61 [lbo-talk] Signing online petitions.... -- rank: 1000

I signed several hard copy petitions at the Capitol in Madison over the last few days, and as with 99%, i don't think the targets of them give them much credence. I would surmise the same for online petitions. The only petition these type of people pay attention to are when it can have a direct impact on them, like getting signatures for a recall.

63 [lbo-talk] Walker cutting off internet access? -- rank: 1000

I am here at the Capitol. Jesse Jackson just spoke... I was using my 3G so I didnt notice if the wifi was down, and now I am eating lunch, but I will check when I go back... Seems a silly ing to do because so many have cellular connections it really wouldn't help to block wifi.

65 [lbo-talk] Wisconsin public servants already face a compensation penalty -- rank: 1000

http://www.epi.org/economic_snapshots/entry/wisconsin_public_servants_already_face_a_compensation_penalty/ Wisconsin public servants already face a compensation penalty Ethan Pollack February 18, 2011 The campaign against state and local workers is often justified with claims that they are privileged relative to their private-sector peers or have somehow been cushioned from the effects of the recent recession and slow recovery. These claims are clearly false. In Wisconsin, which has become a foc ...

67 [lbo-talk] Michael Moore's Leaked Citibank Plutonomy Memo -- rank: 1000

68 [lbo-talk] getting back to criticism -- rank: 1000

How is Elephant 6 a New York thing? It's an Athens, Georgia thing if anything. As to how NMH became such a cult hit, I don't know, but though it is simple and not mind blowing, it's pretty good, has an interesting ethereal aesthetics. What's the problem with it?

69 [lbo-talk] Billy Joel -- rank: 1000

Have you noticed that there is an inverse relationship between the quality of music people are listening to and how loud they play it in their car and/or iPod so that everyone around can hear it?

75 [lbo-talk] Chomsky regards himself as a supporter of Israel -- rank: 1000

Regardless of what I would ideally wish to happen here, and the fact that Israel by continuing to expand its infrastructure and civilian population into the occupied Palestinian territories, making a form of de facto one state... control over the territory, exclusion of the population... one does have to face up to the likely reality of what would occur in a de jure one state scenario. The amount animosity and distrust between the populations being what it is, and would continue for a while to c ...
