HUFFPOST HILL - AUGUST 3RD, 2010

• Aug 03, 2010 from huffpolitics in Politics
  The political arena was rife with discussions of foreigners (or ferners, depending on what side you're on). In the Senate, Jeff Sessions and secret Panamanian John McCain voiced their support for a review of the 14th Amendment as some Hispanic schoolchildren in the state McCain immigrated to are apparently afraid to attend class. Mike Bloomberg sought to temper fears about the forthcoming mosque and Islamic center near Ground Zero with an impassioned speech on religious pluralism. Out in La La Land Rush Limbaugh again raised the "question" of President Obama's place of origin. Speaking of ferners and the power they wield, Republicans spent the day trashing New Yorker Elena Kagan. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010:
  
  REID POSTPONES DEBATE ON ENERGY BILL UNTIL AFTER RECESS - Despite stripping the bill of its signature provisions including a cap-and-trade system, the Senate still can't muster a vote before the month-long break. Lucia Graves: "Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Tuesday that the Senate will postpone the vote on energy and oil spill legislation until lawmakers return from the August recess. 'We tried jujitsu, we tried yoga, we tried everything we could to get Republicans to come along,' said Reid. Republican gripes include lifting the $75-million liability cap on oil companies, a provision that is also opposed by oil industry allies Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Mark Begich (D-Alaska)." http://huff.to/czWbnF
  
  BANK WATERS HELPED WAS A STRAIGHT-UP ZOMBIE - OneUnited, the bank that Maxine Waters is accused of assisting to the benefit of her stock-holding husband, was dead as all dead when it got a Treasury bailout, an analysis done Professor Linus Wilson shows. To be eligible for a bailout, banks needed at least a 5% tier one capital ratio. Wilson finds that OneUnited was sitting at -1% when Treasury swooped in with $12.1 million. It has missed five straight dividend payments; if it misses one more, Treasury can appoint two new directors to the board that Waters' husband once served on. "Perhaps the Boston lender is too politically connected to fail," says Wilson. A question for Treasury:

  Tim Geithner will be the featured guest at a CAP webcast on the economy tomorrow from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. The event will be moderated by John Podesta and Douglas Holtz-Eakin.
  
  SESSIONS JOINS CALL FOR REVIEW OF 14TH AMENDMENT - The top ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee today told reporters that "we definitely should look at" repealing the birthright citizenship contained in the 14th Amendment. What we have is a situation in which people fly here to have their children and then they automatically have dual citizenship...People do not believe that you should be able to break into America and then the baby becomes a citizen and then the whole family says, well, we can't go home, our child is a citizen...The Constitution is not as clear as it first appears...I continue to hear good Americans explain to me they think it makes no sense...I think hearings is a good way to do it. Let's have somebody draft an Amendment and see what it says. I think that it would be a good thing to have hearings on."
  
  John McCain agrees. Even though any real movement on modifying the Constitution is as dead as the Arizona senator is on the inside, the lawmaker formerly known as Maverick (and Panamanian-born) towed the line today. TPM: "TPMDC asked, 'Do you support the Minority Leader's push for hearings into the repeal of birthright citizenship?' 'Sure, why not?' McCain said briefly. 'Do you support the idea itself?' 'I support the idea of having hearings,' McCain said. 'Do you have a problem with the 14th Amendment?' another reporter asked. 'You're changing the constitution of the United States,' McCain said. 'I support the concept of holding hearings.'" Straight Talk! http://bit.ly/aCX0A3
  
  The 14th Amendment is what has allowed corporations to be treated as if they're citizens. Does the GOP really wanna start monkeying around with this one?
  
  By the way, even Lou Dobbs doesn't want to end birthright citizenship: "The idea that anchor babies somehow require changing the 14th amendment, I part ways with the Senators on that because I believe the 14th amendment, particularly in its due process and equal protection clauses, is so important. It lays the foundation for the entire Bill of Rights being applied to the states." http://bit.ly/a6wDJ8
  
  BP BEGINS STATIC KILL PROCEDURE, GULF MIGHT NOT RESEMBLE DARTH VADER'S KOI POND MUCH LONGER - "The oil spill 'static kill' attempt is officially underway, as BP seeks to plug the oil spill with mud and cement to stop flow once and for all.
  PBS NewsHour tweeted that the static kill attempt began officially today around 4 p.m. EST. BP says the process will take between 33-61 hours if all goes as planned. BP has said the static kill is a chance to stop the oil spill leak...

