Obama's JOB Act Sucks
by Matt Taibbi
Link
The "Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act" will very nearly legalize fraud in the stock market.
In fact, one could say this law is not just a sweeping piece of deregulation that will have an increase
in securities fraud as an accidental, ancillary consequence. No, this law actually appears to have been
specifically written to encourage fraud in the stock markets.
Ostensibly, the law makes it easier for startup companies (particularly tech companies, whose lobbyists
were a driving force behind its passage) attract capital by, among other things, exempting them from
independent accounting requirements for up to five years after they start selling shares in the stock market.
The law also rolls back rules designed to prevent bank analysts from talking up a stock just to win business,
a practice that was so pervasive in the tech-boom years as to be almost industry standard.
Even worse, the JOBS Act, incredibly, will allow executives to give "pre-prospectus" presentations to investors
using PowerPoint and other tools in which they will not be held liable for misrepresentations. These firms
will still be obligated to submit prospectuses before their IPOs, and they'll still be held liable for what's in those.
But it'll be up to the investor to check and make sure that the prospectus matches the "pre-presentation."
I don't know Bush about stock legalities but why exempt anybody from independent accounting?
IF Matt's telling the truth, he's right - that's a license to steal.

Putting the 'Bag on Lugar
He's not teabag enough for the New GOP
Link
The lead story in the morning paper had delivered just the latest kick in the shins to Dick Lugar in the
hottest Senate primary in the country. “Like many Senate Republicans who have spent a few decades
in Washington,” it said, “Lugar was for the individual health mandate before he was against it.”
Ouch.
After 35 years in office, Lugar — who opposed the Affordable Health care Act and supports the Keystone
Pipeline but doesn’t pound on Obama — is polling just ahead of Mourdock, 42 to 35 percent. But that
difference is within the margin of error, and the race is considered a tossup.
Lugar, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is a gentleman of the old school,
referring to the Affordable Care Act as “so-called Obamacare” in campaign speeches and even correctly
identifying Harry Reid as a member of the Democratic, rather than “Democrat” Party. At a time when
Republicans routinely insist on denying Democrats that courtesy, hearing the proper usage from a
thug's lips is a reminder of how unusual it has become.
I told the Democrats YEARS ago how to solve that "Democrat party" shit, but our Democrats
would rather bend over and beg for another than get involved with "confrontation."
No wonder polls say men won't
vote for a Democrat.

Subject: Pussy Texans?
C'mon, Bartman,
That idiot is in a out of the way corner of Henderson County near the Trinity River.
He ain't going anywhere.
The local Sheriff doesn't want to assault the compound, putting his deputies in jeopardy,
or possibly killing any family members on the compound.
We Texans remember the last compound assault in Waco, and contrary to what outsiders think of us,
we don't want a police state anymore than you.
That area of the county has a lot of bunker buddies, looking to make a 'name for themselves.'
No use in encouraging them. One can't deal with a crazy man.
If he sets foot off the property, he'll never get out of jail.
Randy, a vet, a progressive and a patriot.
I get that, but allowing a person or a group of group of people to say "screw you"
to the law is a very bad thing.
What do you do when a second group says, "We also claim that same exemption?"
What if six of those yahoos, armed-to-the-teeth, come into town for supplies?
Do you arrest them and risk a bloodbath?
What if two of them, lightly armed, come into town for liquor and ammunition?
Do you arrest them and risk a bloodbath?
One thing's for sure: A "religious compound" means "I'm raping the women folk because
my freedom of religion says I can, so I'll hide behind Jesus and you can go to hell."
Who knows what victims remain unrescued by the justice system's failure to act?
Pesticides are Killing the Bees
Link
A controversial new study of honeybee deaths has deepened a bitter dispute over whether the developed
world's most popular pesticides are causing an ecological catastrophe.
Researchers led by biologist Chensheng Lu of Harvard University report a direct link between hive health
and dietary exposure to imidacloprid, a so-called neonicotinoid pesticide linked to colony collapse disorder,
the mysterious and massive die-off of bees across North America and Europe.
The study isn't without critics, who say doses used in the study may be unrealistically high. But the level
of a realistic dose is also a matter of controversy, and even critics say the findings are troubling.
"Our result replicates colony collapse disorder as a result of pesticide exposures," said Lu.
"We need to look at our agriculture policy and see if what we're doing now is sustainable."
Saving the bees is kind of important.
Let's spend the money and get that problem figured out.

