"Oh, no! The horror!
“Self-reliance” is now a pejorative? Nice to have that clarified."

At a million-dollar San Francisco fundraiser today, President Obama warned his recession-battered supporters that if he loses the 2012 election it could herald a new, painful era of self-reliance in America.
"Oh, no! The horror!

New England: the gold rush | Robert McCrum | Travel | The Observer:
"Genuine inn-keepers fiercely defend their independence. In Bethlehem, New Hampshire, Brad and Ilja Chapman manage Adair, one of the loveliest inns in New England, a remote 1920s country house hidden down a twisting drive about 20 minutes from Meredith. They run the place themselves, with a chef and a couple of maids, and pride themselves on knowing their customers. The bedrooms have neither phone nor television, which contributes to the restful air. Ilja, who is Dutch, likes to talk about the "Adair family", which gives you some idea of what you might expect as a guest."

New Hampshire Might Legalize Civil Unions For Everyone—Including Siblings:
"Asked about the logic behind allowing siblings to enter into civil unions, Bates responded, “You have that question backwards. By definition in the bill, a ‘civil union’ means a contractual agreement that provides reciprocal benefits and obligations to the parties to the agreement.”

TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers - Slashdot:
"OverTheGeicoE writes
"TSA's VIPR program may be expanding. According to the Washington Times, 'TSA has always intended to expand beyond the confines of airport terminals. Its agents have been conducting more and more surprise groping sessions for women, children and the elderly in locations that have nothing to do with aviation.' In Tennessee earlier this month, bus passengers in Nashville and Knoxville were searched in addition to the truck searches discussed here previously. Earlier this year in Savannah, Georgia, TSA forced a group of train travelers, including young children, to be patted down. (They were getting off the train, not on.) Ferry passengers have also been targeted. According to TSA Administrator John Pistole's testimony before the Senate last June, 'TSA conducted more than 8,000 VIPR operations in the [previous] 12 months, including more than 3,700 operations in mass-transit and passenger-railroad venues.' He wants a 50% budget increase for VIPR for 2012. Imagine what TSA would do with the extra funding.""

Is Cain's 9-9-9 plan really a VAT in disguise?
Bachmann on Cain’s 9-9-9 plan: Turn those numbers upside down « Hot Air:
“The business tax in the Cain plan bears no resemblance to the present corporate income tax. The tax would apply to gross sales less dividends paid and all purchases from other companies, including investment goods. Thus, there would be no deduction for wages.”
This is far more similar to a value-added tax than to a corporate income tax.
VAT rate in UK = 20%

American Due Process: 1945 vs. 2011
Very Bad People Deserve to Be Killed | Sovereign Investor:

The concept of due process goes all the way back to Magna Carta, (1215) in which King John promised that ”[n]o free man shall be taken or imprisoned or disseized or exiled or in any way destroyed…except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land.”

"There is, of course, an easy way to clear things up, and that’s for Holder to come before the committee again and correct the record, to disclose at what point he realized that guns were “walking” across the border never to be seen again, and why this idiotic effort wasn’t halted sooner."

Essex County Chronicles: N.H. lakes, mountains long an attraction for 'flatlanders' here » Opinion » SalemNews.com, Salem, MA:
"The town of Bethlehem was another favorite: the poet claimed it was one place she could get relief from her hay fever.
Larcom loved the White Mountains, which provided her with "rest and strength, aspiration and exultation." Unlike Whittier, she was a hiker and a climber. One of her poems, "Asleep on a Summit," was written after a climb of Mt. Washington. "Mountaineer's Prayer" was written upon hearing of Whittier's death."

The Day America Died by Paul Craig Roberts
The Day America Died by Paul Craig Roberts:
"Many expected President Obama to re-establish the accountability of government to law. Instead, he went further than Bush/Cheney and asserted the unconstitutional power not only to hold American citizens indefinitely in prison without bringing charges, but also to take their lives without convicting them in a court of law. Obama asserts that the US Constitution notwithstanding, he has the authority to assassinate US citizens, who he deems to be a "threat," without due process of law.
In other words, any American citizen who is moved into the threat category has no rights and can be executed without trial or evidence."

What's Happening In China: An Economy On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown:
"The more you go out and look around, and listen to your gut, the more worried you become. Something’s happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear … but it feels bad, very bad. The problem with models, and the reason I’m inclined to stick with my eyes and my gut, is that models work very well when prior patterns of perception and behavior remain constant, but are very poor at noticing inflection points where the way people think and act undergo a shift."
