Taiwan Bonds at One-Week High as Economy Slows; Currency Gains
Taiwan's five-year government bonds traded at the highest level in more than a week on speculation investors are seeking the safest assets as the island's economy slows. The local currency strengthened.
The central bank held borrowing costs unchanged at 1.875 percent on June 21, a day after government data showed export orders declined for a third month in May and the jobless rate climbed. German Chancellor Angela Merkel told lawmakers yesterday that she "doesn't see" shared debt happening in the euro area, ahead of a two-day summit of European leaders to tackle the region's financial crisis that starts tomorrow.
"Economic uncertainties continue to favor bonds," said George Pu, a bond trader at Sinopac Securities Corp. in Taipei. "But now that the central bank decided to hold rates, the room for yields to go down even more is very limited."
The yield on the 1 percent bonds due January 2017 was 0.930 percent, compared with 0.932 percent yesterday, according to Gretai Securities Market. That was the lowest level since June 19. The benchmark five-year yield fell seven basis points, or 0.07 percentage point, this quarter.
Taiwan's dollar gained 0.1 percent to NT$29.960 against its U.S. counterpart, according to Taipei Forex Inc. It has dropped 1.4 percent since the end of March and reached NT$30.070 on June 5, the weakest level since Jan. 17. One-month implied volatility, a measure of exchange-rate swings used to price options, fell 25 basis points to 4.30 percent.
The overnight interbank lending rate was steady at 0.51 percent, according to a weighted average compiled by the Taiwan Interbank Money Centre.

With a hundred-watt twinkle in his eye and a Kentuckee twang in his voice, Brad Pitt cavorts through "Inglorious Basterds," playing Nazi-scalping Lt. Aldo Raine as though he's doing the latest "Oceans 11" movie instead of refighting World War II.
At the top of his game and reversing a trend that's had studio bosses wondering if those A-list stars are worth their $20 million paychecks, Pitt's collaboration with writer-director Quentin Tarantino seems a marriage made in box-office heaven. Topping the charts this week, "Inglorious Basterds" is being likened to "Saving Private Ryan" and World War II classics from bygone times.
Unlike those films, however, Tarantino doesn't see any contradiction between doing history and tacking on a surprise ending. Everyone may already know how things turned out in reality, but that doesn't deter him from presenting his version.
To rewrite an immortal song line from the encyclopedia of film trivia he carries around in his head, the fundamental things don't apply, as time goes by.
Taking inspiration from a 1978 Italian war movie by the same title (but spelled correctly), he fights World War II by his own rules. The "Pulp Fiction" auteur has hillbilly Pitt leading a band of Jewish-American soldiers behind enemy lines in occupied France, where a fastidious German colonel (played by a fascinating Christoph Waltz) hunts French Jews with creepy zest.
The "Basterds" settle the score with knives and baseball bats, massacring German soldiers and mutilating their bodies. It's grisly psychological warfare, the kind of barbaric sadistic acts our side is supposedly fighting against. It's intended to unnerve the Nazis (the way Pitt says the name sounds more like the nasties.) And the strategy works, eventually getting the attention of the apoplectic Der Fuhrer (Martin Wultke) himself.
Tarantino brings his distinctive style and wonderful storytelling gifts to the saga, divided into five chapters. It all leads up to the premiere of Joseph Goebbels' latest propaganda film in a Parisian theater that will be attended by all the leaders of the Third Reich. Why, if the Basterds could crash that party, the rest would be, as they say, history.
Adding brash swagger and more contemporary attitude to World War II movie cliches, Tarantino picks up the "Defiance" theme of Jews who didn't march meekly to the ovens, but fought back with savagery to match the Nazis' ruthlessness.
Along with the noble cause of fighting Hitler, the "Kill Bill" creator adds his own reckless kind of fun. He frames shots and spices the soundtrack with esoteric cinematic references, then shades the whole thing with the blackest humor and stomach-churning, over-the-top violence whenever things lag.
As with Baz Luhrman's epic misstep, "Australia," you get the sense that for Tarantino, the purpose of World War II wasn't to rid the world of fascism, but instead, to generate great war movies.
It's not an accident that the climax comes in a movie theater, coinciding with a film within the film. In Tarantino's universe, believing - truly believing - in movies trumps believing in whatever they stand for.
Wanting to have it both ways, paying homage to cinema myths while winking at the audience, leaves a strange lasting effect. Fueled by Pitt's tongue-in-cheek charisma and Waltz's intriguing creepiness, I thoroughly enjoyed the wild ride for two hours. Unfortunately, the movie's two-and-a-half hours long.
Pitt was quoted by People Magazine this week saying this should be the last World War II movie. "With Basterds, everything than can be said to this genre has been said," he reportedly told a German magazine. "The film destroys every symbol. The work is done, end of story."
Maybe. But what bothered me at the screening I attended was that at the two-hour mark, several of the young guys sitting around me reached for their cell phones. It was as though we had simultaneously hit the deficiency zone of their attention disorder.
Whether they were texting or actually talking ("Yeah, I'm watchin' a movie, wassup ?) their glowing little screens were like fireflies in the dark.
To the old guy in their midst, it broke the spell. It raised the troubling thought that when it came to World War II, they might well mistake Tarantino's creative license - sort of like a Nazi-themed fever dream - for what really happened.
Or the scarier thought that one way or the other, they didn't much care.

