Paul Revere's Ride, Reimagined by Sarah Palin
By Tim Murphy Fri Jun. 3, Mother Jones
Here‘s how she described Paul Revere's famous ride:
“…he who warned the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringin' those bells and, um, makin' sure as he's ridin' his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we're gonna be secure and we were gonna be free. And we we're gonna be armed.”

Phi Beta Iota: The ignorance of the public–Democrat, Republican, and Independent, is profound. Most Tea Party members really have no idea that there are two Tea Parties, and the one that has influence is not the one they belong to. Most citizens have no clue that to harvest oil from sands you have to use water from aquifers–water we cannot afford to waste. Needed desperately is public intelligence in the public interest.
Gaddafi's Stolen Billions: Max Keiser Explains ‘Financial Terrorism' RT – 18 hours ago Watch video
Phi Beta Iota: China and Russia both appear to have explained to Goldman Sachs executives that they will be assassinated if they do not make good on their financial rapes against those two countries. Libya appears to have adopted the same response. Tony Blair appears to have been the key political proponent of the financial rape of Libya. Russian Television offers a useful glimpse into the reality behind the “get Guaddafi” invasion now occurring at our expense–an invasion that is illegal by both US Constitutional law and international law. Meanwhile, Wall Street seeks to force a rise is the US debt limit. Assassination of bankers is now on the table.
Employment Picture Even Grimmer Than You Think
— By Kevin Drum
Every month Steve Benen publishes a handy chart showing job gains and losses since January 2008. Looking at the latest dismal numbers for May, he concludes, “Any sane person should look at these numbers and conclude that the economy desperately needs a boost.”
But it's worse than that. As I mentioned yesterday, the U.S. economy needs to add about 150,000 jobs per month just to stay even with population growth. This means that you really need to look at how many jobs we gained above (or below) 150,000, not above or below zero. So here's Steve's chart, modified to show just that. As you can see, the last eight months, when the economy has supposedly been starting to recover, has actually been virtually flat. Relative to population growth, we've been generating no new jobs at all.
So yes: “Any sane person should look at these numbers and conclude that the economy desperately needs a boost.” Even the not especially sane ought to have figured that out by now.

DAY ONE: June 3-4, 2011 — DJERBA, TUNISIA — On Libyan-Tunisian border, it's back to the future with refugees
DAY TWO: June 4-5, 2011 — TRIPOLI, LIBYA. WMR Exclusive. Western Libya portrait is not what is being painted by the Western media
Phi Beta Iota: Details below the line. The public is being lied to by the US Government and its corporate media co-conspirators. The Honorable Cynthia McKinney, daughter of Georgia, is doing what professional intelligence and investigative media should be doing. We need more of this. “The truth at any cost lowers all other costs.”
