The Safer Cities Initiative has succeeded in keeping poor people off the streets. The vast majority of the 12,000 police citations issued in the first year of the program were for jaywalking.


Linda Valverde was an insurance administrator for 20 years. She never expected to live in Los Angeles? Skid Row. Neither did Michelle Autry, a dancer and writer who grew up in Los Angeles and Sacramento, Calif., and speaks five languages. Joe Thomas, a Vietnam War veteran born in Springfield, Ill., also didn?t plan to live in a single room occupancy (SRO) hotel in the area.

Obama Needs a Shot of LBJ

clipped by: foxyarse
clippers remarks: As distasteful as he may find doing so, Obama and his Congressional liaison staff must get in the faces of the recalcitrant members of his own party and barter, bargain or beat them into submission.

It?s all well and good if the president wants to stay above the fray in his era of post-partisan politics. But why isn?t Rahm Emanuel body slamming Blue Dogs against the wall like LBJ and say, ?There?s isn?t a Senator on the Hill who doesn?t want something. What do you want? We can drop our opposition to the defense budget rider you?re pushing. Money? We?ll give your state billions. Access? How about a weekend at Camp David for you and the family? What about stepping off Air Force One with the president back home?

Obama Needs a Shot of LBJ


Lyndon Johnson had many tragic flaws as president, but one thing he knew how to do is get his legislation passed. Members of Congress called it getting ?the Johnson treatment? which ranged from flattery, promises of federal money for a pet project back in the district or even rides on Air Force One to bullying and outright threats of White House retribution.


The LBJ treatment

The LBJ treatment


As a result, before Vietnam consumed and then destroyed his presidency, LBJ got a reluctant Congress ? controlled almost entirely by conservative, often openly racist, Southern Democrats ? to enact Medicare, massive civil rights legislation, expansive voting rights measures, huge anti-poverty programs, generous education funding, financial sector regulation and a raft of other Great Society measures that made life better for tens of millions of Americans of all ages, races and income brackets.


In fact

Barack Obama was able to be elected because of laws LBJ got enacted.

Overseas-born spouses deported from Australia


July 27, 2009

HUNDREDS of overseas-born spouses are being deported from Australia each year after failing Green Card-style intimacy tests.


Authorities have intensified efforts to expose sham marriages amid a surge in spouse visa applications.

Kissing

The Immigration Department said a special unit would assess whether relationships were genuine.

Like the 1990 movie starring Andie MacDowell and Gerard Depardieu, suspect couples are split up and interviewed separately about their lives together.

"We might ask them for the floor plan of the house theyre supposed to live in together," department spokesman Sandi Logan said.

Mr Logan said a two-stage visa process was used to deter rorters.

Partner visas are first issued for two years. Couples must prove their relationship is genuine and ongoing for permanent residency to be granted after a temporary visa expires.

Less than 10 per cent of spouses who had visas revoked progressed to permanent status.

Sex with Bruce Springsteen

clipped by: pennyserenade
Clip Source: www.alternet.org
Two minutes and ten seconds into Born in the U.S.A., the first of the album?s many female characters appears. She is given no physical or character traits; just two lines detailing her relationship with a fallen male hero. ?He had a woman he loved in Saigon / I got a picture of him in her arms,? Bruce Springsteen proclaims, in the voice of a destitute Vietnam vet recalling his departed brother, killed in the same war that ruined the narrator?s life. It is a telling image, and properly foreshadows the role of women in the U.S.A. where Springsteen and his characters were born.

"Born in the U.S.A.", which turns 25 this year, stresses male sexuality as imperative to the American Dream. Where does that leave women?

GIANT CAVE PICTURES: Worlds Biggest Found in Vietnam

clipped by: clip-on-tie
clippers remarks: Vietnams Son Doong cave, the largest single cave passage yet found. First explored earlier this year by a joint British-Vietnamese team, the cave measures at least 262-by-262 feet (80-by-80 meters) in most places and is at least 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) long.

A massive cave recently uncovered in a remote Vietnamese jungle is the largest single cave passage yet found, a new survey shows.


At 262-by-262 feet (80-by-80 meters) in most places, the Son Doong cave beats out the previous world-record holder, Deer Cave in the Malaysian section of the island of Borneo.


Hang Son Doong cave

The joint British-Vietnamese Caving Expedition 2009 was conducted over five days in Vietnam?s Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in mid-April 2009.


Adam Spillane, a member of the British caving team was quoted as saying, "It is a truly amazing sized cave and one of the most significant discoveries by a British caving team."

Agent Orange linked to Parkinsons & heart disease

Agent Orange Ups Risk of Parkinson?s, Heart Disease

Agent Orange, the herbicide sprayed by the U.S. Army on the jungles of Vietnam during the war from 1962 to 1971, may have triggered Parkinson?s and heart disease in American soldiers who fought there

The conclusion, from a committee of the Institute of Medicine in Washington

During the Vietnam war, 2.75 million American soldiers served in and around the southeast Asian country and may have been exposed, said Bernard Edelman, deputy director for policy and government affairs of Vietnam Veterans of America.

In addition to millions of U.S. military personnel, tens of millions of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians also came into contact with Agent Orange, said Fred Wilcox, a professor at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, whose 1983 book ?Waiting for An Army to Die: The Tragedy of Agent Orange?

?The health effects on the people of Vietnam are monumental,? Wilcox said

Christian nutballs aim to change history for Texas schoolchildren

clipped by: disenchantedcitizen
clippers remarks: Aside from the obvious violation of the First Amendment, where the separation of church and state is established, Texas needs to be reminded that our public education system is established to teach our children the truth, not hearsay.

It is unconscionable for our public school system to be used to rewrite history. There is no historical evidence that our founding fathers ever intended the US to be a Christian Nation.

Texas, if you can get your kids into church you can teach whatever religion you think is appropriate, but keep it out of our schools, because believe it or not, not everyone holds your ideas of what this country was founded on.

Any school board that gives credence to the likes of the so-called ?expert? Reverend Peter Marshall who preaches that Hurricane Katrina and defeat in the Vietnam war were God?s punishment for sexual promiscuity and tolerance of homosexuals has got to be so far in the dark ages that they don?t want to be taken seriously and is lost to all re


The Christian right is making a fresh push to force religion onto the school curriculum in Texas with the state?s education board about to consider recommendations that children be taught that there would be no United States if it had not been for God.

Members of a panel of experts appointed by the board to revise the state?s history curriculum, who include a Christian fundamentalist preacher who says he is fighting a war for America?s moral soul, want lessons to emphasise the part played by Christianity in the founding of the US and that religion is a civic virtue

Opponents have decried the move as an attempt to insert religious teachings in to the classroom by stealth, similar to the Christian right?s partially successful attempt to limit the teaching of evolution in biology lessons in Texas.

Remembering Walter Cronkite

Walter Cronkite Reassures America

Walter Cronkite sits behind a desk and listens to a receiver as he broadcasts a program looking back at the Hindenburg airship disaster for the CBS Television series "You Are There," which reenacted historical events in a news-report format. He always signed off saying, "What sort of day was it? A day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our times ... and you were there." He started off in the 1930s as a Kansas City sports announcer using the pseudonym Walter Wilcox.
