I'm so sorry. I don't what kind of accident it was, but as someone who has had to deal with these things, my heart goes out to you.

2 [lbo-talk] "Obamanomics: The Final Nail In the Discredited Keynesian Coffin" -- rank: 1000

You are all right...there is no way to logically reason with these people, and I usually don't even get into it, but when it is a relative, I somehow feel compelled. I should just let it pass over me and not hit my head against a thick wall of nonsense.

Hey Jordan, Yes, I have already for years lived with his extremely vocal ignorance. I guess you'll just have to live with your cousin's ignorance. /jordan

Yah, true... Sorry. I agree, but except for the inflation piece, there wasn't much in the way of countering data. Thanks...

One of my rare Tea Party Libertarian loving cousins sent me this article and the data about real growth rates during the Reagan period and Supply Side Economics compared to the post war period up to the 1970's seems wrong from what i have heard, but i don't have the data to back this up and poke holes in this argument... Anyone care to take a stab at it? Thanks, Bryan http://www.forbes.com/sites/peterferrara/2012/07/12/obamanomics-the-final-nail-in-the-discredited-keynesian-coffin/3/ Keynesian e ...

8 [lbo-talk] White Flight counties surrounding Milwaukee were strongest Walker supporters -- rank: 1000

I was looking at a map showing the voting percentages by county in Wisconsin. It is interesting that if you look at which counties in Wisconsin were the highest percentage Walker supporters, it WASN'T the rural areas of central and northern Wisconsin. It was Washington, Waukesha and Ozaukee counties (all with over 70% pro Walker votes)....all of which are the counties directly surrounding Milwaukee county, more or less the White Flight counties...A lot of them even work in Milwaukee but live in ...

9 [lbo-talk] Maybe Zionists should rethink their new honesty-is-the-best-policy policy -- rank: 1000

No, he does say "white people" at the end, I was just truncating, because I was talking about the ways to translate the part in question. Look, I am in no way trying to minimize what an ass Yishai is, and he is still saying "us white people," which is absurd because many Israelis wouldn't put him in that category and many Jewish Israelis are not white....so who the hell is the "us" he is talking about.... but the translation in Reuters is quite bad. In fact, you wou ...

10 [lbo-talk] Maybe Zionists should rethink their new honesty-is-the-best-policy policy -- rank: 1000

Actually, on closer reading, though Eli Yishai is still a disgusting person, I DON'T think that is the appropriate translation of what he was saying (and he says some other putrid accusations in the article, for instance about African immigrants and AIDS). He says: "Most of the people that come here are Muslims who think that the country in no way belongs to us, the white people." Or you could translate it as: "who think that the country doesn't belong to us at all..." But he ...

Yah, I double checked the original Hebrew in the Ma'ariv interview and he really said exactly that. This from a man of Tunisian heritage in a Mizrahi political party...the history of the Israeli establishment's racism against the Mizrahim must be clear to him on some level. the irony of his statement would be humorous if it wasn't such a disgustingly sad context.

14 [lbo-talk] On the Zombie Apocalypse -- rank: 1000

All I know is that Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" graphic novel is definitely worth a read. A few years ago, someone recommended it to me...so I looked at it. It is just inked in black and white and I thought zombie crap has been done and overdone...what could possibly be interesting about a black and white comic about zombies...yawn. Then I started reading it and it has some of the best character development and storytelling of any graphic novel out there. And the minimalist inki ...

Yah, Shamir is a complete whack job. Years ago, I would always see (and hear) him at israeli political and anti-occupation meetings in Tel Aviv, but he eventually stopped coming when the Israeli Left activists realized that he was mentally disturbed. That was just about the time I began to see him come up and be referenced and published in international Left publications and discussions of Israel/Palestine issues (I guess he saw he wasn't able to sway the local activists who were in the know, so ...
