  • What Obama’s Doing With Fox News « Whatever – I think some people are under the impression that the White House wants Fox News to disappear. Nothing, I suspect, could be further from the truth. The White House is in fact delighted that Fox News and its merry cast of commentators exists. Nor is the White House vexed that its every pronouncement concerning Fox News solidifies Fox’s core audience; that’s actually the plan. The point is not to moderate Fox News by accusing it of being biased/not a real news organization/running or being the propoganda arm of the GOP; if anything, the point is to make it more extreme in the views it airs.

  • Towns Find Obstacles To Saying ‘I Do’ To Mergers – CBS News – Some New Jersey lawmakers believe they’ve found a solution in having their cash-strapped state act as an ersatz Match.com for towns looking to merge. The state is offering to pay for studies and give a property tax credit to homeowners whose taxes would rise. The aim is to save money and escape Gov. Jon S. Corzine’s plans to slash aid to more than 300 towns with fewer than 10,000 residents. If that doesn’t work, these towns risk losing state aid.

  • Where are the Best Cities for Job Growth? | Newgeography.com – The study is based on job growth in 333 regions–called Metropolitan Statistical Areas by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which provided the data–across the U.S. Our analysis looked not only at job growth in the last year but also at how employment figures have changed since 1996. This is because we are wary of overemphasizing recent data and strive to give a more complete picture of the potential a region has for job-seekers.

  • PsyBlog: Leaders Emerge by Talking First and Most Often – Crucially, though, the study showed that not only did a leader's dominant behaviour of itself encourage others to see that person as competent, but this was true even though their suggestions to the group were no better, or even worse than others. In reality the leaders did not always make the best contribution to the task, but their voices were usually heard first and most often.

  • Best of the ’08 Campaign: The effective use of history—By Scott Horton (Harper’s Magazine) – History is grabbed by the roots when it is used to remind a new generation of the accomplishments of the past, when it is used to inspire a people to accomplish what they can and prevent what they must. The invocation of history is particularly powerful when it is used to remind a nation of aspirations long cherished but not fully achieved. The image of that tall and gangly lawyer from Springfield has been summoned to motivate a new generation of Americans to reclaim a democratic legacy. It has served to power a political campaign that has known few equals in the nation’s history. The election on Tuesday will mark the beginning of the end of a great national nightmare. But still greater tests are ahead of us.

Good, Bad, or meh? Why do some fight, and some say fukit?

I was going through drafted posts deleting aborted ideas, and I came across one for this post from BOPNEWS. I’ll give you a quote that’s the essence of the article, read through it as well:

For those hoping that things will get better in the US after 2006, I have a simple message.

Wake up.

[...]

The result? Well, there really is only one: a bankrupt America that gradually gives ground to China – which also has lots of coal, but does not have the land rush cycle – and finally ends up as a washed up has been power, with delusions of adequeacy.  Read more...
