Goodie, Goodie Goodling
Grand Inquisitress Monica Goodling, Juris Doctor, formerly of the U. S. Department of Justice, defeated the House Judiciary Committee yesterday in a test of wills. Slim, blonde, sharp-featured, she must have been a dreaded presence in the days when she haunted the nation's federal prosecutors. This young lawyer, graduate of one of the least prestigious law schools in America, seems to have had considerable power over the nation's 93 U.S. Attorneys, and to have exercised it brutally and capriciously, as she neglected to admit to the committee, which is investigating the dismissals of nine federal prosecutors.
Goodling began her testimony by invoking her constitutional privilege against self-incrimination. In response, the committee gave her a court-ordered grant of immunity from prosecution, and she commenced to speak. She may never enjoy the fruits of that dispensation, however, which evaporates when a witness stops telling the truth. Whenever she was challenged to acknowledge her own lawlessness, her memory conveniently failed her. She did contradict statements made under oath by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, and she was generous in her criticism of Kyle Sampson, Gonzales' former chief of staff, but, beyond her reliance on the Fifth Amendment, she never uttered a self-incriminating word.
Goodling came up through the Republican party. Before her assignment to the department of political prosecutions, formerly known as the Department of Justice, Goodling was a "researcher" at the Republican National Committee. A researcher is somebody who digs up dirt to hurl at opposing candidates. In her latest job as a government lawyer, she applied her mudslinging skills to the selection of new prosecutors and to the destruction of targeted old ones.
There was more speechmaking than interrogation by the members of the committee. Piecing together Goodling's answers to the few coherent questions that were put to her, you get the impression she applied partisan tests to political appointees and civil service lawyers alike. She was intimately involved in the hiring process in U.S. Attorneys' offices across the country. She seems to have been screening candidates for prosecutors' jobs, even though she had only a few months experience as a prosecutor and even though the decision to hire or not to hire was the responsibility of the invidividual U.S. Attorneys. She questioned candidates face-to-face in some instances, and she researched each one exhaustively to probe his or her politics. In one case, she blocked the appointment of a lawyer looking for a job with the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. The guy finally got hired, despite Goodling's misgivings about his politics.
She remembered that she asked candidates for non-civil-service jobs about their political preferences, but she didn't remember whether she recalled whether she had any recollection of asking such questions of candidates for non-political positions. She didn't deny she did that, but she didn't admit it either. It's probably no coincidence that more than 100 graduates of her law school now work as U. S. government lawyers. One member of the committee almost challenged Goodling to say she acted illegally, but he ran out of time. She did admit she "crossed the line," but she wouldn't say what that line was.
She acknowledged that Gonzales testified "inaccurately" when he said he didn't take part in the selection of U.S. Attorneys for separation, and she was similarly critical of McNulty, who had blamed her in sworn testimony for withholding information from him about the firings. This seemed to satisfy the members of the committee, who were so blinded by her flowing golden tresses that they couldn't bring themselves to press her on her own culpability.
She denied that she played any part in compiling the list of prosecutors to be fired, a list that may have run to 30 or more names at one point, but she knew what was going on, because she was the person charged with digging up dirt on the people who were targeted. She had "no knowledge" of whether prosecutorial judgments entered into the decisions to get rid of the nine who were told to quit after the 2006 election. Her testimony suggested that her role became particularly important when McNulty and Gonzales were challenged a couple of months after the firings to justify them. "Performance-related," they agreed, citing bits and pieces of gossip Goodling had collected.
She was careful to distinguish herself as a devout Christian. She testified that she chose Christian education (her law school, Regent, was founded a few years ago by TV evangelist Pat Robertson) because of the opportunities for service. As a federal prosecutor. For an obscene salary. At age 34. Apparently, her status as a profoundly spiritual person exempted her from the obligations of an earthly oath to tell the truth, because her testimony, at least with regard to her own culpability, was about as convincing as her hair color. She wasn't able to count the number of lawyers whose reputations she soiled from her perch as a mudslinger and inquisitor.
She attracted a large contingent of photographers, as blondes so often do. Her career as a lawyer may be over, but we can probably look forward to seeing Goodling's long white face on cable news before long.

