"Competitiveness", Mental Health in Arizona, and Palestine Papers
January 24, 2011"We have deified businessmen while denigrating government workers," says Erica Payne of the Agenda Project, and there's no better example of that than President Obama appointing GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt to head a commission on jobs and competitiveness. Heading into the State of the Union speech, Heidi Shierholz stresses that businesses aren't hiring and creating jobs because there is not enough demand--because people are not buying goods or services.The F Word: Palestine Papers, Peace and Concessions
January 24, 2011The revelation of thousands of pages of confidential Palestinian diplomatic records has shocked the world -- all of it except the US, that is.Vince Warren: "Big Government" and Guantanamo
November 24, 2010The Republicans who will shortly be taking over the house after the recent elections have pledged to shrink the government and cut spending, but, Vince Warren notes, they seem to have no problem with "Big Government" when it's holding detainees indefinitely at Guantanamo Bay.Vince Warren, Hamid Dabashi, and the Crisis in Ireland
November 23, 2010The Republicans who will shortly be taking over the house after the recent elections have pledged to shrink the government and cut spending, but, Vince Warren notes, they seem to have no problem with "Big Government" when it's holding detainees indefinitely at Guantanamo Bay.Antony Loewenstein & Ali Abunimah: The Real Peace Process
July 21, 2010Peace process, proximity talks, one state, two state...though these terms are often tossed around the mass media, they have been rendered virtually meaningless. Instead, we see footage of Benjamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama shaking hands, waxing eloquently on the need for mutual peace as the US simultaneously slips Israeli more tax dollars to further cement their occupation of Palestine.William K. Black, Real Peace Process, and Top Secret America
July 20, 2010Former regulator, savings & loan investigator, and current Braintruster at the Roosevelt Institute William K. Black says that if Elizabeth Warren isn't appointed to head the consumer protection agency passed as part of the financial reform bill, it will be a clear sign that the agency isn't going to protect consumers at all. While Warren has done the research in the field for 20 years, he notes, other candidates preferred by Treasury Secretary Geithner have fallen more into the Rubin/Summers camp of deregulators.Demolition Plans Continue in East Jerusalem
April 3, 2010While people in the U.S. may be changing their minds about Israel and Palestine, citizens in East Jerusalem continue to suffer. Jennifer Utz visited East Jerusalem recently and reported on the plans to demolish up to 88 homes in the neighborhood of Al Bustan. Street clashes earlier this month were only the latest symptom of the mounting tensions.Drill, Baby, Drill, Palestine Land Day, and the iPad
April 1, 2010The announcement this week that Barack Obama would open up space along the Atlantic coast for offshore oil drilling wasn't a cruel April Fool's joke, sadly. The president who pledged not to "drill, baby, drill" our way out of energy and climate issues seems to be going back on his word.Max Blumenthal: Israel, the GOP, and the Coffee Party
March 16, 2010Max Blumenthal, author of Republican Gomorrah, joins Laura in studio to talk about recent news: the Obama administration's spat with Israel over settlements, the recent California Republican party convention, and the new "coffee party" movement.Max Blumenthal, Remaking Geithner and Checkpoints
