- The Supreme Court gives away America's democracy saying that corporations are just like real people and it's absolutely fine if their massive profits are used politically to overwhelm the voices of actual flesh and blood individuals. You know, individual citizen voters. A whole new way for lobbyists to warp our system of government.
- In the It's Tough but Necessary to Fight Back category, let no one get away with the MSM lie that the healthcare reform bill has lost support by being too far to the Left. Per Joan Walsh, support has dwindled because it's moved AWAY from the Left...and towards the very corporations who will now be able to spend whatever they want to kill it or profit from it.
- Air America is no more. Not sure what will be on AM 1150 tomorrow morning. Does this mean no more Stephanie Miller on the drive in?
- Obama speaks up immediately against the Supreme Court decision, and legislation will be drafted to answer the ruling.
- Obama shifts the discussion from healthcare reform to bank reform, taking a populist position that some Republicans may find themselves having to support, following all of former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker's tough reform measures and marginalizing Wall Street insiders Timothy Geithner and (worst of all) Larry Summers.
- The "Move Your Money" movement, advocating taking your banked dough out of big huge national banks and moving them to regional banks, gets a big boost in New York City, where Mayor Bloomberg is moving $25 million to neighborhood credit unions.
I wish I could say the other good news is that healthcare/health insurance reform is still going to pass Congress...please, oh, please, put Dr. Dean in charge of Health and Human Services, or the goddamned Democratic National Committee again.
Rahm?