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in the Inland Empire rose 1 cent today to $4.022, the largest daily increase since June 22nd.
The average price in Riverside and San Bernardino counties is nine-tenths of a cent more than one week ago, 6.3 cents higher than one month ago and 36.7 cents greater than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The pump price could continue to rise because of an approximately 40-cent per gallon increase in the last two weeks in the wholesale cost of gasoline, stemming from concerns over supplies caused by ``exports of refined gasoline to more profitable markets overseas and continued refinery issues,'' according to Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.

Simple Supper: Parmesan And Lemon Pepper Baked Chickenaggieskitchen
You know that commercial you keep seeing from Hellmann's about their Parmesan Crusted Chicken? Well, I made it for my family the other night, and I have to tell you it was delicious! I added my own zing to the crunchy coating and served it alongside some Roasted Broccoli and simple roasted red potatoes (coated in leftover chicken breading) and it was a perfect meal that was on the table in less than 30 minutes.The chicken itself cooked for about 20 minutes, and I threw in the veggies right along with it so that everything was cooked and ready at the same time. You can't help but love it when your whole family gives you a big thumbs up, like mine did, after cleaning their dinner plates – without being forced. to. Try it on your own family, they won't be disappointed.
You can find my twist on the recipe for Parmesan and Lemon Pepper Chicken over on my blog Aggie's Kitchen.

