William Rivers Pitt | Dick Cheney, the Ultimate American Terrorist
http://www.truth-out.org/ultimate-american-terrorist/1314801556
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "It is axiomatic by now: when someone leaves government service, especially a high-profile position, they write a book.... Speaking of damaging the republic, Dick Cheney has a book out. I'm sure you've heard about it by now; he laid the groundwork for its release by claiming the contents would cause heads to explode in Washington, causing everyone to say 'Ooooh, this should be good.' It isn't, at all, but I must confess that my head did come very close to launching itself off my shoulders ... not because of what's in the book, but because I have to deal with the rancid reality of a free and unconvicted Dick Cheney appearing in the public eye once again. If there were any justice to be found in this deranged country, Dick Cheney would have penned his pestiferous, self-serving little memoir by the light of a bare bulb inside the cell of a federal prison."

Department of Justice Moves to Block AT&T Merger With T-Mobile
http://www.truth-out.org/us-moves-block-att-merger-t-mobile/1314812763
Michael J. De La Merced and Jeffrey Cane, The New York Times News Service: "The Justice Department sued on Wednesday to block AT&T's proposed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile, a deal that would create the largest carrier in the country and reshape the industry. 'The department filed its lawsuit because we believe the combination of AT&T and T-Mobile would result in tens of millions of consumers all across the United States facing higher prices, fewer choices and lower quality products for their mobile wireless services,' said James M. Cole, the deputy attorney general."

CEO Pay Exceeds Company Tax Bill at Major Corporations
http://www.truth-out.org/fracking-irs/1314798221
Chuck Collins, Institute for Policy Studies: "As the Super Congress eyes trillions in budget cuts that will undermine the quality of life for most Americans, here's a stunning fact to contemplate: 25 hugely profitable US companies paid their CEOs more last year than they paid Uncle Sam in taxes."

Jim Hightower | Corporate Elites Still Doing a Job on American Workers
http://www.truth-out.org/corporate-elites-still-doing-job-american-workers/1314793830
Jim Hightower, Truthout: "On this Labor Day weekend, our country is engulfed in deep economic anxiety, and no doubt you share my heartfelt concern for those Americans who're suffering the worst of these uncertain times. I refer, of course, to millionaire corporate chieftains and big bankers."

Tea Party Brings Environmental Meltdown to America
http://www.truth-out.org/tea-party-brings-environmental-meltdown-america/1314802067
Dr. Brian Moench, Truthout: "For Tea Party zealots it is impossible to utter, hear, read or write the words 'freedom' and 'liberty' too many times. And, of course, to them, the antithesis of freedom and liberty is the federal government, which they swear they will 'take back.' For them, taking back the government means restoring the freedom to not be able to afford health care, restoring the freedom to be unemployed without any unemployment insurance, restoring the freedom to lose your home to mortgage fraud and your pension to criminal Wall Street bankers. That doesn't sound much like a 'Party' to me; that sounds more like a nightmare."

With 595 Arrested, Pipeline Protests Heat Up
http://www.truth-out.org/595-arrested-pipeline-protests-going-strong/1314810430
Britney Schultz, Truthout: "It is now day 11 of the protests in Washington, DC, against the Keystone XL pipeline, and according to Tar Sands Action, 595 people have been arrested so far for their participation. Environmental author and activist Bill McKibben has called the demonstration 'the largest civil disobedience action in the environmental movement in a generation,' and notes that it is not only the 'usual suspects' who are participating."

Jeffrey D. Sachs | The Economics of Happiness
http://www.truth-out.org/economics-happiness/1314796305
Jeffrey D. Sachs, Project Syndicate: "We live in a time of high anxiety. Despite the world's unprecedented total wealth, there is vast insecurity, unrest, and dissatisfaction. In the United States, a large majority of Americans believe that the country is 'on the wrong track.' Pessimism has soared. The same is true in many other places."