Chicago man arrested for Fourth of July battery in Oak Park
Victim released from hospital after two night stay
By Megan Dooley
An ugly incident which marred an otherwise perfect Fourth of July celebration in Oak Park ended with one Chicago man arrested and another city resident hospitalized with a head injury.
As the large crowd of fireworks fans dispersed in all directions from the area near Oak Park and River Forest High School just after 10 p.m., a foot chase and a fight occurred at the intersection of Lake Street and Ridgeland Avenue.
Ramen Griffin, 24, of the 5800 block of W. Huron in Chicago was arrested and charged with battery, after reportedly stomping on the victim's head while he was lying on the ground after a fall.
The victim, a 31-year-old male whose address is listed on the 300 block of S. Damen in Chicago, was hospitalized with cuts and a minor head injury. He was hospitalized for two nights for observation and then released.
Oak Park Police Commander LaDon Reynolds said a sergeant in the department was patrolling the area of Lake and Ridgeland when he observed the victim running across Ridgeland, being chased by the offender. According to Reynolds, the sergeant then saw the victim fall, landing facedown on the ground.
"[The sergeant] observed the offender stomp the victim's head with his right foot and then begin to walk away," Reynolds said.
The sergeant immediately took the offender into custody.
The victim was later taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
Crowds of people were walking near the scene after the fireworks show ended, and a number of witnesses reported seeing two suspects in custody, but Reynolds refuted that claim.
"We conducted extensive interviews and based on the info we've obtained, this is an incident between two individuals," he said.
Reynolds also refuted reports that the incident involved firearms.
"These are two individuals that are not Oak Park residents that had an exchange between the two of them and the offender was arrested immediately," Reynolds said, adding that the incident stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the two men that began before the battery occurred.

Should businesses abandon the Myers-Briggs test?
At Central Desktop, we're somewhat obsessed with learning more about how people work together. Our 9 types of collaborators quiz, infographic and benchmark report offer a fun, easy way to learn more about how you fit alongside your colleagues – and, as a manager, how you can build a team of high-chemistry collaborators. Our newly launched C-Index is designed to help you identify the best difference-makers, influencers and collaborators in your company.
Our 9 collaborators quiz isn't highly scientific, of course, but is meant to be more actionable than, say, "Which Frozen Character Are You?" On the opposite end of the spectrum from Buzzfeed quizzes is the Myers-Briggs, the O.G. of personality tests. Businesses have relied on Myers-Briggs for decades, and its results just kind of sound deep and serious ("You're an INTP? I'm an ESTJ!"). The general notion is that the test can spur better collaboration via a deeper understanding of the quirks and differences between colleagues.
"Knowing what Myers-Briggs type you are — and, crucially, knowing the types of your other team members — can be a great help in getting past those communication roadblocks on your projects," says longtime business analyst Tim Walker.
Plenty of people agree. "More than 10,000 companies, 2,500 colleges and universities and 200 government agencies in the United States use the test," reports The Washington Post. "From the State Department to McKinsey & Co., it's a rite of passage. It's estimated that 50 million people have taken the Myers-Briggs personality test since the Educational Testing Service first added the research to its portfolio in 1962." Whatever its faults – and we'll get to those in a moment – it's certainly an advancement over measuring your skull to decide whether you have what it takes to make it as a lawyer, or a cold corporation not bothering to think in terms of empathy and collaboration in the first place.
Roman Krznaric, author of How to Find Fulfilling Work, readily acknowledges the lack of scientific rigor behind Myers-Briggs, but says that the results can be a useful tool for self-reflection, at least when used in combination with other tools. For instance, your Myers-Briggs type may point out strengths you've ignored, helping you find alternate career routes. Even if it just helps you add a few new adjectives to your resumé… well, hey, that's something.
Some corporations have taken their attachment to Myers-Briggs to fairly extreme levels; according to one case study, managers at Hallmark often began meetings by asking attendees to call out their "type." Hallmark credited Myers-Briggs for increasing efficiency and improving "diversity of thought."
