Top Air Force Official Issues Religious Neutrality Policy in Wake of Truthout's "Jesus Loves Nukes" Expose
http://www.truth-out.org/aftermath-jesus-loves-nukes-scandal/1316010154
Jason Leopold, Truthout: "A top US Air Force official took significant steps Tuesday to ensure the Air Force is not seen as being pious by issuing policy guidelines to Air Force personnel that calls on 'leaders at all levels' to take immediate steps to maintain 'government neutrality regarding religion.'"
The Terrorism Issue That Wasn't Discussed
http://www.truth-out.org/terrorism-issue-wasnt-discussed/1316009285
Gareth Porter, CounterPunch: "In the commentary on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, the news and infotainment media have predictably framed the discussion by the question of how successful the CIA and the military have been in destroying al Qaeda. Absent from the torrent of opinion and analysis was any mention of how the US military occupation of Muslim lands and wars that continue to kill Muslim civilians fuel jihadist sentiment that will keep the threat of terrorism high for many years to come."
Soaring Poverty Casts Spotlight on "Lost Decade"
http://www.truth-out.org/soaring-poverty-casts-spotlight-lost-decade/1316023668
Sabrina Tavernise, The New York Times News Service: "Another 2.6 million people slipped into poverty in the United States last year, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday, and the number of Americans living below the official poverty line, 46.2 million people, was the highest number in the 52 years the bureau has been publishing figures on it."
Guess What? It Is Cheaper to Use Federal Government Employees Than Contractor Employees
http://www.truth-out.org/guess-what-it-cheaper-use-federal-government-employees-contractor-employees/1315928973
Dina Rasor, Truthout: "Having looked at federal government contracting for 30 years, I have heard over and over again that government employees make too much money and that the service contractor employees are cheaper. The mantra has been repeated that the government workers are bad, ineffective and expensive and that the federal government would do better to hire service contractor workers to do more and more of the government's work. This belief that the 'free market' will always do better than the government at any task has increased over the years until each president since Reagan has taken it as a given."
GOP Gains House Seat Vacated by Weiner
http://www.truth-out.org/gop-gains-house-seat-vacated-weiner/1316007527
Thomas Kaplan, The New York Times News Service: "A little-known Republican businessman from Queens, channeling voter discontent with President Obama into an upset, won election to Congress on Tuesday from the heavily Democratic district in New York City last represented by Anthony D. Weiner. The Republican, Bob Turner, a retired cable television executive, defeated Assemblyman David I. Weprin, the scion of a prominent Democratic family in Queens, in a nationally watched special election."
Elizabeth Warren Announces Senate Run
http://www.truth-out.org/elizabeth-warren-announce-senate-run/1316009005
Britney Schultz, Truthout: "Consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren officially threw her hat into the Senate ring this morning, according to her spokesman, Kyle Sullivan. Running as a first-time candidate and Democrat, the Harvard Law professor will be challenging Massachusetts Republican incumbent Scott Brown. 'The pressures on middle class families are worse than ever, but it is the big corporations that get their way in Washington,' Warren said in a statement. 'I want to change that. I will work my heart out to earn the trust of the people of Massachusetts.'"
Dean Baker: Why Didn't We Make These Guys Run Around Naked With Their Underpants Over Their Heads?
http://www.truth-out.org/dean-baker-why-didnt-we-make-these-guys-run-around-naked-their-underpants-over-their-heads/131585621
Keane Bhatt, Truthout: "Economist Dean Baker is co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy (CEPR) in Washington, DC. In his most recent book, 'The End of Loser Liberalism: Making Markets Progressive,' Baker argues that the market is politically structured to ensure that income flows upward. He provides a range of strategies to reframe economic debates and offers proposals to reshape the economy to serve the interests of the majority of the population instead of a small elite. The book is available to be downloaded for free at CEPR's web site."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Congressional Budget Office Warns Gang of 12 Super Committee That Nation Is on Verge of Another Recession, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news-thom-hartmann-congressional-budget-office-warns-gang-12-super-committee-nation-verge-another-re
In today's On the News segment: The Congressional Budget Office warned Gang of 12 Super Committee yesterday that the nation is on the verge of another recession - and the Gang of 12's actions could make it worse, Senate Democrats overcame a Republican filibuster and passed a $7 billion disaster relief package for victims of hurricane Irene, Georgia is on the verge of executing a potentially innocent man, American Family Voices filed a formal ethics complaint against Congressman Darryl Issa on Tuesday - accusing him of numerous conflicts of interest, and more.