Posted: 08 Oct 2010 03:14 AM PDT [TNW Apple] When you buy a new Mac it always seems so fast, at first. Know the feeling? Then, after a week or two suddenly you find yourself waiting for another bouncing icon or a spinning ball. Is it a conspiracy? Is there a time-release poison-pill that activates after a week and screws up your memory chips? Nah, it is all you. Really. But dont panic. Here is a list of things that slow down your mac and some easy solutions and tips to speed it up. Oh, and some misconceptions at the end about speeding up Macs that might be useful if you think you know all about optimizing already. Clean up desktop If you are like me you use your desktop as the single most repository for files you dont know what to do with. Screenshots, documents, downloads, all that stuff. It turns out that every file you keep on your desktop is treated like a separate window. The more files you keep there the more effort your PC has to spend on managing that. The trick is to clean up every now and then. So how do you do that? First of all: create a folder called Desktop Archive and place it on your desktop. Every day at the end of the day file everything you can file and delete what you can delete and dump the rest in your Desktop Archive. There, You solved it. The other thing you can do is specify a download folder for Safari. Go to Settings->General and select a specific folder in Safari which is not your desktop. Quit Open Applications Mac OS X does a great job of managing your open applications. That doesnt mean you should just open all applications and expect everything to work just as fast as without any open applications. Memory if finite, applications perform background tasks and yes, sometimes applications quietly start deteriorating while you think they are just patiently waiting for you to return. Take a look at the applications you have launched and if you arent planning on using them within the next 4 hours do yourself a favor and close them. Prevent Applications from opening in the first place Go to System Preferences->Accounts->select your own user account->Login items. There you will find a list of all visible and hidden applications that launch when you start up your computer. Chances are you can safely remove half of them. If you are not sure type the name into Google and see what the community says about them. Bonus tip: while you are there you might as well add one or two applications you always want open. I added Mail and Safari because I just always need those...

Huffpost hill - september 27th, 2010

• Sep 27, 2010 from insurancemake in Business
  Congress hits the campaign trail next week to convince Americans that it's actually getting work done. Accentuating that point, Democrats boldly forced Republican senators to march to the floor and declare, once and for all ... "present." White House officials, meanwhile, managed to offend both liberals AND conservatives. David Axelrod thinks Republicans don't have the stones to vote against a renewal of the Bush tax cuts without breaks for the hyper-wealthy and Joe Biden chastised lefties for being little more than a bunch of do-nothing whiners. We'll be scanning the wires all night to see if the judicial branch has done anything to alienate the populace. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Monday, September 27th, 2010:
  
  AXELROD: GOP WILL 'BLINK' ON BUSH TAX CUTS EXPIRATION - After speaking at a joint Politico/Google forum on the midterms during which he mostly berated Politico, senior POTUS advisor David Axelrod kindly took a moment to discuss GOP machinations to renew ALL of the Bush tax cuts: "Yeah. I think they will blink when their constituents tell them enough is enough, let's move on a tax cut for 98 percent of the American people, in fact 100 percent, everyone will get it up to $250,000 dollars," Axe said. "They just want to give a special premium to millionaires and billionaires and we can't afford the $700 billion to do that." Sam Stein, dressed to the nines in his Jos. A Bank menswear, filed this report: http://huff.to/dnSqwf
  
  The House has been focusing on industrial policy the past few weeks in a last-minute bid to win back voters sick about the state of manufacturing, who connect the budget deficit and the national debt to the foreign trade imbalance with China and worry America's best days are behind it. Whether anybody noticed the House votes, the Senate apparently did, and is now pushing forward with its own industrial agenda. "I wish this election would be a simple referendum on this issue," Dick Durbin said on the floor today about a bill to punish companies who outsource jobs, no doubt speaking from the heart. "I'd like to take that question to the American voters...Who in the world believes that we should be rewarding corporations in our country for shipping jobs overseas?" The bill, on the floor late tomorrow morning, includes a payroll tax holiday for companies that bring jobs back from overseas, ends tax breaks for plants that shut down to go elsewhere, and blocks companies from deferring their tax bill year to year by keeping money out of the U.S. The Senate's holding a live quorum call tonight, starting around seven and possibly going until eleven tonight. Don't worry, the Nats game is getting rained out (JB guesses.)
  
  An exclusive excerpt from Steny Hoyer's speech tomorrow at the Conference on the Renaissance of American Manufacturing hosted by the National Press Club: "[T]his week the House will vote on three additional bills. One will make sure that the government buys American-made American flags. Another helps ensure that American workers are given every opportunity to earn certifications, degrees, and qualifications for the jobs American industry needs to fill. And the third addresses China's unfair currency policy and its harms to American workers. By deliberately keeping the value of its currency low, China is able to sell its goods in the United States at an artificially low price--which helps put American manufacturers out of business. The bill we vote on this week will help level the playing field for American businesses and workers."
  
  HuffPost Hill sat down for an exit interview with Delaware Sen. Ted Kaufman. We asked him why monkeys don't turn into humans in front of our eyes. "I'll say two things about Christine," Kaufman said. "One is, she's a very interesting person. And two is, I've never seen her quoted out of context."
  