Plenty of psychology experts caution companies against experiencing similarly seismic results. Instead of aiming for widespread cultural change as a result of Myers-Briggs assessments, Psychology Today contributor (and professor of leadership and organizational psychology) Ronald E. Riggio, Ph.D., urges tempered expectations and a more measured approach. "Perhaps the best use for the MBTI is for self-reflection," he writes. "If used as a starting point for discussing how people vary in their personalities, and emphasizing tolerance for individual differences and taking others' perspectives, then it can be a useful tool. However, it is important that the test administrator caution against over-interpretation of the results, and discuss the limitations of the instrument."
One of the major criticisms of Myers-Briggs is the inconsistency in results; it's been documented to be pretty likely that if you take the test multiple times, you'll get varying results. This makes some sense, since it's obviously difficult to neatly compartmentalize all of humanity into 16 categories (sidenote: those categories aren't actually much more scientific than "Are you a Rachel or a Monica?"). Sometimes, though, the results are dramatically different, which poses some obvious challenges for organizations seeking a path to a uniquely personalized collaborative nirvana.
"When it comes to accuracy, if you put a horoscope on one end and a heart monitor on the other, the MBTI falls about halfway in between," says organizational psychologist Adam Grant. Grant, who's previously spoken with us about the importance of creating a culture of givers, has a list of suggestions for improving the test, starting with an abandonment of the outdated Carl Jung ideas that serve as the core of the analysis.
Myers-Briggs has another problem, although it's a problem that almost certainly is related to its enduring appeal: essentially all of the results can be cast in a positive light. Even in our 9 collaborators infographic, there are traits that would typically be considered problematic: dinosaurs who are slow to adapt, siloists who cause bottlenecks and security concerns, skeptics who serve as an occasional thorn in your side. In Myers-Briggs, basically everyone is a winner.
"This isn't a test designed to accurately categorize people, but a test designed to make them feel happy about taking it," says Vox's Joseph Stromberg in his withering recent takedown of Myers-Briggs. "This is one of the reasons why it's persisted for so many years in the corporate world, despite being disregarded by psychologists."
20 Responses to Should businesses abandon the Myers-Briggs test?
I think the test is massively useful but in a controlled and limited way.
Trying to build teams off the types is ridiculous and as bad as setting out with a goal of wanting a team with ratios defined be sex or colour. Other people knowing your type isn't necessarily useful either as it encourages dishonesty and favouritism.
However knowing our own tendencies can be massively empowering and helpful. Many people have a mental picture of their own behaviours that does not match reality, the MB test (if taken several times to iron our inconsistencies) can help make the real picture more clear for people and if they can understand that better they can become more effective.
As an interim HR Manager with 40 years experience it frustrates me how often I have to go in to battle with people totally wedded to the MBI, 16PF and other such nonsense. These instruments lack any scientific rigour but they appeal because they are simple to administer and are easier to apply for HR departments than is skilful interviewing and background research. They give HR departments the aura of scientific rigour when they are exactly the opposite, somewhat like homeopathy is to proper medicine. It always amazes me how few (usually none) of the users and advocates of MBI have ever bothered to research it, and if they have it should trouble them to find there has been nothing published in reputable journals to support it. They just take it on face value. To me this is professional negligence.
MBI is fun to use at parties and as an ice breaker so long as people are told it lacks any reliability as a predictor. It is criminal to use it to determine someone's fate in the job market and work place.
Couldn't agree more. It has become a substitute for instinct, experience and intelligent interview. Worse, it is now used to ratify or mask incompetence. Genuine HR expertise is now subordinate to daft-arsed application of these quack tests…….
I agree with this assessment. We have taken similar "tests" at work, and I've noticed that some of my teammates hold their (and others) results as gospel. Used in such a way, and in the wrong manager's hands, the results of these unscientific tests could prove to be (and rightfully so) the basis of a discrimination lawsuit.
actually, a horoscope is extremely accurate. that's one of it's draw backs. it provides so much detailed information that is is almost useless for describing group dynamics. and that's a key problem word, too. humans are dynamic — a calculus which horoscopes show — and to see any test as anything more than a snapshot in time of the 'film strip' of one's life is in error.
what one must consider is that there is a continuum of archetype to type and a useful tool falls at the right place on that continuum for the job at hand.
it is not the Myers-Briggs that is a problem, but those who do not know how to apply it nor educate people on how to apply it.
interestingly, Myers-Briggs arises out of Jung's encounter with astrology as the categories are based on the 4 elements of alchemy. knowing this, one can apply the essence of Myers-Briggs to things other than people's personalities. from how to cover a topic completely in writing to setting organizational goals to determining the value of actions. it is far more robust than most if any business has tapped into — but to do so requires real expertise.
so, you assert that horoscopes are accurate? cite your sources. if you can find one peer reviewed study showing the accuracy of horoscopes, i'll eat my own feces and post it to youtube.
