May I just say:

Moving Panetta from the CIA to the Pentagon and putting *General* Petreus in charge of the CIA doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Why not keep Panetta at the CIA and make Petreus the new Sec of Def?

corporations are out of rhythm with the natural order of cooperation. the interconnection of all life (dependant origination). where corps will put profit before the dignity of life. i have great hope for the future that the youth that understand dependant origination will become our leaders in society

Didn't Trump say he'd release his tax records when Obama released his birth certificate? Time to turn it back onto the Donald.

It's funny that I'm also annoyed by the use of CE and BCE instead of AD and BC. And I'm an atheist! I'm annoyed at the people who are offended that the era is named after the guy whose birth it's based on.

If I had my way, we'd use "TJ"--tempore Jesu (in the time of Jesus)--using his name, not his controversial title. We could take advantage of the change in terminology to change the numbers too; make 1 BC into 0 TJ, 2 BC in to -1 TJ, etc. Having a year zero would make the math easier.

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."

—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."

—Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."

—Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously
