Wow. Via Naked Capitalism comes this story: communities (in the U.S.A.!) forming networks that print their own money for use inside their networks — good for groceries, oil changes, yoga classes, babysitting . . . how strange and troubling.

BAGHDAD – A car bomb in a Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad killed at least nine people and wounded 18 others on Tuesday, a day after a deadly wave of bombings swept the Iraqi capital and raised concerns that Iraqi forces were ill-prepared to secure the city as U.S. troops thin out.

Working with victims can seem to drain the life from your soul, but we just can’t let it. Innocent people will just *fall thru the cracks*.

Estimated U.S. taxpayer cost for bailout jumps

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. congressional budget analysts have raised their estimate of the net cost to taxpayers for the government’s financial rescue program to $356 billion, an increase of $167 billion from earlier estimates.

The Congressional Budget Office had originally projected the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program would cost taxpayers $189 billion.

CVS Signs On With Google Health To Offer Comprehensive Pharmacy History

April 6, 2009

The slow but steady march towards a unified online healthcare management system continues. Google has announced that it has forged a new partnership with CVS, one of the nation’s largest pharmacy chains, allowing CVS customers to import their full prescription history into Google Health. CVS joins other major pharmacies including Longs Drugs and Walgreens in offering the same functionality, which combined now allow over 100 million Americans to import their medical histories into Google Health, which launched last May.

Of course, a central hub for your prescription history is only really useful if you can import all of your prescriptions, not just most of them. And Google Health is still missing out on a few major players, including national store chains like Wal-Mart and Target. Google won’t comment on who they’re currently in talks with, but I suspect they’re trying to get as many of these chains on board as possible.

Just wanted to give a little good news this morning. Vermont became the 4th state to legalize Gay Marriage…. I think this is great… Another triumph of the separation of church and state…

Re: Murphy’s post #20….

What is going on is total misogyny and racism gone amuck. The fucking devil is in charge and he hates women and white people and those who put him there love it because they are draining the resources such that when the well runs dry we will have a class war, among other things, and those in the upper echelons, who will use their ill gotten gains to protect themselves, will come back as the ruling class. The rest of us are just totally and absolutely fucked.

I read yesterday where Warren Buffet owns 35 companies who are scheduled to receive MULTI-MILLIONS of dollars in stimulation….WILL THE BUY OFF’S NEVER END???? And, more importantly, when will WOMEN, WHITE PEOPLE, AMERICANS WHO DID NOT DRINK THE FUCKING KOOL AID, and the MIDDLE CLASS band together and end the insanity. If not now, if not soon, it will be too late….

And Murphy I LOVE your post about not backing down from saying FUCK ISLAM.

Obama Makes Unannounced Visit to Iraq
By STEVEN LEE MYERS and HELENE COOPER 1 minute ago
Punctuating his week-long overseas trip, President Obama arrived on Tuesday in Baghdad, where he plans to talk to American troops and Iraqi leaders.
—————–
Nice of oboypimp to pay a surprise visit to those ’selfish and crass’ women and men fighting to fill the coffers of the US power elite.

tillerylakelady…I dunno. Obama was raised a Muslim by his stepdad, but I think he’s more the atheist, like his mom. He just doesn’t give a crap one way or the other. It’s all a power play to him, and whatever expedites his own goals.

Vermont passed gay marriage in their state and overruled the GOvernor’s veto power.

Oh, they released the poor mentally disturbed man they used as a prop in the fake “Obama assassination plot” story. Poor thing doesn’t even get the help he needs, just thrown back onto the street. Meanwhile, they admit Obama was never in any danger…the man was thrown back onto the street before Obama even got there. The Obama regime has learned from the Bush fake stories very well…like that Bush era “plot” to blow up buildings they blamed on those poor morons in Florida. They needed to pretend they were “catching” terrorists, for a fake news story, so they duped these morons in Florida into playing the role, tho they had absolutely no brain power, no viable plan, let alone the explosives needed. Manufactured “news” to prop up lame “leaders.” How long is this formula going to work?

Suspected Obama Plotter Detained, Released in Turkey
By VOA News
07 April 2009

Turkish authorities said they detained a man in Istanbul last week on suspicion of plotting to kill visiting U.S. President Barack Obama.

 A Turkish official said Tuesday the man was deemed mentally disturbed and released shortly after he was taken into custody. The arrest occurred Friday, two days before Mr. Obama even arrived in Turkey.
 U.S. Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said Mr. Obama was never in any immediate danger.