What kind of Myers Briggs type posts a comment about posting comment upon the comments board related to the Myers Briggs test, anyway??
Waste of time. Out date testing method, more for amusement. I've always believed MB was a novelty act equivalent to astrology.
I took the Myers-Briggs test 1961 which was 53 years ago and found it interesting and helpful; interesting in that it revealed interests to which I was unaware and helpful in that it provided direction to my future career. The psychologist who later provided career counselling was well off the mark. I simply followed the money as I had a wife and family to support but in occupations which instinctively appealed to me. What the tests failed to reveal was the distinct tendency to function better on my own, that my IQ fell within the top 2% and so too did my view of life and that I had acute perception and sought to understand the principles behind things. Somewhere around the middle of the test it revealed that I had executive qualities. To a working class young man brought up in a dysfunctional family and being told that he was dumb and who never proceeded beyond primary education where he was a chronic truant, this came as a surprise yet, interestingly, this was the direction in which my career followed and on its conclusion I was the CEO of a public concern. At the time I took the tests I was frustrated with how my life was unfolding so it provided a some support but was it useful; well, not really, as I am certain that I would have taken the same course (or another closely aligned to it) that I had chosen from the circumstances in which I found myself at any given moment.
During the late 1970s I was subjected to the PF13 test at the Edinburgh Business School where it was suggested that I was a Bohemian which could not be further from the truth and that my motivation was negligible (meaning probably that I was laid back) but I cannot recall more about this tests except to say that I thought the questions where infuriatingly puerile.
Actually, I have a great deal more faith in handwriting analysis, if it is done with a proper sample and by someone who has made a study of it.
There is no definitive way to identify an employee's personality. MB is the closest that I have seen, if there were a silver bullet HR departments would shrink and we wouldn't all need therapy (yes WE ALL need it, if you think you don't then you need it more than most). This article does nothing to add to the discussion and frankly seems to be lazy writing with little or no thought by the author on what the point of the article is. Case in point, Adam Grant thinks the test should be improved not abandoned then lays this gem; " starting with an abandonment of the outdated Carl Jung ideas". There is so much wrong with this I will have limit my ire. 1. Jung's ideas are far from outdated, they still form the basis for all of modern psychology (has this Adam Grant schmuck even read Jung, the man is a genius) 2. MB is ONLY reasonably good because it uses true science based on the ideas of Mr. Jung, you don't get more physiologically scientific than Jung. So if Adam had his way he would abandon the Jungian part of MB, then there is nothing left. Such an obvious contradiction is evidence of how poor this article was conceived. There is no problem with MB, there is a problem with how it is used. That would be a useful article. And anyone that thinks any test (even IQ) is going to always be accurate is a fool, nothing is, it is how we use the information not the method used to collect the information.
Essentially, I agree most with Ieuan. I believe that, much as the article states, the MBTI is best used as tool to facilitate greater introspective self-knowledge, far moreso than anything that can be reasonably applied in a professional context.
I have found MBTI very helpful on a personal level, for example. My own type is INFP, and contrary to the views of some, I don't believe it is possible for an individual's type to change. I think the expression of their natural tendencies is liable to differ as they progress through life and react to their circumstances and environment, however the underlying tendencies, principles and cognitive processes that prompt the expression of those traits – call me deterministic, but I think they are more static, or at the very least are set early in life. It may not be true of everyone, and may not apply to certain individuals (ie genetic sociopaths) but when reflecting on my own experience it is certainly true of me, and considering certain negative stereotypes pertaining to the NF temperament particularly in a business context, I think it's reasonable to say it's more than just Forer effect.
