8794 [lbo-talk] Jello nominates me -- rank: 1000
<http://www.civilianism.com/gate/?p=742> OPEN LETTER TO BARACK OBAMA By Jello Biafra ... So far your own economic team seems alarmingly slanted toward the robber barons who helped create this mess in the first place. Where is Joseph Stiglitz? Where is Robert Reich? Are we still all in this together? Your Economic Advisory Council is supposed to be a council, not a choir! You say you want a support staff that debate and give you diverse ideas. So even if you do not agree with them, how abou ...

8796 [lbo-talk] environmental responsibility -- rank: 1000
Yeah, I know it's all systemic, and not a matter of individual behavior, but the high-minded publishing firm that I rent office space from, The New Press, is running the air conditioning today, when it's 13 degrees out in NYC. The reason? Parts of the office are "stuffy." They do this year-round, but today it seems unusually egregious. When the water's up around our ankles, we'll know whom to blame. Doug

Salant Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The 30-second television spot opens with a picture of Chicago s skyline and a mug shot of an allegedly corrupt governor. Then another photo bleeds onto the screen of a labor union boss with ties to the politician. It may sound like a preview for the latest mobster-inspired drama. Instead, the co ...

The rewards came even at banks where poor results last year foretold the economic crisis that sent them to Washington for a government rescue.
