<br>
<br>
When congressional Republicans predict ominously that Democratic deployment of a self-executing rule (or "deem-and-pass") will encourage them to engage in similar behavior someday, they forget to mention how many times they’ve already done it.
<br>
<br>
For the sake of anyone troubled by the ranting over this trivial matter, the historical record is indisputable. During the years when the Republicans controlled the House, they set records for the use of such "rarely used" maneuvers. Although their bogus sanctimony should no longer surprise anyone, the utter fraudulence of these latest outbursts has been held up to deserved ridicule by impeccably nonpartisan and even conservative sources. On the American Enterprise Institute blog, for instance, congressional expert Norm Ornstein writes:
<br>
<br>
Any veteran observer of Congress is used to the rampant hypocrisy over the use of parliamentary procedures that shifts totally from one side to the other as a majority moves to minority status, and vice versa. But I can’t recall a level of feigned indignation nearly as great as what we are seeing now from congressional Republicans and their acolytes at the Wall Street Journal, and on blogs, talk radio, and cable news. It reached a ridiculous level of misinformation and disinformation over the use of reconciliation, and now threatens to top that level over the projected use of a self-executing rule by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In the last Congress that Republicans controlled, from 2005 to 2006, Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier used the self-executing rule more than 35 times, and was no stranger to the concept of "deem and pass."
<br>
<br>
That strategy, then decried by the House Democrats who are now using it, and now being called unconstitutional by WSJ editorialists, was defended by House Republicans in court (and upheld). Dreier used it for a $40 billion deficit reduction package so that his fellow GOPers could avoid an embarrassing vote on immigration.

As a college student I will take those courses that will only benefit the Party If I need a student loan.
<br>
<br>
I swear, I will not protest the fines levied against me if I do not fulfill the obligations of Obama Healthcare.
<br>
<br>
As a student I will not, whether I am on a student loan program or not, I will not protest the fact that tuition is raised - not to cover the cost of my tuition but to cover the cost of those who defraud the government and say they are too poor to pay.
<br>
<br>
I will not mind that much of my raise in tuition pays for illegals aliens who are not required to state where they were born "if they cannot remember" or if, by law, the investigator is not allowed to ask them if they are indeed an illegal alien.
<br>
<br>
I swear I will not cry when I see those I graduated with with beautiful families of 2 children and selling their starter home to move up to a dream home while I am just finishing my "program" with the Party and trying to pay off my credit cards they used to buy sign paint for protests they made me go to.
<br>
<br>
I swear I will not sob when my first second and third prospective employer will not hire me when he sees I had to work with community organizers to fulfill my Party Obligations because he knows the sedition my Party seeds within its groups against private businesses with the "social and economic" redistribution of wealth scenario. I swear I will not blame him or her - only myself.
<br>
<br>
While I am in college I will not believe everything I hear from someone just because they know one more thing than I. I will remind myself that a professor is not my new parent or a minor god just because he or she knows one more thing than myself. I am ignorant of much. Professors have never left the campus and know little about the real (business) world. I want to be in a business.
<br>
<br>
I swear, I will get a degree in that subject that is required by the Party, taking no courses outside that area of interest. I will take full responsibility for the abundance or lack of jobs in said major when I graduate.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I hereby swear, too, that if I have to spend 5 years or 10 to pay this "free" loan down by doing menial labors outside my major, at minimal wages - I will not whine or cry.
<br>
<br>
I will not cry if they want me to do political work such as carrying signs for a union during that new tenure while others are outperforming me in the working world in their major of choice -
<br>
<br>
I swear that when others, who worked their way through college by their own sheer will and fortitude get a career going immediately, I will not whine or become depressed and vindictive of them or of my Party.
<br>
<br>
I will also swear to the fact that, even though these students who did not take out government/Party loans, get a beautiful resume going and a 5 year jump on life, I will not cry. Flipping hamburgers is noble - even at 27 years old.
<br>
<br>
I will not cry when their resume reads - Corporate Management 3 years (100K), while mine would read, Community Organizing, ie, picking up trash around the office, getting coffee, landscaping flower pots. pickettng and various other duties assigned to me by others with no education, (5 years, minimum wage)
<br>
<br>
I swear I will not cry when I see those I graduated with with beautiful families of 2 children and selling their starter home to move up to a dream home while I am just finishing my "program" with the Party and trying to pay off my credit cards they used to buy sign paint for protests they made me go to.