Perry's Iowa Remarks Reveal Republican Strategy on Social Security
http://www.truth-out.org/perrys-iowa-remarks-reveal-republican-strategy-social-security/1314814133
Daniel Marans, Campaign for America's Future: "The media have portrayed Governor Rick Perry's description of Social Security as a 'Ponzi scheme' at a recent Iowa campaign event as the latest extreme statement of an unconventionally candid, conservative presidential candidate. But Perry's full remarks reveal just as much about the Republican Party's strategy for cutting Social Security as they do about Perry himself."

Abuse of Power: Issa's Attacks on the National Labor Relations Board
http://www.truth-out.org/abuse-power-congressman-issas-attacks-national-labor-relations-board/1314723911
Dmitri Iglitzin and Robert Lavitt, Truthout: "In a truly unprecedented attack on federal law enforcement, agents at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), California Rep. Darrell Issa and his Republican allies in the House of Representatives are doing the bidding of corporate elites in an effort to suppress the collective bargaining rights of private-sector workers."

Perry Donor Enabled to Leach Radioactive Waste Into 1.9 Million People's Water
http://www.truth-out.org/perry-hates-regulators-theyre-bad-his-business/1314798796
Joe Conason, Truthout: "Like so many Republican officials of the tea party persuasion, Rick Perry despises the Environmental Protection Agency - a feeling he has expressed repeatedly in speeches, lawsuits, legislation and even a book titled 'Fed Up!' Perhaps that is only natural for the governor of Texas, a 'dirty energy' state where the protection of air, water and human health rank well below the defense of oil company profits for most politicians."

http://www.truth-out.org/hartmann-conversations-w-great-minds-bill-mckibben-350org-part-1/1314796255
Thom Hartmann speaks with author, environmentalist, and activist Bill McKibben in "Conversations with Great Minds." In 1988, he wrote "The End of Nature" - the heir to Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" - and since then has gone on to write more than a dozen notable books about the environment and our human impact on it. He is the co-founder and Chairman of the Board of the grassroots climate campaign 350.org, which has coordinated 15,000 rallies in 189 countries since 2009. In 2010, the Boston Globe called him "the nation's leading environmentalist" and Time magazine described him as "the world's best green journalist." And recently he was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His latest book - "Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet" - is a guide to living on our fundamentally altered planet.


TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES

Two freshmen conservative GOP Congressman believe that what Congress needs is more funeral directors. (http://southerland.house.gov/news-article/memorial-business-journal-two-freshman-congressman-share-funeral-service-roots-urge )

No, this is not an Onion headline; it's from remarks made by a couple of guys who want to strangle the federal government. Maybe then they could make a profit burying it. They were addressing, last March, the National Funeral Directors Association's Advocacy Summit.

Yesterday, BuzzFlash at Truthout highlighted a video clip (http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/12975) of Illinois Republican Congressman Randy Hultgren being unable to answer how the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy could be working if they have resulted in a million jobs being lost over the years that they have been in place.

Hultgren has other things on his mind, such as how more funeral home directors in the Capitol could help America. Along with his fellow frosh, "mortician's kid" Florida Rep. Steve Southerland, Hultgren believes, "We need more funeral directors in Congress."

"If you want to understand a community, then go talk to the funeral director because he understands that community," Hultgren said in the "Memorial Business Journal." "Growing up in a funeral home is a wonderful training ground for serving in Congress - understanding that people are making sacrifices to run businesses to serve the people in your community."

Southerland declared - and we are not making this up: "Everything I learned on how to run for Congress I learned in the lobby of Southerland Family Funeral Homes." He rallied the March gathering of mortuary directors: "What we need in all levels of government - local, state and federal - is you funeral directors to broaden your horizon and your understanding of what you have."

Hultgren and Southerland may not understand the harmful impact of excessive tax cuts for the wealthy on our economy, but they surely will know how to put the federal government six feet under.
