1/ An interesting column from Paul Krugman, one where he let's us know why as well as what - the issue de jour is China, and much as we'd like some revenge for their having crippled the American middle class this world is now irrevocably tied together, and according to Krugman China is in deep economic trouble......
China's economy imploding will be like a hurricane hitting Florida.....you don't know when it's coming, but it's going to happen eventually......
All economic data are best viewed as a peculiarly boring genre of science fiction, but Chinese data are even more fictional than most. Add a secretive government, a controlled press, and the sheer size of the country, and it’s harder to figure out what’s really happening in China than it is in any other major economy.
Yet the signs are now unmistakable: China is in big trouble. We’re not talking about some minor setback along the way, but something more fundamental. The country’s whole way of doing business, the economic system that has driven three decades of incredible growth, has reached its limits. You could say that the Chinese model is about to hit its Great Wall, and the only question now is just how bad the crash will be.
Start with the data, unreliable as they may be. What immediately jumps out at you when you compare China with almost any other economy, aside from its rapid growth, is the lopsided balance between consumption and investment. All successful economies devote part of their current income to investment rather than consumption, so as to expand their future ability to consume. China, however, seems to invest only to expand its future ability to invest even more. America, admittedly on the high side, devotes 70 percent of its gross domestic product to consumption; for China, the number is only half that high, while almost half of G.D.P. is invested.
How is that even possible? What keeps consumption so low, and how have the Chinese been able to invest so much without (until now) running into sharply diminishing returns? The answers are the subject of intense controversy. The story that makes the most sense to me, however, rests on an old insight by the economist W. Arthur Lewis, who argued that countries in the early stages of economic development typically have a small modern sector alongside a large traditional sector containing huge amounts of “surplus labor” — underemployed peasants making at best a marginal contribution to overall economic output.
2/ A nice story from CNS News - "Harmonica Man"....three minutes of a genuinely wonderful old man giving back to the community......I like his comment on Bill Gates......three minutes.......
3/ Bill Maher with a 3 1/2 star "New Rules", where he asks why are there so many OBGYN's in Congress? Six minutes of world class sarcastic humour.....

Frank Rich on the National Circus: National Conversations Can’t Fix What Killed Trayvon
- By Frank Rich
Every week, New York Magazine writer-at-large Frank Rich talks with contributor Eric Benson about the biggest stories in politics and culture. This week: George Zimmerman goes free, Rolling Stone's cover gets condemned, and the Senate cheers its bipartisanship.
George Zimmerman’s acquittal in the killing of Trayvon Martin enraged more than it surprised, prompting a lot of commentary on racial profiling and the elusiveness of equality in America. You tackled these issues last year in an essay on the Tony-winning play Clybourne Park, concluding that, even with major legislative victories for civil rights and a black president in the White House, there was "no solution in sight." How has the Martin verdict affected your thinking on race relations, and how we can improve?
This entire story is both a tragedy and a travesty. Coming in the immediate aftermath of the Supreme Court’s maiming of the Voting Rights Act, it is another indicator that something is rotten at the heart of American justice.

5/ The highlight of our trip to France was seeing Neil Young and Crazy Horse's kickoff concert of their European tour......a beautiful night in Bairritz, France in a smallish venue with about 7000 people. The sound was amazing, Neil Young was in a great mood and gave a 2 1/2 hour concert of the finest rock and roll I have ever heard, including this song "Powderfinger".
This is a clip from him in Sydney in March this year - note, he was better dressed for our concert!
If you ever get the chance to see him live get tickets. For the European tour he also had a great supporting act - Gary Clark Jr....next DDD
6/ Some bad news last week - Brian Schweitzer the popular Governor of Montana has decided not to run for the vacant Senate seat....Timothy Egan explains why this is important, and why he made his decision.......
Most interesting column.......continues the theme of we are getting the politicians we deserve, not good guys like Schweitzer......
Just now, the sweet Lambert cherries of the Flathead Valley in Montana are ripe with a midsummer blush, and trout rise to snap fresh-hatched bugs from the surface of the Blackfoot River. At night, a mountain breeze, the natural air-conditioning of the West, cools things down just enough to make for a deep sleep. There are pockets of snow, still, in the high, north-facing draws of the Rockies.
Why anyone in his right mind would leave the Big Sky of Montana for the festering swamp of Washington, D.C., is a question Brian Schweitzer thought about as the nation’s political class turned to him to prevent the United States Senate from falling under Republican control. A popular two-term governor known for his bolo ties and ever-present Border collie, a politician whose folksiness could be as annoying as it was charming, Schweitzer was the great Democratic hope to replace outgoing Senator Max Baucus.
The balance of power in the Senate — the chance that all those key committees would fall into the hands of extremists, or that any Supreme Court nominee with a sense of fairness would be destroyed — was at stake.
At age 57, Schweitzer considered how many good years he had left, and where he wanted to spend them. It was no contest. Even his dog, Jag, rolled his eyes, said the ex-governor. “I don’t like the kind of clothes they have to wear and I don’t like the weather,” he said of the capital, in an interview with Montana Public Radio. Besides, “that sinkhole,” he said, is “dysfunctional.” And earlier, when Roll Call asked him about becoming part of the nation’s most elite political club, Schweitzer mentioned the awful weather, and was typically blunt about suits with power.

