The [Two-Year-Delayed]-Holocaust-Education-Mandate was passed today by the legislature after the House concurred in Senate amendments [unanimously (197-0)]; thus, a signing-ceremony is imminent. In a related matter *Holocaust Minimalization, a neologism c/o ZOA-Prez Mort Klein], I spoke with Betsy Leebron Tutelman, Ph.D., Senior Vice Provost for Strategic Communications of Temple University [215-204-2483, betsy@temple.edu] who restated Temples official statement in this regard:
It is Temple University's position that the ample historical evidence, scholarship and research regarding the horrific impact of the Holocaust on the Jewish people is a strong counterpoint to Dr. Alessio Lerro's statements. Dr. Lerro's opinion is solely his own and not that of Temple University. Temple University condemns in the strongest possible terms the disparagement of any person or persons based on religion, nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation or identity.
It is desirable to recap the initial database [which has been amplified by awareness that Jim Keegstra, who has died @ age-80, was a Holocaust denying high school teacher, mechanic, and mayor of Eckville, Alta., whose prosecution for the wilful promotion of hatred went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, where the controversial law was upheld as a fair limit on free speech]:
An article in the Exponent noted that it is Time to step down, Temple University Adjunct Professor Alessio Lerro, due to anti-Semitism that has been widely-condemned locally and nationally [as was explored in a recent Blast e-mail, based on an article published on June 5, 2014, detailed five times in May, cited in temple-news, and noted by the ADL. [He was educated @ rutgers per his C.V.; he was awarded an SAS Mellon Summer Research Grant to travel to two European archives (Glasgow and Naples) to research the role of visual culture (typography, paintings, emblems) in Giambattista Vico's Principi di Scienza Nuova; wrote a chapter in Trains, Literature, and Culture: Reading and Writing the Rails, excerpted; and uploaded a banjo-medley.]
His posting related to the Modern Language Associations resolution condemning Israel *It is time that Zionists are asked to finally account for their support to the illegal occupation of Palestine since 1967. This resolution rightly targets only Israel given the humongous influence that Jewish scholars have in the decision making process of Academia in general.+. Fortunately, the Modern Language Association of America announced that its members failed to muster the 10% vote required to pass this resolution that would have condemned Israel for several alleged incidents in which US academics were denied entry to the West Bank; the Modern Language Association failed to pass a resolution Wednesday that would have condemned Israel as an occupying power 1562
after not enough of its members bothered to vote. This escapade was captured on a Blog about Stories that Cannot Possibly Have Occurred.
What is vital, here is that he recalled The Horror of Holocaust Denial.
Temple Adjunct Professor Alessio Lerro was arguing that Jews are exaggerating the extent of the Holocaust to obtain policitcal advantages. In the course of supporting the Modern Langue Associations new anti-Israel resolution, Lerro wrote this about the Holocaust: 6 million? Mh we all know *or should know+ that the counting of Jews is a bit controversial. Lerro is a reportedly a gamer, and CBS Locals Dom Giordano reports that mh is internet slang for map hack, a term meaning cheating to gain an advantage. In other words, Lerro is arguing that Jews are gaming the Holocaust numbers in order to gain a political advantage in public debates.
Lerro also reportedly accused Jewish scholars of manipulating academia and charged that it is time that Zionists are asked to finally account for their support to the illegal occupation of Palestine since 1967. Here we have a fine example of the ugly stereotypes that underlie Holocaust denial and Holocaust minimization. It is highly disturbing to finds these stereotypes circulated by a university professor.
A Temple University spokesman appeared to support Lerros comments, or at least to reject efforts to condemn them, arguing that the exercise of academic freedom necessarily results in a vigorous exchange of ideas, although the spokesman later added that the views and opinions of any individual are those of the individual and not those of the university. While academic freedom certainly results in a robust exchange of ideas, it need not result in an ugly exchange of racist canards. An institution of higher learning, like Temple University, should understand the difference between debatable views and opinions and classical expressions of bigotry.
Its growing acceptability was reflected in the fact that TEMPLE UNIVERSITY WOULD NOT CONDEMN HIM; Temple University stated that a professor who accused Jews of potentially exaggerating the Holocaust to gain power and influence has the right to do so because of academic freedom. The key-question is whether anything can be done by activists in this regard, particularly by Temples alumni/-ae. The situation appears similar to events surrounding revelations of Sterlings racism, notwithstanding the shrouded environment through which the information had been revealed. What has not been achieved, yet, is any type of acknowledgement by this guy of his error; the lack of contrition, one would think, should be damning.