Regressions of death rates in Washington, DC, and in some 89 urban counties scattered across the nation on climate and demographic variables demonstrate that warmer temperatures reduce deaths. The results imply that a 2.5deg. Celsius warming would lower deaths in the United States by about 40,000 per year. Although the data on illness are poor, the numbers indicate that warming might reduce medical costs by about $20 billion annually. Utilizing willingness to pay as a measure of preference, this paper regresses wage rates for a few narrowly defined occupations in metropolitan areas on measures of temperature and size of city and finds that people prefer warm climates. Workers today would be willing to give up between $30 billion and $100 billion annually in wages for a 2.5deg.C increase in temperatures.
<br>
<br>
Health and Amenity Effects of Global Warming
<br>
<br>
<br>
............Rarely has any research explored people's preferences for less chilly weather. Given the circumstantial evidence that people prefer warm climates over cold, it is somewhat surprising that the effects of warming on human well-being have essentially been ignored. We do know that many people upon retiring flee to southern and warmer locales. According to a survey of people turning 50 in 1996, almost 40 percent plan to move when they retire and the most important criterion in selecting their destination (40 percent) is a "more favorable climate" (USA Today, May 13, 1996, p. B1). Folklore alleges that physicians sometimes recommend that patients escape to a warmer climate, never to a colder one. Presumably retirees, at least, find that higher temperatures improve their welfare. As air-conditioning has mitigated the rigors of hot summers, the population of the United States has been moving South and West, towards climates that enjoy less extreme cold weather. Most Americans and Canadians taking vacations in the winter head to Florida, the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, or southern California. Exceptions crowd the ski slopes, but they are a minority.
<br>
<br>
To my knowledge only one study (Hoch and Drake 1974) -- summarized in the U.S. Department of Transportation research described below -- has examined the preferences of people for various climates, an important measure of how weather affects human welfare. Many studies that have examined the quality of life in various urban areas, however, have found that warmer climates were correlated with a willingness to accept lower wages (e.g., Hoch 1974 & 1977; Cropper and Arriaga-Salinas 1980; Cropper 1981; Roback 1982 & 1988; Gyourko and Tracy 1991). As a gauge of preferences, that research and this paper both use workers' willingness to pay for a better climate as measured by the differential in wages among cities.
<br>
<br>
<br>
B. Seasonal Effects
<br>
<br>
Moreover, if climate change were to manifest itself as warmer winters without much of an increase in temperatures during the hot months, which some climate models predict (Gates et al. 1992), the change in weather could be especially beneficial to human health. The IPCC reports (Folland et al. 1992) that over this century the weather in much of the world has been consistent with such a pattern: winter and night temperatures have risen while summer temperatures have fallen.
<br>
A warmer globe would likely result in the polar jet stream's retreating towards higher latitudes; in the Northern Hemisphere the climate belt would move North (Lamb 1972, p. 117-118; Giles 1990). Thus an average annual 3.7deg.C increase in temperature for New York City, for example, would give it the climate of Atlanta. NYC's summertime temperatures, however, would not go up commensurably: the average high temperature in Atlanta during June, July, and August is only 2.2deg.C warmer than New York City's and the latter city has on record a higher summer temperature than does the capital of Georgia. Summer temperatures generally differ less than winter temperatures on roughly the same longitude and differ less than average temperatures.
<br>
<br>
A sample of 45 metropolitan areas in the United States shows that for each increase of a degree in the average annual temperature, July's average temperatures go up by only 0.5 degrees while January's average temperatures climb by 1.5deg.[2]. Since warming will likely exert the maximum effect during the coldest periods but have much less effect during the hottest months, the climate change should reduce deaths even more than any summer increase might boost them.

