Once Obama got elected, turnout at anti-war protests dropped off a cliff. It’s clear most protesters were just anti-Bush, not anti-war. Glenn Greenwald unloads against faux liberals and progressives, who now are a-ok with Obama doing what they protested against Bush for doing. Repulsive liberal hypocrisy extends far beyond the issue of Guantanamo. A core [...] Gumroad could create entire new ways of selling things online. It could blow up PayPal. Seriously. This is disruptive technology. It’s dead simple. Login to Gumroad using Twitter or Facebook. Create a link for what to sell. Gumroad does the rest (and takes 5% plus 30 cents per transaction.) This means you can sell [...] Two t-shirts from the awesome collection at Blood is the New Black Continuing the theme, and for the ladies csmonitor.com Rather than charging a flat rate for electricity, major California power companies like PG&E and SCE are moving towards Time-Of-Use pricing.

After the latest misadventure by Chris Hedges, “The Cancer of Occupy,” Hedges does a wonderful job of obscuring and misinforming his readers. It’s not often that such a crack reporter gets his very first sentence with his [...] I don’t recall Chris Hedges being voted Moral Compass of Occupy, do you? Yet his temper tantrum in Truthdig implies just that. He knows what is best for the movement and it sure isn’t those icky Black Bloc anarchists. Yes, I think the Black Bloc are often misguided. But saying Occupy’s problems are due [...] The primary cause of unemployment, says a survey a business owners, is poor sales. Concerns about regulations are a distant third.