“Most of the people you talk to,” he said, “are frauds.”
7/ The wonderful Senator Elizabeth Warren on CNBC Business, wiping the floor with the hosts as they shill for the big banks......and she does it politely, with conviction, passion and just plain old logic.
Note - this may be a small screen five minute clip - NBC has removed this from most sites.....so you know you are watching something or someone the oligarchs didn't want you to see......
The Internet has been afire in the past few days with accounts of how Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren made fools of her inquisitors on CNBC in a discussion of the Glass-Steagall Act, a measure regulating banks.
8/ Yet another corporate friendly 5-4 decision from our corrupt Supreme Court, essentially exempting drug companies from lawsuits.......
These bastards are bought and sold by the right wing oligarchy and the Koch Brothers......
In a 5 to 4 vote, the US Supreme Court has absolved pharmaceutical companies, and over 80 percent of all drugs prescribed in the US, of legal liability for a long list of ill deeds including fraud, mislabeling, side effects and accidental death.
This decision happened as a response to a lower court’s ruling concerning a victim who took a pharmaceutical drug and had a severely adverse reaction that caused the patient to be completely disfigured when the drug caused a flesh-eating side effect. The side effect was known by the drug maker and yet, was not labeled. The lower court ruled that the drug maker would have to label all future drugs with this side effect but the Supreme Court left the corporations who make these drugs completely exempt from future lawsuits, and said the victim ‘had no legal grounds to sue.’
How is it that pharmaceutical companies can continue to put people’s health in jeopardy in such atrocious ways without being culpable?
When Bartlett sued in a New Hampshire state court, including the fact that there was no warning about the possible flesh-eating side effect, she won the case and was awarded $21 million in damages. The FDA then went on to force both Mutual Pharma and Merck & Co. to include warnings on drug labels going forward, but nine years later, the Supreme Court has overturned that ruling. The higher court stated as reason for their verdict, ‘all generic drugs and their manufacturers [over 80% of all drugs prescribed in the US] are exempt from liability for side effects.’ The court has essentially given the FDA ultimate authority over pharmaceutical use in the US.
9/ Interesting three minute clip titled "I am not Trayvon Martin", made by a young lady calling out white liberals......
Great perspective, and we haven't heard this way of looking at this tragedy before.......
10/ Excellent Gail Collins column about Liz Cheney announcing her bid for the Senate seat in Wyoming.......I love her style of writing, and she is on form with this one.....
Dick Cheney’s daughter wants to be a senator! To give Wyoming a conservative voice! Well, it’s about time somebody thought of that.
But a couple of problems with that statement. One is that Cheney only moved to Wyoming last fall, so people were apparently begging her to represent them while she was there on vacation.
Lately, we’ve had a lot of politicians explain that they’re running for office because folks kept coming up and begging them to go for it. Generally, these are people whose plans are deeply unwelcome by the other members of their party. But nobody ever says, “I have decided to heed the clarion call of my insatiable need for attention.” Instead, they blame it on random pedestrians.
Everybody knows that no sane politician will actually decide to embark on a major campaign because the man on the street decreed it must be so. Particularly if you are in a place like Wyoming where there actually aren’t all that many streets and the people you are running into are attending your fund-raisers.
“I thought we were friends,” the blindsided incumbent, Mike Enzi, said of his new opponent. If he wins, he should definitely send her that statement embroidered on a pillow.
The Senate races aren’t till 2014, but things are already heating up. True, they’re a little warmer in some places than others. For instance, if you’re a Democrat who thinks it would be fun to run for office, there’s still that opening in West Virginia. Really. Just move there and post an announcement on YouTube.
We’ll get a preview this October when New Jersey voters elect a successor to the late Senator Frank Lautenberg. Right now, the money is on Mayor Cory Booker of Newark. If you do not know who Cory Booker is, send him a note and he will come to your house and introduce himself. Or find your lost car keys. Or clean your furnace. Really, just give him a list.
11/ Don't often have videos specifically for married men, but this one is for you, for putting up with you-know-who's mood swings.........
A wryly amusing 2 minutes.........
12/ One of the few good environmental things the Obama administrations has done is to raise the fuel efficiency stardards high enough that the car companies have the stones to defy the oil companies and import the superefficient diesel engines from Europe. Last year in France we rented a small Mercedes diesel that got the equivalent of 55 mpg, and this year we have a Chevrolet Cruze with a diesel that gets about 49 mpg, the same engine mentioned in the story. The car itself is quite boring, but the engine has great acceleration and loafs along doing 80mph at 2200 rpm.....
Anyway there will be more choice of small efficient diesels this coming season.......
Efficiency, Imported From Europe