The Silver Revolution
Harry McGee
RTE broadcast a documentary in the past few weeks about Ireland's student 'revolutionaries' of the late 1960s. Once they finished university, three of the four (Ruairi Quinn, Una Claffey and Kevin Myers) began a journey that is all too familiar in the west… from left wing to centre (and to the right in once case) and from outsiders to pillars of the establishment. Anyone who flicked through at the CVs of the New Labour frontbench during Tony Blair's first two terms would have discovered a rag bag of communists, hard-left student politics leaders, Marxists and Trotskyite (Jack Straw, John Reid, David Blunkett etc) who had back-flipped totally.
The Budget-day decision on Over 70s medical card has proved to be a fiasco. The idea to introduce cards was a noble idea. The problem is that the then Finance Minister Charlie McCreevy (him again! All of his chickens are now coming home to roost!) didn't bother consulting with doctors before introducing it. That was a big mistake. The medical profession as an interest group is hard-core… just look at the marathon hold out over a new contract by vastly over-paid consultantans. They knew they had their hand on the tiller when it came to the hard-chaw negotiations.
The IMO went in and got a golden deal for GPs and a lousy deal for the taxpayer. Just look at the math. For over 70s, there are two ways of getting a medical card. If you already have a medical card – or qualify for one on grounds of pay – you keep it. That accounts for the bulk of pensioners – 215,000. For each medical card, the GP gets paid a flat fee of €161 a year.
However, the new medical card (an additional 140,000 people over 70 qualified for it irrespective of means) was of a different order. GPs got paid an annual fee of €640 for every one, over four times higher than the means-tested medical card.
There was a grotesque imbalance here. The 215,000 who were actually entitled to a medical card cost the State €161 each per year while the 140,000 who qualified on age grounds cost the State €640.
Essentially GPs made a lot of money out of this scheme. There was a doctor on Joe Duffy (who wasn't challenged by Duffy) who said that his practice had expanded from five doctors to seven, from one nurse to two or three, and from two secretaries to five in the interim. In other words, he was saying he invested the extra money in his practice. That's not a justification. If he expanded his practise, he expanded his income. Sure if I got an extra €30,000 a year from my employer, chances are that I would invest it in building an extension to the house to accommodate a snazzy office.
Cleary there was an inequity at the heart of it that had to be tackled. The likes of Tony O'Reilly having a medical card is almost preposterous.
But the Government's decision showed that Fianna Fail's boast of staying close to the heartbeat of ordinary people has deserted it. The announcement was flagged in the run-up to the Budget but was done in a cack-handed way. Pensioners everywhere panicked, irrespective of whether they were losing the card or not. The communications was abysmal. Fianna Fail TDs were not briefed for 24 hours. There was uncertainty over who would keep the card and over who would lose it. The Governmen took two days to pony up the thresholds.
By that time the damage was done. The chat shows and phone shows were over it like a plague. How did the Government not know, for godssake. Joe Duffy ran with the medical card story EVEN BEFORE theBudget was announced. And it was only when FF TDs started getting swamped with calls (one man told his TD that he was going to kill himself – that's how emotional it was) that the Government started to act.
Last night's clarification on thresholds was being played as a bit of a climbdown. But the story is not going to rest there. I'd say that FF TDs will get in their ear at their constituency clinics this weekend and this controversy – people-led- will rumble on for weeks.
The inequity of the system needs to be tackled. The Government will just have to break the contract and tell GPs they can no longer get €640 per patient. But to do it in a way where over 70s don't lose out. There are working class areas without proper GP cover now. The reason for that is simple. Doctors won't get there when they know that the over 70s there will be worth only €161 to them. Much better to go to more affluent middle class areas where they will be guaranteed a glut of patients in the €640 class.
And make no mistake about it, this is people red. Revolution and reactionary tactics are not just the tactic for protected university students.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich's lead over his Democratic challenger, Ed FitzGerald, has been cut in half over the past 5 months, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll. But the first-term Republican's 2014 reelection campaign remains on fairly firm terrain, even if the poll raises doubts about whether his stewardship in Ohio can appeal to voters in the race for the GOP presidential nomination two years later.
Kasich leads FitzGerald, the new poll shows, 44 percent to 37 percent. That is down from a 14-point lead in June, though Kasich enjoyed leads of roughly 10 points in two earlier polls this year.
The June Quinnipiac poll had been the most recent live-caller survey in the race until Tuesday. Two automated surveys from the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, one in August conducted on their own and another earlier this month commissioned by the Ohio Democratic Party, had showed FitzGerald running neck-and-neck with Kasich.
The week after the June survey was released, Kasich signed a budget that included new restrictions on abortion. And last month, Kasich pushed through Medicaid expansion to provide low-income Ohioans with medical coverage. The Quinnipiac poll found that Medicaid expansion is relatively popular, with 51 percent saying it is a good idea. Tuesday's release didn't include questions about the abortion restrictions, though data on Ohio voters' opinions on other issues are forthcoming in a future release.
Despite the narrowing race, there are some signs Kasich remains the favorite for reelection. A majority, 52 percent, approve of the way he is handling his job as governor, while 33 percent disapprove. More voters, 48 percent, think he deserves reelection than the percentage of voters who don't think so, 39 percent.
Kasich nears the end of 2013 more popular than he began it, even if the ballot test is tighter since the previous poll. In early December of 2012, though his approval rating was net-positive, it was only at 42 percent. And his reelect was upside-down: Only 36 percent thought he deserved reelection, compared to 43 percent who didn't.
FitzGerald, the Cuyahoga County executive, remains unknown to most voters: 71 percent say they haven't heard enough about him to form an opinion. He's picked up only 13 points in name-ID since last December, equally positive and negative.
If Kasich wins reelection, his name will likely enter the discussion over the GOP presidential nomination in 2016; Kasich briefly ran for president in 1999 before dropping out of the race. But, at least in Ohio, the Quinnipiac poll points to some pitfalls. Even though the majority of voters think Medicaid expansion is a good idea, just 28 percent of Republicans agree. And just 14 percent say Kasich's decision to expand Medicaid makes them more likely to vote for him in the gubernatorial election, while 24 percent say it makes them less likely to vote for him.
The Quinnipiac University poll was conducted Nov. 19-24, surveying 1,361 registered voters. The margin of error is plus-or-minus 2.7 percentage points.

