Two can play at "Disaster Capitalism".
How about a plan offering immediate relief, revenge (called balance for PR release), economic stimulus, and the feeling of being able to accomplish as encompassing an improvement to many lives as the counterparty has produced degradation.

Missing from the discussion in nearly every US media report of the Russia-Georgia conflict is the fact that an important oil pipeline runs through Georgia, not far from South Ossetia, which is asserting its independence from Georgia.

MORE HYSTERIA...

By GaryJArzt

Bob Kendall's piece on 20 June where he notes "foreigners are buying out major assets..." reminds me of the hysteria when the Japanese were buying the Arco Building in LA, Pebble Beach and Rockefeller Centre.
It's an investment. And, they couldn't pick it up and take it to Japan. And, ironically, the Japanese over paid for everything.
Foreigners have historically invested in this country b ecause of our sound economy and political stability. They're buying more because the dollar is soft.
We are the foremost advocates of globalism; which has been good for every body. We can't pick and choose to be 'globalists' one minute and isolationists the next.
Get over it; get on with it; and stop freightening the average American with talk of recession or worse.

The Backlash on Gay Marriage and the long Road to Equality (Part two)

As was widely expected, on June 3, California Secretary of State Debra Bown confirmed that marriage equality opponents had successfully gathered over one million signatures which allows placement of a proposition on the November ballot that if passed, would overturn the California Supreme court decision.
Leading the local opposition to the court decision are a pair of Southern California businessmen, Howard Ahmanson, owner of Fieldstead & Co and Christian radio magnate Ed Atsinger. Both are evangelical Christians according to a May 27 report from Capital Weekly, a newspaper that covers California's state government.
But a virtual who's who of familiar right wing social conservative organizations have also converged on California and are making the overturning of the California court decision a priority. "There are a number of national religious right groups that are lending their resources to this effort," said Peter Montgomery, spokesperson at the People for the American Way, a liberal advocacy group based in Washington DC.

Another bogus claim from Secretary Spellings

By skrashen
04/04/2008 03:33:08 AM EST
Believe it or not, Sec Spellings is already claiming that No Child Left Behind deserves credit for the modest increase in writing scores nation-wide. From a press release from the US Dept of Education.
"U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings today highlighted the results of The Nation's Report Card<sup>TM</sup>: Writing 2007. Secretary Spellings commended educators and students for the significant progress made under No Child Left Behind."
This can't be true.