]]> | <![CDATA[FACT CHECK: Premiums would rise under Obama plan
<br>
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR (AP) – 5 hours ago
<br>
<br>
WASHINGTON — Buyers, beware: President Barack Obama says his health care overhaul will lower premiums by double digits, but check the fine print.
<br>
<br>
Premiums are likely to keep going up even if the health care bill passes, experts say. If cost controls work as advertised, annual increases would level off with time. But don't look for a rollback. Instead, the main reason premiums would be more affordable is that new government tax credits would help cover the cost for millions of people.
<br>
<br>
Listening to Obama pitch his plan, you might not realize that's how it works.
<br>
<br>
Visiting a Cleveland suburb this week, the president described how individuals and small businesses will be able to buy coverage in a new kind of health insurance marketplace, gaining the same strength in numbers that federal employees have.
<br>
<br>
"You'll be able to buy in, or a small business will be able to buy into this pool," Obama said. "And that will lower rates, it's estimated, by up to 14 to 20 percent over what you're currently getting. That's money out of pocket."
<br>
<br>
And that's not all.
<br>
<br>
Obama asked his audience for a show of hands from people with employer-provided coverage, what most Americans have.
<br>
<br>
"Your employer, it's estimated, would see premiums fall by as much as 3,000 percent," said the president, "which means they could give you a raise."
<br>
<br>
A White House press spokesman later said the president misspoke; he had meant to say annual premiums would drop by $3,000.
<br>
<br>
It could be a long wait.
<br>
<br>
"There's no question premiums are still going to keep going up," said Larry Levitt of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a research clearinghouse on the health care system. "There are pieces of reform that will hopefully keep them from going up as fast. But it would be miraculous if premiums actually went down relative to where they are today."
<br>
<br>
The statistics Obama based his claims on come from two sources. In both cases, the caveats got left out.
<br>
<br>
A report for the Business Roundtable, an association of big company CEOs, was the source for the claim that employers could save $3,000 per worker on health care costs, the White House said.
<br>
<br>
Issued in November, the report looked generally at proposals that Democrats were considering to curb health care costs, concluding they had the potential to significantly reduce future increases.
<br>
<br>
But the analysis didn't consider specific legislation, much less the final language being tweaked this week. It's unclear to what degree the bill that the House is expected to vote on within days would reduce costs for employers.
<br>
<br>
An analysis by the Congressional Budget Office of earlier Senate legislation suggested savings could be fairly modest.
<br>
<br>
It found that large employers would see premium savings of at most 3 percent compared with what their costs would have been without the legislation. That would be more like a few hundred dollars instead of several thousand.
<br>
<br>
The claim that people buying coverage individually would save 14 percent to 20 percent comes from the same budget office report, prepared in November for Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind. But the presidential sound bite fails to convey the full picture.
<br>
<br>
The budget office concluded that premiums for people buying their own coverage would go up by an average of 10 percent to 13 percent, compared with the levels they'd reach without the legislation. That's mainly because policies in the individual insurance market would provide more comprehensive benefits than they do today.
<br>
<br>
For most households, those added costs would be more than offset by the tax credits provided under the bill, and they would pay significantly less than they have to now.
<br>
<br>
The premium reduction of 14 percent to 20 percent that Obama cites would apply only to a portion of the people buying coverage on their own — those who decide they want to keep the skimpier kinds of policies available today.
<br>
<br>
Their costs would go down because more young people would be joining the risk pool and because insurance company overhead costs would be lower in the more efficient system Obama wants to create.
<br>
<br>
The president usually alludes to that distinction in his health care stump speech, saying the savings would accrue to those people who continue to buy "comparable" coverage to what they have today.

"People are likely to not buy the same low-value policies they are buying now," said health economist Len Nichols of George Mason University. "If they did buy the same value plans ... the premium would be lower than it is now. This makes the White House statement true. But is it possibly misleading for some people? Sure."

I guess that would depend on who's included in using the word, "we". I'm going to suggest that growing up in a patriarchal, racially entrenched, religiously preoccupied society tends to color your perception of what it even means, "to be qualified".
<br>
<br>
Consider the highest office in the land: we've always elected the candidate we considered most qualified, 44 times running. The fact that "the most qualified" has <i>never</i> been a woman isn't <i>just</i> a coincidence. Nor that, up until just recently, it's <i>always</i> been a white man. <u>It's because we believe, with absolute conviction, that positions of authority can only be held by men who are white.</u> Not only that but it took nearly two centuries for a Catholic to be viewed as more qualified than, say, a Quaker. Why? Because there was a time in America when women, Catholics and men of color were not to be trusted. [And those days aren't over. Not by a long shot.] Of course I'm not suggesting that a racial quota should be imposed on the office of the presidency. Only that it's nonsense to think that, absent one, we've choosen, "the most qualified". We never did because we've never truly considered that an option. And still don't.

<br>
<br>
(Reuters) - Nearly one in four Californians under age 65 lacked health insurance during all or part of last year, well above the latest national average, in a trend fueled by shrinking coverage due to mounting job layoffs, a new study on Tuesday found.
<br>
<br>
U.S.
<br>
<br>
The number left uninsured for at least part of the year in the most populous U.S. state climbed from 6.4 million in 2007 to 8.2 million last year, a 25 percent jump that shocked University of California at Los Angeles researchers who have tracked the figures for a decade.
<br>
<br>
"We expected to see some increase, certainly, but one of this magnitude was quite surprising," Shana Alex Lavarreda, one of the study's authors, told Reuters.
<br>
<br>
The bulk of the increase, the study said, stemmed from soaring job losses during the recession and a corresponding drop in employer-provided coverage, which accounts for about half the health insurance for Californians under 65.
<br>
<br>
Nearly all U.S. senior citizens are covered under the federal Medicare program.
<br>
<br>
The UCLA researchers said their findings underscore the need for a U.S. healthcare system overhaul that provides a public insurance option for younger adults.
<br>
<br>
"What we can safely say is that in 2009, a system that was already straining completely broke," Lavarreda said.
<br>
<br>
Not including the elderly, the proportion of Californians without health coverage during all or part of the year rose from 19.5 percent in 2007 to 24.3 percent in 2009. Among working-age adults, those between 18 and 65, the rate was higher still, with nearly one in three uninsured.
<br>
<br>
By comparison, 17 percent of non-elderly Americans overall -- or about 45 million people -- were uninsured in 2008, the last year for which national figures were available. And Lavarreda said California undoubtedly still leads the nation with the highest number of uninsured in any single state.
<br>
<br>
COBRA PLANS FALL SHORT
<br>
<br>
The proportion of Californians covered by state healthcare programs for the needy grew from 15.3 percent to 16.5 percent during the past two years, an increase more than offset by the steep decline in employer-based insurance.
<br>
<br>
The federal government softened the blow by offering subsidies to laid-off workers who wished to continue their old employer-based coverage by picking up the premiums themselves.
<br>
<br>
This more than doubled the rate of coverage under so-called COBRA plans. But 62 percent of those who lost their job-based health benefits were forced to seek coverage from other sources or became uninsured, the study said.
<br>
<br>
The analysis was based on enrollment data from health insurance companies and state programs, adjusting for population growth and other changes since 2007.
<br>
<br>
Conducted by UCLA's Center for Health Policy Research, the study was funded by two charitable organizations devoted to improved access to healthcare -- the California Endowment and the California Wellness Foundation.]]> | <![CDATA[<h3>E-mails suggested Fort Hood suspect subpar for Army</h3>

