It's almost worth having a global recession just to see the smarmy smirks disappear from the faces of the absurdly misinformed or outright lying FOX talking heads. The way they laughed, with crinkled foreheads, and looked at each other in bemusement as Peter S. essentially prophesied, oooh, it makes me want to kill television.

[Ben Sones]

"Peter, I wish we had more time with you--I know you want to continue that expose on Santa Claus."

I mean, seriously. I know we're talking about Fox here, but what a bunch of patronizing pricks. These assholes owe their viewers (and Peter Schiff) a public apology. If you are going to throw around that kind of mocking, self-righteous certainty about how things are going to play out, then you had better be prepared to man up and take your knocks when it turns out that you are horribly, utterly wrong, and the guy that you were mocking is 100% right. Not that I expect any of those guys to do that; these days they are probably saying that they saw this coming all along, if only someone had listened!

[Dave Perkins]

And Peter, somehow, managed to smile -- sincerely smile! -- at the Santa Claus line. How, I don't know. I wanted to start tossing cream pies. And "tossing cream pies" is code for something truly vile. I don't know exactly what vile thing, but it's vile.

[Ben Sones]

That last guy was the best one, too. His top stock pick for 2008: Washington Mutual. "I think the Dow is going to go to 16,000 by the end of 2008, but the biggest winner will be the NASDAQ."

I was more impressed with Ben Stein & his Merrill Lynch stock pick. He was just as wrong as the last guy, but Mr. Stein made the mistake of offering a rationale for his pick... one that was 100% bullshit.

"Merrill Lynch is an excellently run company."

(paraphrasing the quote from memory)

What a douche.

Holy shit this Peter Schiff guy is goddamn smart. Get him in as Treasury Secretary ASAP.

[Bill]

That's awesome how patronizing the Fox newscasters (and guests) are, proudly trumpetting their ignorance; "I have no idea what this guy is saying."

[Dave Perkins]

"Merrill Lynch is an excellently run company."

There was another adjective in there, like "profoundly" or "phenomenally". As if he could hardly believe in Earth's good luck.

[PeterGinsberg]

Holy shit this Peter Schiff guy is goddamn smart. Get him in as Treasury Secretary ASAP.

He was the Ron Paul campaign economic advisor. He has said Obama will be an "economic disaster". He is a hardcore free market, no regulation guy. He's also one of those "buy gold" types. His father is a well known tax protester (not fair to hold that against him, just a note).

In other words, he's kind of out in crackpot territory. There are other people who predicted the economic crises who are not.

[Shadarr]

That's awesome how patronizing the Fox newscasters (and guests) are, proudly trumpetting their ignorance; "I have no idea what this guy is saying."

Yes, it's a great encapsulation of the lead up to the crisis: I have no idea what he means by fundamentals but I'm confident real estate will go up 10% next year.

I like Shep the most out of all the Fox personalities, but I watched a couple of clips of him going off on being dismissed as just "Fox" and I'm beginning to think his anger is more his conscious finally getting to him. Heh. Seriously, that interview he's talking about here was a joke and he's being disingenuous about "people on the street are asking these questions" as if it's some kind of grassroots concern. Still, his point about having an answer to shut them up is a good one regardless of all the other baggage.

I love those proportional tax pie charts. It's such big surprise if you don't make much and you don't own anything your proportion of the total taxes collected is going to be lower. Somebody stop the presses!

Otherwise, I think there's some fair points about the tax code in there even if the makers of the video are so blind that they miss the apparent income inequality in their statistics.

[Anti-Bunny]

The videos make it very clear that rich people are the most patriotic of americans, by far.

Uuh.. No? But claiming that paying more taxes makes you patriotic is pretty ridiculous.

[Papageno]

Paying the taxes one owes could be seen as doing one's civic duty, which is considered to be a necessary (but perhaps not sufficient) requirement of patriotism, no?

[Soapyfrog]

They only count income tax burden so that's a bit retarded.

Edit: And yes it is patriotic to pay more taxes as your capability to comfortably pay those taxes increases.

[Papageno]

Uhm, no, but I'd love to hear what your other requirements of patriotism are.

Well, paying the taxes one owes under the law is a subset of obeying the laws which is, at least in the classical understanding (in Plato's _Crito_ if I remember right--the one where Socrates turns down his friends' offers to bust him out of prison and spirit him away from Athens) a duty of patriotism. I suppose some might say other requirements would include some kind of mandatory national service (either military, as in Heinlein's _Starship Troopers_, or otherwise).

