Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 10 minutes ago
Nasa's Cassini spacecraft has captured dramatic images of rolling storm
clouds on Saturn.
The pictures were obtained while the spacecraft was "travelling the
Saturnian system in a set of inclined, or tilted, orbits that give mission
scientists a vertigo-inducing view of Saturn's polar regions," Nasa said.
The results show storm clouds and a swirling vortex at the centre of
Saturn's north polar hexagon.
Nasa said Cassini has seen storms circling Saturn's north pole in the past,
but only in infrared wavelengths because the north pole was in darkness.

When I Look At the World I Always See Canada
The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 11 minutes ago
These days most of my political views of Canada are informed by what I

conduct ourselves as Canadians.
Many of us try to give ourselves a pass. We're just a tiny country. Less
than 40-million after all. What we do or don't do really isn't going to
impact elsewhere. We're insignificant. We can do what we like.

North Korea pushing ahead with new nuclear reactor: IAEA
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 14 minutes ago
North Korea has made further progress in the construction of a new atomic
reactor, the U.N. nuclear chief reported on Thursday, a facility that may
extend the country's capacity to produce material for nuclear bombs.
Pyongyang "has continued construction of the light water reactor and
largely completed work on the exterior of the main buildings," Yukiya
Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),
said.

Romney Campaign Still Math-Challenged
Jonathan Bernstein at A plain blog about politics - 50 minutes ago
A bunch of liberals (here's one; here's another) had good fun yesterday
with an op-ed by Romney strategist Stuart Stevens yesterday. The main point
of the ribbing was that Romney's campaign apparently still doesn't quite

really liked.
But unless I missed it, no one noticed that Stevens still doesn't seem to
have any idea of just how badly Romney lost. He says "Nor are we idiots

Electoral College in 2012."

George McGovern, Alison Redford. Here in Alberta’s icy capital, the winter
of 2012 is starting to feel like the summer of ’73. If you’re an Alberta
Progressive Conservative, this is not a good thing. Let me explain. In the
spring and summer of 1972, Richard Nixon, ... more »
Steve : "Who wants pie?"
Alison at Creekside - 8 hours ago
Another massive majority win for the Canadian Non-voting Party in
by-elections this week.
"We were a bit worried that election fraud, selling Canadian resources off
to China, and turning the Canadian government into an branch office of the
tar sands would galvanize non-Con voters," explained
a Non-voting spokesnobody, "but it turns out that feeling powerless and
disenfranchised is still a winning combination for us."
Good thing they only use their awesome power for good, huh?
Alice crunches the numbers.

NIGGER LOVER
Anon at aangirfan - 9 hours ago
*Indonesian model. Website for this image*
*The excellent CanSpeccy writes:*
A person's tendency to irrational hate is, I suspect, more or less
inversely related to their power.
*Those without money, social position, authority, good looks, or
achievements of any significance, are, on this view, the most likely to
engage in bullying, lynching, and cheering on brutal fascist leaders.*

*Hence the lynch mobs of the US Deep South, where the white "trash" were
inclined to take it out on niggers, the only people more powerless than
themselves.
Hence, today, the demonization and casual... more »

Jonathan Bernstein at A plain blog about politics - 9 hours ago
In an incredibly foolish move, Nixon has decided to nominate Patrick Gray
for the FBI job; Gray had been the acting director since Hoover died, but
choosing to put Gray in front of a Senate committee in a confirmation
battle was not at all a wise move.
At Camp David, Nixon and Bob Haldeman, the White House Chief of Staff, talk
about Gray, with the president thinking that "if they did ask Pat Gray in
his confirmation about Watergate" that nothing would come of it. Of course,
when White House personnel had been asked about Watergate by Gray's FBI
they were able to get away with phony ... more »
Mid-November, 1972