<h3>Is it Judgment or Judgement?</h3>
<br>
<i>The English spelling system is a nightmare (see "<a href="http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/chaos.html" rel="nofollow">The Chaos</a>" in our library) caused by inconsistencies in the spelling system. To remain on the side of the orthographic angels and help our children learn to spell words in the language more accurately, alphaDictionary.com is committed to as much consistency in spelling as the English language allows. To spell judgement without an "e," while spelling abridgement, acknowledgement, arrangement, engagement, and the 40 other words in English with a soft "g" before -ment with an "e," is an act of bewildering inconsistency that makes learning the spelling system unnecessarily difficult. (See <a href="http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/drgw007.html" rel="nofollow">Dr. Goodword's article on the equally puzzling but ever popular editorial error, "an historical" for the correct "a historical"</a>.)
<br>
<br>
It is not a new problem; both spellings have trailed this word throughout history and </i><b>all English-language dictionaries assure us that <u>both</u> are acceptable</b><i>. However, we are offering a reasoned resolution to the dilemma that allows us to spell all such words accurately and consistently, making our kids' task of learning the language just a bit easier. We should use the "e" after "g" and "c" (e.g. "advancement" when they are are soft and omit it when they are hard (e.g. segment, pigment). By the way, we have William Shakespeare and all our British brethren on our side. Not bad company to keep.</i>]]> | <![CDATA[Don't flatter yourself. You're the one who better make it right.

<br>
Nazi murderers of the mentally handicapped were treated much more
<br>
leniently in postwar German courts than their counterparts who killed
<br>
Jews during the Holocaust, according to a new study by a University
<br>
of Florida doctoral student in history.
<br>
<br>
Because they were unable to testify, the mentally handicapped lacked
<br>
organization and advocates to make their case and often were faceless
<br>
victims secretly murdered in asylums originally meant to help them,
<br>
said researcher Shane Stufflet.
<br>
<br>
In contrast, the Jews pulled together to elicit sympathy by
<br>
demonstrating that their murdered contemporaries were fellow Germans,
<br>
he maintained.
<br>
<br>
"If you murdered a Jew, you were much more likely to get a sentence
<br>
and get a stiffer sentence than if you murdered the mentally
<br>
handicapped," said Stufflet, whose study is the first to calculate
<br>
the disparity. "The mentally handicapped were seen as a burden on
<br>
society and so judges, and especially lay judges, did not consider
<br>
their murders to be as great a crime."
<br>
<br>
More than half of the Nazis tried for crimes against the mentally
<br>
handicapped – 57 percent – were acquitted, said Stufflet, who now
<br>
teaches at Rollins College, the University of Central Florida and
<br>
Lake Mary High School.
<br>
<br>
Of the 43% of defendants found guilty in cases involving mentally
<br>
handicapped victims, only 1.6% received life sentences, none of which
<br>
were served, he said. In contrast, only 24% of the Nazis tried for
<br>
crimes against the Jews were acquitted, with about 11% receiving life
<br>
sentences, said Stufflet, who did most of his research at the state
<br>
archives in Munich and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington
<br>
D.C.
<br>
<br>
Patricia Heberer, historian at the Center for Advanced Holocaust
<br>
Studies at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, said Stufflet's research
<br>
is important because these so-called "euthanasia crimes" are an under
<br>
studied chapter of history. The medical profession shielded its own,
<br>
often falsely certifying the perpetrators as physically unable to
<br>
stand trial, Heberer said. "These physicians, nurses and bureaucrats
<br>
who administered the 'euthanasia program' often did get away with
<br>
murder," she said.
<br>
<br>
Because of their larger numbers and greater visibility in German
<br>
society before the Holocaust, Jews were seen as more "human" victims
<br>
and the postwar judiciary was quick to condemn their deaths, Stufflet
<br>
claimed.
<br>
<br>
The same shift in attitudes that resulted in a smooth transition
<br>
from "enemy" to "victim" for Jews did not occur with the mentally
<br>
handicapped, he said. "One was more than twice as likely to be
<br>
acquitted for murdering a mentally handicapped person and nearly
<br>
seven times as likely to receive a life sentence for killing a Jew,"
<br>
he said.
<br>
<br>
In the 1950s and '60s, the German government denounced incidences of
<br>
anti-Semitism, such as desecration of synagogues and Jewish
<br>
cemeteries, but subtle prejudice against the mentally handicapped
<br>
remains today, Stufflet said. Although laws have been passed to
<br>
protect the rights of the mentally handicapped, they are not as fully
<br>
integrated into public life as they are in the US, he said.
<br>
<br>
One reason for this disparity is that Germany didn't begin
<br>
integrating the handicapped into public schools until the late 1970s,
<br>
while the US started doing so nearly two decades earlier as part of
<br>
the civil rights movement, he said. The first mentally handicapped
<br>
victims of Nazi murder were children in asylums, around late 1939 or
<br>
early 1940, about a year before those on Jews began, he said.
<br>
<br>
"Children were either starved or injected with Luminal or morphine
<br>
and the killings were soon expanded to adults," he said. "When the
<br>
Nazis realized they couldn't murder as many people as they wanted in
<br>
that fashion, they started experimenting with gas." Basements in six
<br>
asylums were modified to create gas chambers, with hookups added for
<br>
diesel trucks to pump in carbon monioxide, he said.
<br>
<br>
Because the victims were hidden from view, man
<br>