TRANSATLANTIC Europe’s lead in the diesel sales boom is built on fuel-sipping models, including the 2014 Audi A6 TDI.

The makers of plug-in hybrids and E.V.’s have reaped billions of dollars in federal loans and energy grants. Buyers of the electrically enabled vehicles have also been given bountiful perks, from tax credits and the privilege of high-occupancy vehicle lanes to home charging units underwritten by taxpayers.

Yet vehicles that were once the antithesis of eco-friendly are making far deeper inroads with mainstream consumers: fuel-sipping, ultralong-range diesel cars.
Attracted by newly quiet and clean-running engines that deliver some 15 to 30 percent better mileage than their gasoline counterparts, Americans flocked to diesels in 2012. Sales of diesel passenger cars and S.U.V.’s jumped by nearly 26 percent from 2011. That’s despite the stubbornly high price of diesel fuel that, at $3.87 a gallon on average, is 23 cents more than regular gas (but a penny less than premium grade).
Given that reality, some automakers are wondering out loud why new-school diesel cars — which in some cases burn even less fuel and produce lower levels of global-warming gases than hybrids — are getting no love or largess from Washington.
“This planet will not be rescued by superexpensive technology for the few, but when the majority of mobility is clean,” said Rainer Michel, vice president for product planning at Volkswagen of America. “Diesel is far less expensive than plug-ins and E.V.’s, with better range and performance. This technology is available today.”
That assessment might be expected from VW or another automaker based in Europe, where roughly half of all new cars are frugal diesels. One in five new VWs sold in the United States today is diesel-powered, making the company by far the nation’s leader.
But with automakers on a steep climb to the federal fuel economy target of 54.5 m.p.g. for 2025, even domestic automakers can no longer afford to ignore a technology with so much potential.
For instance, the new Chevrolet Cruze Diesel, carrying a 46-m.p.g. federal highway rating, is officially the highest-mileage nonhybrid sold in America. The Mazda 6 Skyactiv-D sedan goes on sale this year. A Cadillac ATS diesel is in the works.
13/ I suppose this should be in the jokes section, but what the hell.......
Letter To Texas From The Remaining 49 States
WE THE CITIZENS of The Remaining 49 United States of America hereby ask Texas its wish to withdraw from our country, that it may create its own sovereign nation. A nation completely free of the burden of tolerance regarding any ideas, customs, laws, taxes, women’s rights or ethnicity that it does not “cotton to”.
We congratulate our new neighbors to the South on the imminent creation of its perfect Utopia, in which the burden of women’s reproductive healthcare services need not exist, cumbersome gun laws need not exist, the mentally handicapped can be executed with reckless abandon, and school curriculums can be properly adjusted to instruct children that the Earth is a mere 3000 years old.
We will, of course, miss the economic benefits and quality barbecue that you have nobly provided over these past 200-plus years. But though we won’t argue that Texas has been at the forefront of the nation in production of oil, beef, cotton, and other valuable commodities, those benefits have always been tragically counterbalanced by your state’s equally impressive production of prideful ignorance and unrepentant assholes.
Two last requests: as an act of goodwill between nations, before you erect your long-awaited immigrant-proof wall can you do us a solid and give Senator Wendy Davis and her associates along with the Austin hipster-transplants a couple of weeks to pack up their instruments to get their vans out here? Thanks.
So I guess this is it Texas. I suspect we won’t hear from you again until you remember that human beings need water to live. But we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Thanks for the memories and for Stevie Ray Vaughan. Our country just got a little bit smaller but a great deal more respectable. And for that we thank you.