  BIDEN TO LEFT: QUIT 'WHINING' - Whaaaa! Using slightly sharper language than his standard Mayberry English (see "malarkey!, That's" and "ya, Lemme tell"), the vice president told a crowd at a New Hampshire fundraiser today that Democrats need to "remind our base constituency to stop whining and get out there and look at the alternatives. This President has done an incredible job. He's kept his promises." That rumbling you hear is the sound of a thousand WordPress accounts being created in frustration. http://bit.ly/a37q74
  
  Adam Green, co-founder, Progressive Change Campaign Committee: "The 'professional left' is busting our butt to mobilize progressive voters in 2010, picking up the ball that this White House dropped when they refused to fight for the overwhelmingly popular public option, refused to break up the big banks, and demobilized Obama voters who expected this President to at least fight for big change. When Vice President Biden tells Joe Lieberman to 'stop whining' about the public option, and tells Ben Nelson to 'stop whining' about voting on a middle-class tax cut that benefits 98% of Americans, he'll have some credibility on the whining...

HUFFPOST HILL - JULY 22ND, 2010

• Jul 22, 2010 from huffpolitics in Politics
  A disheartening day for environmentalists and oyster aficionados who don't think Castrol mixes well with horseradish. BP and government response crews may have to temporarily abandon construction of a relief well due to an oncoming storm in the Gulf. Documents were uncovered that indicate Transocean employees were aware of safety violations on the Deepwater Horizon drill but kept it to themselves for fear of reprisals. Back in Washington, with no GOP support in sight, Harry Reid jettisoned plans for a comprehensive energy bill. Tomorrow we'll be scouring Nevada for municipal candidates to endorse and exposing the vast Black Panther ice cream conspiracy. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Thursday, July 22nd, 2010:
  
  CHARLIE RANGEL CHARGED WITH ETHICS VIOLATIONS - Bad news for the veteran lawmaker and Harvey Fierstein's vocal doppelganger: "A House investigative committee has charged New York Rep. Charles Rangel, the former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, with multiple ethics violations. The charges were announced Thursday. The panel's actions sends the case to a trial on the allegations. A separate ethics panel will decide whether the alleged violations can be proved by clear and convincing evidence...Sources said the committee and Rangel's attorney attempted unsuccessfully to negotiate a settlement to end the case. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private discussions. A settlement would have required Rangel to agree that he violated ethics rules." http://huff.to/bWeBIm
  
  Rangel to reporters: "I don't have anything right now to respond to."
  
  @carriedann: FWIW, Rangel primary challenger Adam Clayton Powell IV has about $50k cash on hand, a tenth of what Rangel has in the bank
  
  Michele Bachmann on the GOP's agenda if Democrats lose control of the House this November: "I think all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another and expose all the nonsense that has gone on." http://bit.ly/bKIWT7
  
  HUFFPOST HILL EXCLUSIVE: EXCERPTS FROM STENY HOYER'S CAP SPEECH TOMORROW - To be delivered at the Center for American Progress Action Fund at 11:15 am: "Despite Republicans' efforts to demonize those policies, they can't refute the nonpartisan analysis that shows that they have been responsible for 2 million, and as many as 3 million, jobs. They can't ignore those investments' benefits in their own communities--not when the House Minority Whip himself, Eric Cantor, has hosted three job fairs featuring employers that have benefited from just such federal funds. Democrats, on the other hand, are putting forward new ideas to drive our recovery, particularly when it comes to our vital manufacturing sector. That's why the House is launching the Make it in America agenda: a comprehensive strategy to boost American manufacturing. So when we talk about Republican economic failure, we aren't talking about a passing trend. From decade to decade, and today, Democratic policies have supported innovation, the interests of the middle class, and a better standard of living for all Americans. Republican policies have objectively favored the privileged and left working Americans behind."
  
  HOUSE PASSES UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENSION, PRESIDENT SIGNS INTO LAW - "Congress has approved legislation to restore unemployment benefits to people who have been out of work for six months or more, ending a seven-week interruption that caused 2 1/2 million people to lose unemployment benefits averaging about $300 a week. The 272-152 House vote Thursday will send the measure to President Barack Obama, who has promised to quickly sign it. The House vote came less than 24 hours after a mostly party-line Senate vote Wednesday on the measure, which is just one piece of a larger Democratic jobs agenda that has otherwise mostly collapsed after months of battles with Republicans." http://huff.to/aT8Ny5
  
  DAILY DELANEY IT'S ABOUT TIME - The President received the bill around 5:00 (it was quickly driven to the White House) and shortly thereafter he affixed his signature to the legislation.
  
  GEITHNER STILL MUM ON ELIZABETH WARREN - At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast with reporters this morning, the Treasury Secretary was conspicuously tight-lipped abut his views on the prospects for top TARP overseer, Elizabeth Warren, being named as head of the forthcoming consumer protection bureau. "I think she would be a very effective leader of that institution," Geithner said of Warren. He added that there are two other candidates being considered for the position: Michael Barr, the assistant treasury secretary for financial institutions, and Gene Kimmelman, the chief counsel for competition policy in the DOJ's antitrust division. Dan Froomkin: http://huff.to/9fYldq
  
  RAY LAHOOD: SOME REPUBLICANS SECRETLY APPROVE OF THE STIMULUS - Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says that Republicans tell him in private conversations (which is like a beta version of Journolist) that they are actually impressed with the stimulus'...
