And Quit Telling Girls to Dream. http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/05/22/barbie_dreamhouse_experience_occupy_the_berlin_exhibit_and_stop_telling.html Where do you even start with Barbie? Few toys inspire such feminist gnashing of teeth as the 11 ½-inch plastic doll, with her blindingly white skin, impossible figure, and fathomless wardrobe. And now her Dreamhouse tourist attraction has descended, like the hut from the Baba Yaga story, on Berlin, where it’s been greeted by topless protestors waving burning crosses and men ironically dressed in pink skirts and blond wigs. “Occupy Barbie’s Dreamhouse,” they cry, condemning the doll for promoting consumerism, narcissism and unhealthy body ideals. Their placards—and torsos—are scrawled with slogans like “Pin…http://www.twitpic.com/cshqag

Despite serving multiple tours of duty, the wounded soldiers lose their medical care and other benefits for life. We’re joined by Colorado Springs Gazette reporter Dave Philipps, whose three-part series, “Other than Honorable,” tells the stories of several discharged veterans suffering severe health issues from injuries sustained in combat. “The Army’s difficulty in dealing with this is…http://www.twitpic.com/cshrze
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Would the Real Left Wing Parties Please Stand Up? http://alliance.org.nz/2013/05/18/would-the-real-left-wing-parties-please-stand-up/#more-2131 The Alliance Party is amused and, quite frankly, confused, to hear John Key repeatedly refer to a possible Labour/Greens coalition as a “far left” government in the media these days. Key bases his assessment on their new power policy which would see a government provider buying all the power from generators. However Key should ponder the fact that the state owned all aspects of power generation and the distribution of electricity right up until 1999. And no one ever described the Holyoake and Muldoon led National governments of this era as “far left” because electricity was state owned. Not that being a “left wing”…http://www.twitpic.com/cshv52

Our societies have become addicted to extreme risk in finding new energy, new financial instruments and more … and too often, we're left to clean up a mess afterward. Klein's question: What's the backup plan? In her latest work, Naomi Klein wonders: What makes our culture so prone to the reckless high-stakes gamble, and why are women so frequently called upon to clean up the mess?http://www.twitpic.com/cshw6n

The emails were primarily sent to and from unidentified employees of the Federal Protective Service, the agency that handles security for federal properties.
