Progressives progress
Libby Spencer at The Impolitic - 14 hours ago
A periodic reminder. Politics are temporary, but SCOTUS is virtually forever.
The coming term will probably include major decisions on affirmative action
in higher education admissions, same-sex marriage and a challenge to the
heart of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Those rulings could easily rival
the last term’s as the most consequential in recent memory…
On Oct. 10, the court will hear Fisher v. University of Texas, No. 11-345,
a major challenge to affirmative action in higher education. The case was
brought by Abigail Fisher, a white woman who says she was denied admission

Billionaires made from scratch? Hardly (The American Dream Myth)
Matt at The Coming Crisis - 14 hours ago
Forbes touts its annual list of the 400 richest U.S. billionaires as
evidence “that the American dream is still very much alive,” claiming that
70 percent of them “made their fortunes entirely from scratch.” I noted
that in a post the other day, and questioned whether it was true.
Its not. The liberal group United for a Fair Economy has done the heavy
lifting on Forbes’s bootstrappers, and its report, “Born on Third Base,”
shows that the vast majority of the country’s plutocrats either inherited
their money or had significant help from family members. What’s surprising
is that this... more »
Chet Raymo, “In Place of Belief”

*“In Place of Belief”*
by Chet Raymo
“A lightning storm the other night, slipping down from Florida. For an
hour we sat on the terrace and watched the northern sky blaze with
pyrotechnics, the best we'd ever seen, almost continuous rivers of
electricity streaming between the clouds, clouds heaped like mountains and
lit from within. After some particularly sky-filling explosions we could
not resist applause. From horizon to horizon, from Andros to San Salvador
the streamers ran, trailing their rumbles of far-off thunder. So much
energy! Energy entirely beyond the human capacity t... more »
"A Look to the Heavens"

“Like delicate cosmic petals, these clouds of interstellar dust and gas
have blossomed 1,300 light-years away in the fertile star fields of the
constellation Cepheus. Sometimes called the Iris Nebula and dutifully
cataloged as NGC 7023 this is not the only nebula in the sky to evoke the
imagery of flowers. Still, this remarkable image shows off the Iris
Nebula's range of colors and symmetries in impressive detail. Within the
Iris, dusty nebular material surrounds a hot, young star.

[image: rogers]
Canadian wireless and internet provider Rogers is currently experiencing a
widespread, continued outage of services on both its cellular and cable
home internet data networks, according to various user reports. Rogers is
the second-largest internet provider in Canada by subscriber count, and the
largest cellphone provider with somewhere around 10 million mobile
customers.
Reports of outages are coming in on Twitter from a variety of cities in
Southern Ontario, including Toronto, Waterloo and London, and some even
suggest that the outage may spread across the entire... more »
ROMNEY AND NETANYAHU FINALLY GET THE MESSAGE – NO WAR AGAINST IRAN THIS SIDE OF THE ELECTION
Damian Lataan at Telling the History of the Twenty-First Century as it Really Is - 15 hours ago
Mitt Romney has finally realised that the American electorate are not in
the slightest bit interested in going off to fight another war for Israel.
As a result of this belated epiphany Romney has back-pedalled on a strike
against Iran saying that ‘military action against Iran may not be
necessary’ – though, of course, the ‘military option is still on the
table’. The statement clearly is designed to placate those Republican
voters that are worried about going to war yet again.
Netanyahu too has also realised that he is going to get nowhere pushing for
war this side of the elections a... more »
New Orleans Back to Normal

*What, the Saints win a football game?*
"Weakening Isaac hovers over water-logged Louisiana" by Cain Burdeau and

NEW ORLEANS — Inside the fortified levees that protected New Orleans, *bursts
of sunshine streamed through* the thick clouds, and *life began to return
to normal*. But beyond the city, people got their first good look at
Isaac’s damage: Hundreds of homes were underwater. Half the state was
without power. Thousands were staying at shelters.
And the damage may not be done....
At least two deaths were reported....

"The Wonder Of Life..."
noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 15 hours ago
"We live in radical times surrounded by tasks that seem impossible. It has
become our collective fate to be alive in a time of great tragedies, to
live in a period of overwhelming disasters and to stand at the edge of
sweeping changes. The river of life is flooding before us, and a tide of
poisons affect the air we breathe and the waters we drink and even tarnish
the dreams of those who are young and as yet innocent. The snake-bitten
condition has already spread throughout the collective body.
However, it is in troubled times that it becomes most important to remember
that the wo... more »

Young Benjamin Netanyahu
Saman Mohammadi at The Excavator - 16 hours ago
This guy has been crazy all his life. His rigid sense of rightness,
demonstrated in the video below, is scary. He can't tolerate different
opinions and views. A classic case of an authoritarian personality.
I'm surprised that an intellectual nation like Israel elected this man who
only uses emotion and throws logic aside. Then again, not really. Germany,
the most intellectual nation in Europe, elected the demagogue Hitler. So
any country, no matter how civilized, can slip up mentally and become a
victim of emotion-based, fear-mongering rhetoric. America, Israel, England,
Germany, Ru... more »
