Crab Boil

Not so wild kingdom.

Mass bird and fish deaths becoming worldwide phenomenon | Raw Story:
"Update: 40,000 crabs have been found dead on England beaches."
Also, on the same beach a 300 gallon vat of clarified butter along with 3000 empty Corona bottles were discovered.

Seriously, doh, this could be a problem or it could be a bored media connecting dots that don't connect.

Never know these days... until it is too late, then how could anyone have predicted. Lawdy.

'Chupacabra' Mystery Solved? Strange Animal Identified In Kentucky (VIDEO)

I've seen many a raccoon and this is one ugly raccoon if so, but....

"There's just no way around it.' When Mark Cothern spotted this bizarre creature in his yard, he shot it. Pictures of the animal spread like wildfire, as many fans eagerly thought it could be a chupacabra."
Chupacabra receives cult, mythical status in Mexico.

Chupacabra receives both barrels in Kentucky and almost made it to the stew pot (I'm betting).

We are serious about protecting our environment.

California Cap And Trade Rules: Sweeping Regulations Set To Be Adopted:
"'AB32 was passed primarily to fill the vacuum created by the failure of Congress to pass any kind of climate or energy legislation for many years now,' said Mary Nichols, the air board's chairwoman. 'The goal was to lead by example, and being a leader you have to bring others along with you.'

California's cap-and-trade rules would set up the largest U.S. carbon trading market as the way to enforce the state's gradually tightening cap on emissions."
We are getting out of the damn car, too:

Calif. Amtrak ridership rising on state trains:
"'As I go around the country talking about Amtrak, I say we can't add trains fast enough in California,' said Marc Magliari, a national Amtrak spokesman in Chicago. 'That strikes people who believe California is the land of the car.'"
We also elect real Democrats who run the joint.

Be more like California, the rest of you.

Very cool. This will be a site to behold and free seating around the entire bay:

San Francisco selected to host America's Cup:
"Rather than holding the races miles off shore, which was the case in Valencia and in Newport, where the Cup was held from 1930 to 1983, San Francisco Bay offers a natural amphitheater. Spectators in Financial District high rises, along Crissy Field, on Angel Island and in the Marin Headlands will be able to view the action."

Daily Kos: Why the rich get richer and poor get poorer

_______

Obama is gonna hire his next chief of staff from JPMorgan. You tell me if Obama will stand up to The Big Lie. Hard to stand up to something when you are behind pushing it.

Robert Reich: The Big Lie:
"The truth is our economic problems stem from the biggest concentration of income and wealth at the top since 1928, combined with stagnant incomes for most of the rest of us. The result: Americans no longer have the purchasing power to keep the economy going at full capacity. Since the debt bubble burst, most Americans have had to reduce their spending; they need to repay their debts, can't borrow as before, and must save for retirement.

The short-term solution is for government to counteract this shortfall by spending more, not less. The long-term solution is to spread the benefits of economic growth more widely (for example, through a more progressive income tax, a larger EITC, an exemption on the first $20K of income from payroll taxes and application of payroll taxes to incomes over $250K, stronger unions, and more and better investments in education and infrastructure.)

But instead of telling the truth, Obama has legitimized the Big Lie by freezing non-defense discretionary spending, freezing federal pay, touting his deficit commission co-chairs' recommended $3 of spending cuts for every dollar of tax increase, and agreeing to extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

Will Obama stand up to the Big Lie? Will he use his State of the Union address to rebut it and tell the truth? Maybe, but so far there's no evidence."

"The story of how one lone idiot, pimping an 18th-century brand of community terrorism, held the media hostage and forced some of this nation's most powerful people to their knees to fitfully beg an end to his wackdoodlery is an extraordinary one. It's a modern media retelling of Faulkner's 'As I Lay Dying', in which a gang of Islamaphobes, cast in the role of Addie Bundren, bamboozle the media into carrying their coffin full of malevolence on a journey of pure debasement.

Stereotype

A history lesson for Rahm's sorry ass:

Daily Kos: Happy F*ckin' Labor Day!
Before there were unions, there was no middle class. Working people didn't get to send their kids to college, few were able to own their own fucking home, nobody could take a fucking day off for a funeral or a sick day or they might lose their fucking job.

