{{{{Mr. Maliki refused. He assured his Iranian hosts that Iraq would not be a launching pad for an American attack on Iran. But he pointedly told a press briefing that negotiations on the strategic partnership would continue. He repeated that commitment on Friday, even after warning that the talks had “reached a dead end.” In effect, the Iraqi prime minister was saying that his country does not want to become an Iranian satellite but an independent Arab state that would look to the United States to ensure its security.}}}}
{{{{In fact, much of the controversy over the negotiations is based on misinformation, some of it spread by Iran’s proxies in Iraq.}}}}

Who’s to blame for the biggest financial catastrophe of our time? There are plenty of culprits, but one candidate for lead perp is former Sen. Phil Gramm. Eight years ago, as part of a decades-long anti-regulatory crusade, Gramm pulled a sly legislative maneuver that greased the way to the multibillion-dollar subprime meltdown. Yet has Gramm been banished from the corridors of power? Reviled as the villain who bankrupted Middle America? Hardly. Now a well-paid executive at a Swiss bank, Gramm cochairs Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign and advises the Republican candidate on economic matters. He’s been mentioned as a possible Treasury secretary should McCain win. That’s right: A guy who helped screw up the global financial system could end up in charge of US economic policy. Talk about a market failure……… as chairman of the Senate banking committee, he routinely turned down Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Arthur Levitt’s requests for more money to police Wall Street; during this period, the sec’s workload shot up 80 percent, but its staff grew only 20 percent. Gramm also opposed an sec rule that would have prohibited accounting firms from getting too close to the companies they audited—at one point, according to Levitt’s memoir, he warned the sec chairman that if the commission adopted the rule, its funding would be cut. And in 1999, Gramm pushed through a historic banking deregulation bill that decimated Depression-era firewalls between commercial banks, investment banks, insurance companies, and securities firms—setting off a wave of merger mania. Gramm slipped in a 262-page measure called the Commodity Futures Modernization Act. Written with the help of financial industry lobbyists and cosponsored by Senator Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), the chairman of the agriculture committee, the measure had been considered dead—even by Gramm. Few lawmakers had either the opportunity or inclination to read the version of the bill Gramm inserted…………the legislation contained a provision—lobbied for by Enron, a generous contributor to Gramm—that exempted energy trading from regulatory oversight, allowing Enron to run rampant, wreck the California electricity market, and cost consumers billions before it collapsed. (For Gramm, Enron was a family affair. Eight years earlier, his wife, Wendy Gram

Something else to remember about Phil Gramm: The Enron Loophole…….Sen. John McCain says he opposes the $307 billion farm bill because it would dole out wasteful subsidies, but his chief economic adviser Phil Gramm also wants to stop its proposed regulation of energy futures trading, a market that was famously abused when Enron Corp. manipulated California’s electricity prices in 2001……Clearing the way for that California price gouging, Gramm, as a powerful Texas senator in 2000, slipped an Enron-backed provision into the Commodities Futures Modernization Act that exempted from regulation energy trading on electronic platforms. Then, over the next year, Enron – with Gramm’s wife Wendy serving on its board of directors – worked to create false electricity shortages in California, bilking consumers out of an estimated $40 billion…..In 2000, with the Republicans in charge of Congress and Gramm chairing the Senate Banking Committee, the exemption on electronic trading was approved without a Senate hearing……. Internal Enron documents, which were released in 2002, revealed that the Houston-based company helped write the legislation, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in December 2000…..Yet Gramm’s influence over McCain’s economic agenda – and the checkered political-business history of Gramm and his wife Wendy – have largely escaped media scrutiny.

Re: Gramm - watch who the candidates pick as advisors. This pick shouldn’t give anyone a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Re oil: This should be a fine example of a source you despise but a point you love. See what happens when you consider the message, not the messenger?
Fox News Sunday - Chris Wallace - interviewing Sens Hutchison (R-Tex) and Dorgan (D-ND). They were fingerpointing over energy legislation. Wallace proposed separating legislating limiting oil speculation and getting an agreement on just that issue. Dorgan said yes. Hutchison ducked the question. Wallace asked it again (I believe some other websites call this “badgering the guests”) and she took the “free market mantra” approach with this response:
“WALLACE: Senator Hutchison, how big a problem is oil speculation? And maybe we can work out a deal right here in this studio. Are Republicans willing to agree with Democrats, separate out and go after the oil speculators?
HUTCHISON: Well, let me say that I think all of us would agree that we need transparency. We need to understand this.
But the way that we can stop the speculation is to show that we are going to do what we can, using our own natural resources and our own creativity, to increase the supply of oil and gas and renewables in our country.
And all of the Democratic proposals don’t produce one ounce of a barrel of oil.
WALLACE: But to answer my direct question, would you agree to — legislation on oil speculation, separating it out.
HUTCHISON: Well, I think if you are talking about a cartel that speculates and fixes the prices, that is absolutely something that Republicans and Democrats would agree on.”
But if you’re talking about people going into the market of their own free will, not controlling anything, then it is a market issue. And I think transparency would be a good add, and I would work with Senator Dorgan on that.
I think we need to look at the whole issue and understand it. But if we bring up supply, we will bring down the price.”
So if you don’t have hedge funds, institutional investors and other megarich players as a cartel, but each pumping in billions of their own money to speculate, it’s okay.
Sen Hutchison just lost her chance as McCain’s VP choice.
Thank heavens.

