This is the first time Obama’s inner circle has been tied to the restructuring and its illegal subordination of those taxpayer loans. If Daley was briefed on the details of that restructuring before it got put in place and it still went forward, one can infer that Daley didn’t raise any objections to it. It’s hard to imagine that Daley would have gone out on that limb without getting approval from the man to whom he directly reported — Barack Obama.

the Birth Death adjustment, which adds to the NSA Print to get to the final number, was +52k. How does this compare to July 2011? It is about 1000% higher: the last B/D adjustment was a tiny +5K! In other words, of the 163,000 jobs “added”, 429,000 was based on purely statistical fudging.

| “…you wouldn’t know anything about the national phenomenon by reading the front pages of most of the country’s leading newspapers. There’s no mention of Chick-fil-A on the front pages of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and the Boston Globe.” |  |
More – “… the Washington Post has received a $500,000 grant from the Ford Foundation to shore up its shrinking newsroom. The Los Angeles Times already got a $1 million grant from Ford for the same purpose.”

What’s The Opposite Of Diversity?
If you think this critique of [Ontario Institute for Studies in Education] as racist is rhetorical hyperbole, then consider for a moment what the reaction would be if Ms Thielen-Wilson had substituted another skin color for ‘white’ in her statements. If she had written that Indo-Canadians or Native Canadians were part of a brown or red collective body that engages in practices, often violent, always vile, she would likely be charged with a Hate Crime.

You Are Asked, And Then You Weren’t
The twitter feed gone horribly wrong goes mainstream;
In a statement, Cory Oxelgren, president of the NDP, said the party launched a website Tuesday on which it invited comments directed to Wall about the government’s proposed labour law changes. The timing corresponded with the launch of the NDP caucus’s “consultation tour” on the same issue, but was a separate effort.
Dozens of comments were received on the wereyouasked.ca website, which was set up to post remarks directly to a Twitter feed under a “Saskatchewan NDP” banner and with a popular #skpoli hashtag used for sorting tweets of provincial political interest.
Many of the comments indicated support for Wall and the Sask. Party, which appeared ironic on Twitter under the NDP heading, which was later changed to “SKLabour Review.” Some were negative regarding the NDP and organized labour in general.
Several were harsh in tone — including one that read, “Tommy Douglas, not dead enough.” Another said, “Time to kill #uniongreed once and for all.”
“We expected and welcomed a diverse range of views on the government’s proposed labour law changes,” Oxelgren’s statement said. “Party staff felt that comments on the website should not be censored . . . unfortunately, anonymous contributors posted extremely hateful — in some cases very personal — attacks.”
Emphasis of bald-faced lie, mine.
I’ve emailed Star Phoenix writer Joe Couture to correct the NDP accusation of SaskParty involvement. Let’s see if he updates the report.