My apologies; I've fallen behind on the story, what with the election and
all. But it's time to get back to it.
As you may recall, the five men arrested at the break-in, Hunt, and Liddy
have all been indicted and are awaiting trial. Numerous members of the
White House and campaign staffs perjured themselves, coordinated by John
Dean, to keep the story of rogue campaign aides intact through the
election; the indicted men themselves were taken care of with cash.
After the election, however, it turns out that the hush money operation had
fallen behind, and the indicted men were start... more »
Glenn Greenwald on The Global Battlefield Idea
Saman Mohammadi at The Excavator - 10 hours ago
The "global battlefield" idea is a dangerous idea. It turns the whole
world into a killing zone. Obaaama's drones can reach any target in the
world under the abstract umbrella of the "war on terror." But, Washington
is defining political activists and social reformers as combatants and
terrorists, so this isn't a war against terror. In reality, it is a *war
against freedom*.
Glenn Greenwald:
"If you go and look at the premises of George Bush and Dick Cheney's theory
of executive power and counter-terrorism that caused so much controversy
among Democrats back when Republicans wer... more »
Disney Exposes Children to Lewd Homosexual Activity on Daytime Broadcast TV
MrArbitrage at Table Of Wisdom.com - 11 hours ago
In a disgraceful breach of fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, Disney
Execs allowed their television network to willfully and premeditatedly
expose millions of children and families to two men performing homosexual
acts with one another. This was in the middle of the afternoon's highly
rated college football game coverage on Thanksgiving Weekend.
This is a clear example of incompetent executives abusing shareholder
assets, undermining the reputation of the brand and the trust that the word
Disney at one time conveyed. This was all committed for the selfish desire
of advancing ... more »
Tornado Slams Into Europe's Biggest Steel Plant in Italy
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 11 hours ago
A freak tornado has smashed into Europe's largest steel plant in the
Italian city of Taranto, leaving one person missing and dozens injured.
Video footage shows the storm rolling in off the sea and tearing through
the port city before hitting the huge IVLA site.
It brought down a chimney stack and caused significant damage to buildings
at the factory's docks.
A total of 38 people - including 20 staff at the plant - are reported to be
injured and divers have been searching for a worker who is unaccounted for
after a dockside crane collapsed.

Rahm's Greatest Hit Has Done All The Damage He Can As A Congressmember-- Now He's Ambling Off To K Street: Heath Shuler DC's Latest Revolving Door Lobbyist

Sleazy lobbyist Heath Shuler-- the ultimate lame duck
If you're a *DWT* regular, I don't have to tell you who North Carolina Blue
Dog Heath Shuler is. We've been following him with trepidation since Rahm
Emanuel plucked him away from Tennessee Republicans to run as a North
Carolina "Democrat" in 2006. Since then he racked up a dismal 37.93
critical vote score from ProgressivePunch, even worse than the other two
North Carolina Blue Dogs, Mike McIntyre and Larry Kissell. Shuler, an
anti-Choice, antigay, anti-immigrant bigot has voted more frequently with
Boehner than with Pelosi and ha... more »
Fox Doctor Psychoanalyzes Psy And His Gangnam Song
Saman Mohammadi at The Excavator - 11 hours ago
This is an interesting video. Fox News psychiatrist Keith Ablow talks with
Bill O'Reilly about the popular song *"Gangnam Style"* by the South Korean
pop artist Psy.
Cenk Uygur, the host of the Young Turks, pokes fun at the Fox clip. But the
Fox doctor is right. However, he does over-analyze the song and its massive
popularity. People have always wanted to listen to catchy tunes, especially
during dark times. This is completely normal. The 1920s was all about
escapism. But then came the Great Depression and Woody Guthrie. Moods,
cultures, and music styles change.
The 2000s has also... more »

Beijing Does Damage Control on Passport Map
Michael Turton at The View from Taiwan - 12 hours ago
*A whip scorpion. *
*UPDATE*: China announces it will begin boarding and turning back ships in
the South China Sea.
Pushback has begun...first, the problem (Guardian):
The map, in China's newly designed passport, claims ownership of the entire
South China Sea – parts of which are also claimed by Taiwan, the
Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia – as well as disputed areas on
the China-India border and two Taiwanese tourist destinations.
The Philippines, Vietnam, India and Taiwan have all vehemently protested
against the new microchip-equipped passport, which essentially force... more »

Obama opposes Silicon Valley firms on immigration reform
Rich Rifkin at Lexicon Daily - 13 hours ago
Allegedly because it is not part of a "comprehensive immigration reform"
bill, CNET is reporting that President Obama opposes "the Republican-backed
STEM Jobs Act of 2012, which would make up to 55,000 visas available to
foreigners who earned a master's or doctoral degree in certain science or
technology area from a U.S. university. Those visas would only be available
if immigration authorities certify that no American workers are available
to fill the post."
Obama has not said he will veto this bill, but that is a possibility.
It's rather surprising for a few reasons that the p... more »
What will happen on the Rob Ford appeal

I have predicted this wrongly so far but ...
Ford will get a stay pending an appeal. The appeal will be expedited and
heard in January.
Ford will lose the appeal because the judgment is based on a finding of
fact - the donations were not immaterial.

There exists in the world, forces, entities, people, organisms, those who
lack the propensity for empathy. Sociopaths. Psychopaths. Those bent on
destruction, without remorse. The world we live in is a result of the
willful destruction of such existences.
Also. There exists in the world, forces of good. Those bent on creation,
creativity, preservation, fecundity. Living in a world of productivity and
abundance, rather than strife.
The battle between life and destruction will never cease. But no other
battle exists.
What more of substance is there to fight for? Of what value is the ... more »
