On Tuesday, October 7, a group of CODEPINK pranksters pranced in front of the New York Stock Exchange. One, wearing an oversized papier maché head of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, grabbed at the purses of the “chickens.” “Give me your money; give me your money,” he cried. “You might need a new house, but my buddies and I need new yachts.” Passersby, reading the sign “Henry ‘The Fox’ Paulson’ in the People’s Henhouse,” heartily agreed.
Congress thought otherwise, entrusting Paulson—the former CEO of Goldman Sachs–with $700 billion of the people’s money. On October 3, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, smiling ear to ear, congratulated Congress for passing a bill that gave Secretary Paulson unprecedented control over our nation’s economic future. An hour later, President Bush and Secretary Paulson appeared on the steps of the Treasury Department signing the bill.

It really was a sight to see in both Denver and St. Paul, and the Democrat and Republican Leadership should be ashamed of themselves. We’re talking G8 style Summit security perimeters that spanned a huge swath around the Pepsi and XCel Energy Center.
The hundreds of millions of dollars that were expended on such a useless venture was astounding. That SWAT, National Guard, Private Security, Secret Service, and out of state law enforcement’s sheer overtime and travel bills are staggering to imagine.

During Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech when nominated by John McCain for Vice President, McCain wouldn’t leave Palin alone on stage. Rather than give her the momentary limelight, McCain peered over her shoulder and read her speech alongside her. He was visibly nervous and has remained so ever since. Other than Wednesday at the RNC when Palin finally appeared solo, the image of McCain hovering authoritatively over her is the constant at every appearance. McCain’s public subjugation of Palin, and her public acceptance of it, sets male-female advancement back decades. Were Palin truly a trusted and powerful woman she’d request and be granted autonomy on stage, and reject McCain’s Taliban-like presence. All that’s missing is her burka.

Sunsara Taylor (Revolution Magazine) and The Nation’s Jeremy Scahill outline their positions on the war, the Obama and McCain candidacies, and whether politics-as-usual can really cut it anymore…
