Rick Perry’s Scary Christianist Connection

Missed this interview on NPR’s Fresh Air, 08/24/11. “An emerging Christian movement that seeks to take dominion over politics, business and culture in preparation for the end times and the return of Jesus.” Visit http://www.npr.org/2011/08/24/139781021/the-evangelicals-engaged-in-spiritual-warfare to read or listen.
Thanks to Jeff who pointed it out.

 

 

 

Bush Tax Cuts Result in Slowest Growth Since WW II

Check out Keith Olbermann’s interview with Jeff Madrick author of “Age of Greed.”  The economist claims that the Bush tax cuts resulted in the slowest economic and job growth since the end of World War II. So why do Republicans continue to sing the worn out song of tax cuts?

Americans Elect 2012

Last night (08-22-11) saw an interesting story on PBS NewsHour on Americans Elect 2012. Looks like a group of progressives — one former Clinton advisor and an Iraq war vet — serving up an online nominating process for the 2012 U.S. presidential election as an alternative to the traditional process. Interesting. Although, they’ve not yet released their big donor list. www.americanselect.org