14/ Lewis Black on the Daily Show, giving Texas Governor Rick Perry a piece of his mind......six pretty good minutes.......
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has embarked on a nationwide tour to lure businesses from the likes of Illinois and California to his state. But when the Republican turned his focus on New York, that proved too much for comedian Lewis Black.
Appearing on Wednesday's edition of "The Daily Show," Black unveiled his response to Perry's effort, which has included ads built on the premise that Texas makes for a more business-friendly enviornment than other states. The intense comedian fired back with an ad of his own on behalf of the Big Apple.
"People come here from all over the world. For the freedom to live as they choose, for the variety of cultures, but most of all: for the fact that it's not Texas," Black said in the parody ad before rattling off New York's superiority over the Lone Star State.
15/ Movie Review
"The Conjuring" is a new haunted house horror movie out this week.....no gore, no zombies [damn], just scary spirits and unexplained screeching in the night....
Great review from the Times critic.......
The dread gathers and surges while the blood scarcely trickles in “The Conjuring,” a fantastically effective haunted-house movie. Set largely in 1971, it purports to tell a story based on “true case files” about a family of seven whose pastoral dream became a nightmare soon after they moved into a Rhode Island farmhouse. One day, Mom, Dad and the girls are settling into their conveniently sprawling, creaking, squeaking two-story house — the rooms quickly become a disorienting maze — and the next, they’re playing hide and creep with a mysterious, increasingly malevolent force.
The director James Wan plays much the same game with you. Written by the brothers Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes, the movie opens with a jittery, funny prologue involving a couple of pretty nurses right out of a Roger Corman quickie, a devil doll named Annabelle (shades of Rod Serling and Chucky) and a pair of married paranormal experts, Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga). The Warrens quickly take care of business, and Mr. Wan does the same. With shock cuts, gliding camera movements, muted colors that evoke David Fincher’s “Zodiac” and tricks learned from “The Twilight Zone,” Mr. Wan — whose first sly shot is of a cracked, smiling face — sets a relentlessly uneasy tone that imperceptively shifts between intense seriousness and lightly mocking.

Todays preacher joke
An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was
getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.
Like many young Men his age, the boy didn't really know what he wanted
to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He
went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects..
1. A Bible.....
2. A silver dollar.....
3. A bottle of whisky.....
4. And a Playboy magazine.....
'I'll just hide behind the door,' the old preacher said to
himself. 'When he comes home from school today, I'll see which object
he picks up.
If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and
what a blessing that would be!
If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a business man, and
that would be okay, too.
But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good
drunken bum, and Lord, what a shame that would be.
And worst of all if he picks up that magazine he's going to be
a skirt-chasing womanizer.'
The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's
foot-steps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room.
The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave
the room he spotted the objects on the table..
With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.

Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked
up the silver dollar and dropped into his pocket. He uncorked the
bottle and took a big drink, while he admired this month's centerfold.
'Lord have mercy,' the old preacher disgustedly whispered.
'He's gonna run for Congress.'

Todays senior golfer joke
Arthur is 90 years old.
He's played golf every day since his retirement 25 years ago. One

He's played golf every day since his retirement 25 years ago. One
day he arrives home looking downcast.
"That's it," he tells his wife. "I'm giving up golf. My eyesight
has got so bad. Once I've hit the ball, I can't see where it went."
His wife sympathizes. As they sit down, she has a suggestion: "Why
don't you take my brother with you, and give it one more try."
"That's no good," sighs Arthur. "Your brother is a hundred and
three. He can't help."
"He may be a hundred and three," says the wife, "but his eyesight
is perfect."
So the next day, Arthur heads off to the golf course with his
brother-in-law. He tees up, takes an almighty swing, and squints down the
fairway.
He turns to the brother-in-law. "Did you see the ball?"
