Some say the world will end in fire and some say in ice. But in Washington, a lot of people say it will end if we don’t continually raise the debt ceiling. The statutory debt limit, or debt ceiling, represents the maximum amount of debt the federal government can carry at any given time. The limit was created in 1917 so that Congress wouldn’t have to vote every time the government wanted to increase… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Reason Magazine – Hit & Run Discovery Date : 01/03/2011 22:30 Number of articles : 2

New Black Kid On The Block: Herman Cain Is The First Republican Candidate To Officially Decide To Run For President

Nevermind the dead birds, now we KNOW the world is coming to an end! Herman Cain is officially the first Republican candidate to form and exploratory committee to run for the President of the United States. According to Gawker : Yesterday, we noted that no Republican candidates had joined the 2012 presidential race, even though many did by this stage in the last cycle. But today someone formed an exploratory committee! He’s Herman Cain. Who the hell is Herman Cain? Cain hosts a conservative radio show in Atlanta. Tea Party groups and ultra-conservative business leaders at places like the Club for Growth adore him. He was a mathematician for the department of the Navy and holds a master’s in computer science. He was a corporate vice president for Burger King before becoming chief executive of Godfather’s Pizza, and he’s chaired the boards of both the National Restaurant Association and the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. He has been an African-American for the past 65 years. (Previously, he was unborn.) And today he’s formed the first Republican presidential exploratory committee. We thank him for finally kicking this shit off. And he has the potential to leave some mark on the race, given his popularity among dingbats. From National Journal: While he would undoubtedly enter the race as a significant longshot, Cain has generated considerable buzz among grassroots conservatives and Tea Party activists, having spoken at dozens of rallies nationwide. Cain, who is African-American, recently emerged as the surprise winner of a presidential primary bracket on the conservative blog RedState, edging former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) by 800 votes. Further demonstrating that he should not be dismissed as a fringe candidate, Cain was one of 12 potential Republican presidential hopefuls invited to an upcoming forum in Des Moines, Iowa. The event, organized by Iowa’s Faith and Freedom Coalition — an influential social conservative group with ties to the Tea Party — will likely be the first forum of the 2012 contest. Can we just name him president right now? Otherwise we’d have to label him a “dark horse” candidate, and the Internet would call us racist.

Federal Prosecutors Trying To Build Conspiracy Case Against Assange

In a front-page story, the New York Times “Federal prosecutors, seeking to build a case against the WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange for his role in a huge dissemination of classified government documents, are looking for evidence of any collusion in his early contacts with an Army intelligence analyst suspected of leaking the information.” Justice Department officials “are trying to find out whether Mr. Assange encouraged or even helped the analyst, Pfc. Bradley Manning, to extract classified military and State Department files from a government computer system. If he did so, they believe they could charge him as a conspirator in the leak, not just as a passive recipient of the documents who then published them.” http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/16/world/16wiki.html?_r=1&hp added by: Radical_Centrist

New Advice for Nuclear Strike – Don’t Flee, Get Inside U.S. Rethinks Strategy for the Unthinkable By WILLIAM J. BROAD Suppose the unthinkable happened, and terrorists struck New York or another big city with an atom bomb. What should people there do? The government has a surprising new message: Do not flee. Get inside any stable building and don’t come out till officials say it’s safe. The advice is based on recent scientific analyses showing that a nuclear attack is much more survivable if you immediately shield yourself from the lethal radiation that follows a blast, a simple tactic seen as saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Even staying in a car, the studies show, would reduce casualties by more than 50 percent; hunkering down in a basement would be better by far. But a problem for the Obama administration is how to spread the word without seeming alarmist about a subject that few politicians care to consider, let alone discuss. So officials are proceeding gingerly in a campaign to educate the public. “We have to get past the mental block that says it’s too terrible to think about,” W. Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said in an interview. “We have to be ready to deal with it” and help people learn how to “best protect themselves.” Officials say they are moving aggressively to conduct drills, prepare communication guides and raise awareness among emergency planners of how to educate the public. Over the years, Washington has sought to prevent nuclear terrorism and limit its harm, mainly by governmental means. It has spent tens of billions of dollars on everything from intelligence and securing nuclear materials to equipping local authorities with radiation detectors. The new wave is citizen preparedness. For people who survive the initial blast, the main advice is to fight the impulse to run and instead seek shelter from lethal radioactivity. Even a few hours of protection, officials say, can greatly increase survival rates.
