J.P. Morgan Apologizes for Military Foreclosures:

An apology, the Big Media move on to the next shiny object, so to speak.

And this disgraceful thievery hurts Chase and Dimon?

Approximately not in the least.

Obama Counterterrorism Speech - The President's Tightrope Walk:

What I’ve said: terminal collapse. Because things done wrong cannot be made right.

“There is another story line, though, one brought to light by the tale of Laurene Powell Jobs. She is the widow of Steve Jobs, one of the tech titans who received the most criticism for a lack of philanthropy. Yet for more than two decades, his family has been giving away money — anonymously.”

- Some of the .1% can only give if there’s some sort of aggrandizement involved. Like Bill Gates wants to seen as using his obscene wealth to save public education. By making schools more efficient Khan Academies.

However much Jobs and Powell Jobs have given away, I’d bet their money, being targeted, has accomplished more good.

Moore, before and after.

Sandy was at least a magnitude worse.

They’ll get my sympathy after they vote out their rotten elected leaders.

Which is to say never.

People like that are ignorant and don’t and can’t learn.

Heaven.

Sweet!

What a burden it had to have been to be Marilyn in the last ten years or so of her life. Would have been so much easier now — indeed any time starting a couple of years after her death.

“Perhaps, when we remember wars, we should take off our clothes and paint ourselves blue and go on all fours all day long and grunt like pigs. That would surely be more appropriate than noble oratory and shows of flags and well-oiled guns.” — Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

True, as a rule.

Certainly covers all U.S. wars since WWII — which F.D.R. had to connive us into, we were so happy to do the right thing.