The problem with applying it in an organisational or professional context is not only its lack of scientific verification but also the fact that it is very limited. Quantifying humanity beyond a certain vague accuracy is impossible. MBTI is more than just a collection of four letters as it is based on Jungian cognitive function theory. In my experience it is strikingly accurate in a very broad sense. An individual's type is more descriptive of how their mind works and how they process information more than anything else. Two individuals of the same type may share certain superficial similarities (and at times even similar quirks and or ideologies) but at the same time are profoundly different people. Type alone cannot encompass a person's life experiences, personal history and individual variance.
I fully believe that were my type to have been revealed to employers at some jobs I have worked at in the past then I would have been dropped from consideration, due to what I can only describe as 'typism'. Many employers are conservative and want hard data and guaranteed return on investment, both in products and people, where possible – I appreciate that. However, I'm of the opinion that relying disproportionately on psychometric instruments as a predictor of productivity and contributions is tantamount to a pre-emptive disqualification of a large number of people who may be of a great help to a company or contribute in unforeseen ways. People are multifaceted creatures.
The problem is that these tests aren't accurate if they are not administered by a professional. Most of us have taken them online, so of course the results are going to vary.
There is as much scientific evidence for the MB test as there is for Freud's – ie not much.They're selling into a widespread desire – 'Wouldn't it be great if we could categorise people by personality, you know, kinda scientifically?' but as for rigorous testing; forget it. In 100 years, when Psychologists agree on how people work, then you might be able to measure something useful; until then, Corporations, save your money and spend it on the office party – something useful to the workforce – rather than this useless BS.
MB is a load of pointless twaddle. As noted above, it has only risen to prominence because it provides departments with a quantified outcome.
Modern day equivalent of humorism.
The MBTI categories correlate moderately with four of the Five factor model, which does have some empirical support: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator#Big_Five
I can also say that I've found it helpful in understanding myself and other people. I agree, though, that it's best used for personal feedback, and should never be used for employment screening, or even probably career advice.
Anything that gives different answers on multiple tests needs to be called what it is: garbage. In this case it's garbage designed to make 7 billion people believe they're one of 16. Anyone or company that uses this is a joke. You may has well put 16 slips of paper in a hat and make new hires draw one. Hell, make it interesting and make everyone pick a new one everyday. Then someone actually gets one close to them once in a while.
I have four reactions to this article:
1. The title, as is so often the case in our media, is overly dramatic, although the article itself is balanced.
2. If you look at innovations over the past several centuries, many of them came from 'non-experts' in the particular field. Even Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist, won the Nobel Prize for economics. I have long admired the people who have connected the dots across disciplines to gain fresh insight and understanding. Such is the case with Meyers and Briggs, who took a normative concept from Jung's work and developed it into highly reliable (see next comment) and valid (in my opinion), practical tool based on lots of empirical work (they tested their questions and interpretations on lots of people to make sure the instrument worked for real people).
3. Re: the comment about the MBTI's lack of reliability over time: I have taken it at various times over the past 25 years and although my preference for some of my borderline elements varies a little from time to time, the elements for which I have the highest preference have remained consistent over all those years. I used to be certified to conduct MBTI engagements and give feedback, and this was true for others as well.
4. I am intrigued by the author's comment about the MBTI couching all the feedback in positive terms. I am eager to read Stromberg's and others' work to learn more about that, its implications, and alternatives.
Mr. McKibbon writes an opinion and extrapolates information from Psychology Today which is hardly considered by psychologists to be a valid, reliable source of research, rather congruent with People magazine. Citing Roman Krznaric, Dr. Ronald Rizzio, and Stromberg is okay, however, this writer de-emphasizes what these sources actually say about the MBTI. Hopefully, he had permission to do so.
The MBTI is the oldest and most widely researched non-diagnostic instrument used to assess eight dichotomous personality constructs related that were and still are deemed useful in determining best work/career preferences. At the time of its inception our country was heading toward war (WWII) and had implemented the draft and therefore needed a way to assess and guide the remaining work force (women) to jobs that they would be most likely to remain successful with low injury or drop out.
