Saturday Morning (Journalism) Quarterback
The top five stories worth reading from this past week in worth-reading stories:
" If part-time and discouraged workers are factored in, the unemployment rate would have been 15.6 percent in March..."
Where is all the outrage about workers getting the shaft.
In frightful political news, Seymour Hersh is reporting that Dick Cheney has moles in the Obama administration.
In Science! news this week, lobsters and crabs DO feel pain, shades of David Foster Wallace. And, if everyone went vegetarian for just one day. Also, the super laser is up and running.
Trust your gut. We can't let these new economic reforms institutionalize financial power and corporate welfare. The biggest problem with our economic model? Oligarchy. The Merrill-Lynch bonuses were 22 times what AIG's were. That's one-third of their bailout money from TARP. And as for Geitner's new proposal, Joseph Stiglitz writes "not so fast."
Are military spending is woefully over budget.
