Mid-Left Crisis: Comments, the Internet, and China
http://midleftcrisis.blogspot.com/2010/12/comments-internet-and-china.html
It's a complicated case. A lotta ins, a lotta outs. A lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Friday, December 3, 2010. Comments, the Internet, and China. I wanted to find out how old, exactly, that issue was, so I did a little internet searching and found a Newsweek story from 2005 with the headline " China is on the Move. I felt pretty good finding that meta joke within "The Office" and thought I would show off my awesomeness by leaving a comment on the Hulu page for this episode. So rather than leave a...

Mid-Left Crisis: December 2010
http://midleftcrisis.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
It's a complicated case. A lotta ins, a lotta outs. A lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Wednesday, December 8, 2010. Be Careful What You Wish For. I guess I should have been more specific, as it seems that President Obama has made my wish come all-too true. Not only is he fighting for an old Republican tax cut, larded with additional new Republican tax cuts, but he's also employing a Bush-like fear approach to his latest plan: Pass my bill or we'll see a recession! Ignoring the fact, of course, that...

Mid-Left Crisis: Chase Bank - Preying on the Poor
http://midleftcrisis.blogspot.com/2010/11/chase-bank-preying-on-poor.html
It's a complicated case. A lotta ins, a lotta outs. A lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Monday, November 29, 2010. Chase Bank - Preying on the Poor. Today, however, I received a letter from the bank announcing some changes to my "free" checking account. No longer a free account, my new "Total Checking" account now carries a $10 monthly fee. You can avoid this monthly fee if you meet one of the following conditions. 1: $1,500 minimum daily balance. 2 $5,000 average monthly balance. Youre right, they ...

Mid-Left Crisis: Obama's Compromise Victories? Tax Cuts.
http://midleftcrisis.blogspot.com/2010/12/obamas-compromise-victories-tax-cuts.html
It's a complicated case. A lotta ins, a lotta outs. A lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. So you can imagine my disappointment as I looked into the compromise that the President made, and discovered that in order to "temporarily" extend the Bush-Era tax cuts ($380B/year in the deficit) the President has received the following "concessions" from the Republicans. How crafty of President Obama to work another tax cut out of those Republicans.*. And news about the economy. S pos...

Mid-Left Crisis: Cenk Uygur's Plea to President Obama
http://midleftcrisis.blogspot.com/2010/11/cenk-uygurs-plea-to-president-obama.html
It's a complicated case. A lotta ins, a lotta outs. A lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Sunday, November 21, 2010. Cenk Uygur's Plea to President Obama. Sometimes I regret not having cable. While there's a lot of great television available over the internet, Cenk Uygyr's MSNBC Live. November 21, 2010 at 5:17 PM. But, truly, even if they make a good point now and then, cable news is unnecessary. Especially, if you can find your local NPR station. November 21, 2010 at 5:28 PM. Yeah, I agree with you t...

Mid-Left Crisis: Obama's Pay Freeze Helps Keep Frivolous Tax Cuts
http://midleftcrisis.blogspot.com/2010/11/obamas-pay-freeze-helps-keep-frivolous.html
It's a complicated case. A lotta ins, a lotta outs. A lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Obama's Pay Freeze Helps Keep Frivolous Tax Cuts. Yesterday President Obama called for a two year pay freeze. For federal workers, estimated to save the government up to $6 billion a year for the next ten years.* This bit of preemptive capitulation hasn't pleased anyone, angering the President's supporters. While emboldening his detractors. Meanwhile, the President still seems determin...

Mid-Left Crisis: Attempted Domestic Terror Plot Thwarted in Portland
http://midleftcrisis.blogspot.com/2010/11/attempted-domestic-terror-plot-thwarted.html
It's a complicated case. A lotta ins, a lotta outs. A lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Saturday, November 27, 2010. Attempted Domestic Terror Plot Thwarted in Portland. As most of you have probably heard, the tight crowd also brought an attempted domestic terror attack. As a Corvallis man drove a van bomb to the area and attempted to kill some of the festival-goers. Luckily, the FBI had foiled his plan and the bomb he tried to ignite was a dud. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm not ashamed to...

Mid-Left Crisis: Boogeyman China Headlines Delusional Anti-Government Ad
http://midleftcrisis.blogspot.com/2010/11/boogeyman-china-headlines-delusional.html
It's a complicated case. A lotta ins, a lotta outs. A lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Boogeyman China Headlines Delusional Anti-Government Ad. A very disturbing ad is making the conservative rounds, featuring a glimpse into a so-called future where China is inexplicably mocking the United States of 2010. I saw this ad over on The Consumer Trap. Unfortunately, this isn't what the message is in the commercial. As an example of the "turning our back" idea, they list the...
