I had unsubscribed from the Seder podcasts, but my wife came back from two weeks in San Francisco and reset the downloads on iTunes. So we got a copy of this guy Barber's show from Friday. (The computer thinks he's Sam.) It's the weekend here, and we've run through the new Randis and Malloys we had, so we thought we'd give him a listen.
What a yutz! Saying stuff like "I'm happy-snappy, how's your Pappy?" and calling people "cats."? What a swingin' hepjive, daddy-o! I agree with the poster who said he seems straight outta the 60s. Not that there's anything wrong with the 60s, but I get the feeling this Barber would have been an old fart even then. We turned it off and deleted the podcast after he was arguing in defense of Giuliani (even though he admitted he knew nothing of Rudy's record) and said that the cousin-marrying fascist was right to crack heads because how else would you rule a city like New York. Yeah, and Mussolini made the trains run on time. Is this guy channeling Michael Weiner? So sad for America that it's sunk to airing such crap.
I check in here every few days to see if Sam has got a new gig going. Seder is SO sharp in comparison to the garbage that now fills his slot, and I haven't even heard Lionel yet. I hope Sam gets a real deal, not the weekend thing on pathetic lil' AAR.
Good luck to you people. I'm watching with sadness as America continues to sink. I still have dreams of being able to return to a democratic country, but I'm starting to wrap my mind around the idea of being buried here. I suppose there are worse places to be...
History of Mother's Day Email this article Printer friendly page
Mother's Day began with a woman named Julia Ward Howe (Battle Hymn of the Republic), who nursed the wounded during the American Civil War. In 1870 she started a crusade to institute a Mother's Day as a Day for Peace. Here is her Mothers Day proclamation.
Proclamation
"Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether our baptism be that of water or of fears!
Say firmly: "We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says "Disarm, Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."
Blood does not wipe our dishonor nor violence indicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them then solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after their own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God.
In the name of womanhood and of humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women without limit of nationality may be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient and at the earliest period consistent with its objects, to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace."
The adoption of Mother's Day by the 63rd Congress on May 8, 1914 represented a reversal of everything the nineteenth century mothers' days had stood for. The speeches proclaiming Mother's Day in 1914 linked it to celebration of home life and privacy; they repudiated women's social role beyond the household. One antisuffragist leader inverted the original intent entirely when she used the new Mother's Day as an occasion to ask rhetorically: If a woman becomes "a mother to the Municipality, who is going to mother us?" Politicians found that the day provided as many opportunities for self-promotion as did the Fourth of July. Merchants hung testimonials to their own mothers above the wares they hoped to convince customers to buy for other mothers. A day that had once been linked to controversial causes was reduced to an occasion for platitudes and sales pitches.

NEW YORK - The city cannot prevent the public from seeing documents describing intelligence that police gathered to help them create policies for arrests at the 2004 Republican National Convention, a judge said Friday. ADVERTISEMENT
U.S. Magistrate Judge James C. Francis IV made the ruling regarding documents about information the New York Police Department says it used.
The city had contended that the documents should remain confidential, saying opening them would jeopardize the city's rights to a fair trial. Lawsuits allege that the city violated constitutional rights when it arrested more than 1,800 people at the convention.
The judge stayed his ruling for 10 days. Peter Farrell, a city lawyer, said the city is considering an appeal.
"The decision is a vindication for the public's right to know and a total rebuff of the Police Department's effort to hide behind the cloak of secrecy when it comes to its surveillance activities," said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, which sued on behalf of some of those arrested.

Excerpts:
I'm not sure what can be done to make it any clearer that media criticisms have nothing to do with a desire that journalists be more "partisan." Most media criticisms that I hear -- and the criticism I voice -- so plainly have nothing to do with that. Here are three of the principal criticisms made:
(1) Mainstream journalists pompously spout claims that are factually, objectively, demonstrably false -- and then, in their pomposity, refuse to acknowledge or correct their error.
(2) Journalists mindlessly pass on government statements without bothering to investigate if they are true. And they grant anonymity to government sources to do nothing but spew false government propaganda with impunity.
(3) National journalists wallow endlessly in vacuous, vapid, empty-headed, petty gossip, obsessed with meaningless chatter and snide, personality-based assaults more appropriate for a junior high clique than anything else. And they do so while ignoring the most substantive and consequential political matters.

