David Dayen, California’s War on Unions

UPDATE:  Post Wisconsin the union busting effort focuses on California and Prop 32.  David Dayen (@ddayen) from Firedoglake discusses the nationwide movement to divest unions of their political voice, ousting them from the political process.  And in the better half, a fired up “Kathy Janeane Garofalo Harriss” surprises with a call.  Click thru for links and updates.  Use this post as today’s thread.

    David Walliams interviews Russell Brand

    Published 11 July 2012

    Russell Brand doesn’t read the papers, now that he’s in them – but that doesn’t stop him having opinions on everything from the meaning of Britishness to the “spirituality” of socialism. David Walliams tries to keep up.

    Published 11 July 2012

    “Our more primal instincts are catered for by our relentless consumer culture, always stimulating sexuality, tribalism, individualism.”

    “I think we have a cultural obligation to regard the whole as more significant than the individual. The communal is how we build our values.”

    “Socialism is the politicisation of spirituality”

  4. Janeane Garofalo’s Katherine Harris is very funny. It’s kind of a baffling choice of an impression in 2012, but I think it just getting funnier. Romney passing the Voight-Kampff is classic!