In his famous 1932 Congressional address he said "Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known.

This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States through the defects of the law in which it operates and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it. Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are government institutions. They are not government institutions; they are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves."

THE FED MUST BE ABOLISHED IN ORDER FOR TRUE PROSPERITY TO OCCUR]]> | <![CDATA[And what would be the purpose of auditing Federal Reserve? I would think it be in order to abolish it. At least that's the take from Ron Paul who has been the proponent of End/audit Federal Reserve. Once Fed Reserve's Ponzi scheme and crimes are exposed THEN maybe the people will wake up. You'll never hear it on mainstream media.

"To collect the interest on the money they lent to the American government and American people to use, they created the US federal Income act, to directly tax the people. With the stroke of President Wilson's treasonous pen, the international bankers became the FED in 1913 and have owned a virtual monopoly of the US economy and the tax-payer's money ever since. They create money out of nothing, control treasury loans, and profit from interest rates."

]]> | <![CDATA[WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal agencies haven't lived up to President Barack Obama's promise of a more open government, increasing their use of legal exemptions to keep records secret during his first year in office.
<br>
<br>
An Associated Press review of Freedom of Information Act reports filed by 17 major agencies found that the use of nearly every one of the law's nine exemptions to withhold information from the public rose in fiscal year 2009, which ended last October.
<br>
<br>
Among the most frequently used exemptions: one that lets the government hide records that detail its internal decision-making. Obama specifically directed agencies to stop using that exemption so frequently, but that directive appears to have been widely ignored.
<br>
<br>
Major agencies cited that exemption at least 70,779 times during the 2009 budget year, up from 47,395 times during President George W. Bush's final full budget year, according to annual FOIA reports filed by federal agencies. Obama was president for nine months in the 2009 period.
<br>
<br>
Departments used the exemption more even though Obama's Justice Department told agencies to that disclosing such records was "fully consistent with the purpose of the FOIA," a law intended to keep government accountable to the public.
<br>
<br>
For example, the Federal Aviation Administration cited the exemption in refusing the AP's FOIA request for internal memos on its decisions about a database showing incidents in which airplanes and birds collided. The FAA initially tried to withhold the bird-strike database from the public, but later released it under pressure.
<br>
<br>
The FAA claimed the same exemption to hold back nearly all records on its approval of an Air Force One flyover of New York City for publicity shots - a flight that prompted fears in the city of a Sept. 11-style attack. It also withheld internal communications during the aftermath of the public relations gaffe.
<br>
<br>
In all, major agencies cited that or other FOIA exemptions to refuse information at least 466,872 times in budget year 2009, compared with 312,683 times the previous year, the review found. Agencies often cite more than one exemption when withholding part or all of the material sought in an open-records request.
<br>
<br>
The AP examined the 2008 and 2009 budget year FOIA reports from the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Justice, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury and Veterans Affairs; the Environmental Protection Agency; and the Federal Reserve Board.
<br>
<br>
Other FOIA exemptions cover information on national defense and foreign relations, internal agency rules and practices, trade secrets, personal privacy, law enforcement proceedings, supervision of financial institutions and geological information on wells.
<br>
<br>
One, known as Exemption 3, covers dozens of types of information that Congress shielded from disclosure when passing other laws.
<br>
<br>
In sentences that are often vaguely worded and buried deep in legislation, Congress has granted a wide array of information special protection over the years: information related to grand jury investigations, the additives in cigarettes, juvenile arrest records, the identities of people applying restricted-use pesticides to their crops, and the locations of historically significant caves are a sampling of the broad range of information the public cannot get under FOIA.
<br>
<br>
The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., was so concerned about what he called "exemption creep" that last year he successfully pressed for a new law that requires FOIA exemptions to be "clear and unambiguous."
<br>
<br>
The federal government cited Exemption 3 protections to withhold information at least 14,442 times in the last budget year, compared with at least 13,599 in the previous one, agency FOIA reports show.
<br>
<br>
The prolific use of FOIA exemptions is one measure of how far the federal government has yet to go to carry out Obama's promise of openness. His first full day in office, Obama told agencies the Freedom of Information Act, "which encourages accountability through transparency, is the most prominent expression of a profound national commitment to ensuring an open government."
<br>
<br>
Obama told agencies they shouldn't hide information merely because it might make them look bad. "The presumption of disclosure should be applied to all decisions involving FOIA," Obama wrote.
<br>
<br>
Following up on Obama's words, the Justice Department advised agencies against withholding records sought under FOIA "merely because an exemption legally applies." Most recently, the White House encouraged agency officials to hold contests, complete with prizes, to encourage employees to promote open government.
<br>
<br>
Describing the Justice Department's actions on FOIA on Monday at the start of Sunshine Week, when news organizations promote open government and freedom of information, Attorney General Eric Holder said his agency is making progress. He noted that Justice provided everything sought in a FOIA request in more than 1,000 more cases than it had the previous year.
<br>
<br>
"Put simply, I asked that we make openness the default, not the exception. Today, I'm pleased to report that the disturbing 2008 trend - a reduction in this department's rate of disclosures - has been completely reversed," Holder said. "While we aren't where we need to be just yet, we're certainly on the right path."
<br>
<br>
Much of the Obama administration's early effort on FOIA seems to have been aimed at clearing out a backlog of old cases: The number of requests still sitting around past the time limits spelled out in the open-records law fell from 124,019 in budget year 2008 to 67,764 at the end of the most recent budget year over the 17 agencies, the AP's review found. There is no way to tell whether those whose old cases that were closed ultimately received the information they sought.

