&feature=shareThe New York Times Downplays The Influence Of Money In Politics
The New York Times downplayed the impact of the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling and dismissed the influence of money in politics by ignoring record-breaking spending of outside groups, the role of large donor political contributions, and dark money in the 2014 midterm election.
A December 9 New York Times Magazine article entitled "Who Wants to Buy a Politician?" argued that the "forecast that a flood of money would follow" the 2010 Citizens United ruling has largely not come to fruition. Author Binyamin Appelbaum noted that "spending has declined in each of the last two congressional elections" and argued that spending on campaign elections is "economically inefficient" because campaign spending has little impact on election outcomes:

Right-Wing Torture Commens
So I went on a right-wing website and saw these comments on torture
I keep trying to figure out why this harridan would be so willing to endanger the lives of so many. And now we find out this morning that the bad guys are going to use all the techniques in the report to inflict pain onto any westerner they can get hold of.
I have concluded that she has 3 issues:
1. She is blinded to reason because of her seething hatred for the right which has been further inflamed by the mid-term election disaster for the left and her pending loss of relevance.
2. She is a genuinely low IQ individual who is not only learning challenged but is also bereft of common sense.
3. She is angry beyond our ability to comprehend at every pretty woman in America, most of whom are on the right, not the left. Thus her antipathy toward this group colors everything else in her life and, I suspect, drives her every move.
In short, she is in need of a host of psychiatrists, similar to the group of "spiritual counselors" Bill "Horn Dog" Clinton needed to help him "straighten out" his penis problem after he turned his wife into "the most humiliated woman in the world", a distinction she will carry to her grave
Second comment
The deceit and treachery of what Feinstein and her colleagues, enablers, and cheerleaders have done here is far worse than anything the CIA or the Bush Administration ever did. It is written in the Bible "Judge not lest he be judged." The judgment of history will be very harsh on Senator Feinstein.
If anybody knows who Ms. Feinstein, she is corporate moderate-to-liberal democrat. Unlike the progressive left which is very skeptical on intelligence agencies, Ms. Feinstein seems to have more faith and trust in the intelligence agency's method and tactics. She has been to big defender of the intelligence agencies compared to others on the progressive wing of the party.
I find these comments to be really ingenious especially knowing her history. I am afraid that the commentators live under dark
cave and believe that neocon propaganda.
And people like this is exactly why we have the Congress that we have. How do you knock common sense into these people? At this people, I believe that these people genetic makeup plus life experience combines a toxic stew of nonsensical conservative paranoia and belief.
Head to Head - Should the US get out of Latin America?
&feature=em-uploademailAnother Racial GOP Memem
So here is another conservative meme
Why does every GOP meme have incite racial issues (black vs white). What the meme forgot was that George Bush lied to the American people about a war that happened based on fictional assumptions.
We failed to impeach George Bush for lying about intelligence about an illegal war.
And they have the balls to put up the meme.
Who is kidding who?
George Soros predicts class war and riots
He Daily Telegraph rreports
"In an interview ahead of a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the 81-year-old said that for the first time in his career he was baffled by the current state of the market, and saw no way to avoid a violent crisis which at its worst could result in the total collapse of the financial system.
Known as the "man who broke the Bank of England" after betting against the pound on Black Wednesday in 1992, Mr Soros plans to use his Davos address to issue a stern warning that he now considers it "more likely than not" that Greece will default in 2012. And unless Europe's leaders do more to stop it, the euro is likely to collapse with a devastating impact on the rest of the world, he will add.
The financier compared the crisis to the collapse of the Soviet empire and the Great Depression, adding that the old belief in the power of the market to prevent turmoil could no longer be relied upon.
He told Newsweek: "The euro must survive because the alternative – a break-up – would cause a meltdown that Europe, the world, can't afford. I'm not here to cheer you up. The situation is about as serious and difficult as I've known in my career. We are facing now a general retrenchment in the developed world.
"The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case scenario is a collapse of the financial system. We need to move from the Age of Reason to the Age of Fallibility in order to have a proper understanding of the problems."
So what is the solution? That is for you to decide.
Free Wifi in Bavaria
Soon you'll be able to tweet from the top of Neuschwanstein. Photo: DPA
Finance minister Christian Söder wants to drag Bavaria online with an ambitious plan for far-ranging public internet access by 2020.
The Münchner Merkur reported that Söder wants to install free wifi at 60 offices and buildings belonging to the state finance ministry – including publicly-owned lake tour boats and remote rural castles.
By 2016 all Bavarian official buildings should have free wifi, he said.
A third step to the plan would have free wifi access points in every municipality by 2020.
But Söder doesn't mean that the entire area of Bavaria – including forests, fields, and mountains - should be blanketed with free wifi.
With most routers having a range of around 12 metres, that would be impossibly expensive.
The opposition Social Democratic Party (SPD) nevertheless mocked the plan, saying that people needed wifi more in city centres than in castles.
Söder also announced eight “BayernLabs”, regional IT centres with the fastest-available internet access, to be opened to schools, businesses and municipalities.
