CIty Changes Name For Promotion
"Beginning at 1 p.m. Wednesday, the city of Altoona will change its name to "POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold," after the latest film by sarcastic documentarian Morgan Spurlock.
The city is changing its name for 60 days to make some money — and to help Spurlock make a point about the proliferation of advertising in American life.
POM WONDERFUL PRESENTS: THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER SOLD, Pa. (AP) — About 31,000 central Pennsylvanians will soon be living in a joke."

Heaven Can Wait
"The inability to think critically underlies many of our cultural wars. Nearly all the great ethical challenges facing society today are exacerbated to some extent by rapid advances in science and technology. Current political, religious and educational institutions are improperly armed to address the moral consequences ensuing from scientific achievements. In any society dominated by religion and religious morality, technology often proceeds at a pace greater than society's ability to address the associated moral dilemmas."

An Opposition Party, Not a Coalition
We're Not Broke. We've Been Robbed!
Amplify’d from www.huffingtonpost.com
We're not broke, but the wealth grab is wrecking our economy. The rich can't spend enough to keep the economy going. The engine that drives it is a strong middle class. The problem isn't that we haven't generated wealth, it's that we've stopped sharing the wealth we've generated. If wages had kept up with productivity over the past 30 years, the median wage would be 60% higher than it is now. If income had increased at the same rate for everyone from 1979 to 2006, the average family would make about $10,000 more a year, but the top 1% would make $700,000 less.

Did the Universe Begin as 1-D Line?
Trigger Happy
"But politicians can read polls, and they know that those proposals are extremely unpopular. So they've stopped offering them directly and are hiding behind the "trigger" mechanism instead. We are already seeing evidence that the austerity economics program is hurting the British economy in pretty much the same way that we would expect it to hurt ours."
..."Retail sales plunged 3.5 percent in March, the sharpest monthly downturn in Britain in 15 years. And a new report ... forecasts that real household income will fall by 2 percent this year. That would make Britain's income squeeze the worst for two consecutive years since the 1930s."...
"When politicians hide that kind of agenda behind a Rube Goldberg device like the trigger, they're just compounding bad judgment with political cowardice. No wonder they're are all anybody can talk about in Washington this week. "