<br>
<blockquote><i>“Barack Obama and the Congressional leadership didn’t worry about bipartisanship…they didn’t need any to get their agenda passed. They were more than happy to go on a down the line party vote every time, and ignore the ineffectual minority.”
<br>
<br>
Yeah, right. Let’s be honest about things, OK?
<br>
<br>
It’s been too easy to chronicle the many instances in which congressional Republicans have announced their opposition to ideas they also support. From a deficit commission to PAYGO, cap-and-trade to a financial industry bailout, civilian trials for terrorist suspects to stimulus aid for their districts, it’s become routine for Republicans to embrace and reject the same proposals, almost at the same time. Let’s start with the health reform debate.
<br>
<br>
On an individual mandate as part of health care reform, Republicans oppose their own idea. For Republicans, the idea of requiring every American to have health insurance is one of the most abhorrent provisions of the Democrats’ health overhaul bills.
<br>
<br>
“Congress has never crossed the line between regulating what people choose to do and ordering them to do it,” says Orrin Hatch (R-UT). “The difference between regulating and requiring is liberty.”
<br>
<br>
But Hatch’s opposition is politically motivated. The last time Congress debated a health overhaul, when Bill Clinton was president, Hatch and several other senators who now oppose the so-called individual mandate supported a bill that would have required it.
<br>
<br>
In fact, the individual mandate was originally a Republican idea, invented by Mark Pauly to give to George Bush Sr. as a competition to the employer mandate focus of the Democrats at the time.
<br>
<br>
If we could expect consistency and intellectual seriousness from GOP lawmakers, it would be almost bewildering.
<br>
<br>
Over the summer, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told Fox News, “I believe that there is a bipartisan consensus to have individual mandates…. There isn’t anything wrong with it.” A few months later, he used individual mandates as an excuse to oppose reform, and voted for a resolution characterizing mandates as unconstitutional.
<br>
<br>
Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Bob Bennett (R-Utah), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) all declared their opposition to an individual mandate in December. All five of them are on record co-sponsoring a reform measure that included an individual mandate.
<br>
<br>
The point here is not just to highlight the bizarre inconsistencies of Republican opponents of health care reform. This is also important in realizing why bipartisanship on health care has been quite literally impossible — Republicans are willing to reject measures they’ve already embraced, and ideas they themselves came up with.
<br>
<br>
All the Democratic outreach and compromise options in the world can’t overcome the fundamental lack of honesty that comes with a party that opposes and supports the same ideas at the same time.</i></blockquote>
<br>
<br>
<b>My point in copying and pasting this is that the piece is actually <i>relevant</i> to the article you posted. Insofar as it echoes elements from the article <i>I</i> posted (<i></b>"The GOP game is as simple as it is hypocritical. First: Reject every Democratic proposal — including some of the exact same initiatives that Republicans championed under Bush — while branding the consensus-seeking Obama as a radical leftist. Second: Stoke populist fury over exploding deficits, even though they're the fallout of eight catastrophic years of Republican rule. ... Three: Promise to fix what's wrong with Washington — despite having waged an all-out war to make government appear as broken as possible."</i><b>), it demonstrates the futility of answering an article with an article. The two articles do not directly speak to each other, and are only tangentially related.
<br>
<br>
But if you'd like to author some comments of your own on Tim Dickinson's article, I'd love to read them.</b>

