The Learning Center, once a viable institution in New Orleans as a part of the New Orleans Public Library, like much of New Orleans no longer exists, it was washed away by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. The Learning Center in Exile has become one of a documentation of my and others' rites of passage toward personal progress like getting a decent job at middle age or finishing school. It is also a place for political and societal rantings. All of this is to keep you reading here.

Tammy Bruce Calls The Obamas "Trash In The White House"
I'd pay to see her say it to Michelle's face. I know lot's of folks that would pay too. Mrs. O without a touch would wipe the floor with her. What makes people hate so much? I did notice that she did not attack the President directly. She's not that crazy.

The Short, Happy Iraq War of Howard Kurtz
Look it really was a simple thing that grew both large and in the wrong direction...capturing or killing Osama bin Laden. What we now have a mess thanks to our lying ex-President and I for one want us up and out of Afghanistan too since it at this point merely wants to left alone in the 16th century.
More important is the containment through diplomacy and whatever shred of credibility we have left in the world of Pakistan that has what seems to be a plethora of blood feuds going, nuclear warheads, and hosting Osama bin Laden. We need to do something much different than asking them to "bring it on" as did Mr. Bush.
Mr. Kurtz has been on the wrong side of several issues on the war he was very wrong.

Lifting the Tarp: Will President Obama's Economic Team Lead Him Off a Cliff?
It is time to fire the Treasury Secretary and Larry Summers. Do what Kuttner and Krugman have been suggesting all along and get us out of this stinking financial mess.
Enough with hedge funds, insurance companies, and investment banks. They are greedy bottomless pits unwilling to change or adapt to reality. Seize the shaky banks restructure them, set them on their feet, privatize them and move forward.
This spiral has gone on long enough! Mr. President, buck up and fire those guys now.

The Real Scandal of AIG
They can have their bonuses or retention payments provided they give us back immediately every penny we have loaned them. I am not against AIG bonuses as long as they use their own money. Other than that as the owners of this behemoth we have the right to fire them and hire people who will follow our dictates because that is what happens when you own the thing...YOU are in charge!
Please start sending a few of these clowns to jail and I think we will see a whole lot less of this defiance.

Why hasn't someone gone to jail yet?

South Carolina Governor: Obama Stimulus Will Turn U.S. Into Zimbabwe
My thinking exactly. My home state Louisiana, is headed by its own fruitcake that plans to continue keeping the state moored into the 19th century. Wage suppression, hostility towards unions, very poor race relations (if folks told the truth) and serious ecological concerns with its large petro-chemical industry that fights regulations to the tooth. You have Louisiana, a banana republic that has great natural resources, a hard working populace, and loads of potential if only it had the right leadership and moved past its past. It is really a shame that almost the same thing can be said of each of the southern states that are resisting moving forward with the rest of the nation.