In one of the first polls released since Monday night's debate, a Reuters/Ipsos survey shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump 44%-38%. When third-party candidates are thrown into the mix, Clinton's share of the vote drops to 42%, with Gary Johnson picking up 7% and Jill Stein at 2%.
The Senate voted on Wednesday 72-26 on a bill to fund the government through Dec. 9, averting a looming shutdown. The legislation will now go to the House, where it could be voted on as early as Wednesday. After this legislation is approved by the House, Congress will recess until the lame-duck session following elections.

ARLINGTON, Wash. — Washington state authorities put off updating the death toll from a catastrophic mudslide after previously saying they would announce a substantial spike in the number of fatalities.
Snohomish County District 21 Fire Chief Travis Hots said Friday the official death stood at 17, though searchers have located additional bodies that are not part of that toll.
Officials previously braced the small communities 55 miles northeast of Seattle that they would announce a significant jump in the number of deaths Friday morning.
Hots now says the new numbers will be released Friday evening. He says the information must come from the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office after they go through the process of identifying the bodies that are recovered.

NIC announces new ride sharing program for students
Return to news room
It won't solve the parking issue on North Idaho College's campus. But it could help, while offering students companionship and helping them save money on gas.
NIC announced recently the start up of its new ride sharing program, initiated by the Associated Students of NIC (ASNIC).
"Our ultimate hope is that we can provide this service to students and they can save money on transportation, lower gas consumption and possibly even improve the parking crunch on campus," said this year's ASNIC President Josh Gittel.
ASNIC has always offered a ride share board that was displayed in NIC's Edminster Student Union Building. Students would post available rides or ride wanted notices and wait for a response. The board was underutilized, according to NIC Director of Student Activities Dean Bennett, because students weren't always aware of its availability and were often uncomfortable divulging personal information on a board "for all the world to see."
That's why ASNIC decided to sign on with
, a free web-based ride share program that helps link people looking to carpool. With NIC signed on as one of the dozens of colleges and universities participating in the ride share program, students looking to share their commute to or from school can view only those students from NIC seeking ride partners.
The system requires only a valid e-mail address to sign up. Although students accessing the program will enter information about themselves ranging from basic information such as where they are commuting to and from to preferences such as what type of music they listen to and if they prefer to drive, ride or share driving responsibilities.
The online system matches users with potential carpool partners and sends an e-mail to both participants when a match is found. Participants have the option to send a blind e-mail to one another to determine if indeed they would like to share a ride.
Personal information on users is never displayed or shared to other riders until the users themselves decide to give it out.
"The new system has greater protection of personal data," Bennett said. "You don't have to use your full name, contacts are made through e-mail, you don't give out location information and it will allow you to check out your contact if you feel you need to. We recommend that students take all precautions necessary before revealing personal information."
The system already has six participants signed up and Bennett said he expects more from throughout the area.
"With students all across the five northern counties of Idaho served by North Idaho College, the implications of this program could be huge if it can help link students that may drive a hundred miles roundtrip each day to campus from outlying areas," Bennett said.
Ride sharing opportunities are not limited to school carpooling either. Some NIC students have already used the ride share program for recreational trips to area ski hills.
Students that participate in the program receive incentives such as a $10 discount on NIC's Outdoor Pursuits trips or equipment rentals, a 10 percent discount on a day lift ticket at the Summit at Snoqualmie and a $5 discount coupon at area Jiffy Lubes.
sign up.