<big><big>That's it??!! Your rationale for saying goy = cattle is because "Eagle" says so? [Said, so says he, with "contemption".] Jeesh, what a gyp! If you're not going to cite something authoritative, at least choose the Urban dictionary definition with the best rating:

<br>
<br>
1. A Hebrew word used in the Jewish Scriptures (a.k.a. the Old Testament). The word literally means "nations," and is always used within these scriptures to refer to the nations of the world. Significantly, within the Old Testament, Judah (the Jewish nation) itself is called a "goy."
<br>
2. In the Old Testament, the Jews were called to be a nation separate from the other nations, which were all Pagan. And so, colloquially, all non-Jewish nations came to be called "goyim" as in "the nations" from which the God of the Old Testament had called upon the Jews to separate themselves.
<br>
3. A word used by some Jews to refer to Gentiles (non-Jews). The word can have derogatory connotations, such as the word "black" when used to refer to a persons of African descent. It can be neutral or negative depending on the context and the intent of the speaker.
<br>
<br>
Singular = goy
<br>
1. "Gather together, gather together O shameful goy" - Zephaniah 2:1 (Referring to the Jewish nation)

2. Jews don't eat pork, goyim eat pork.

They were goldsmiths in Bavaria starting back in the 1500s and and were the ones who invented the "fractional reserve banking system" that is killing America today. Back then a goldsmith hung a "red shield" on his shop signifying his trade: In german that is Roth=red Schilds=shield. OK GOYEM, NOW I GROW IMPATIENT.