Betsy ended her e-mail by attempting to deflect attention *Regarding your request for clarification of Dr. Lerros comments, I would suggest that you contact him directly+, but this was not responsive to the specific request I had made, as was reflected in my response *This differs from what you said, when I 1563
asked whether the university would ask that he clarify the record; you stated, I believe, that you are not willing to discuss personnel decisions and, thus, that you would not ask that he clarify the record with regard to accusations of Holocaust Denial.+, to which she has yet to reply, despite my explicit coda *Please confirm the accuracy of this facet of our conversation.+ It would seem that the next step is chatting-up the Dean of his department, starting with the Italian entries on the Temple U. website.
The US Senate Commerce Committee, chaired by Sen. John Rockefeller, scheduled a hearing on June 18 at 2:30 P.M. to lobby for FDAs proposed deeming regulation (that would ban >99% of e-cigs and give the e-cig industry to Big Tobacco and perhaps NJOY) and, yet again, to accuse falsely e-cig companies of target marketing to youth. Although the witness panel includes two e-cig prohibitionists and two e-cig manufacturers, all five scheduled testifiers (AAPs Susanne Tanski, CTFKs Matt Myers, blus Jason Healy, NJOYs Craig Weiss and Scott Ballin) have publicly advocated FDA regulation of e-cigs. Also:
- since 2009, Obama's FDA and CDC, and Big Pharma funded CTFK, AAP, ACS, AHA, ALA have falsely accused e-cig companies of target marketing to youth despite no evidence, - FDAs proposed deeming regulation would ban >99% of e-cig products and would give the e-cig industry to Big Tobacco companies and perhaps NJOY, - e-cigs have helped more than a million cigarette smokers quit smoking, - e-cigs are target market to adult cigarette smokers and vapers, and virtually all e-cigs have been consumed by adult smokers and former smokers who switched to vaping, - there is no evidence that any nonsmoking youth (or adult) has become a daily vaper, - 38 states have already banned the sale of e-cigs to minors despite hypocritical opposition by CTFK, ACS, AHA, ALA.
The vehicle bill for Sen. Rockefeller's June 18 hearing is S. 2047: Protecting Children from Electronic Cigarette Advertising Act of 2014, co-sponsored by Democrat Sens. Boxer, Durbin, Harkin, Blumenthal, Markey, Brown); it has NO chance of enactment, has negligible chance of Senate passage, and probably wont be passed by the Senate Commerce Cmte.
At Wednesday's hearing, Senate Democrats and e-cig prohibitionists Matt Myers and Suzanne Tanski almost certainly will cite the Democrats outrageous April 2014 report "Gateway to Addiction" that falsely accuses all e-cig ads of targeting youth; know that Sens. Rockefeller, Boxer, Blumenthal and Markey are on the Senate Commerce Cmte and helped draft the outrageous Gateway to Addiction report.
Timetable of events leading up to June 18 Senate Commerce Cmte hearing (not including FDA actions).
9/13 US Senate/House Democrats who oppose e-cigs send letter to nine e-cig manufacturers (NJOY, Lorillard, Reynolds, Altria, LOGIC, Eonsmoke, GreenSmoke, VMR 1564
Products/V2, and Lead By Sales/White Cloud) requesting information about their advertising and marketing practices.
12/13 US Senate Democrats who oppose e-cigs send letter to FTC to urge the agency to investigate and restrict e-cig advertising
2/14 US Senate Democrats who oppose e-cigs introduce S. 2047 urging FTC to ban e-cig ads to adults (to protect the children).
2/14 Jacob Sullum points out that S. 2047 is unconstitutional
4/14 US Senate/House Democrats who oppose e-cigs issue report "Gateway to Addiction" falsely accusing e-cig companies of target marketing to youth, falsely claim e- cigs are addicting children, and falsely claiming e-cigs are gateways to cigarette smoking.

