During my morning peruse through the paper, I found a shocking headline: Bullet train cost estimates rise to $98.5 billion. I wasn't surprised at the cost; it's well-established that "infrastructure spending" is a fancy way of saying "giant black money hole." (Hooray for inflation to boot!)...
That's the question David Mark at Politico's Arena forum asks, with this explanation: Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain’s shifting responses to allegations of sexual harassment dating to his time as president of the National Restaurant Association have left his campaign reeling. Has Cain’s campaign done itself politically...
"Teabagger" is the pejorative of choice for left-wing bloggers and an occasional Democratic politician, when trying to vilify supporters of the Tea Party movement. It is a slang term which describes a sexual act. And it is a term used by Hilda Solis, Secretary of Labor, as reported...

#OWS's policy of having no set views has its advantages. They can include all manner of extremists and unsavory characters while preserving plausible deniability when taken to task for their relationship with such socially-unacceptable figures. Daniel Sieradski, #OWS's main Jewish organizer, last seen thinking up new...