The MBTI assesses the psychological construct of interest which many authors have misguided readers into thinking that interest is a choice or character trait for individuals. In fact, it is a construct with astounding magnitude to the extent that there is no one instrument that can measure it, which is the point facto that psychologists actually advise/caution about. It has bearings on worker satisfaction, which is related to contentedness, but be cautious about equating these with "happiness" because "happiness" is
different, usually circumstantial and short-termed.
MBTI has had changing uses over the time for various reasons. I stopped using the instrument in the 90's because of the "rubber stamping" conclusions at the time. However, after learning that CAPT had significantly changed and researched the premises of the instrument and had changed to allow for personality changes context to context and over time, I began using it again.
It has tremendous use in helping illuminate personality differences amongst people in task-approach, listening analysis, communication style and energy differences.
Collaboration is an altogether different construct than interest. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater here and certainly not because Mr. McKibbon's own INTEREST in collaboration, rather than interest.

For those of you wondering what to get me for my birthday in July, look no further. The fine folks at The Prop Store have a couple of real nice Gremlins 2 props that would look lovely in my apartment - the foam latex Vegetable and Lenny Gremlin puppets that were used in the film. Both have been fully restored, and the animatronic mechanisms have been disabled to prevent any damage to the latex.
If you'd like to buy one or both for me, that'd be great. The Vegetable Gremlin is only $11,500, and the Lenny Gremlin is only $10,000. Bargain prices, if you ask me.
Thanks in advance.

10 Best Songs About Families
The 10 best songs about families are great songs about the love and togetherness of families. Some people think the definition of family is a mom, dad and children who reside in the same household. But the fact is that what makes people a family is the love that keeps them together. Many people have a tough time expressing themselves through words, so it is easier to express themselves through music. Here are songs that depict family life through words and music.
- "Keep it Together" by Madonna- This is one of the best songs about families. It is from Madonna's 1990 album "Like a Prayer." Lyrics: "Keep it together in the family/ They're a reminder of your history/ Brothers and sisters they hold the key." The song is about how important Madonna's family is in her life.
- "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge- The 1979 song from the album "We are Family" is also from the 2006 film "Mission Impossible." Lyrics: "We are family/ I got all my sisters with me/ We are family/ Get up everybody and sing."
- "Blessed" by Martina McBride- As one of the best songs about families, Martina belts out an amazing song about being blessed in several ways. It is from her 2001 "Greatest Hits" album. Lyrics: "When I, When I'm signing for my kids to sleep/ When I feel you holding me/ I know, I have been blessed."
- "Grandma's Hands" by Bill Withers- The song is one of the best songs about families. It is from Bill's 1971 album "Just as I am." It is about Bill's grandmother. Lyrics: "Grandma's hands/ Used to hand me piece of candy/ Grandma's hands/ Picked me up each time I fell."
- "A Song for Mama" by Boyz II Men- This is a beautiful song from the 1997 album "Evolution." The song appears in the movie "Soul Food." Lyrics: "Mama, mama you're the queen of my heart/ your love is like tears from the stars/ Mama, I just want you to know/ Lovin' you is like food to my soul."
- "My Father's Eyes" by Eric Clapton- Eric performs the best song about families. It can be found on his 1998 album "Pilgrim." The song is about both his father whom he never met and passed away in 1985 and his four year old son who died falling from an apartment window. Lyrics: "Bit by bit/ I've realized that he was here with me/ And I looked into my father's eyes."
- "A Family is What You Make It" by Jim Rule- Jim is a teacher as well as a musician. His album "Share This World" features the song about families. Lyrics: "Because a family is what you make it/ It's you and your loves ones, whoever they are/ You've got to give and take it." The song is meant to celebrate the meaning of families.
- "Love Remains" by Collin Raye- This is one of the best songs about families. From the 1995 album, "I Think About You," Collin puts his heart and soul in this song. Lyrics: "We are born one fine day/ Children of God on our way home/ Mama smiles/ Daddy cries."
- "Somebody's Hero" by Jamie O'Neal- This song appears on Jamie's 2005 album "Brave." Lyrics: "She's somebody's hero/ A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee/ A little kiss is all she needs/ The keeper of the Cheerios."
