What Mattered This Week?

Jonathan Bernstein at A plain blog about politics - 11 hours ago
Hey, I heard there were some elections... Of course, each one mattered. If you're looking for something that was particularly up in the air coming in, I'd probably go with the North Dakota Senate seat in particular, and the +2 result for the Democrats in the Senate overall; going in that was certainly plausible, so it's not a last-minute shock or anything, but it easily could have been 53/47 or even 52/48. On the other hand, if I had to pick one of the close Senate elections which mattered the most, I'd have to go with Tammy Baldwin. What didn't matter? How about those teams of law... more »

EU budget talks break down as cash-strapped member states refuse to plug £6.7 billion funding shortfall

Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 12 hours ago
Negotiations over next year's European Union budget have collapsed following a dispute between member states and the European Commission over payment of a £7 billion funding shortfall. Cash-strapped member states have refused to cover the huge funding black hole for 2012 which the European Commission has requested. The talks, which essentially ended before they began, could be a sign of trouble ahead for longer-term EU budget issues. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2231005/EU-budget-talks-break-cash-strapped-member-states-refuse-plug-6-7-billion-funding-shortfall.html

Why No Honest War Memorials?

The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 12 hours ago
I've seen many war memorials. A good many of them are topped by some heroic-looking lump of bronze depicting a perfect specimen, with immaculate puttees, a jaw fixed in determination, wielding a Lee Enfield with bayonet attached and leaning into an implied fray. Oddly enough these memorials never, absolutely never show us the maimed, dismembered corpses we're actually there to venerate. We excise the reality of mayhem to sanitize the slaughter. Lest We Forget, really?

Exxon shuts pipeline after oil leak offshore Nigeria

Exxon (XOM.N) has shut a pipeline off the coast of Nigeria's Akwa Ibom state after an oil leak started by an unknown cause, the company's local unit said on Saturday.

Frustration with continuing power outages, travel chaos, and long lines for gasoline grew on Saturday as residents of Long Island, hit hard by Superstorm Sandy, planned to a protest outside the headquarters of the local utility company. Residents said they would take to the streets for a second day outside the Long Island Power Authority in Hicksville. There are still over 400,000 customers without power nearly two weeks after the storm, and more than 170,000 are on Long Island. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/10/us-storm-sandy-hurricane-idUSBRE89N16J20121110

Sandy refugees say life in tent city feels like prison

It is hard to sleep at night inside the tent city at Oceanport, New Jersey. A few hundred Superstorm Sandy refugees have been living here since Wednesday - a muddy camp that is a sprawling anomaly amidst Mercedes Benz dealerships and country clubs in this town near the state's devastated coastal region. Inside the giant billowy white tents, the massive klieg lights glare down from the ceiling all night long. The air is loud with the buzz of generators pumping out power. The post-storm housing — a refugee camp on the grounds of the Monmouth Park racetrack - is in lockdown, with secu... more »

Israeli tank fire killed four Palestinians and wounded 25 in the Gaza Strip on Saturday after an anti-tank missile hit an Israeli army jeep wounding four soldiers, and Palestinian fighters fired rockets into southern Israel in a new flare-up of fighting. In a major clash that carried the risk of escalation, Palestinian militants vowed to take revenge for the deaths of civilians and Israel warned residents of communities near the Gaza border to stay within 15 seconds of their blast shelters. The casualty toll was one of the highest in a single incident in Gaza in recent months. ht... more »

Post-Election Racism Tracked

The re-election of Barack Obama triggered a flood of truly ugly, racist tweets.

Green states were found to be the source of high levels of racist tweets. *"Alabama and Mississippi have the highest LQ measures: They have scores of 8.1 and 7.4, respectively. And the states surrounding these two core states -- Georgia, Louisiana, and Tennessee -- also have very high LQ... more »