Will Romney pick a Nigra VP?
Everybody's talking about one man...
Boy, he sure is dark...
Link
Rep. Allen West (R-Who?.) has quietly emerged as a — if not the — Teabagger favorite for VP.
Herman Cain became the latest big-name Republican ( ha ha ) to pitch the negro for the job.
Cain joins Sarah Palin , Newt Gingrich , and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley in pitching
Allen West (R-Who?) who this weekend confirmed that, if called, he would probably take the job.

Subject: Social Security and the healthcare mandate
Hey Bart,
Am I the only one who's figured out what a Trojan Horse the healthcare mandate is?
"RomneyBamaCare" eliminates the non-profit gov't. run Public Option, while forcing us
to buy our insurance from the for-profit corporate crooks.
Does the word "precedent" mean anything to liberals?
If allowed to stand, the mandate will set a precedent that will let the Rethugs totally gut
government as we know it. Think about it--If the gov't. can absolve itself from providing
essential health care for citizens while at the same time forcing us to purchase it in the "free"
market, what can't they force us to buy? When the Rethug court rubber-stamps the mandate,
look for a slew of new ones to follow.
First will be the scrapping of Social Security, and it's replacement by a mandate to buy into
retirement plans run by banksters who will make Skilling, Lay, and Madoff look honest and
trustworthy by comparison. Next up will be the elimination of public schools, with a mandate
to send your kids to some corporate charter school, or christian taliban madrassa at full boat tuition.
Don't forget about replacing local cops and firemen with a mandate to subscribe to some sleazy rent-a-cop corporation.
The mandate is the ultimate wingnut wetdream. Their two only real goals are to exempt the rich
from all taxes, and to shrink gov't, down to the point where the only thing it's capable of doing is
forcing us little people to submit to corporate rule. What they want is some sort of bastardized
high tech neo feudalism, and the mandate is their way of opening the door wide open to it.
The mandate must not be allowed to stand, which is exactly why the wingnuts on the whore court,
as you so accurately describe it, will sign of on it after going through the motions of political kabuki.
As in most court cases, the verdict has been long decided before ever going to trial.
Be well,

The Ryan Cult
by Paul Krugman
Link
So, can we talk about the Paul Ryan phenomenon?
And yes, I mean the phenomenon, not the man. Mr. Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee
and the principal author of the last two Congressional Republican budget proposals, isn't especially interesting.
He's a garden-variety modern G.O.P. extremist, an Ayn Rand devotee who believes that the answer to all
problems is to cut taxes on the rich and slash benefits for the poor and middle class.
No, what's interesting is the cult that has grown up around Mr. Ryan - and in particular the way self-proclaimed
centrists elevated him into an icon of fiscal responsibility, and even now can't seem to let go of their fantasy.
I think Ryan would be the perfect running mate for Willard.

Guns at NaziCon 2012 in Tampa
Will Zimmerman be allowed inside the GOP Tent?
Link
If Tampa's proposed rules for the Republican National Convention are passed,
protesters could not bring squirt guns into a designated protest zone.
But they could bring real guns if they have concealed weapons permits.
That's because state law does not allow local governments to enact laws regulating guns,
City Attorney Jim Shimberg Jr. said.
"Even if we tried to regulate it, it would be null and void," Shimberg said Monday.
So, it'll be a f-ing loon convention.
If YOU have guns and strong opinions, we'll see you at NAZI-CON 2012!

Asbestos Catastrophe Pending
Link
Asia is heading for a huge jump in asbestos-related diseases in the coming decades, according to numerous
scientific studies and two of the world’s most prominent experts on public health and asbestos exposure.
Not surprisingly, the consequences are expected to be felt most severely in India and China, two emerging
economies and most populous countries in the world.
“What we can expect is very predictable – an absolute catastrophe of death and disease,” Dr. Arthur Frank,
chairman of environmental and occupational health at Drexel University, said in a recent interview with this
reporter. He added that the coming catastrophe is “all preventable.”