For their daughter's 3rd birthday, dads Bill Horn and Scout Masterson (here with Simone in her personalized purple scrubs) teamed up with pal and party stylist Jenny Keller of Jenny Cookies to create the perfect event based on Disney Jr.'s popular show, Doc McStuffins, at their Los Angeles home on June 1. "Simone loves Doc McStuffins – the cartoon is so colorful and fun. So we loved the idea of using it as the theme," says Horn.

Advancing Software Reuse of Linux, Windows Code on the Mac
,----[ Quote ]
| One DIY solution on Linux is to use Wine, which is neither simple nor broadly
| capable of running everything, but can be very useful for certain

| The more consumer-oriented audience of Mac users is less likely to be happy

Vista to Ubuntu (100%)

| another and also happened that I was running with time to finish a project
| report. No, Iâm not running on 256 ram, itâs 1 GB and this kind of a time
| wastage is totally unacceptable. You may ask why I put up with Vista in the
| first place. Thatâs thanks to HPâs decision to embrace Vista so my laptop was
| pre-built with Vista and no chance to downgrade because there are no drivers.
| So where to go now ? Easyâ¦.Gutsy. Â* Â* Â*

| But my worries were groundless as Wine now supports Macromedia 8 series like
| a babe. Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash all works perfectly with Wine -
| installation to Execution. Another great thing with Gutsy is that my Broadcom
| network card support is inbuilt and with some additional applications I can
| search networks and connect to them like a charm. Also Iâm using AWN manager
| to manage desktop (here is a great article on desktop styling - thanks to

| else I can ask for ? Â* Â* Â*
Does WINE + Linux support more Windows apps than Vista?

| WINE supports most of the applications which are made for Windows

JACKSON, MI – The Community Action Agency received a federal housing grant to assist Jackson County residents facing a tax or mortgage foreclosure.
The $21,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will fund certified housing counselors that can direct Jackson County residents to state assistance programs like the Michigan State Housing Development Authorities Step Forward programs.
About 1,861 properties in the county are in the forfeiture status with the county treasurer for non-payment of taxes, at least for now. These do not include Mortgage foreclosures.
"The number is still high compared to past years but we will continue to whittle that number down," Jackson County Treasurer Karen Coffman said early June.
About 762 of the properties are located in the city.
Since 2008 the number of parcels foreclosed on in Jackson County for non-payment of taxes has risen an astonishing 435 percent. The state identified Jackson County as a "hardest hit" area when it comes to foreclosures.
In 2008 there were 55 tax foreclosures. In 2009 that number almost doubled to 104. In 2011 there were 226 foreclosures and in 2012 there were 400.
Jackson County residents facing a mortgage foreclosure have been steadily decreasing.
The CAA counselors are certified through HUD and do not ask for payment for the counseling services. Housing officials have warned homeowners to be aware of foreclosure scams where the "counselor" or supposed mortgage company asks for money in return for services. This is a red flag.
The CAA provides homebuyer education and counseling; foreclosure prevention financial management as well as assisting homeowners with budgets and home repair.
The Housing Counseling program is open to all county residents regardless of income.
MSHDA announced this year for the first time its Step Forward Michigan program has been expanded in an effort to help homeowners facing tax foreclosures due to non-payment of taxes. In the past, this program was focused on mortgage foreclosures only.
The change took effect Jan. 15.
"Make no mistake, these grants will do a lot of good," said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan in a statement. "The HUD-approved counseling agencies this funding supports are crucial in helping families manage their money, navigate the home buying process, and secure their financial futures.

