Three Charts to Email to Your Right-Wing Brother-in-Law
http://www.truth-out.org/three-charts-email-your-right-wing-brother-law/1314626142
Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future: "Problem: Your right-wing brother-in-law is plugged into the FOX-Limbaugh lie machine, and keeps sending you emails about 'Obama spending' and 'Obama deficits' and how the 'Stimulus' just made things worse. Solution: Here are three 'reality-based' charts to send to him. These charts show what actually happened."
Bill McKibben: Will Hurricane Irene Be a Wake-Up Call About Climate Change?
http://www.truth-out.org/bill-mckibben-will-hurricane-irene-be-wake-call-about-climate-change/1314630172
Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: "Hurricane Irene received a massive amount media coverage, but television reports made little or no reference to the role global warming played in the storm. We speak with someone with his eye on climate change and its impact. 'We've had not only this extraordinary flooding, but on the same day that Hurricane Irene was coming down, Houston set its all time temperature record, 109 degrees,' says Bill McKibben, co-founder and director of 350."
From Critical Pedagogy to the War on Youth: Henry Giroux on Democracy Unsettled
http://www.truth-out.org/henry-giroux-democracy-unsettled-critical-pedagogy-war-youth/1313679897
Michael A. Peters interviews Giroux on the evolution of his thoughts about critical pedagogy. Giroux says, "My interest in critical pedagogy grew out of my experience as a secondary school teacher. I came of age in the 1960s as a teacher, and there was a great deal of latitude in what we were allowed to teach then.... While I had no trouble finding critical content, including progressive films I used to rent from the Quakers (Society of Friends), I did not know how to theorize the various approaches to teaching I tried in the classroom."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Between 2002 and 2007, Two-Thirds of All New Income Went to Top 1 Percent of Americans, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news-thom-hartmann/1314632226
In today's On the News segment: Most Republicans haven't held town hall meetings during August recess; between 2002 and 2007, two-thirds of all new income in America went to top 1 percent of Americans; Irene caused heavy flooding as it swept through upstate New York and Vermont; two GOP Congressmen caught creating "watch lists" of constituents who've asked tough questions at town hall meetings; Arizona trying to dump Voting Rights Act of 1965 on 48th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech; and more.
Qaddafi's Wife and Three of His Children Flee to Algeria
http://www.truth-out.org/qaddafis-wife-and-three-his-children-flee-algeria/1314644725
David D. Kirkpatrick, Rod Nordland and Rick Gladstone, The New York Times News Service: "Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi's second wife and three of his children fled to Algeria on Monday, the Algerian Foreign Ministry said. It was the first official news on the whereabouts of any members of the Qaddafi family since he was routed from his Tripoli fortress by rebel forces a week ago, a decisive turn in the Libyan conflict."
News Corp. Set to Air 9/11 Documentary Glorifying Bush
http://www.truth-out.org/news-corp-set-air-911-documentary-glorifying-bush-producer-says-hes-not-interested-facts/1314632428
Lee Fang, ThinkProgress: "After spending over a decade promoting President Bush, the PATRIOT Act, and the Iraq War, Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation appears to be up to the same tricks, this time with an hour-long promotional video about Bush's leadership during the 9/11 attacks. Although News Corp. is perhaps best known for its Bush cheerleading through its Fox News subsidiary, the Bush documentary is airing on another News Corp. company with a better brand image, National Geographic."
Dean Baker | Hurricane Perry Bashes East Coast
http://www.truth-out.org/hurricane-perry-bashes-east-coast/1314624844
Dean Baker, Truthout: "Climatologists tell us that we cannot relate any specific weather event to global warming but there is no doubt that human-caused global warming increases the likelihood of extreme weather events like Irene. This means that by the Washington politics standard of evidence we absolutely can blame the death and destruction caused by the hurricane on Governor Perry and other opponents of measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. If we continue to emit GHG without restraint we can expect many more Irene type catastrophes in the United States and around the world."
Dear Super Committee: Defense Contractors Are "Second to None" in Wasteful Spending
http://www.truth-out.org/dear-super-committee-defense-contractors-are-second-none-wasteful-spending/1314637409
Ben Freeman, Project on Government Oversight: "In what some are calling an 'unprecedented' campaign, defense contractors as an industry bloc are fighting reductions in national security spending to preserve their place on the government gravy train. Spearheaded by the reportedly enlisted the help of LMG Inc., a Washington public affairs firm, the conservative Heritage Foundation, and the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments to push its agenda."
Jim Hightower | Advertisers Deem the Middle Class Unworthy Consumers
http://www.truth-out.org/mass-marketing-goes-platinum/1314623441
Jim Hightower, Other Words: "In today's fast-moving world of consumer styles, when you're out, you're out. Not just out-of-style, but so far out that you no longer interest the big marketers. Thus it is that advertising authorities have deemed the middle class itself (roughly 60 percent of us, depending on where you draw the income line) to be unworthy consumers. We're too poor to matter, they say. Instead of deploring this widening disparity, major hawkers of consumer products are choosing to embrace it. Advertising Age, the marketing industry's top publication, has curtly declared that 'mass affluence is over.'"
Pipeline Protests: Beyond the Usual Suspects
http://www.truth-out.org/pipeline-protests-beyond-usual-suspects/1314627113
Madeline Ostrander, Yes! Magazine: "Several months ago, John Stansbury, a soft-spoken professor from Omaha, Neb., took his 12-year-old grandson to a public meeting to discuss Keystone XL, the proposed mega-pipeline that would carry oil from Canada across his home state to the Gulf of Mexico. At the time, Stansbury knew almost nothing about the pipeline and had never done anything particularly political. 'I'm not really an activist,' he says, a bit sheepishly. But he wanted his grandson to 'see democracy at work.'"
Saving Sacred Spaces
http://www.truth-out.org/saving-sacred-spaces/1314633428
Randall Amster, New Clear Vision: "You might not be aware of this news from northern Arizona, since the reporting of it in the media has been less than robust, but in recent weeks there have been dozens of arrests at the Snowbowl ski expansion site in the San Francisco Peaks, just outside of Flagstaff. Following years of rancorous public debate and coming on the heels of circuitous court proceedings, the developers of the site have begun excavation in order to expand the slopes and lay a pipeline for the bringing of wastewater to make artificial snow on the mountain."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
One of the traditional America values that used to be revered as a sign of our national character was common sense.
But no longer. Most of the right-wing slogans and sound bites are based on promoting economic policy that has proven not to work. This is the opposite of common sense: it's doing what repeatedly hasn't shown results and insisting that it will magically be effective the next time around.
GOP Congressman Randy Hultgren of Illinois was confronted with common sense about the Bush tax cuts at a summer recess town hall meeting. Indeed, a constituent asked Hultgren why - if the Bush tax cuts helped create jobs, as the GOP argues - the unemployment rate has gone up around 3 percentage points since they were enacted? Hultgren was flummoxed.
He couldn't answer the question and fumbled his way into talking about "the stimulus" instead of the ineffectiveness of excessive tax cuts for the wealthy. Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks featured a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN5cdoSEDkU&feature=share) of the encounter and remarked that Hultgren was "stone cold busted." Uygur noted that we've lost a million jobs over the last ten years.
The constituent also pointed out that the nonwealthy end up paying more in additional government taxes (to cover the interest on the debt, but one could add that additional flat, local and state taxes are borne by the middle and working class), while the rich just get richer.
You can add to that the common sense and prima facie reality that if the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy were repealed, it would go a long way toward reducing the national deficit with which the GOP and the Tea Party are so obsessed.