Obama's "Jobs Act" Proposal: Why Less Is More of the Same
http://www.truth-out.org/obamas-jobs-act-proposal-why-less-more-same/1315923699
Jack Rasmus, Truthout: "On Thursday, September 8, President Obama proposed a $474 billion 'Jobs Act.' What we got from Obama was a 2009 'Stimulus Light' proposal, with all the problems of the prior 2009 stimulus package in the form of inadequate magnitude of spending, wrong composition and targets and bad timing. First, on the matter of the magnitude of spending in the proposal, some think it was bold. But put it in context; $447 billion just won't achieve the job creation it claims."
The Uncertain Future of Pennsylvania's Dream Act Legislation
http://www.truth-out.org/uncertain-future-pennsylvanias-dream-act-legislation/1315846955
Kyle Bella, Truthout: "On June 20, 2011, Pennsylvania State Rep. Tony Payton Jr. (D-Philadelphia) introduced the Pennsylvania Dream Act, HB 1695, which mirrors the failed national-level bill that would have granted undocumented youth in-tuition rates at public universities. If the bill is passed, Pennsylvania would become the 12th state, following the recent Illinois passage, to sign such legislation."

Jim Hightower | Let's Get Real on Jobs
http://www.truth-out.org/lets-get-real-jobs/1316020382
Jim Hightower, Truthout: "You know what's wrong with the American economy, Bucko? You, that's what. Yeah, yeah, it's true that the reckless global gambling schemes of Wall Street bankers are what wrecked our economy - and, yes, Congress and the Federal Reserve have used trillions of our public dollars to bail out miscreant bankers, while ignoring the plight of people like you whose jobs, businesses, homes and middle-class incomes have been devastated by banker greed. And, sure, it's also true that corporations are hoarding $2 trillion in cash and getting billions of dollars a year in subsidies from taxpayers like you, yet refusing to hire Americans or to make job-creating investments in our country."
Michael Winship | A Decade of Memorials Squandered?
http://www.truth-out.org/decade-memorials-squandered/1316013660
Michael Winship, Truthout: "A long time ago, I helped produce for public television an annual year's end interview with New York City Mayor Ed Koch. We always shot it in a private room at Windows on the World, the restaurant on top of the north tower of the World Trade Center, with a spectacular view toward the Empire State Building. From that height, at the end of a sunny winter's day you could see the lengthened shadows of the two towers stretch diagonally all the way across lower Manhattan, up and east to Stuyvesant Town."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
The latest Republican plan to steal a presidential election may just work.
In Pennsylvania, according to Mother Jones, (http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/09/gop-electoral-college-plan-beat-obama-2012) a plan is brewing to allocate the state's electoral votes by Congressional districts. Since Pennsylvania is gerrymandered to favor the election of Republican Congressional representatives, Obama could win the popular vote there, but lose the state in the Electoral College.
Given that the Pennsylvania legislature and the governorship are all controlled by the GOP, this is a law that has good odds of being passed.
With the precedent of Republican-controlled states using pretty much model templates of legislation to put barriers in the way of Democratic voting groups, it is extremely possible that the Pennsylvania electoral delegate plan will be proposed and enacted in other states where the GOP is in charge.
The Democrats have little recourse. "Nor is there anything obviously illegal or unconstitutional about the GOP plan," Mother Jones notes. "'The Constitution is pretty silent on how the electors are chosen in each state,' says Karl Manheim, a law professor at Loyola University in Los Angeles."
After the stolen election of 2000, which led to a lost decade of national decline for America, it is painful to think that a Democrat may win the popular vote but lose the presidency due to political chicanery with the electoral vote allocation.
But this robbery of democracy might just very well occur in plain sight.
