(Some WFMU type put together a version of NWA's Straight Outta Compton that consisted only of the bleeped part - "fuck fuck mothafucka shit" etc - it's pretty great.) The FCC is hinting that they'll treat euphemisms (e.g., "the f-word") as the equivalent of the original, too. Doug

14688 [lbo-talk] GS on CA-50 -- rank: 1000
DAILY FINANCIAL MARKET COMMENT 06/07/06 Goldman Sachs Economics * The result of yesterday's special Congressional election in the San Diego area bolsters our view that Democrats will pick up seats in both the House and Senate this autumn, but remain shy of majorities in both chambers. * While former Rep. Brian Bilbray's (R-CA) margin of victory was narrower than normal in this Republican leaning district, it was wider than what had been thought only a week ago when some predicted an upset ...

14689 [lbo-talk] indecency -- rank: 1000
Yesterday, the House passed the Senate version of the "Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act" by a 379-35 vote, following its unanimous passage by the Senate. It raises from $32,500 to $325,000 the maximum fine that the FCC can impose for violating "decency" standards - and the violators themselves will be subject to the same fines (previously it was just the station). There are some minor inconsistencies to be worked out between the two bills, but it's now certain to beco ...

14692 [lbo-talk] Henry "Hank" Paulson's Treasury -- rank: 1000
<http://www.thenation.com/doc/20060619/prins> Henry Paulson's Treasury by NOMI PRINS [posted online on June 6, 2006] In the coverage of President Bush's nomination of Henry J. "Hank" Paulson to replace John Snow as Treasury Secretary, I've lost count of the number of mainstream media discussing the "well-worn path" between Goldman Sachs and official Washington. But just because a road is well traveled doesn't mean it leads in the right direction. Tapping officials f ...

Not even Judith Butler holds that position. She does say it's always important to ask why biology is being invoked, which can be a very fruitful question. Doug

Hey, I used to bash liberals with glee. Now it seems like reciting the old high school cheers. The very fact that they feel the need to "revive" that sort of liberalism is proof that it barely exists today, if at all. The "left" of the ...

Classic 30s to 60s liberalism is dead. This anti-liberalism would make sense when there was serious political unrest, and liberals were trying to co-opt the radical potential of the moment, but that ain't the case these days. Doug

I think SB is mostly post hoc stories invented to shore up the status quo in the guise of science, but isn't the standard line that men want to be sure any kids are theirs and not some other guy's, or they won't stick arou ...

New York Daily News - June 5, 2006 More workers axed for E-mails BY LORE CROGHAN DAILY NEWS BUSINESS WRITER When in doubt, leave it out - especially concerning E-mails.

A third of employers in the study sacked staffers in the past year for violating workplace E-mail policies. That's up from about one in four last year. "People don't see ...