IRS CNN PANEL MOCKS LERNER'S EMAIL DEFENSE DOZENS OF EXAMPLES - GOP report claims Obama influenced IRS targeting IRS Lost Lerner Emails Due to Computer Crash, Agency Says National Reviews John Fund is focused today on testing the plausibility of the IRS claim that it has lost all of the emails between Lois Lerner, the former agency executive at the center of the scandal over targeting President Obamas political enemies, and anyone outside of the organization. The blackout covers not only the key 16-months in the investigation but would expressly deny investigators what they seek: evidence the conspiracy went beyond the agency and into other parts of the administration. Fund argues that the case for the emails being unrecoverable is weak, but also explains why they matter: Last years report by the IRS inspector general set out a timeline of the IRSs targeting of conservative groups. A full 16 of the 26 non-redacted events in the inspector generals timeline took place during the period for which all of Lerners e-mails were lost, and these 16 instances refer to e-mail as the source for information on that event. pat-sajaks-take-on-the-lost-irs-emails-is-a-winner [Pat Sajak responds to frenzy over global warming tweet, left calls for him to lose job] [bill_maher_pat_sajak_is_an_idiot] LOIS LERNERS LOST EMAILS couldnt have been lost 1570

Obama's wrong foreign activities were made ON PURPOSE by plan and not as accidental mistakes, to fulfill his wrong ideology; thus, people must be convinced to vote for the right Senators and Congressmen in Nov. 2014 to stop Obama from compounding these errors. Here are BHOs eleven foreign policy blunders committed during the past three years:
* USA still "negotiating" on Iran Nuke... Last week, the US delegation was told by White House: "Dont leave talks with Iran without an improved interim deal" *Even so the Iranian negotiators did not move an inch-] By DEBKA.com 1574
... the P5+1 negotiations with Iran are at an impasse, with no chance of achieving their goal of a final nuclear accord by the July deadline ..." A US official said that the bilateral stage was fitted to engage in as much active diplomacy as possible; we can test whether we can reach a diplomatic solution with Iran on its nuclear program.... accompanying round after round of failed discussions...."
* It is not a surprised attack by ISIS (al-Qaida branch] on Iraq as "even last year ISIS began moving fighting strength from Syria to Iraq - flocking to the ISIS campaign against Nuri al-Maliki," [Iraqi PM], as reported by Debka.com on 6-11 "....The American intelligence community is only now scrambling to draw up a potential target list in Iraq, and possibly Syriaeven though the threat of ISIS has been visibly growing for years."
* The US had delivered a major blow to its Israeli ally after announcing that the US government would work with the new Palestinian unity government backed by the Hamas terrorist organization- On other hand, Egypts president punishes Hamas, Jihadi Islami in Gaza, fires up strife in Palestinian government .....while the USA stopped Finance aid to Egyptians who are fighting the Muslim brotherhood, Hamas and terrorists:
* First mistake was to remove Kaddafi as "Kaddafi was the best success of western countries in last 15 years in the mid-east, with a very stable and pro-western co-operation" (ref is a top national analyst and journalist on Israel TV news panel, Ari Shavit), and Kaddafi took good care of his people including free education to all his people.
* Obama supporting rebels (supported by Iran) in Bahrain, per following references: http://debka.com/article/20858/
* Obama helped removing Mubarak in Egypt by supported Muslim brotherhood - REF: Hillary Clinton's new book
* Obama stopped Finance aid to the military leaders in Egypt who are fighting the Muslim brotherhood, Hamas and terrorists.
* Obama supported terrorist rebels in Syria, anti-west rebels who support al-Qaida (reference is available):
* Obama moved his navy out of middle east and now Russian are taking control on the mid east:
More details on the above points:
* USA is still "negotiating" on Iran Nuke... Last week US delegation was told by White House: "Dont leave talks with Iran without an improved interim deal" *Even so the Iranian negotiators did not move an inch-] By DEBKA.com file Special Report June 8, 2014, http://www.debka.com/article/23981/US- delegation-told-by-White-House-Don%E2%80%99t-leave-talks-with-Iran-without-an- %E2%80%9Cimproved%E2%80%9D-interim-deal-
...the fact is that the P5+1 negotiations with Iran are at an impasse, with no chance of achieving their goal of a final nuclear accord by the July deadline ... US want to have something to show for the venture into nuclear diplomacy - .....they are still testing if they can achieve something as......" A US official said 1575
that the bilateral stage was fitted to engage in as much active diplomacy we can to test whether we can reach a diplomatic solution with Iran on its nuclear program. .... "But the optimistic comments of progress accompanying round after round of failed discussions had to be explained away." [Note: even a bad agreement is better for Obama than no deal- Obama still testing if he can achieve something .]