Dances…EXCELLENT POINT and my time restraint is no excuse for forgetting others…and my point about mentioning WHITE PEOPLE is that leaders and those in charge are painting us as devils (thank god I don’t have blue eyes) and all I can say is African countries ARE THE WORST as far as human rights…

GM has slashed product-development programs, advertising and spending on auto-show events. But it will take to the streets of Manhattan on Tuesday to show off a prototype of the vehicle, called PUMA , for Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility.

This Obama bowing to the Saudia King really must have Rudy Guilanni’s head exploding.

When the Saudia Royals came to NY to visit the site of the destruction of their “arrogant, selfish, crass” terrorist citizens and they handed Rudy a million check.
Rudy said Get the Fuck out of town.

Fast forward we have our POTUS bowing before their King and calling Americans who lived and continue to live with their nightmare arrogant, selfish and crass”

Heads should be exploding but the MSM media is calling his tour a “Victory for American” .followed by how gracious and elegant Michele the “America is a mean country” Obama is.

I am having a hard time following along. Did I miss something?

I rode on an upright Segway, owned by a campus cop. It was great. Sitting in one of these would be strange, and they go wacky when hitting a bump or on uneven pavement. They will have to make it better under these conditions or there will be PUMAs causing lots of trouble.

FL Barbara….well, it is confusing, isn’t it? The terrorists on the planes were Saudis. But Bush attacked Iraq instead. That is, after he hustled bin Laden’s family safely out of the US (while domestic flights were still grounded) and held the Saudi prince’s hand. Don’t forget also…Jim Baker, Bush’s point man for the 2000 Election theft, defended Saudis against American victims seeking justice.

This is just more of the same and I am sick of coddling Saudis. I always was. Did you know they make our female soldiers cover up overseas so as not to offend the (barf) sensibilities of these Saudi pigs?

BillieJo, You do not shed tears alone.

Off to fantasize some more as to how we can figure out a way to bring non-religious, Christian, Muslim, and, Jewish women together (and the press) to fight against the killing and mutilating of women.

Do we fight to help women and leave religion out of it? Or do we fight for women and confront the historic oppression at the same time? Or do we try to convince women that all patriarchal religions suck first.

gay gal 04.07.09 at 1:35 pm All the above?

Bummer. I vote for 2.

I vote: We fight for women and confront the historic oppression at the same time.

Now tell me how and be specific.

In my desperation, i put together a short commentary with Philip Yon’s background music track “Worlds Apart” to say what i have to say about women’s rights and how this world will never be free until all women are free. YOu can find it here if you choose to listen

http://www.myspace.com/carollowerystyles

it’s the second song in my player there

I think the act of “burning” or “mutilating” or “killing” these texts is the confrontation of the historic oppression within itself. The visible action is the fight.

“Now tell me how and be specific.”

Dang, Dances is so scary this way!

Late 60s/early 70s, I was in a class that was 3/4 policemen. That’s where I learned that they carry “CYA” unmarked guns to plant at a scene where they’ve shot suspected perptrators.
Since is was a semi-rural area, they also carried a small amount of deer flesh… they would walk around your car and leave the flesh on the bumper or fender. This gave them an excuse to search the vehicle. Also, “Okay, you want to get out of the car?” is a question, not an order. You can refuse (albeit at your own peril).

DancesWithPumas 04.07.09 at 1:49 pm LMAO @ “tell me how.”

DancesWithPerkies

lollol

Your wording does make sense, HP. I just disagree. If they say we “hate religion” because you burn a historic text of the oppression, that is backlash. Even in saying “Islam Sucks” or saying “Christianity, Judaism, and Islam sucks” it will and is said we “hate religion”. That is a given. What I don’t hear people saying is that “Christian women suck. Jewish Women suck. Muslim women suck. Non-religious women suck.” That is progress in my view.

are you kidding me? The freaks are still stalking us? I’m actually beginning to feel sorry for them. Seriously feeling sorry for them. Poor souls.

Cool. I think we are saying the same thing. Either way without visible actions in the streets or our actions on the blog, they will say we “hate”

Better to be inclusive

So does this mean, no more “Islam Sucks. Christianity Sucks. Judaism sucks.” on the blog? So we are focusing on the vigilant task to prove it in educating others to the atrocities that are happening to women, no matter whether they are non-religious or are women of faith?

We can talk of hate and peoples love of their faith…it is fine we are different but a cohesive group.

Oh, if I have learned anything on this blog, and I have internalized a lot, it was that Karen W or some other religious women were going to say we said “hate” whether we did or not.

I do not hear at all that we “hate” religious women. I hear the hand of inclusiveness of women of faith and those that are not. Either way, burning a religious text or saying “Religion Sucks” is an attention crapper for the sake of all women educating themselves to that which oppresses.

