Police Brutality At The Jefferson Memorial



On May 28, 2011 Television host Adam Kokesh and several other activists participating in a flash-mob were arrested at the publicly-funded Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Their crime? Silently dancing, in celebration of the first amendment's champion; a clear violation of their right to free-expression. In an excessive use of force, video was captured of Adam being body slammed and placed in a choke for his non-crime.

Just As We Suspected Dept

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has updated a widely cited chart to show that Bush-era tax cuts to the rich and two ill-advised wars - not the economic downturn - are primarily responsible for the massive debt now driving Republicans to cut health, education, social services and every other remotely useful program. As usual, the visuals speak louder than any numbers.

Dozens of Cuba's oldest citizens are meeting at Havana's posh Hotel National this week, to celebrate another anniversary of the "120 Year Club." The organization claims more than 5,000 seniors as members,
with many aged 100 or older.
They hope to reach the 120-year mark through healthy diet, regular exercise, and positive thinking.

I Worship the Ground That Paul Ryan Walks On



Former vice president Dick Cheney heaped praise on House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, author of the GOP’s budget blueprint to phase out Medicare and
replace it with a subsidies system for seniors to buy private insurance.

“We need to get serious about dealing with [our] debt problem,” the former vice president explained.
Most of the government’s $14.3 trillion debt is a result of Bush-era policies, such as tax cuts for the wealthy and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Good Times - The Investigation



Is Michael working for the Cuban government?
Michael begins doing research for a school term paper about the Communist party. But instead of heading to the public library, Michael writes a few letters of inquiry to the Cuban government. The results are both swift and terrible: Michael and the rest of the Evans family are targeted as a likely "security risk" by the FBI.

Florida Voters Turn Thumbs Down On Scott

Florida voters disapprove 57 - 29 percent of the job Rick Scott is doing, the worst score of any governor in the states surveyed by Quinnipiac University and down from a 48 - 35 percent disapproval in an April 6 survey, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Jim Hightower On FSU

For only $1.5 million,
(Charles) Koch bought a big chunk of the economics department of Florida State University. His donation gives him control of a new "academic" program at this public institution to indoctrinate students in his self-serving political theories. The billionaire gets to screen all applicants, veto any he deems insufficiently ideological, and sign off on all hires. Also, the department head must submit yearly reports to Koch about the faculty's speeches, publications, and classes, and he evaluates the faculty based on "objectives" that he sets.