Re: Cindy McCain: I’m with you - I’m happy that a kid can benefit from the hard work of their parent.
The other “charges” - so Sen McCain doesn’t buckle under to a bunch of lobbyists, even comprised of people he knew, so we could move on with our relations with VietNam and not keep it stuck, and have a vocal group control an aspect of our foreign policy, like the Cuban community in Miami, and it’s a bad thing. Of course it is - he’s a Republican.
The rest - looks like the Left has officially taken the Conspiracy Theory title from the Right. When facts aren’t available, innuendo and “uh, connect the dots” is okay.
“Although Cindy isn’t a direct beneficiary of the deal, you have to wonder how much influence she and her company had”
“The coincidences are just too much to ignore.”
But as far as how much class these sites have (does one really need to wonder?), well, they’re the ones who labeled themself!
“Obama has too much class to bring this up. Fortunately, we don’t.”
Obama: new way. Some Supporters: old way. How do you mix oil and water? One keeps the engine going. The other destroys it.

The sheer idiocy of not drilling for our own oil:
{{{{Corn prices would inevitably spike amid this supply shock (flooding in Iowa,) but that spike is far higher this time because prices are already higher than they should be due to ethanol subsidies and especially the Federal Reserve’s inflationary monetary policy. Corn was only $4 a bushel as recently as last August, but by April had hit $6. You can’t blame that on the weather.}}}}

[WASHINGTON - Opening an Alaska wildlife refuge to oil development would only slightly reduce America’s dependence on imports and would lower oil prices by less than 50 cents a barrel, according to an analysis released Tuesday by the Energy Department.
The report, issued by the Energy Information Administration, or EIA, said that if Congress gave the go-ahead to pump oil from Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the crude could begin flowing by 2013 and reach a peak of 876,000 barrels a day by 2025.
But even at peak production, the EIA analysis said, the United States would still have to import two-thirds of its oil, as opposed to an expected 70 percent if the refuge’s oil remained off the market.](http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4542853/)

So what is he afraid of, debating an “old” man?:
{{{{Plus, Obama’s campaign made sure to counter McCain’s challenge with a watered-down offer of their own (basically, one town meeting – on July 4! – one summer debate on foreign policy, and three debates in the fall). It’s not much, and McCain promptly rejected it. But it allows Obama to claim that he made an offer of his own, no matter how much of a non-starter it was.}}}}

From tonight’s Tony monologue, introducing Laurence Fishburne in “Thurgood,” a timely reminder per yesterday’s AP story about black conservatives that ideology, not race, remains the sine qua non of authentic blackness.

Buried beneath the ground, in Colorado and Utah, are a trillion tons of oil shale. Throughout the 20th century, men have tried and tried again to unlock the energy contained in these rocks. To date, all efforts have failed. But every twenty or thirty years, when energy prices spike, a new attempt is mounted. The persistence is understandable: whoever unlocks this resource would capture a trillion dollar prize. But oil shale’s track record is not encouraging. The rocks are stubborn, an illusive bonanza, promising much, delivering little. Despite a century of trying and $10 billion in investment, oil shale currently provides an infinitesimal 0.0001 (or one ten-thousandth) of world energy. This paper explains why oil shale is so difficult to unlock, and why the “rock that burns” may never provide more than one percent of U.S. energy.

