NotesI was listening to Thom Hartmann talking to various people in NH and Ted Olsen was telling him how great Rudy was for New York. Grrr.
Carolyn Kay has her usual collection of media links, including:
- “Clear Channel could win FCC approval shortly. The scuttlebutt on Wall Street and in Washington is the FCC will sign-off on the $19.5 billion buyout by Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners soon – possibly by the end of the week. Only Democrat Michael Copps is expected to vote against the deal.” Caro notes that Mitt Romney, a founder of the company, still owns interest in Bain.
- Dean Baker finds Yet Another Protectionist Cry for “Free Trade” in the NYT that clearly is only about forcing low-skilled or low-paid workers to compete with Chinese slaves, but still protects high-earning professional jobs: “If the NYT ever let a real free trader write a column, they would probably also report on the enormous costs imposed on both the economies of the United States and developing countries through copyright protection and patent protection on prescription drugs. The latter raises drug prices in the United States by close to $200 billion a year (@ $670 per person) over their competitive market price. Free traders would be concerned about such costs. This sum is one or two orders of magnitude greater than the amount of money at stake in trade agreements like CAFTA.“
- Pat Robertson thinks God told him a Democrat will win the election – but he hopes he heard wrong.
- Oops! Did Barack Obama’s campaign run slightly illegal robo-calls in New Hampshire?
I see some else has gone plural, and it’s now We Love America More Than Anyone. And some videos of Americans in the Spanish Civil War. Sort of the opposite of Jonah Goldberg.
