34696 Congratulations on Doug's counterspin appearance -- rank: 1000
Trevor Desjarlais wrote: >Great appearance on CNC counterspin with Avi Lewis. Your opponents >were a bit tongue tied to say the least. Why thanks. Wasn't sure how I did, though it helped to have the host on my side. The E*Trade woman was pretty weak, and they could have gotten a much more wacko New Economy raver than Daniel Pink, for sure. Like Larry Kudlow, who was their second choice. It's extremely odd to sit in front of a camera in a small studio with only the woman behind the camera f ...

34697 working class civil society (wasRe: Class Ceiling--Ehrenreich) -- rank: 1000
Barbara Ehrenreich writes well and very intelligently, has a class critique of bourgeois feminism (as well as a feminist critique of nonfeminism), and has enjoyed some degree of popular success. I'd say that makes her someone to be cherished, but I guess to some it's proof she's just not hardass enough. Ah well, to each his or her own. Doug

Charles Brown wrote: >CB: When fascistic racists make a speech at a rally or to any >audience , their purpose is to persuade the audience to act >according to what they are saying, n'est-ce pas ? Actually, don't most "fascistic racists" these days try to act respectable, and deny they're flaming bigots? Most of them want to separate the "races," not elminate the "inferior" ones. They've learned the langauge of multiculturalism very well. Doug

34701 China & the AFL-CIO -- rank: 1000
[This comes from a friend who wishes to remain anonymosu who's covered the AFL-CIO/China stuff. Persuades me.] Yes, absolutely I'm nervous about this, on three fronts. First, the Trumka/Patterson strategy on using 'working capital' to influence how funds invest their money has been very slow to get off the ground because of the AFL's top-heavy centralized management style, where everything is decided by Sweeney's central committee. Plus Patterson himself is one of these control freaks who can't ...

[Larry "Africa is vastly underpolluted" Summers weighs in on the Meltzer report. I love the "anti-elitist" defense of the IMF. "Transparency" is the polite way of saying other countries should adopt U.S.-style financial and governance structures. Word is that Summers writes these things all by himself.] Financial Times - March 23, 2000 PERSONAL VIEW: THE TROUBLING ASPECTS OF IMF REFORM Allowing the institution to serve only an elite club of nations would be a mistak ...
