Can the Democrats Avoid a Populist Health Care Rebellion?
By Kevin Zeese Executive Director, ProsperityAgenda.US

Bloomberg reports that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s closest aides earned millions of dollars a year working for Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and other Wall Street firms. Bloomberg reports that none of these aides faced Senate confirmation. Yet, they are overseeing the handout of hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer funds to their former employers.

Salim Nazzal
October 16, 2009 will be remembered by many as the day Palestinians finally saw some justice when the UN Human Rights Commission endorsed the Goldstone report which found Israel guilty of committing genocide against the Palestinians.

ABC's Peter Jennings called him "a journalist's journalist." The New York Times featured his death on its front page (usually reserved for the rich and powerful) in a Peter Flint obituary titled, "IF Stone, Iconoclast of Journalism, Is Dead at 81." A quintessential muckraker, he described him as "the independent, radical pamphleteer of American journalism hailed by his admirers for his scholarship, wit and lucidity" over a career spanning 67 years.
