January 25 2011 Travus T. Hipp Morning News & Commentary: State Of Our Union - If We Could Stop Making Huge Social Events From Our Government's Banality We Might Get Something Done
In The News: Thanks this morning to ChrisM, my MP3Angel, for supplying the news and commentary audio files.
President Obama will deliver the State Of The Union address this evening with the focus on economics and government waste. But all in all the social scene will most likely be the biggest show, and there COULD be some interesting sideshows as the Tea Party people will pout in a corner and NOT go with the request that they 'mix it up' with the other party politician. THAT'S an interest group who belive in majority rule and cooperation to make government work... NOT! (Pssst... they're proto-Fascists... pass it on.)
Lebanon's political 'culture' is gone after Hizbollah and some allies walk out of parliament yet the remainder of the government, now of mostly Christian membership, goes on as if they AREN'T a parliamentary government that needs to be dissolved. Expect turmoil if the Muslims who have just been effectively disenfranchise from the government, follow the path currently circumscribed by events in Tunisia and Algeria, where there are active rebellions against their corrupt governments.
In Haiti the Cholera epidemic has killed 4000 people so far with many more sick and the epidemic running rampant through the refugee camps created in the wake of last year's earthquake. Many NGOs are taking money for aid and necessities to pay their executives and staff quite handsomely. Last year, figures published showed that for every dollar contributed to Haitian aid in the U.S. thirty cents went to the Pentagon, and ONE PENNY made it to the Haitian 'government'... The amount actually trickling down to the people in need is indeed negligible.
Carol Browner, America's "Climate Change Czar", is leaving the Obama administration. Her tasks included oversight of the development of US Carbon "Cap and Trade" policy. Cap and Trade has stalled, a tow truck is needed, and the Obama administration "hasn’t decided whether Browner will be replaced or her job eliminated,".
In Tucson, the prosecutors of Jared Loughner want the case moved back to Tucson from Phoenix. Loughner has tuned down a jury trial and has requested a trial by judge.
Does anyone remember when Ralston Purina, the "Dog Chow" people owned Jack In The Box? A public interest law group is suing Taco Bell. Lab analysis has shown one of their tacos is only 35% beef. The company describes the umn... "Filling" as "ground beef" but IT DOES NOT meet the USDA's definition.
