Who Do You Love?
I love Joe Biden for saying this (and putting the ear worm in my head): Pretty awesome. I love France for kicking Sarkozy and his austerity agenda to the curb, and for electing their first Socialist president in almost two decades. Some of the things I love about President-elect Hollande: * Hollande opposes an economic policy based only on austerity and has promised to renegotiate the European fiscal compact to include provisions on jobs and growth; * Although he has pledged to balance public finances by the end of 2017, Hollande has also said he will adapt that target if growth [...]
2011 Year in Review – March Through May and Here’s Where Your Jobs Are Going
This morning on the show, I had an eye-opening conversation with civil rights attorney James Otto about a lawsuit he filed in California against "healthcare company" Molina Healthcare. (Ed note: I put healthcare company in quotes because I believe this company and others do nothing to care for the help of its clients.) I urge you to listen to the interview, as it's pretty in-depth and mind blowing. But basically, Otto is representing a group of former employees who were fired and replaced by non-citizens allowed to work here under H-1B visas, after being forced to train those workers to [...]
Friday, revisited
I don't usually do a show on Fridays. I was planning to spend Friday doing what I did for the rest of the weekend -- packing everything that was left in my soon-to-be former house. But I awoke to an email asking if I could start my week-long fill-in stint for Randi Rhodes as day earlier, as her dog Simon had taken a turn for the worse. So, fill-in I did, gladly. It turned out to be a pretty great show. And I was happy to be working doing something I love rather than working packing and moving, if you [...]
Some Days Are Better Than Others
And on some days, the less said, the better. That said... today on the show, I reached out to listener Jeremy Boulat. He's an American living in Japan. He emailed me last month, after I asked who was out there listening. Then, the earthquake hit, followed by the tsunami, followed by radiation fears from the crippled plants of mass destruction at Fukushima. Jeremy sent this email out to some of his friends last week: Dear friends... This is Jeremy. As you know, I live in Japan. And recently, Japan we've been hit with a very huge, 9.0 magnitude earthquake. The [...]