<i>The only thing I would poo-poo is the fact you espouse ideals without even having a clear definition about what it is you're talking about. I'm sure I've seen you bring up inequality of opportunity on at least three different occasions, yet when asked to define your terms, you have to crack some books? C'mon man… This is one of the COMMON THREADS that bind you to so many other "progressives" whom you reject being lumped in with. After reading those articles, </i>I<i> should be the one espousing the virtues of equality of opportunity ..."</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>Unclear reference: Is the common progressive thread the interest in "equality of opportunity" or "book learnin'"? I misspoke: I didn't <i>have</i> to "crack some books," I <i>wanted</i> to. I've already mentioned that part of the reason I'm here is to learn things. Just because I DO know what I'm talking about doesn't mean I can't know it better. And I've also already said that, in reading those articles, "you're just as likely to find passages from which to argue against me." So then tell me, do you really think that "all members of society are eligible to compete on equal terms"? If not, what should we do about that?</b>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Now let's replace the term "women" with "people"… Your quote right there simply supports what I'm giving you in a real world example. That persons who advance on the basis of fulfilling some quota (determined by WHO again?) will <i>create</i> "sexist [or equivalent] attitudes"… In other words, attempting to regulate opportunity </i>creates<i> negative stereotypes. Let us not also forget, the product or service will suffer, because the most able body for the position could very well be ruled out based on manufactured standards. In the end, social unrest is fomented and the consumer ultimately suffers. What kind of justice is that?"</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>Institutions within a society should generally reflect the demographics of the society itself. So, when African-Americans make up 14% of the population, but are .008% of Fortune 500 CEOs and 46% of the prison community, there's a problem. Why such disparity? "Sexist [or equivalent] attitudes" already exist; they're not created by the regulation of opportunity. You may argue that such attitudes are <i>aggravated</i> by said regulation, but that's really just racist [or sexist] scapegoating. Understanding that you have many more opportunities than women and minorities helps to alleviate some of that aggravation. The upshot is that racial disparities will never be eliminated by simply ignoring race.</b>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Maybe </i>you<i> don't think so, but yeah, it is, and nothing you've presented substantiates the claim it isn't."</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>The point of these semantic contrivances is lost on me. How does simply disagreeing with what's done in the name of "social justice" give you cause to argue that "social" is a modifier that can't be applied to "justice"? "Law" is a "stand alone term" also, but that doesn't stop us from talking about "civil" law and "criminal" law and "administrative" law. What am I missing?</b>
<br>
<br>
<i>"You've read ONE article you found online and suddenly you're equipped to dictate to me how I am to receive information that 72 hours ago, you had no idea existed???"</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>I've read one article on this subject in the past week, sure. I've read a lot more than that in my lifetime. I'm familiar enough with this stuff that I <i>could</i> talk about it off the top of my head, but what do I learn from that?</b>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Son, you're bloviating about stuff you still don't fully understand if you can make the claim "what's fair will not always be to my benefit", because that's COMPLETELY WRONG and NOTHING in any of your articles makes that point."</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>Well dad, I guess that's evidence I'm not basing my argument solely on those articles, isn't it?</b>
<br>
<br>
<i>"What's FAIR is that I be free to reap the benefits of the expenditure of my own life energy, unfettered by third party interference."</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>You and everyone else. Unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunities you do. Again, what should we do about that?</b>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Even if you take me out of the equation, how is it fair to the consumer that they're going to be denied the quality of goods or services they might otherwise enjoy had the the MOST QUALIFIED person got the job?"</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>Ideally, affirmative action should be a guide in deciding between two <i>equally qualified</i> candidates for a position. But nothing is ever perfect, which is why, even without affirmative action, management paradoxes like the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle" rel="nofollow">Peter Principle</a> will always ensure that consumers are "going to be denied the quality of goods or services they might otherwise enjoy." Besides, I'm a socialist. You might have a point if I were concerned with the quality of the newest, hottest widget. But I'm more interested in full employment, socially useful work, a living wage and economic democracy. Next, I suppose you'll tell me that "democracy" is a "stand alone term" that can't be modified by the word "economic." We should probably wait to spin that plate some other time.</b>
<br>
<br>
<i>"People like you can't seem to grasp the number of people who have to "settle" in order to accommodate the mediocre, usually because you lead of life of mediocrity yourselves, making it easy to vilify those of us who lead <s>productive</s> "privileged" lives…"</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>People like me? Generalizing is like a nervous tick with you, isn't it? I lead a fairly rich and fulfilling life, all things considered. No one's ever used the word "mediocre" to describe me at all. You don't seem very mediocre yourself, and it was never my intention to vilify you for being a white male. You may be a FUCKING CUNT (sorry, I couldn't resist), but I'm sure that has nothing to do with your race or sex. What "people like you can't seem to grasp" is that "settling" is necessary in order to accommodate, not the mediocre, but future generations. There aren't enough resources on this planet for everyone to fulfill the capitalist ambition of "the sky's the limit" economic acquisition and expansion. And if we don't start training our eye on what it is with which we'd like to "settle," we're going to consume ourselves into extinction. Again, what's fair isn't always going to benefit <i>you</i>. But if it's for a greater good, a good you might even agree with if you could abandon the guiding principle of selfishness, I think it's worth it.</b>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Here's another beef I've ALWAYS had about progressivism… Real history doesn't matter… You're content to form your assertions based on a couple articles you read which were published in the last 15 years, and based on the above, will probably be modified again in the near future. Everything is subject to constant interpretation according to the convenience of the moment, thus enabling you to wander in circles for generations without being able to identify if your actually making "progress" or not. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT."</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>I wouldn't call <i>"modifying distributive principles to make them sensitive to the circumstances of women"</i> a "convenience of the moment." Reading articles written by others broadens my perspective, but I often read articles with which I disagree as well. I base my assertions on an eclectic variety of things, including experience and critical thinking. How does reinterpreting some past event or set of principles mean that "history doesn't matter"? You act like modifying values based on new understandings and concerns is a bad thing. Should we not have abolished slavery then? Was that another "convenience of the moment"? If we can both agree that the integration of drinking fountains, for instance, is some small measure of "progress," then what's your point?</b>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Tell you what, here's the sparknotes to Nicomachean Ethics. Why don't you start at the beginning, then come back and talk to me about justice..."</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>Will do. I read everything you link to, by the way, because I'm, y'know, fixated on assholes.</b>
<br>
<br>
<i>"You find such an atrocity entertaining? Do really think that shit's make believe?"</i>
<br>
<br>
<b>Let's be perfectly clear: No real atrocity has ever been committed on the politics forum of Craigslist. What I found entertaining was your colorful depiction of an admittedly horrific event. You went several steps beyond a mere factual CNN-style report, entering the territory of, I don't know, Gustav Hasford maybe? Hasford's own account of the Vietnam War was semi-autobiographical, but that didn't make it any less entertaining. What was also entertaining was the way arc/mat effortlessly <a href="http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/pol/1642062642.html" rel="nofollow">shut you down</a> after your little "FUCKING CUNT ... CITE YOUR SOURCE" outburst. What happened, dude? I thought you didn't like it when threads were dropped. Or is it just when they're dropped by arc/mat?</b>

1. Used by racist Jewish supremesists against Christian whites. Used to strike anger within and start up wars (like when an angry white calls a black a "nigger"). When used, it means that you are lower than the scum at the bottom of a well.
