Robert Reich explains the economy in less than 2:15 minutes, including some pretty nifty drawings.
Funny thing. When I posted this video I looked back at some previous posts and guess what I found? Yep, a few weeks ago I posted a link to Robert Reich's article. So, if you missed that and would like to read what he is saying here in a little more detail, go here.

Palin's Emails Are Out...Enjoy Links And Comments From Alaskan Bloggers
After three years, the state of Alaska has finally released over 24K emails under the Palin administration. You can follow these links to get right to the heart of what is uncovered...
Politicalgates
Immoral Minority
After most of the afternoon, Politicusa reveals that after sifting through a few thousand initial emails , it seems that those in Alaska who were responsible for releasing these emails are the same people who were appointed by Palin in the first place. So, what we are finding is that they have redacted emails that reveal anything of interest about Palin, but leave in the emails that criticize Palin so it looks like she is the victim again and again. And they don't stop there. They very thoughtfully left the names, addresses and even phone numbers on those emails.
I won't hold my breath that there is anything worth the time and energy it will take to look through the rest of the emails. They have been combed through and sanitized just like Sarah wanted.

"Once again, Sarah Palin shows a remarkable ability to turn a normal request (freedom of information or open records request in this case) into an opportunity for revenge on citizens whom she feels have wronged her. These emails were so heavily redacted that they tell the same story the upcoming propaganda film tells about Sarah Palin, though not even all of the Palin lawyers could put Sarah the Governor back together again. It’s clear from her emails that Sarah Palin was not governing the state of Alaska; she was a CC on emails between other people who governed for her, with very little guidance, direction or input from Sarah Palin until it came to her myth management."

Sarah Palin Makes Up Stuff About Paul Revere
Sarah Palin spent the day being all folksy with the people of Boston as she and her family toured the Freedom Trail. But Sarah doesn't blink as she recounts her version of Paul Revere's ride and how it fit into our American history. I just love watching video that captures those idiotic moments for eternity. Enjoy this from Mediaite!
Palin said, “He who warned uh, the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh by ringing those bells, and um, makin’ sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed.”
I have to agree with what Jason Easley wrote in Politicausa. Sarah Palin must be held accountable for her ignorance. She does not get a free pass when she makes up stuff when speaking about the history of this country. She must be exposed for the joke that she is.
She says this "vacation" of hers is not about posturing for her run at the Presidency? This family trip is not about raking in money for SarahPAC? No. No. She says this bus tour is about showing "us?" about the history of our country and how exceptional we are?
I say spare us, Sarah. My ears are bleeding.

The Truth About The American Economy
How did we go from the Great Depression to 30 years of Great Prosperity? And from there, to 30 years of stagnant incomes and widening inequality, culminating in the Great Recession? And from the Great Recession into such an anemic recovery?
Berkeley Professor and Huffington Post contributor Robert Reich has managed to write about the economy so that anyone could understand it. Read the whole article here.

Frank Bailey's Book Is Getting Some Play Today
Cenk from The Young Turks has been reading Frank Bailey's book, " Blind Allegiance." This tell-all book lays Sarah Palin out like a filleted trout as the author, who was a Palin insider, backs up all the dirt with actual emails...tens of thousands of them...written between the former Governor of Alaska and himself.
Consider the following...

Sarah Palin Is Not Having A Good Week
AKM has outdone herself this time. It took awhile to get on her site after she posted today at The Mudflats...lots of traffic. Her article, "The Real Tragedy of Sarah Palin" is one of the best articles on Sarah Palin and how her political career was carved out of an opportunistic personality.
Over at The Immoral Minority Gryphen has posted an interview between Laura Novak and Professor Scharlott that focuses on the possibility that Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy with Trig. Specifically, it zeros in on a photo from a video clip that clearly shows the outline of a square sofa pillow stuffed under Sarah's shirt. To read this article, go here.
Geoffrey Dunn has just released his book, "The Lies Of Sarah Palin" and curently I'm reading it on my Kindle. Frank Bailey's book is due out next week. "The Rogue" by Joe McGinness hits the shelves in September. It's going to be a long, hot summer, Sarah.

Rachel Maddow On South Dakota Drakonian Abortion Laws
Republicans are fixated on abolishing any abortion rights for women in this country. I just don't understand this fanatical obsession to rewrite the laws, not when we have more pressing problems to deal with as a nation. I don't understand this.
