Liberal Angst?
By Louise
NPR is reporting that White House aides and communications director Dan Pfeiffer says the White House is sure 'Liberal Angst' over healthcare will go away once Obama signs the upcoming Healthcare bill. According to Dan Pfeiffer, White House communications director, "We're not overly concerned about these things, first and foremost because there isn't an election tomorrow, not an election the next day." People close to the negotiations say that the House will roll over on the public option, and is only asking that federal antitrust protections be stripped from insurance companies, and that the insurance exchange be run federally rather than by the states - pretty much dropping all the other progressive provisions in the House bill so it can get through a Senate controlled by bought-off corporate-owned shills like Ben Nelson, Joe Lieberman, and Mary Landreau.

At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
