U.S. job seekers exceed openings by record ratio

Job seekers now outnumber openings six to one, the worst ratio since the government began tracking open positions in 2000. According to the Labor Department's latest numbers, from July, only 2.4 million full-time permanent jobs were open, with 14.5 million people officially unemployed.

Jason Leopold, Truthout: "In recent days, The Washington Post, The New York Times and other major news outlets have recounted the 'troubled' history of the poor people's advocacy group ACORN, but left out the five-year anti-ACORN campaign led by White House adviser Karl Rove and other Republican operatives. Dropped down the memory hole is the fact that ACORN was at the center of the so-called 'prosecutor-gate' scandal, when the Bush administration pressured US attorneys to bring indictments over the grassroots group's voter-registration drives, then fired some prosecutors who resisted what they viewed as a partisan strategy not supported by solid evidence."

Harte Wochen für den Hoffnungsträger. Der Mann, der so schöne Reden halten kann, muss jetzt auch handeln und kämpfen. Aber kann er das? Wollte Barack Obama nicht der große Konsens-Präsident sein, der im Wahlkampf noch erklärte: „Es gibt kein linkes und kein rechtes Amerika, sondern nur die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika“?

America's Teacher

Naomi Klein interviews Michael Moore

You can't avoid the anger boiling over at some point when you have one in eight mortgages in delinquency or foreclosure, where there's a foreclosure filing once every 7.5 seconds and the unemployment rate keeps growing. That will have its own tipping point.

The Ultimate Sign Of Our Lethargy

By Bill Maher

Millions thrown out of their homes, tossed out of work, lost their life savings, retirements postponed - and they just take it. 30% interest on credit cards? It's a good thing the Supreme Court legalized sodomy a few years ago.

How Ted Turner Scored Yellowstone's Bison Herd

Joshua Frank, AlterNet: "Yellowstone buffalo, despite being on the verge of extinction, have virtually no protections in the West. And media mogul Ted Turner's going to cash in on it. It is just one more battle in the century-and-a-half-old range wars, where land and wildlife have come into direct conflict with selfish, private interests."

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "Sooner or later, heaving buckets of blame onto George W. Bush for what we as a nation are being forced to endure will become a facile excuse; at some point, the whole kit and caboodle will be the sole property of President Barack Obama, whether he likes it or not and be damned to excuses. Already, his administration has taken enough dramatic measures to ensure that, should something go wrong, a fair share of censure will and rightly should be placed on the present and not the past."

How to Trap a President in a Losing War

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch.com: "Front and center in the debate over the Afghan War these days are General Stanley 'Stan' McChrystal, Afghan war commander, whose 'classified, pre-decisional' and devastating report - almost eight years and at least $220 billion later, the war is a complete disaster - was conveniently, not to say suspiciously, leaked to Bob Woodward of the Washington Post by we-know-not-who at a particularly embarrassing moment for Barack Obama; Admiral Michael 'Mike' Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who has been increasingly vocal about a 'deteriorating' war and the need for more American boots on the ground; and the president himself, who blitzed every TV show in sight last Sunday and Monday for his health reform program, but spent significant time expressing doubts about sending more American troops to Afghanistan. ('I'm not interested in just being in Afghanistan for the sake of being in Afghanistan ... or sending a message that America is here for the duration.')"

Twenty-Five Million

Eric Desrosiers, Le Devoir: "People are saying that the signs of an economic recovery and of banks' return to profitability remove the pressure on governments to tighten the rules on the financial sector that was the source of the crisis. Yet the continuation of the deterioration in the labor market for many months still ought to constitute a powerful indicator that they should persevere in their efforts."

Who is this man we elected to the highest office in the land? Is he a change-bringer, or just more of the same? We’re about to find out. The New York Times informs us that there is a battle shaping up for hearts and minds — not in the wilds of Afghanistan, but in the White House. And the one heart and mind that matters the most is, of course, the President’s...