Story by Christine Basham
More and
more Americans are leaving the places where they grew up. The
experiences of travel, and the career opportunities certainly are
worthwhile. But without a traditional extended family living together,
many people feel distanced from their roots.
By the 1680s, his family had spread beyond Friendship in Charles

A veteran of the U.S. armed forces who had served during wartime gave an impromptu speech Wednesday during a ceremony to honor those who serve, or have served, our country.
The vet recalled returning from his time of service to something less than a rousing welcome. To hear this coming from a Vietnam veteran would be a shame - but, sadly, not unexpected.
But those unrehearsed comments came from a veteran of World War II.
Fortunately, residents in Seneca and Hancock counties took steps Wednesday to correct that oversight. Thousands of flag-waving people turned out to welcome the American?Veterans Traveling Tribute and replica Vietnam Memorial Wall to Tiffin - and, more importantly, the veterans and service members who took part in the escort.
The tribute's mission is to "create a forum for communities to come together to honor, respect and remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country and to educate all to the cost of freedom.
Now is the time for community members to honor, respect and remember those who contributed so much to our nation. The tribute's exhibits will be available for viewing until 4 p.m. Sunday.
Pay special attention to te memorials. As the World War II veteran said, the soldiers and sailors who deserve the most thanks are those who did not return.
"It's the ones that give up their lives and are not here," Huss said.

Skip to comments.Mort Zuckerman: Why the Country Is Unhappy Under Obama
Posted on 10/07/2012 10:35:57 PM PDT by neverdem
In the debate Mitt Romney suddenly assumed the stature of a president while American hasn't found its way under Obama's failing leadership
When you accumulate some of the adjectives from the pundits, the media, and other appraisals that were not from the right but from baffled sympathizers and centrists, there is no doubt that President Barack Obama clearly lost the debate this week, as a matter of both substance and tone. Take your pick from the river of insults: listless, meandering, lazy, dull-brained, long-winded, languid, and flaccid were just some of the epithets from the pundits. Even the New York Times opined that "He lost his competitive edge." The worst that Mitt Romney's relatively few critics could come up with was that his tax cut was unaffordable.
All Obama could do was repeat the charge, and Romney was able to make the pledge that he would not reduce revenues through his tax cut because they would be offset by the elimination of special write-offs and loopholes. What was remarkable was that Romney, who has been in everyone's dog house for months with an erratic campaign, has suddenly assumed the stature of a president. He was warm, articulate, logical, informed, forceful, and most important, presidential. He was more engaged, more detailed, more decisive, more animated, more aggressive in attack, and more robust in defense than the president, who was lackadaisical and without mastery of the facts or the ability to respond to what was put forth by his challenger.
But what is at issue isn't debating style, questions of posture and demeanor, "gotcha moments," or "You're no Jack Kennedy" zingers. The fundamental issue for America is that we seem to have lost our way and we haven't found it after four years of the Obama administration, thanks to a leadership...
(Excerpt) Read more at usnews.com ...
Only through the Romney-can't-possibly-beat-our-boy-king propaganda filter of the "news" media.
Mort supported Obama bigtime in 2008, but he's been writing more than a few very negative OpEds since then.
Yes, we saw through Obama, but Mort, the sophisticated billionaire, was fooled.
Which makes one wonder.
Boy, I sure can't hear that enough.
Most people who supported Obama were making a mistake but you, Mort - you were one of the people who made a blunder, because you should have known better.
Thanks for the verification. I guess I need a refresher course in/on forgiveness, because I just do not have it in me as I read this to 'feel' much more than you are too late Mort in recriminations over a blight you help create.
Exactly. Zuckerman is a reasonably smart, wealthy guy who should have known better. I guess even smart people can let their emotions get away from them.
He's been writing a number of mea culpas for more than a year now. This latest article is well-constructed and all of his arguments are sound.
The Romney campaign should probably cut and paste a lot of these arguments made by Zuckerman, many of which have been stated here on Free Republic since the beginning of Obama's reign, and use them in commercials and future debate prep.
Zuckerman's breakdown of employment statistics and economic data is particularly strong.
You'd think these rich guys would be smart but supporting a commie imbecile Kenyan is not a lapse of judgment but sheer stupidity. Let him write more of his articles to cover up for his hopeychangey embarrassment..
I have thought this over and over - why did I - an "ordinary" person in Portland, Oregon - figure out that zero is a sack of $hit before the election and we were in BIG trouble if he won and meanwhile all these supposed geniuses couldn't figure out what was right in front of them?
Seems that for a lot of people success if a fluke.
when was the last time a democrat governed well??
clinton?? please, if he was sooo great why did he lose 52 seats in the house, 9 in the senate and 10 governorships??
Just look at detroit, california, nyc in 91, wisc before walker
the list is just endless and half he country votes for these #%&*@
I hope i never understand.
I heard a lot about the poised, well-spoken, likeable candidate back in 2008. I didn't see that candidate, but the media told me all about him. The candidate I saw and who was elected was rather snobby, not all that bright, and spoke robotically.
In 2008, however, there wasn't a real Republican challenger.
Now there is, and the true nature of the Democrat candidate is painfully obvious in comparison.
"Did not Mort support and vote FOR Obama 4 years ago?"
Of Course he did. Mort is a Democrat. He even describes his economic beliefs as Keynesian. But during the 2008 campaign The Transformer was preaching that he was going to "fundamentally transform America". That scared the hell out of me at the time, because it's as good a definition of radicalism that I can think of.
It seems him and his whole administration have wasted these past four years fixing that which was not broke, digging holes where we did not need holes.

