last summer’s Taliban fictional tale: the pimp and the hooker.

As a resident of Massachusetts, I have a little sequence of events I want to share with the out-of-state progressives.

In 2004, Ted Kennedy requested that the State Legislature change the law so that then Governor Romney could not select a replacement for Sen. John Forbes Kerry (D-MA), who was on the cusp of winning the 2004 presidential election.

The pre-2004 law said the the governor could select a replacement for the rest of the term.

I have worked in Cambridge for over 17 years now (...one of the universities, semiconductors, and now Biotech). I see the Cambridge police every day. I have had 3 run-ins with them over that time (all pretty mild). I know Sgt Crowley by sight but have not met him. I know the street where Gates lives in his Harvard-subsidized housing. I know this town and let me tell you...it is as liberal as Berkeley. So what happened?

Over 200 hostage seamen from many countries are just a bit little more than uptight tonight in their Somali jails. The US came in and blasted three Somali merchant pirates into kingdom come. Three head shots. BLAM BLAM BLAM

Double O-bama now has some 3 notches on his very own pistol grip. A faint yet distinct "YEEEE HAAAWW" was heard in the corridors of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave after the Navy called with the news.

Chris Dodd lied boldfaced to the TV cameras and then a day later, fell on his sword. He did indeed put 'language' into the bill about preserving bonuses that were contractually obligated. wtf?

Now we find out that 13 of the companies receiving STIM/TARP owe a total of $200Million in back taxes. what??

I am so pissed off that not a single line in these bills can be laid at the feet of the right. The offices of Pelosi, Gietner, and Emmanuel wrote it all. The repugs were shut out.

Hope and change also need to be spiffed up with upbeat language.

Mr. President: Please don't talk down the economy!