And..."Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced Saturday that Iran would go straight from the meeting with the US delegation to a separate one with Russian negotiators on June 11-12." Tehran has thus provided itself with the option of improving on Washingtons offer by getting a better deal from Moscow. This maneuver also brings to the attention of the Obama administration that Iran means henceforth to line up its Middle East policy and strategy with Moscow."
My suggestion: Senators and Congressmen should force Obama to listen to the Israelis who said in October 2013 that this is a BAD agreement and to resume the sanctions on Iran. Now "The American source commented wryly that the two-day Geneva encounter would undoubtedly provide the stage for further US concessions if the delegation wishes to come out with any sort of accord in hand."
We need to vote for the right Senators and Congressmen in Nov 2014 in order to stop Obama from more wrong activities. The above and following info show that Obama don't understand that the Muslim leaders understand only force as "negotiation" is their strong weapon to get more and more from the west without giving back anything. * The US had delivered a major blow to its Israeli ally after announcing that the US government would work with the new Palestinian unity government backed by the Hamas terrorist organization. http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/16074/us-abandons-israel- terrorists/#EX3OtWBwtF3fRpBr.99 :" ...Israeli officials criticized the US for backing a government backed by Hamas ..." On the other hand, Egypts president punishes Hamas, Jihadi Islami in Gaza, fires up strife in Palestinian government .....while the USA supported the Hamas- Fatah government and stopped Finance aid to Egyptian who are fighting the Muslim brotherhood, Hamas and terrorists: Israeli Minister Landau said: The willingness of the US administration to effectively recognize the Abbas-Hamas government causes damage to the security of Israels citizens and encourages terror.
* Intervention in Libya Cost USA at Least $896 Million: Ref: http://www.akronnewsnow.com/...
* Washington is doing the unthinkable: empowering Islamic butchers: "...the rebels *in Libya + - contrary to Obama's spin - are not pro-democracy freedom fighters. Many of them are anti-west Muslim fundamentalists who seek to forge an Islamist Libya.
Al Qaeda is in their ranks. Libyan jihadists who spent years in Iraq killing U.S. soldiers form the nucleus of the anti-Gadhafi movement. Hence, Washington is doing the unthinkable: empowering Islamic butchers whose hands are soaked in American blood. ...Obama's policy contravenes our national interest, is inept, immoral and illegal.." . Ref: http://www.washingtontimes.com/.../print/
* The second time Obama supported anti-west rebels (similar to Libya case): "After Obama supported the demonstrators in Bahrain in 2011 [supported by Iran], Saudi Arabia ....King Abdullah first defied the Obama administration's policy of support for popular uprisings against autocratic Arab regimes on March 14 by sending Saudi troops into Bahrain to prop up the king against the Shiite-led disturbances 1576

* Nobody Predicted What Would Happen in Iraq...Except This Guy [George W Bush] http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/nobody-predicted-what-would-happen-iraqexcept-guy In July 2007, President Bush explained: "I know some in Washington would like us to start leaving Iraq now. To begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for Iraq, for the region, and for the United States. It would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to al Qaeda. It would mean that wed be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. It would mean wed allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan. It would mean increasing the probability that American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous." Action, As Suggested above: We better convince people (with the data here) to vote for the right Senators and Congressmen in Nov. 2014 in order to stop Obama from doing more wrong foreign activities.
= = = = = = = We dont have boots on ground providing intelligence and we dont have confidence in information that the Iraqi government provides, because theyve *been+ so heavy-handed in the use of force against Sunni villages, said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a senior member of the House Intelligence Committee. In other words, the American intelligence community is only now scrambling to draw up a potential target list in Iraq, and possibly Syriaeven though the threat of ISIS has been visibly growing for years. And while the analysts are trying to figure out who they should zero in on, Obama administration lawyers are wrestling with what legal authorities the president might have to carry out an attack. http://news.yahoo.com/us-spies-dont-know-hit-iraq-094500103--politics.html = = = = = = = = = = = = Al Qaeda forms up to march on Baghdad, gathering up Iraqi Sunni rebels. Maliki cries treason DEBKA.com file Exclusive Report June 11, 2014, http://debka.com/article/23991/Al-Qaeda-forms-up-to- march-on-Baghdad-gathering-up-Iraqi-Sunni-rebels-Maliki-cries-treason
Under its commander, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, Al Qaedas Islamic State in Iraq and Levant ISIS - formed up Wednesday night, June 11, to march on Baghdad in two columns one from Tikrit, which fell a few hours earlier, to Taji, just 20 km from the capital; the second from Tuz Khormato, 55 km south of the northern oil center of Kirkuk.
The Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki ordered the last two divisions and six mechanized brigades, totaling 50,000, still operational out of his million-strong army, to build a defensive line to save Baghdad and the seat of Iraqi government from the enemy......
DEBKAfiles military and intelligence sources report that al Qaedas march of conquest at incredible speed, while causing havoc and misery across Iraq, is also beginning to mutate from a terrorist assault into an insurgency. It is gathering up a growing following of disaffected Sunnis ready for revolt against the Shiite-led government in Baghdad.
Sunni Muslims account for around one-third of the Iraqi population of 35 million.... Our military sources found various Sunni militias, who had never before followed al Qaeda - not during 1577
the American occupation, or even last year when al ISIS began moving fighting strength from Syria to Iraq - flocking to the ISIS campaign against Nuri al-Maliki.
Among them are not only demoralized army commanders, but adherents of the dictator Saddam Husseins secular Baath Party, who have come out of retirement to join the jihad against Shiite rule. Wednesday night, the panic-stricken Al- Maliki accused Sunni politicians and army chiefs of betraying the Iraqi motherland. He refused to believe that Al Qaeda had been able unaided to conquer northern and central Iraq in a two-day blitz, unless it was the fruit of a long conspiracy carried out between the Islamists and Sunni leaders behind his back. The Iraqi prime minister alleged that the Sunni plotters against the government had provided Al-Baghdadi with intelligence, funds and arms caches ready for his fighters to use.

Regarding the anti-Semitism manifest by a Temple-Prof, I remitted a copy of yesterdays Blast e-mail to a bunch of people within the innards of this institution and await a reply; this is what I also wrote:
Greetings again. After having been guided to the correct phone-# [x1261], I spoke with Ms. Stephanie Smith who then forwarded me to Annette; she and the Assistant Dean [vide supra] received this e-mail separately, and I explained [perhaps excessively-exhaustively] my thinking. So that there is full informed consent, you are also being provided a copy of how I conceptualized the situation for the ~900 people [half on Facebook] who receive episodic Blast e-mails from me; I am obscuring nothing and do not wish to be subject to the accusation that I might have attempted to manipulate any recipient of these memos.
I said that [your below-articulated clarification-ambiguity notwithstanding] the best way to rectify this problem expeditiously is to invite the author of those factually-challenged writings to sign-on with the policy articulated in the subsequent Press Release; this would preclude people [including myself] from feeling compelled to make-noise [individually and/or via other organizations], and the Board members who have been contacted wouldnt have to tackle what should be a minor-glitch.
Therefore, although the schedules of the misguided-individual and the dean havent yet meshed, the need for them to meet formally to discuss this would be obviated if he were simply to issue a statement [via your department and/or that of his academic subset] that he concurs word-for-word with the universitys posture.
1579
Therefore, specifically, someone might wish to invite him to issue a simple-release that is congruent with what already [#2] has been disseminated, to wit: It is my position that the ample historical evidence, scholarship and research regarding the horrific impact of the Holocaust on the Jewish people [and millions of others, particularly Poles] is a strong counterpoint to what have been disseminated as Dr. Lerro's statements. My opinion is solely my own and it does not conflict with that of Temple University. Temple University and I condemn in the strongest possible terms the disparagement of any person or persons based on religion, nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation or identity.
Perhaps as an extra-added-bonus, he might wish to revise his incorrect claim that those who maintain awareness of the Holocaust are not compelled to do so for ANY nefarious reason*s+ ,such as to obtain political advantages-. Also, he would truly demonstrate awareness of the facts [rather than propaganda, the origin of which is routinely unclear] were he to recognize that it is untrue that Zionists wield undue influence within the world of Academe. Finally, he refers to a false-concept that has been assiduously debunked ,illegal occupation of Palestine since 1967- in so many ways that its difficult to summarize themand he, too, is invited to profess concurrence with this scaled- down narrative.