- "Love Can Build A Bridge" by The Judds- This is without a doubt one of the best songs about families. The song can be heard on the 1990 album "Love Can Build A Bridge." Lyrics: "Love can build a bridge/ Between your heart and mine/ Love can build a bridge/ Don't you think its time?"

Empire of Chaos: How 9/11 Shaped the Politics of a Failing State
Continued from previous page
At the same time, the United States is unable to order the world so that social benefits are disbursed to the middle classes not just the upper crust. It can spread disorder as evidenced by the six countries tormented by America's video-game bombing campaigns, but it's ability to conquer and rule on land is minimal given the Iraq and Afghanistan quagmires. Its control of the skies, outer space and electronic mediums allows it to disrupt but not to dominate.
This has given rise to new power configurations. Latin America's left turn had made the IMF irrelevant in that region, undermining the U.S.-organized financial order. The Arab Spring has eroded the U.S. political order in the Middle East and gives lie to the Orientalist ideology that Arab and Muslim nations are irrational, violent and backward. Turkey and Egypt are pulling away from being Israel's watchdogs and provide a buffer against a U.S.-orchestrated attack on Iran. And the spread of popular public occupations now to Europe echoes the period when another world did seem possible. Another hopeful sign is that more U.S.-based organizing is opting for occupations rather than legal, polite and ineffective protests.
The disorder is felt profoundly on the home front. Beginning in the 1980s IMF austerity was for the periphery – from Latin America to East Asia. The austerity has now moved to Greece, Ireland, Spain, Great Britain and the United States. The ideology is the same here as it is in the Third World: when choosing between the health of bondholders and the health of human societies, the bondholders always win and profits must keep flowing to the banks.
The repression of left and progressive dissent has left the state in the hands of a fanatical right wing and their corporate allies. The U.S. political system is unable to respond to the needs of rational capitalists. On Aug. 26, at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke pointed to the housing crisis, political dysfunction and the " extraordinarily high level of long-term unemployment" as the main symptoms crippling the economy. Warren Buffet has been pleading for the government to raise taxes on the super-rich like him. Influential economist Nouriel Roubini said in August that in the last few years there has been "a massive redistribution of income from labor to capital, from wages to profit … Karl Marx had it right, at some point capitalism can self-destroy itself."
Bill Gross, a Republican and a chief investment officer of the "giant bond fund Pimco," recently told the New York Times that to "arrest America's dangerous economic slide" government currently needs to provide refinancing relief for homeowners, provide loans to small business, which the banks are not providing, and most of all, rebuild the nation's decaying roads, bridges and airports so the government can create jobs directly because the "private sector is not going to do it."
So even as some of the chief managers and intellectuals of American capitalism are calling for government jobs, higher taxes on the rich and more stimulus to bail out the economy, the political class is busy force-feeding us austerity coated in trillion-dollar war budgets.
Not that this is entirely irrational. The staggering amounts of money spent on war, spying, the military, mercenaries, policing and all the other security apparatuses creates many millions of jobs. Add to that secondary contracting, support services and economic activity generated by all these workers and you have millions of jobs more. And given all their dependents, this means tens of millions of Americans benefit directly from the war economy. This is a wasteful form of Keynesianism, employing school teachers and healthcare workers is far more beneficial to society and the world than building drones and airport X-ray scanners, but the huge economic base that is the American way of war is part of the reason it's so hard to dismantle.

PM favors February election if no budget passed
Likud primary polling place 390.