Then working people organized themselves into unions. The bosses and the companies fucking hated that. In fact, they were often overheard to say, "Fuck the UAW!!!" That's because the UAW had beaten one of the world's biggest industrial corporations when they won their battle on February 11, 1937, 44 days after they'd taken over the GM factories in Flint. Inspired by their victory, workers struck almost every other fucking industry, and union after union was born. Had World War II not begun and had FDR not died, there would have been an economic revolution that would have given everyone — everyone — a fucking decent life.

Nonetheless labor unions did create a middle class for the majority (even companies that didn't have unions were forced to pay at or near union wages in order to attract a workforce) and that middle class built a great country and a good life. You see, Rahm, when people earn a fucking good wage, they spend it on stuff, which then creates more good paying jobs, and then the middle class grows fucking big. Did you know that back when I was a kid if you had a parent making a union wage, only one parent had to work?! And they were home by 3 or 4pm, 5:30 at the latest! We had dinner together! Dad had four weeks paid vacation. We all had free health and dental care. And anyone with decent grades went to college and it didn't fucking bankrupt them. (And if you ever used the F-word, the nuns would straighten you out in ways that even you couldn't bear to hear about).

Mayor Daley isn't running for re-election. Sorry to do this to you Chicago, but please, jeebus take Rahm's ass out of the White House before he completely destroys the Obama Presidency.

Progressive Group: Rahm's A 'Cancer On The Democratic Party,' Should 'Flatly Go Away':
"Rahm is unfit to represent Democrats in office,' Progressive Change Campaign Committee co-founder Adam Green said. 'He's a cancer on the Democratic Party. Democrats' current 2010 situation is due to a weak Rahm Emanuel mentality that says water down real reform at the urging of Republicans and corporations, thus making Democratic reform less popular with voters than the real deal would have been. If Democrats had passed the overwhelmingly-popular public option and broken up the big banks when they had the chance, they'd be cruising for a landslide victory right now.'"

It is partly because of Rahm that we are receiving stupid tax cut bullshit news from the WH when tax cuts will not do one goddamn thing to create jobs.

Addicted to sucking GOP daddy dick, this WH is.

Harper Lee Speaks at Ala. Ceremony - The Huffington Post

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Pulitzer Prize-winning author Harper Lee is a woman of few words and generally avoids media interviews and public appearances.

But the author of "To Kill a Mockingbird" broke her silence briefly Monday at a ceremony inducting four new members, including former home-run king Hank Aaron, into the Alabama Academy of Honor. Lee, who lives in Monroeville, is a member of the academy, which honors living Alabamians, and was in the audience for Monday's ceremony.

At the end of the ceremony, Academy of Honor chairman Tom Carruthers joked with Lee, saying he knew she had something she wanted to say to the crowd.

"Well it's better to be silent than to be a fool," Lee said.

Japan's Plan For World's Tallest Building - Geekologie:

"Inspired by Mount Fuji, Taisei Construction Corporation has completed designs for construction of the world's tallest building. The X-Seed 4000 (no idea where that came from) would stand at approximately 13,123 feet (4 km), nearly 700 feet (213 m) taller than the real Mount Fuji. The next tallest buildings don't even break 2,000 feet, how puny! While likely to never be built, the X-Seed would have up to 800 floors, and be capable of housing between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people."

How? By unleashing Brain Age: Train your Brain in Minutes a Day upon an unsuspecting world of dummies. The game was a smash hit, topping DS sales charts worldwide and proving once and for all that, contrary to what they teach at that weird, hippy private school in your town, people actually love standardized testing.

"'Throughout history, many great nations have also failed to survive,' Walker told an audience in Chicago last week. 'I should point out that the longest standing republic and the major superpower of its day no longer exists, and that's the Roman Republic.' He warned of “striking similarities” between the current crises facing America and the factors toppled Rome, including “declining moral values and political civility at home, an over-confident and over-extended military in foreign lands and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government.'

'In my view,' he added, 'it's time to learn from history and take steps to ensure the American Republic is the first to stand the test of time.' America's top government inspector didn't stop there. He also bemoaned US fiscal policy, underfunded healthcare, poor public schools, lack of retirement benefits, a worsening environment, Iraq, aging infrastructure and immigration policy.
