Recent columns in The Tentacle by Kevin Dayhoff


April 21, 2010
Judge Bell, a Witness to History
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Recently, on April 9, Robert M. Bell, chief judge of the Maryland Court of Appeals, was the featured speaker at the Carroll County National Association for The Advancement of Colored People Branch 7014 Freedom Fund Banquet.

April 16, 2010
Gwen Ifill: The Dreams
Kevin E. Dayhoff
These days, the only people who seem to care about race are the political hard right, left-wingers, and the media-elite who are pounding that narrative in order to appear relevant or desperately wanting to impugn critics of President Barack Obama.

April 15, 2010
Gwen Ifill: The Scars
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Last week a noted Public Broadcasting host spoke at Gettysburg College for about 25 minutes from prepared remarks and then took 16 questions from the audience for another half-an-hour on everything from her thoughts on the “Tea Party” movement, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, to the national debt.

April 14, 2010
Gwen Ifill: The Difficulties
Kevin E. Dayhoff
In the pursuit of gaining more insights into the caustic vagaries and vituperative whims of all things divided and bitter that is Washington these days, I attended a presentation recently by a distinguished Public Broadcasting Service journalist and left the building with more questions than answers.

April 7, 2010
Plan B solution to unemployment
Kevin E. Dayhoff
The rate of unemployment continues to harry the local and national economy as the nation continues to try to figure-out an exit strategy to an entrenched recession. Last Friday the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the national jobless rate held steady at 9.7 percent.

At the Edge of the Cliff
Kevin E. Dayhoff
At the dawn of this New Year, many expected much more in the way of fireworks from the current 427th session of the Maryland General Assembly. It is an election year and the state is entering another fiscal year of huge budget deficits.

March 10, 2010
The Problem with “Antique Furniture”…
Kevin E. Dayhoff

March 3, 2010
Horton Hatches the Egg
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Yesterday was the 107th birthday of Theodor Geisel from Springfield, MA. I say with a smile, my little crocodile, you may know him better as an early trendsetter, as the good Dr. Seuss, you may deduce, because I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. To you I’m so faithful one-hundred percent.

February 24, 2010
Sarasota Snowbird
Kevin E. Dayhoff

Hating over Haiti
Kevin E. Dayhoff
In a moment that could warm all but the coldest of hearts last Saturday, in the midst of all the despair that is now Haiti, Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton set aside their political differences for a joint appeal to raise money for that earthquake-ravaged country.

January 13, 2010
Spontaneous Incompetence
Kevin E. Dayhoff
In an incident, almost totally ignored by the dominant United States major news media, comes word that an American hero, the renown Army Green Beret-turned-Iraq/Afghanistan war correspondent, Michael Yon, was “arrested” January 5 as he entered the country for failing to disclose his income.

January 6, 2010
The Problem with Underwear
Kevin E. Dayhoff

Wargotz: I believe competition and flexibility will reduce healthcare costs


Wargotz
"I believe competition and flexibility will reduce healthcare costs, increase participation and improve quality, not penalties enforced by the IRS."

New Wargotz for U.S. Senate Website
I would like to invite you to visit my new website and support my campaign to replace Barbara Mikulski and become Maryland's newest U.S. Senator. It is clear that more and more citizens of Maryland want their Senate seat back. A majority of Marylanders are now realizing that, after more than 30 years in Congress, Barbara Mikulski does not represent the best interests of Maryland.

Like you, I want the private sector to create jobs, not the government; I want health care reform, not a government takeover; I want a cleaner Chesapeake Bay, not 30 years of lip service; I want strong national security, not taxpayer funded defense attorneys for captured terrorists. Together we can bring about real change in Washington.

On my new website you can get news updates, information about upcoming events, view our latest campaign videos and photos, learn about the most important issues in this campaign, leave me a comment, and support my campaign though a contribution or by volunteering. You can also follow the campaign on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedInfor the most up to date information and news.

It doesn’t matter what this sign says, you’ll call it racism anyway.


It doesn’t matter what this sign says, you’ll call it racism anyway.

After hearing about signs such as this at Tea Party gatherings, I finally gathered this picture from the Internet on April 14, 2010.  It is a sad commentary on the current state of free speech in our country.

