Harry Belafonte and Martin Luther King Jr from the site Madman posted.
And! as antidote to what I call, ’Three Gorges Dam’ Martin. That travesty on the Mall.
Plus every time over the years I have wanted to post or refer to the phrase about “joining a burning house”, when I google pretty much all I find is the many references Belafonte has made to that particular truth over the years.
Not a lot of interest in that hard whallop of truth.

No matter what I do, it cuts Martin off. (sigh)
better half a real Martin, than literally tons of a Chinese knock’off the ol’ Asian block…
oh that thing is so awful. It so smells of remnant of fallen civilisation. The damned thing will last forever.
Like a Half-carved Moai left in a desolated wasteland
Pete Seeger looked great in those pics at BI, thanks for the link.
He did didn’t he?
Occupy Wall Street: Washington Still Doesn’t Get It
And of course by way of Isaacson we have the Holy Intoning of none other than Steve Jobs on the subject of soooooo much regulation of business.
Willie Nelson reads poem for Occupy Wall Street protesters
Thanks for that Loco…I think Willie might be a real huiman, never mind his well publicized politics and weedy-ness but Sis tells me he bikes around her little town in Maui on ragged-ass tenspeed that’s as trashed as his guitar
I think Willie is real…
me too

Will they ever stop blowing Jobs? As an undead prophet he’s more pernicious than ever
ANYBODY who, pre death, spins a book with/by Isaacson by saying he did it so his children would know him…. as too often he “was not there”…
Geesh. Good luck. Too late now… and a hyped commercial bio ain’t the way.
A narcisisst with a touch of megalomania never is pretty, and when such a fantastic douche faces terminal illness the pathetic attempts of creating some impotent version of immorality is not only uglier then the hemorrhoids in Hades ass but is patently more incredibly tiresome than Phoenix’s freeways during rush hour …Can you imagine him berating one of execs’ over the phone the day before he died? (I think that’s the gist of the e duHuff puff piece I glossed) Talk about not facing reality…
Well he REALLY did not face reality with the cancer, at all. I am not saying it’s easy… but alternative diets – as a CURE – and the like once you have an invasive cancer is just silly. And I am not fond of US medical protocols or what I call our “system”, at all… but sometimes for some things……….
I think the way he dealt with it from the beginning is indicative of his delusions of grandeur and overweening self-reard. IMO rejecting the surgery “cause he didn’t want to be violated” or “opened” is ridiculous. We’re talking life or death. I’m sure his physician was beyond fantastic,pro’lly one of the best in his field and most people who accept the preeminence of science (and not necessarily the infallible wisdom of western med or any given doc) would listen to an expert scientist or three and then go with the consensus. Especially when its a ez snip snip high percentage op. But not if you believe in your own omnipotence/omniscience. In the end I think he was as superstitious as anyone else, and his singularity merely that his blind-fai th was in his own (false, obviously) God-like-nature…
sucks to be mortal and human, but it happens to the best of us (never mind a self-deluded tool like jobs)
I think the whole “Steve figured out how to build a new television” is frantic hoopla. Trying to game – and goose – the market. They cannot make the 4s a better device or, at this point, strive for a better sales presentation than it is… no matter how many lines to buy it The Woz gets into and chats up the “volk”. (I read a tanscript of the conf call with Cook and a couple of others with market/Wall St media… geesh it was lame)
I am very superstitious but the core of it is not my belief in my goddessnessness. That’s for sure!
Well in the end, or the end of denial in his own healing abilities, was becoming a legal resident of TENN as I recall, to get on a smaller state UNOS list. Or so the story went. So… he got pierced no matter what.
they can blow him all they want, as long as they remember to put on the iRubber.

oo thanks for that, I like Russ Baker…

We done Moved On!
If those dumbfucks don’t get that “occupation” is about as far from the proverbial “Move-on”, well, you know, something provocative!
emoticons really need to issue a flying finger

