May 14 2009: Them's Fighting Words

Samuel H. Gottscho May the good lord shine a light on you December 15, 1931 River House, 52nd Street and East River. Parapet, 27th floor, New York Ilargi: As reported exhaustively, GM, in its present state, has only weeks left to live. So does California. The state, successfully terminated by the Terminator (though it'd be unfair to blame it all on his incompetent head), has brainstormed its way into two new bound-to-fail solutions for all its different -but still the same- conundrums.

September 11 2009: Through the prism of fraud and poverty

Timothy H. O'Sullivan He sleeps where he fell May 1864 Spotsylvania Court House, Virginia. Dead Confederate soldier near Mrs. Alsop's house. Grant's Wilderness Campaign, May-June 1864 Ilargi: I’ll try to take a slightly different approach today, while remembering the dead, and let someone else do the talking for a change. Yesterday, I picked up the article below, written by an investment adviser named J. S. Kim, who puts his finger right where it hurts most. [more...]

The Road Ahead As Obama Takes Office: A Green Light, A Roadblock, And A Bridge That Isn’t There

With Barack Hussein Obama making history today as he takes the oath of office and a wave of optimism engulfing the country, it is a good time to review what faces us on the road ahead. (The “us” I refer to includes Reds, revolutionaries, socialists, activists, progressives, and all the rest of us who (a) believe a better world is possible and (b) know that work and struggle is the only way to get there.) Let’s just stipulate one thing from the start. [more...]

June 18 2009: Over the edge

John Vachon Earth Colony November 1942 Storage tanks, Phillips gasoline plant, Borger, Texas. Ilargi: Tons of stories today, of course, on the reform plans presented and defended by Obama and Geithner. A few critical ones make some sense, at least. Still, I keep thinking they all miss the point. Which is that you very simply can't have bankers decide how reform themselves, even if they're on a brief sojourn in government. [more...]

Without Greed, There’s More Than Enough To Go Around

It’s Friday desk clearing time for this blogger. “When Harvey Clavon took out an exotic mortgage to refinance his home in Santa Clarita, Calif., three years ago, he thought he knew what he was doing. He planned to sell the home before the mortgage reset. Because Mr. Clavon made only minimum payments on his mortgage, his balance has risen to $680,000 from $618,000, on a house worth closer to $400,000. ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do,’ he said.

Atlas Shrugged: a brief review w/spoilers

“Mr. Rearden,” said Francisco, his voice solemnly calm, “if you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling, but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater the effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders — what would you tell him to do?” “I . . . don’t know. What . . . [more...]

Commentary: What an Awful Mess!

Despair Over Financial Policy by Paul Krugman - The New York Times / Common Dreams The Geithner plan has now been leaked in detail. It's exactly the plan that was widely analyzed - and found wanting - a couple of weeks ago. The zombie ideas have won. The Obama administration is now completely wedded to the idea that there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the financial system - that what we're facing is the equivalent of a run on an essentially sound bank.

Detroit Publishing Co. On the streets of Philadelphia circa 1908 Dock Street, Philadelphia Ilargi: And neither do I. I have a broken fan in my laptop that makes so much noise it paints the picture of working in the steam engine rooms of the Titanic.