This may not be the proper form for a vent like this, but everyone else here throws waste on the wall to see if it sticks. Why should I be any different?
My tummy still aches from laughter after reading the guest op-ed from one Katerine Lewis (last Friday, 6/13) about her experience on ONE ride on ONE MARTA line to Midtown or Buckhead.
MARTA believer? No way
Maybe MARTA was having a bad day. We all have days. And Little Ms. Lewis and her experiences, (where nobody got hurt) would be downright funny. If she had a sense of humor.
First she says the train she got on (marked “Airport”) finally started moving. In the wrong direction. Mind you, Doraville is the end of the line. The only thing that awaits you outbound is rail yards, which I presume was not the destination of our particular Ms. Lewis.
After another wait, Ms. Lewis actually saw several rodents. Then she saw some self-absorbed motormen and conductors (Question: “Where are we going?” Answer: Grunts, sometimes accommodated by a grimace.
Then a derelict used her car as a urinal. Again (she says) this tiny breach of etiquette was nauseating. But hey, if you’re in a stuck train, and you gotta go, you GO! Another trip back to Doraville, where a train was reloaded and on it’s way downtown.
Okay, ROFL time. You want clean, reliable trains, go to DC. Want not so clean but reliable trains, go to NYC or Chicago. You want fairly clean trains that more or less keep to a schedule, pick Atlanta. But don’t get hyperactive and oversensitive. It’s contageous!
It amazes me that after one (ONE) MARTA trip, Miss Petticoat is ready to go back to her SUV and spend up to $20 bucks a day or more on gas and parking for her one vehicle/one person fix.
Man, if she’s an example of the 21st Century mind fix in this city, she is a total wimp, With a small w. And we.are.doomed Wonder how many others like her live the Atlanta area?

This is one of those rare Supreme Court decisions, maybe a few dozen at most in the history of the republic that goes straight to the question of just what sort of country we are.
The decision written by Justice Anthony Kennedy —- representing a 5-4 majority ruled that foreign detainees, held without charges, can appeal to a civilian court.
But for all its investigation into the history of habeas corpus and questions about the operation of the so-called Suspension Clause, the basic ideas behind the ruling —- and the rights it upheld —- are simple:
What are the rights of persons accused by the government? Who gets to decide those rights? Who says what the law is?
It means that the government cannot deliberately put people beyond the reach of the Constitution and the laws of the US.
The executive branch cannot be prosecution, judge and jury and then take away the powers of the judicial branch.
Kennedy invoked one of the most famous constitutional law cases ever decided —- Marbury vs. Madison, in which the new court of a new nation decided in 1803 it had the power to review the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. It was, in effect, the beginning of constitutional law in this country.
Congress, at the urging of the Bush administration, tried to strip the federal courts of their jurisdiction to hear habeas corpus petitions brought by so-called “enemy combatants” held at Guantanamo. Habeas corpus is the right of an imprisoned person to have a judge hear evidence —- it’s a right that predates this nation and goes back to old English law.
Habeas corpus does not guarantee anyone’s release, but it requires the government to show why it is holding a person. It guarantees access to independent courts —- independent in the sense that, as Justice Kennedy noted, they were separate from the “political branches” of government.
What the government and Congress had created was a black hole into which both the detained and their rights had disappeared. This will bring order to a situation in which the wrong people were detained and the bad guys were released.
Politics, of course, could not help but play a role in a case so closely related to the horrors of Sept. 11 and the fears of terrorism —- but that is precisely why an independent judiciary that ultimately decides what the law is has been so important.

The administration and Congress “defied” earlier decisions involving Guantanamo inmates and could, conceivably, defy this one.
He said he was especially concerned about what he believed was the infusion of politics into the dissent written by Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia warned the majority decision could lead to more American deaths.
“Those words,” says Gibbons, “will go down in history as one of the most outrageous examples of partisan politics in the history of the Supreme Court.”

((The Iranian government plans to ask parliament for $7 billion to pay for fuel imports, Fars News Agency reported June 16. Hojjatollah Ghanimifard, a senior official with Iran’s Oil Ministry, said the amount needed during the Iranian year that ends in March 2009 could be even greater if international prices for gasoline and other fuels continue rising.))
((In February, Iran’s parliament authorized the Oil Ministry to import gasoline and gas oil for the equivalent of $3.2 billion in the fiscal year that began March 21, but that amount is proving insufficient.))

Blowhard,
I didn’t think you could regress much further, but you’ve reached a pre-K level of argument. Congratulations! You’re only a few comments short of being back in diapers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instead of following the obvious success of these specific cuts by reducing the corporate tax rates, the highest in the Western world, Obama wants to reverse the very cuts that resulted in the wealth redistribution he seeks. He wants to return the capital-gains tax rates to their pre-Bush levels, which will have two effects. First, venture capitalists will sell off their investments ahead of the rate change to avoid the new rate, and they will find safer investments in the future rather than pay the same level of tax on riskier investments. Both effects will cost jobs in a market that can hardly afford to shed more of them, and in the end it will reduce rather than increase the revenue stream to the federal government.