i think its a valid comparison. america is descending into a fascist hell day by day. its a road that has been traveled before and if you can get people to understand their history perhaps its a road that we won't travel again. May 5, 2007 7:31 PM ______________________
First, I don't agree with the historical comparison.
Second, I strongly disagree with your comments.
Generally, people do not and will not associate themselves with Nazis and/or fascists. That is precisely why people will discount and ignore these types of comparisons and comments. (It is not "their" history).
Questions:
Why do you think America is descending into a "fascist hell" day by day? Do you have any specific points or examples that you would like to share? What actions should be taken to change what is happening in America now?
I hope to catch you later. I won't discount or ignore your response.
a simple definition of fascism is a government run for the corporation by the corporation where people are subjagated (?sp) to the corporation. i think that this is exactly what has happened in the past six years.
- consider bankruptcy reform - consider dick cheneys energy policy - consider all the legislation passed by the neocons that favors the corporations
now toss in elements of a police state:
- suspension of habeas corpus - illegal wiretapping - national id cards
mixed in with a siezure of the main stream media
and i think my description is reasonably accurate.
- well right now i spend a lot of time bitching on this blog. i know that doesn't count for much :)
- seriously, i actively support by financial donations, mainstream progressive causes from the democrats, the dccc, the dscc, russ feingold, move on, and vote vets.
- i will confess that this year i have backed off on giving to the dems for two reasons
a) i am disappointed that they haven't taken washington by storm and that they seem to cave the first time someone goes boo.
b) i am waiting to see how the presidential race sorts itself out. there is only so much money to go around.
thanks cat chew. got the rest of the article. i forwarded the link and a note of displeasure to the editor. won't hold my breath waiting for a response.
The prosecutor in Abu-Jamal's 1982 trial for killing a Philadelphia policeman used nearly all of his fifteen challenges to remove blacks from the jury.
The jury that convicted Abu-Jamal contained only two blacks in a city where forty percent of the population was black at the time of trial.
That jury contained a white man who said from the outset that he would not be fair to Abu-Jamal and other whites who "had close friends or relatives who were police officers," noted author/investigative reporter Dave Lindorff in his excellent book "Killing Time: An Investigation Into The Death Row Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal."
Rulings by Pa's Supreme Court have consistently rejected allegations of discriminatory jury selection at Abu-Jamal's trial but a federal District Court judge found evidence of this misconduct meriting appellate court review.
In contrast to Abu-Jamal's case, the Pa Supreme Court granted an appeal from Wilson after finding evidence of discriminatory jury selection by his trial prosecutor.
The prosecutor in Wilson's case was the instructor in a now infamous Philadelphia DA Office training video showing new prosecutors how to evade US Supreme Court prohibitions against excluding blacks from death penalty juries.
Lindorff and other experts say the instructions on that 1987 training video reflect long-standing discriminatory jury selection practices utilized by Philadelphia prosecutors.
Lindorff writes in his book, "the Philadelphia district attorney's office, over the period 1977-1986, including the trial of Abu-Jamal in 1982, struck black jurors 58 percent of the time, compared to only 22 percent of the time for white jurors."
The specific prosecutor in Abu-Jamal's trial, according to scholarly research, struck blacks 74 percent of the time during that 1977-1986 period compared to 25 percent for whites.
The fact that the Pa Supreme Court curtly rejected Abu-Jamal's jury discrimination claims while granting relief to Wilson and other defendants using similar evidence is often cited as an example of double-standards authorities employ in the Abu-Jamal case.
Amnesty International's 2000 report on the Abu-Jamal case criticizes Pa's entire state judicial system for rulings against Abu-Jamal based on political considerations instead of legal precedent.
Not only are we ignoring our promise to help eliminate global poverty, we are losing jobs in our own country. In 2000, the US was 1 of 191 countries to agree to the UN Millennium Goals, which set 2015 as the year by which we can cut severe poverty in half and 2025 as the year by which it can be eliminated. We need to tell our representatives that it's time to create and implement a plan to carry out the Millennium Goals, because poverty is a priority.
