And here I thought that I could not be shocked. Behold the fate of what one might call America's first attempt to export democracy:
(Warning: don't even think about watching this video on a full stomach. But a strong drink or two - or possibly even three - might be in order.)
A minor attempt at fitting some factors to NBER's recession declarations:
Edit: Data-set available upon request, though most of the folks interested enough can DIY by going to federalreserve.gov and bls.gov
introduced by Reps Edwards + Conyers:
SECTION 1. The sovereign right of the people to govern being essential to a free democracy, Congress and the States may regulate the expenditure of funds for political speech by any corporation, limited liability company, or other corporate entity.SECTION 2. Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to abridge the freedom of the press.
The GOP has been labeled such, and deservedly so. But with great power comes great lobbying, and the Democrats are making a run for the moniker. Last week Bob Menendez said:
Jurgen Habermas' twitter feed. (!!?!)
But the rise of millions of fragmented discussions across the world tend instead to lead to fragmentation of audiences into isolated publics.

You know what would be a fun project? Translating all of Schopenhauer's (or Walter Benjamin's or whomever else's) aphorisms to twitter.
“This world is empty to him alone who does not understand how to direct his libido towards objects, and to render them alive and beautiful for himself, for Beauty does not indeed lie in things, but in the feeling that we give to them.”-Carl Jung: The Psychology of the Unconscious.
“It appears that America's anti-Biblical feminist movement is at last dying, thank God, and is possibly being replaced by a Christ-centered men's movement which may become the foundation for a desperately needed national spiritual awakening”-Jerry Falwell
Precis: Psychosexual frustration is a defining characteristic of modern terrorism. Faced with the Manichaean dichotomy of religious purity and the sins of the flesh, the terrorist sublimates his libido into violence against the society which tempts him. Where the id is, there also is the ego.
If the Justice Department isn't going to be serious about going after former Bush administration lawyers on the matter of enhanced interrogation techniques, then I doubt we'll see indictments of the Bush administration officials who authorized them. From Newsweek:
A new report Contributions of Stratospheric Water Vapor to Decadal Changes in the Rate of Global Warming raises new questions on the current climate models. That is, IPCC's carbon dioxide centric climate models probably need some work.
Those in the know will have been following Mr Anthony Watts personal crusade against the NOAA/NCDC, the GHCN and, generally, the entire US temperature data gathering system. He's set up a website http://www.surfacestations.org that monitors the US temperature measuring sites, and put together an army of volunteers to examine and report back on each and every one. Here's a report

Well, NOAA/NCDC has replied. This publication in Geophysical Research Letters