New York Times Economix: Layoff Anxiety Persists

 New York Times Economix: Layoff Anxiety Persists and Why Women Find Their Parents Unpleasant
April 23, 2010, 6:02 pm

Layoff Anxiety Persists

By CATHERINE RAMPELL
Even though the job market appears to be turning around, more than one in five American workers still thinks the axe may be coming for them in the next year.
DESCRIPTION

Featured Economix Posts

  • Why Women Find Their Parents Unpleasant
    Contrary to gender stereotypes of feminine domestic bliss, women are much more likely to report being in an “unpleasant state” when spending time with their parents and children.

  • Breaking Up the Banks 
    An economist argues that a new bill that would limit the size of banks may be the most promising way to overhaul the financial system.

  • But Aren’t Home Prices Still Falling? 
    Bloggers argue against buying in Las Vegas or Phoenix today.

  • Don’t Fear the Invisible Tax 
    Despite the criticism of the value-added taxes, government spending is no lower in countries with more visible taxes.

  • A Tale of Many Cities 
    An economist looks at why an unlikely mathematical formula seems to predict population patterns — and affirms the value of proximity.

  • Value-Added Taxes: A Primer 
    In recent weeks there has been lots of buzz about value-added taxes. This post offers a short primer to explain this policy tool.

  • Want a Higher G.P.A.? Go to a Private College 
    A 50-year rise in grade-point averages is being fueled by private institutions, a recent study finds.

  • Debating the ‘Tax Burden’ 
    An exchange over taxes with a former White House spokesman.

  • Auditing the I.R.S. 
    If you struggled with some of the complicated new changes in your tax return this year, you’re not alone. The Internal Revenue Service had its problems, too, a new Treasury Department report finds.

  • The Next Global Problem: Portugal 
    Like Greece, Portugal has spent far beyond its means, lacks exchange-rate flexibility as a remedy, and seems likely to be a new burden on Europe, two economists write.

RUSH LIMBAUGH FIRES BACK
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Rush Limbaugh goes after Presidents Clinton and Obama and, though not by name, TIME's Joe Klein who labeled Limbaugh -- and other conservative talkers -- seditious. Let me just say it. The Obama/Clinton/media left are comfortable with the unrest in our society today. It allows them to blame and demonize their opponents (doctors, insurance companies, Wall Street, talk radio, Fox News) in order to portray their regime as the...

SHOULD THIS BE CNN'S SLOGAN?: "THE NEWS: WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT"
TIME's James Poniewozik jumps in with his own prescription for what ailes (sorry, ails) CNN. The TV critic at CNN's corporate cousin says CNN should stay away from the "vanilla midpoint between Fox and MSNBC" and from slogan's that don't fit. The problem is priorities. "No bias. No bull" is a slogan that doesn't make sense: if you're truly dedicated to "no bull," then "no bias" is implicit — though you will end up taking...

ZURAWIK: KEITH OLBERMANN IS MORE MCCARTHY THAN MURROW
The Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik let this week's Deutsch dump sink in for a day or two before writing about it. So here goes: ...here I come to write once again about what a reckless TV figure Keith Olbermann is -- and how irresponsible MSNBC and NBC News management are for giving him a national platform and the network's credibility to spread his innuendo, invective and smears.

For the fourth week in a row, ABC's "Nightline" was the #2 show in late night in both Total Viewers. The show also came in second in two key younger demos. "Nightline" finished behind "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" -- which has regained a hold on the #1 spot -- and ahead of "Late Show with David Letterman" which was in re-runs last week.

When the segment was over, so was Donny's career on MSNBC though the ax didn't drop until the next day.

Washington Post: News Alert: Goldman Sachs readies forceful response


News Alert: Goldman Sachs readies forceful response
09:35 PM EDT Friday, April 23, 2010
--------------------

Goldman Sachs is preparing its most detailed defense yet to allegations that it misled clients in its mortgage securities business, arguing that it was unsure whether housing prices would rise or fall and did not take any action at odds with the interests of its clients.

An internal Goldman document, prepared for senior executives and obtained by The Washington Post, addresses the criticism that the bank invested its own money betting against the housing market while simultaneously urging clients to invest in securities that would increase in value only if the housing market did.