Hi Pumas:

Been here for days reading and catching up. I’m not much into

WHAT the HELL have they done to HELP the world???

anyone know???—At least I have Jesus, and some good stories, if
nothing else, and he’s the most prominent religious figure I am
aware of.

speak up moutain, your good with this stuff,

Of is the answer just NOTHING??

freedom FROM religion.

The gym in question was in Michigan, but everywhere they are trying to force gyms to comply with their own stupid restrictions. Now male students in Harvard are barred from their own gym in the hours these prima Islamists need the gym to themselves. Why don’t the mosques provide gym equipment if it’s that important?

btw, on the T in Boston there is this ad called Islam 101. It’s a mosque offering informational sessions. Separate sessions for men and women, naturally. Oh, not only that….separate rooms, too. Women meet on the “lower level.” No doubt.

Guess what? That alone tells me all I need to know.

HARVARD??? now, I know all I need to know.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, what else could it be??

lol, HP. yes, we will start a Harpy religion. It’s our “cultural difference” to hound chauvenists. It’s what we do.

The question that flummoxed the great orator

John Crace
The Guardian, Friday 3 April 2009
Barack Obama, the World’s Greatest Orator (™all news organisations), didn’t exactly cover himself in glory when the BBC’s political editor Nick Robinson asked him a question about who was to blame for the financial crisis. Normally word perfect, Obama ummed, ahed and waffled for the best part of two and a half minutes. Here, John Crace decodes what he was really thinking …

Nick Robinson: “A question for you both, if I may. The prime minister has repeatedly blamed the United States of America for causing this crisis. France and Germany both blame Britain and America for causing this crisis. Who is right? And isn’t the debate about that at the heart of the debate about what to do now?” Brown immediately swivels to leave Obama in pole position. There is a four-second delay before Obama starts speaking [THANKS FOR NOTHING, GORDY BABY. REMIND ME TO HANG YOU OUT TO DRY ONE DAY.] Barack Obama: “I, I, would say that, er … pause [I HAVEN'T A CLUE] … if you look at … pause [WHO IS THIS NICK ROBINSON JERK?] … the, the sources of this crisis … pause [JUST KEEP GOING, BUDDY] … the United States certainly has some accounting to do with respect to . . . pause [I'M IN WAY TOO DEEP HERE] … a regulatory system that was inadequate to the massive changes that have taken place in the global financial system … pause, close eyes [THIS IS GOING TO GO DOWN LIKE A CROCK OF SHIT BACK HOME. HELP]. I think what is also true is that … pause [I WANT NICK ROBINSON TO DISAPPEAR] … here in Great Britain … pause [SHIT, GORDY'S THE HOST, DON'T LAND HIM IN IT] … here in continental Europe … pause [DAMN IT, BLAME EVERYONE.] … around the world. We were seeing the same mismatch between the regulatory regimes that were in place and er … pause [I'VE LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT AGAIN] … the highly integrated, er, global capital markets that have emerged … pause [I'M REALLY WINGING IT NOW]. So at this point, I’m less interested in … pause [YOU] … identifying blame than fixing the problem. I think we’ve taken some very aggressive steps in the United States to do so, not just responding to the immediate crisis, ensuring banks are adequately capitalised, er, dealing with the enormous, er … pause [WHY DIDN'T I QUIT WHILE I WAS AHEAD?] … drop-off in demand and contraction that has taken place. More importantly, for the long term, making sure that we’ve got a set of, er, er, regulations that are up to the task, er, and that includes, er, a number that will be discussed at this summit. I think there’s a lot of convergence between all the parties involved about the need, for example, to focus not on the legal form that a particular financial product takes or the institution it emerges from, but rather what’s the risk involved, what’s the function of this product and how do we regulate that adequately, much more effective coordination, er, between countries so we can, er, anticipate the risks that are involved there. Dealing with the, er, problem of derivatives markets, making sure we have set up systems, er, that can reduce some of the risks there. So, I actually think … pause [FANTASTIC. I'VE LOST EVERYONE, INCLUDING MYSELF] … there’s enormous consensus that has emerged in terms of what we need to do now and, er … pause [I'M OUTTA HERE. TIME FOR THE USUAL CLOSING BOLLOCKS] … I’m a great believer in looking forwards than looking backwards.

I could not come up with an answer to your question #182

So I phoned a friend an expert on Islam and asked her. She is in hiding she spoke out against Islam and they want to kill her.
Anyway after she picked herself off the floor she said” If Obama believes the Islamic faith has or seeks to shape the US for the better. He should read factual history, he doesn’t have to go back very far in order to do so just till Sept 11,2001″ to proceed with his presidency with that belief is dangerous”