)
Shit -> Fan -> Soon.
About as cogent an analysis as is out there…
@ WSJ MarketWatch of all places…
A verry pessimistic piece, only missing the mark on two points IMO,, one being an assumption no further Bankster Bailouts will be attempted (NTIM , IMO) the other a notion that it will give more power to duhpeepuhl in Washington…
As if that ruin is on today’s itinerary….
As if that silver-lining is meant for us. Oh I imagine denizens of Fort Resort-on-Potomac will come out once again offering their services. Tho they could really save themselves, the globe and the country a whole lot of trouble: because Because , Thanks TO “their services”, fewer and fewer still really give a fuck about em unless THEY TOO exit sewer with hands up……to waiting truck.
I mean when ya think about it,
look at all they’ve accomplished in DC: They’ve succeeded in motivating the base of BOTH Parties to want to chop their fucking heads off.
With overwhelming support of Independent too.
Heackava Job, Republicrats! Here’s to ya, Donklephants!
Need a lift in the truck?!!?
The news coming out does seem genuinely dire. I hope people absolutely storm the Bastille.
There is a sign running around :
Oakland – 1871 – Paris
(WHERE THE FUCK are the travelling guillotines I ordered?) By the by… we got NO MAIL DELIVERY TODAY. Third time in 2 weeks.
Oh that WOULD be great …
Going to City Hall…
Yes , We’re here for our Parade Permit.
We got the GUILLOTINE out front here – IF, ya know,
it needs Inspected or anything…
Slice and dice….
I think the assumption of this piece is that bankster bailouts are gonna happen. That’s why every business writer pumps up the horrible, horrible things that will happen if banks aren’t given every penny of their bad loans back, with interest.
info clearinghouse
Yup.
We also bring fucking fundie Xtianism… and encourage whatever local fundifoolishness is at hand as well. As we prattle about educating women and all the oher lies.
And China is very presnt in Afghanistan from what I read, building roads, big ones… planning on mining and whatever else.
I don’t really see either of us as benign… but that does not mean there is not a huge difference between open war invasion occupation (that would b the US) and being a possibly brutal busisness partner (that would be China)
I just LOVE Talbott’s Return Policy...
Times is tough…
Well……..lemme throw a dart and print sumpumpin out…
…….it’s a ……difficult situation.
We got ourselves , a Stage 5, metastisized, incarcerated, full blown BUMMER of Capitalist Tumor on our hands now.
Which they plan to treat with more Toity paper.

I’ve been poking around whats going on in Chicago.
Another 150 arrests tonight in Grant Park
Small wonder the Jew Boys that Own Obama want to keep the level of intensity there off national media coverage. If I had to guess now tho – , I’d say Chicago is likely to meltdown first.. Very intense, Very diverse, yet with increasingly confrontational -gasp- middle age minded to 55-ish whites looking to …like….break shit.
Well good luck to West Bank Rahm and his worn-out welcome among the neighbors. I bet that weasel gets up every day and prays that Bloomberg.can hold New Jerusalem.
Frustratin. Sounds like a new global rollout from Big Pharma.
Ask your Doctor about Frustratin.
See what Frustratin can do for you.
Not much, apparently.
The article is hilarious… supposedly Sarko is catty, downright bitchy actually, about Merkel behind her back (or so the story goes). Maybe he should repeat 7th grade… and not be allowed to sit with the mean girls this time.
oh HE IS! Why just yesterday, and with Carla having the baby and all, the poor dear, I heard – and he’s not really right for her by the way, ANYWAYS- if that wretched Mother of his< from GERMANY wasn't bad enough – the nerve of her all demure Lady Luftwaffe and all..
LOL. Oh Yeaaaah – - Catty-Bitchy.
LOVE IT

There’s more by, but why bother, really? I’d rather re-read the cold-cereal box.
Mz. Applebaum obviously wouldn’t know democracy if it rode up naked on a horse and bit her on the ass. She does know what a top down hierarchy is, and she certainly comprehends the Bullshitstem that provides her a paycheck for dissembling nonsense to the witless…(/sigh)
What did that chap illdoctrine call them? Oh yeah that’s right, RINGERS!
It’s just freaking them out so much …
Oh Fuck AppleButterBalm –
..chanting “This is what democracy looks like,” but, actually, this isn’t what democracy looks like. This is what freedom of speech looks like.
Ah yes Freedom of Speech.

With a little last minute’ rumor-mongering tuhsay sgonna be okay for Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley…
Goldman lost 33 of it value in the last 6 months. Morgan Stanley , Citi et al, other similarly FUBAR’d results.
Prol is this – Let’s not be naive says the market knowing full well GS and MS bigs betting against their own gigs were fixin consolodating buybacks planned in conjunction with – and here’s the rub – the fix easily put in with the EU floating their sinking ships again…
Which ironically is proceeding swimmingly…

{{As aside but also of note – BI certainly pegged the EU deal a year ago…. Just A 20% Haircut In PIGS Bank Debt Would Wipe Out The Equity Of French Banks and included a dead-on list, THEN, of the top 20 Banks to hit the shitter over it all}}
Anyway’s back to today’s brrrrreaking…….
