Stop Procrastinating by "Clearing to Neutral"
By Thanh Pham We often procrastinate because there is this one
hidden thing holding us back. It is this one thing that makes you
procrastinate and most people are not even aware what this is, but if
you eliminate it you can say goodbye to procrastination forever.
Friction A lot of times we procrastinate because we have to jump through
a lot of hurdles before we can do the thing we actually want to do. For
example, let’s say you need to prepare dinner. So you need your dishes,
cutlery, pots and pans. But what if they are still in the sink from the
time you used them for lunch? That means befor
Retired NSA Analyst Mickey Duniho Testifies in Arizona Election Integrity Trial
Mickey Duniho testified in yesterday's election integrity hearing
held in Tucson, Arizona. Duniho is one of thirteen plaintiffs suing
Pima County to get them to comply with existing election laws. He
provides an excellent summary of the problems verifying elections
counted on electronic voting machines. Pima County is notorious for
fighting measures for election integrity and have spent millions of
taxpayer's dollars to prevent disclosure of public election records. The
aim of the lawsuit against Pima County is to get the court to:1. Issue

War on Democracy: Quick Shots - 11/2/2012
We're still having trouble, of late, keeping up with all the
chicanery, dirty tricks and skullduggery now rolling across the country.
So here, once again is our very quick take on just some of the most
noteworthy items over the past few days that you'll want to keep in mind
as we creep towards Election Day next Tuesday...

Israeli official sees "shocking" dictatorship in Egypt
A senior Israeli official described Egypt's new government on

high-level contacts between the two countries, but the Israeli
government distanced itself from his comments.The remarks by Amos Gilad,
a top aide to Defense Minister Ehud Barak, were some of the harshest
yet about the rise to prominence of Egypt's new Islamist pre

Obama vs. Romney
U.S. presidential elections periodically offer a dramatic choice
rather than an echo. This was Barry Goldwater’s campaign slogan in 1964
against Lyndon Baines Johnson. Voters chose LBJ in a landslide.
Lop-sided victories are the usual outcome when two starkly different
choices face U.S. voters in presidential contests. Think of Nixon vs.
McGovern, or Hoover vs. FDR. Once every other generation,

Israel’s Best Puppet Shamed
The most reliable Israeli mouthpiece in the House of Commons,
Dennis MacShane, has today resigned as an MP after stealing £20,000 in
expenses. This was not a case of a doubtful claim – MacShane actually
created, himself, 19 false invoices.
Why he has not been prosecuted and jailed is a question well worth
discussion.
At the time that he stole that money, his long term partner was the

Savile and the Low Hanging Fruit
Talk of “round up the usual suspects”. Gary Glitter and Freddie
Starr are not even low-hanging fruit for the Met, they are windfalls.
Jimmy Savile’s behaviour was evidently priapistic, and his predeliction
for under-age sex, it is plain, was indulged continually in semi-public
situations. The risk or exposure, or the thrill of his own incredible
immunity, appear to have been part of the enjoym

Bits and Pieces - November 2, 2012
Pretty much all political today.Matt Romney, Mitt's son, goes to
Russia to make money and to deliver a message to President Putin that
his father would be more flexible after the election, if he's
elected.Was voting for Romney rigged in the primaries? If these analyses
are correct, something funny was going on.Two big, and rather good,

Your standards of beauty Friday open thread
by liberal japonicus
It's nice to have objective standards, so this was heartening.
A Chinese beauty contest requiring candidates to have nipples spaced at
least 20 centimetres (7.8 inches) apart sparked a storm of criticism on
the Internet on Friday.
I was wondering if 20 cm was close to some ancient Chinese measure of
proportion. However, researching Chinese length, I found they redefined

The Threat of a Stolen Election
Perhaps it's because the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee Americans
the right to vote. Perhaps it's because election officials believe (or
hope) that the public has forgotten what democracy means or what fair
elections are all about. Perhaps both parties opportunistically seek an
advantage through fraud. Perhaps people are simply stupid. Nevertheless,
it remains an almost inconceivab
Obama, There’s Still Time
It has become undeniably apparent, as I argued in the cover story of In
These Times' September issue, that self-identified Independent voters
are the largest bloc of movable voters at this final stage of the
election campaign.
If anyone had any doubt about their volatility, their significance or
who they were, the results of an Washington Post/ABC News poll published
on October 25, should
A Republican’s Rare Chance to Be a Real Leader
In light of horrific wildfires, a historic drought and now the
destruction wrought by Hurricane Sandy, the political understatement of
the year has to be President Obama's recent comment to MTV. Asked about
climate change's absence from all presidential debates for the first
time in a generation, he said, "I am surprised it didn’t come up."
Instead of "surprised" he should h

No Negotiating With Republican Terrorists
By @TedFrier
All you really need to know about the state of American politics today
is that President Obama has been pilloried by Republicans for the past
four years as a wild-eyed radical because of his staunch defense of the
status quo.
In a sane world such continuity would mark Barack Obama as a
"conservative." And indeed, when the political scientists at VoteView