(photo credit:Ben Spier/screenshot)
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will initiate an election that is expected to
be held between mid-January and mid-February if, as expected, agreements cannot
be reached with Shas and other coalition partners that would enable the passage
of the 2013 state budget, Netanyahu said in closed conversations Tuesday
night.Netanyahu met with Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz (Likud) and
Shas leader Eli Yishai on Tuesday and will continue to hold consultations until
the Knesset's winter session begins on October 15, before making a final
decision to give up on the budget and initiate an election.Sources in
the Prime Minister's Office said that if it were possible to pass a
"responsible" budget, he would do so. But if that is not feasible, they quoted
Netanyahu as saying that early elections would be called.The prime
minister said it was "important for government stability" that he complete four
years in office. He was elected on February 10, 2009. By law, elections must be
held on Tuesdays and February 12 is the first Tuesday after that date, so
sources close to Netanyahu received the impression that it was the prime
minister's preferred election date.Sources in the coalition reported
that serious talks on the budget have not been held, even though it must legally
be submitted to the Knesset by November 1.The chances of passing the
budget diminished Tuesday as arguments were revealed between Netanyahu and his
coalition partners.Defense Minister Ehud Barak (Independence) recently
asked Netanyahu for a guarantee that he would be in his next government and when
the prime minister refused to make such a commitment, Barak vowed to take
revenge by opposing the budget.Netanyahu told Steinitz that on a recent
trip to the US, Barak exacerbated tensions between Netanyahu and US President
Barack Obama's administration in order to be seen by the US as the savior of the
peace process.Yishai, for his part, blamed the Treasury for not working
to prevent an election.Denying reports that Shas was the main obstacle
to passing the budget, Yishai said he received the impression that Netanyahu had
already decided to initiate elections.In a sign that elections are near,
thousands of Likud activists attended a Succot toast outside the home of
Transportation Minister Israel Katz in Moshav Kfar Ahim.In his speech at
the event, Katz attacked the Likud's rivals, including opposition leader Shaul
Mofaz and Mofaz's predecessors as head of Kadima, Ehud Olmert and Tzipi
Livni.Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin said at the event that if Netanyahu
so chose, he could initiate an election in an hour when the Knesset reconvenes.
But Rivlin said he thought Netanyahu would prefer to wait a week or two to
complete the passage of key legislation.At a Succot toast at his home in
Kochav Yair, Mofaz said Kadima was ready for elections at any time. He attacked
Labor leader Shelly Yacimovich and said he was the only candidate fit to replace
Netanyahu.Yacimovich, meanwhile, called upon Netanyahu to lift the fog
and announce elections immediately."Setting a date will eliminate
uncertainty that harms the economy," she said."Israel needs elections in
order to choose between alternatives and reset the national agenda."Herb
Keinon and Lahav Harkov contributed to this report.

Pre-match charade is not the real peril facing GAA
Faux bravery will remain but risk of serious injury in hurling needs immediate action

Armagh and Cavan players clash during the pre-match parade before their Ulster SFC quarter-final at the Athletic Grounds. Photograph: William Cherry/Inpho/Presseye
The murmurs that went around Tuam Stadium on Sunday afternoon, where I was watching a club game, will be familiar to many. The stadium announcer had already told us of Mayo's narrow escape from Hyde Park, but the stand was abuzz with word that there had been a big row in the Cavan/Armagh game . . . during the parade.
And so we tuned into the Sunday Game, outrage button at the ready. As is so often the case, the players in question came off looking ridiculous. Telling them they are a stain on this great Association they represent doesn't appear to have much of an impact, so maybe informing them that they looked like a bunch of drunks trying to help each other put on their jackets at the end of a long night might shame them into improved behaviour.
They just looked like idiots. It was all a little unseemly and grim-looking, until Armagh's Ciarán McKeever tried to sneak back up to the top of the queue after two minutes of fighting had finally abated, and we then finally crossed the line into high farce. The spectre of violence hangs over many moments in the course of a GAA game, but I wouldn't have thought the pre-match parade was one of them.
But Oisín McConville told us on The Irish Times Second Captains podcast on Monday that there were occasions during Joe Kernan's reign that Armagh would insist on marching on the side closer to the crowd – I would have chalked this down as a Northern peccadillo (and Oisín's already made all the 'flag/marching/traditional parade route' gags there are to make) but Ciarán Whelan had also said something similar on the Sunday Game.
I didn't know that there was a preferred racing line for players in a pre-match parade – if you're on the inside (so the logic goes), you're further away from the crowd, plus you have to slow down as you turn the corner . . . and you obviously don't want to do that.
It's a minefield, what with players inevitably cramping up at the rapid deceleration on that inside line, or worse still, treading on team-mates' Achilles tendons, endangering the careers of your brothers in arms.
Given the energy with which Cavan and Armagh players went about their quest to parade on the side closest the crowd in the Athletic Grounds in Armagh on Sunday, this is a major psychological battlefield that we weren't even aware existed.