During the GOP convention, Mark Halperin of TIME and John Heilemann of New York magazine predicted confidently -- promised would be a better word -- that Clint Eastwood's endorsement speech, which they had just watched, would not reach the public, that Romney's message and the GOP's reframing of his issues and attempts to cast his qualities in perspective would not reach the public without being sliced, diced, jumbled, and spun, so that the message could not get out.
They promised (no doubt peeved at Clint's performance, which Halperin derogated twice within 30 minutes on two different PBS shows) that the Romney message would not get out.
I believed them.
Mort is a liberal. Liberals never ever accept responsibility for their own actions. I do not believe that Mort now sees the light. He knew everything he wrote in this piece back in 2008, and he is hunting for some way to make himself appear respectable.
I agree.
Why don't people figure it out - the rats want the poor to fail - otherwise they'd lose their constituency and their power. Take from the doers and give to the those who don't mind being moochers. (Of course that doesn't include those who are genuinely in need of help from others.)
They're really out of control now with seizing our health care - taxes are one thing but the power of life and death in their hands is cause for all out war.
And then there is the EPA, the NEA, the NLRB, etc. They've gone too far.
Things are a bit different since Facebook faced the taxman...
That is the problem of liberals they ignore the unintended consequences of their actions. They can go to Venezuela and cry me a river.
Mort wasn't fooled
he just hates what he views as Christian Conservative values more than socialism
till it got into his pocketbook and Israel too deep
it ain't complicated
Such a memorable zinger. How many are old enough to remember the launcher of the zinger . . . wait, it's coming back to me. Lloyd Benson? An old fool with a canned zinger, like the grandfather who tells you the same joke every time you visit him. At some point in the debate, Benson blurts out a mention of Jack Kennedy, unconnected to anything else, as in:
"You know, I've heard people say you're a kind of like the young Jack Kennedy . . . " etc., etc. Curiously, the Lamestreamers at the time quoted it immediately as a piece of devastating repartee. With my eyes opened by the Journo-List revelations and related conspiracies to bore us, I'd say it's almost as if the state-run media had been leaked the quote in advance and were waiting to use it in their sneering stories of the debatewhich Quayle clearly won. And Dukakis-Benson took, as I recall, 5 states out of 50.
Mort is Jewish and 80% vote for Democrats, which I;ll NEVER understand!!! A BIG Government almost wiped them out and yet they vote for BIG GOVERNMENT! Go figure.....dumb.
Theyve gone too far.
"They" should not exist in the first place.
It is just more evidence of the "Congress"
shirking their job, by giving power to bureaucratic
agencies without our permission or the Constitution.
Indeed, he did. But it took Mort about one year to realize the mistake he'd made.
By early 2010, he was making the case against Obama.
Mort is an honest liberal...and a businessman...no lib dummy.
I think you might have to go back to Harry Truman -- who had his problems, but did an admirable job on balance (dropping the bomb, ending the war, post-war recovery, Marshall Plan, Truman Doctrine, etc.)
I've contended that the last Democrat nominee for the Presidency who might qualify as both honest and capable is probably Hubert Humphrey (1968).