He should be aware of the Balfour Declaration that explicitly established what was to be post-Ottoman policy *His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people+; the SykesPicot Agreement that explicitly established Britains right to implement this post-Ottoman policy in the entire region-of-interest *Britain was allocated control of areas roughly comprising the coastal strip between the sea and River Jordan, Jordan, southern Iraq, and a small area including the ports of Haifa and Acre, to allow access to the Mediterranean. [6] +; the enduring impact of these documents *The agreement's principal terms were reaffirmed by the inter-Allied San Remo conference of 1926 April 1920 and the ratification of the resulting League of Nations mandates by the Council of the League of Nations on 24 July 1922+; and the subsequent implementation of this agreement via the U.N. when partition was passed *United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 called for the partition of the British-ruled Palestine Mandate into a Jewish state and an Arab state+.
Assuming he doesnt dispute any of the prodromal documents cited supra, he would therefore accept as legitimate/legal the re-establishment of the Ancient State of Israel in 1948 by people who had maintained continuous residence therein since the moment Joshua crossed the Jordan, recognizing that Armistice Lines *NOT internationally- recognized borders+ have existed since then. It is hoped that he would not try to dispute the legitimacy of Israels right to defend herself in 48 *against invading armies from all-round+ and in 67 *noting Nassers prior acts-of-war, notwithstanding overwhelming bellicosity from throughout the Arab World]. If he feels the ongoing administration of Judea/Samaria is somehow Illegal, then it would be desirable for him to accept the homework-assignment of providing academically-sound documentation for how he has arrived at this [incorrect] viewpoint, as I have documented [here and here+ in the past. And, knowing that its truly unfair to ask him to prove-a-negative, he should either ID any polity labeled Palestine that was legally- 1580
adjudged to have been governed by Muslims in modernity [excluding, for example, any claim that the Gaza Strip had been ruled by Philistines] or feel obligated to share the conclusion that reference to this word between the world-wars [by the British- occupiers] was to regions inhabited by Jews/Hebrews/Israelites.
Thus, as you perhaps have noted, Mr. Lerro has been walking towards a buzz-saw and, therefore, he should *as they say+ stop digging. He should personally be invited to co- adopt Temples policy with specific reference to what he *allegedly+ wrote. Silence is unacceptable. Perhaps a meeting could be scheduled thereafter to iron-out any more contemporary historical-disagreements [vide supra] but, first, his pedagogical credibility must be re-established [regardless of the academic pursuit he has chosen to follow @ Temple].

An ep-ed endorsing abolishing the office of Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania prompted me to write:
I dissent from the sentiments in this piece, if for no other reason than to note that the possibility of succession by an individual who has been internally-involved with all prior decision-making.
In particular, Jim Cawley could easily function as a stand-in were Tom Corbett to become disabled in any fashion; he would have such ability that a legislative-leader [for example] would not be able to muster immediately.
Illustrating the potential-independence of how these individuals are chosen is the fact that they are not hand-picked by the partys gubernatorial nominee; thus, there does not seem to be sufficient justification to abolish this position.

BHO Barletta Claims Presidential Impeachment Probably Could Pass [with my instant-comment, infra]
When weighing the gravity of this observation, one must know that its source is not a hot-head; indeed, he hasnt been perceived as having been aligned with the TEA [Taxed Enough Already] Party Movement.
A few years ago, I heard him speak @ Temple U regarding [then-]pending litigation promulgated in Hazelton regarding whether the city could regulate employment and housing of Illegals; he debated the issue with a lawyer who clearly was driven more by ideology than by facts and, of course, his measured-approach prevailed.
Thus, the best way to conceptualize the impact of this type of observation is simply to view it as a harbinger of the electoral-tsunami that seems increasingly likely to transpire in less than five months; supplanting BHO with Biden would be akin to flipping America from the skillet to the fire.

economy Obama Gets You For Fathers DayEqual Pay For Women IMF cuts U.S. growth outlook, says full employment years off Lousy Weather Isnt the Reason for Our Disappointing Economy The Lack of Major Wars May Be Hurting Economic Growth [according to the NY-Times] The belief that war, and government spending more generally, fosters economic growth by spurring innovation is one of those fallacies that wont die, no matter how often it is challenged and refuted. During WW-II, the economy was a huge arsenal in which the well-being of consumers deteriorated. The Broken Window Fallacy was refuted, including Krugmans interpretation of 9/11. Report from Iron Mountain is described as a satire from the 1960s that makes a convincing claim to be a government document on the destructive effects of the post-Cold War peace on American society and economy and illustrates the fears of a society struggling with its own identity and purpose. New material explores the history of this book. {I have a copy and remember that, when published, it was not viewed as satiric.]