As A-B says in his own inimitable way, there really is no guarantee that someone who is certified to teach a subject is actually qualified to do so by any reasonable measure. There are teachers who have actual content mastery for what they teach, but it's not nearly as common as you'd hope. If No Child Left Behind were a serious proposal instead of a mess, it would it would include a comprehensive way to routinely assess teachers. The standardized teacher tests are not capable of assessing deficiencies on their own, and I would argue that the current generation seem targeted at reassuring teachers and parents rather than actually testing their knowledge of a subject.

Here in GA, you can literally have taught nothing but math for years, take a single test, and be put in charge of any other subject at any grade level. The test is arguably better than what was there before, but not by enough.

I'm looking for full statements from Acorn, not unlinked excerpts from blogs. My google fu fails me, anyone dig up anything?

ACORN apparently fired them because they 'did not meet ACORN’s standards of professionalism.'
http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/ap/58793032.html

As far as I can tell, there is no 'full statement'.

[Mordrak]

One blog I was at had a multiparagraph statement about the second incident, but I couldn't find it anywhere else.

One thing to keep in mind is that organizations like this are often dealing people so marginalized by society that they are not only punished by circumstance but for their circumstances, so I'm not surprised that ACORN employed individuals would help prostitutes, drug addicts, or the homeless find living arrangements, vote, etc even if they were aware these people would continue in self-destructive behavior.

But the the congressman thing and the blatant disregard for the children of an explicit sex trade ring is.. I don't even have words. The former has no justification and the latter would not only require such extremely twisted logic, but it wouldn't necessarily even preclude talking to the proper authorities even with logic that twisted. It's so outrageous that it even tests credulity.

Edit: Though, a hard truth (and probably a unpreventable one) is many people that work in organizations that deal directly with some of the worst elements of our society have backgrounds in that. As a drug addict I knew once said, the first place they'd go if they wanted to score right out of prison is an NA meeting.

That's cute, but defunding a specific organization is not necessarily a Bill of Attainder. A bill of attainder is a bill laying out a punishment for a person or group of persons for declared misconduct without trial. Defunding an organization is not a punishment, its a discretionary power. FINING them would be considered a punishment. Congress is not required to fund any organizations.

[charmtrap]

Not necessarily, maybe, but your very own link certainly thinks it's possible.



While the regulatory purpose of ensuring that federal funds are properly spent is a legitimate one, it is not clear that imposing a permanent government-wide ban on contracting with or providing grants to ACORN fits that purpose, at least when the ban is applied to ACORN and its affiliates jointly and severally. In theory, under the House bill, the behavior of a single employee from a single affiliate could affect not only ACORN but all of its 361 affiliates. Thus, there may be issues raised by characterizing this legislation as purely regulatory in nature. While the Supreme Court has noted that the courts will generally defer to Congress as to the regulatory purpose of a statute absent clear proof of punitive intent, there appear to be potential issues raised with attempting to find a rational non-punitive regulatory purpose for this legislation. Thus, it appears that a court may have a sufficient basis to overcome the presumption of constitutionality, and find that it violates the prohibition against bills of attainder.

Is it just me, or is Maddow uncomfortably close to channeling Jon Stewart? Don't get me wrong, I love Stewart, and I'm generally in agreement with what Maddow says editorially (and as a reporter). But nevertheless, her mannerisms seem completely ripped-off from Stewart, and that in it self makes me hard to take her seriously. As Stewart himself notes, he's a comedian, not a newscaster. And so it makes it hard for me to take a newscaster who too resembles him seriously, even when I agree with her!

[Anaxagoras]

Is it just me, or is Maddow uncomfortably close to channeling Jon Stewart?

The biggest similarity that I notice, which I'm guessing is what you're seeing, is how both Stewart & Maddow often let the audience see their sheer disbelief at the shenanigans of the right. Oh... and they both get kinda snarky. But Stewart mugs for the camera a lot more, and Maddow's reports tend to be much more eloquent, fact based, and joke-free. Another difference: Maddow consistently seems bemused by the right, while Stewart is often obviously outraged.

They really don't seem all that similar to me.

But wait, there's more!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Wednesday it will be a cold day in Maricopa County before one of his officers apologizes for taking an attorney’s confidential files…

“Superior Court judges do not order my officers to hold press conferences,” Arpaio said in a news release. “I decide who holds press conferences and when they are held.”

An attorney for the sheriff, Tom Liddy, went even further, saying it’s unlikely Stoddard will go to jail for defying the judge’s order. “Folks should not hold their breaths,” he said.

But the sheriff’s office, which runs the county jails, doesn’t plan to defy the order outright. Liddy said the agency will challenge it in a higher court.

The attorney said the order violates Stoddard’s rights to free speech.

The judge “cannot order somebody to lie,” Liddy said. “Of course he’s not sorry for doing his job…It’s absurd on his face.”