This, of course, is where Zuckerman tips his hand that he is a big government liberal who believes that government must "pay for" tax cuts because, of course, all money (and presumably property) belongs to government in the first place. Normal humans, on the other hand, view tax cuts simply as less confiscation of their money by government.
This notion that government must "pay for" confiscating less money from citizens is... bizarre. But then, liberal thought processes are bizarre.
Therefore it makes sense to them. I guess.
Yes, he inherited a financial crisis that he had no part in causing....Ummmm, Mort. Wake up. He was a SENATOR. He caused or helped cause it as much as any freaking politician.

Many here (including myself) have posted as to the hows and whys of that from a historical perspective. IMHO however I think their is something bigger going on. Mort as a Jew and an intellectual successful businessman probably has the ear of many in the Jewish community. In a sense I think if they agree with him it gives them some solice or cover to potentially pull the lever for Mitt. Just my 2 cents...
Glad we got through our McCain / Palin phase.
Business geniuses are good at business or technology or something
The same thing with actors -- they may be great actors but they're not political commentators
O had a lot of people fooled with his empty substance, but remember that he was portrayed as black (whereas he is half-white, half Luo Moslem)
I think you're mixing up Zuckerman with Zuckerberg ('berg controls FB which 'man is the owner of the New York Daily News and US News and World Report
From your lips...
You are not Bill Gates. You are not Steve Joy. Go away!!
After crying over not getting their backing of Hillary elected, these past four years were unsuccessful in forcing The Undocumented Coffee Server to conform to her agenda.
They've had their champion installed in the hyjacked GOP, HillaryRomney, intending to support Mr. HillaryRomney Extortion-Care, all along.
Alot of people have totally jumped the shark here, supporting Mr. Massachusetts Hillary.
Yes, he did, along with 69 million others.
Some of them are going to have to change their minds - several millions of them, in fact.
Let's not make it hard.
Truth, loyalty, and honesty backed up by an unfailing command of the facts coupled with the ability to impart them will beat "mastery of lies and deception" any time.
That is why Obama looks like a petulant two-year old when confronted thusly.
He'll never admit it in public, but I'm sure Zuckerman knows damn well that the turd swirling around in his toilet this morning is more presidential than the guy he supported in 2008.
Probably. But it looks like he's preparing to endorse Romny this time around.
There's no such thing as an honest liberal.
He's lying now. He's still a liberal. He's just trying to cover for his stupidity 4 years ago.
Why should I believe anything this media metrosexual says today when he was so wrong last time? Fool the public once......
Now it appears that he may be throwing Obama under the bus and will embrace Romney. This makes him a conservative? This makes him as "honest" as George Washington? This makes him warm and cuddly?
No, he's still a Beltway media opportunist and a conniver, abeit making his move a day late and a dollar short. A lot of these rich guys are beginning to worry big time about their personal fortunes and their business's bottom lines. Founding principles have nothing to do with their Road to Damascus transformations.
Go away, flip-flopper Mort......once a Schmuckerman, always a Schmuckerman.
He's been anti Obama for some time no. Too bad he had stars in his eyes back in 2008.
