Things Tween Gurls Know That You Don’t
In the “Things Tween Gurls Know That You Don’t” category chalk up the tidbit that a disproportionate number, perhaps most, of the pop hits by female “artists” such as Avril Lavigne, Kate Perry, Pink and Kelly Clarkson were written by Martin “Max Martin” Sandberg of Sweden and Lukasz Sebastian “Dr Luke” Gottwald, an American who is the son of a Polish immigrant.
A common theme of the music is “strong”, “independent” womanhood through promiscuity and exhibitionism.
In the “Things You Know That Tween Girls Don’t” category chalk up the tidbit that the music is pretty bad and, well, rather manipulative.

Cass Sunstein Internet Dream Comes True?
Cass Sunstein, the Obama confident who once headed the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, has gotten his wish according to Glenn Greenwald writing at The Intercept at FirstLook.org.
Sunstein –who defended Bill Clinton against impeachment and George W. Bush for the Military Commissions Act of 2006 before working for Obama, and who believes the First Amendment should be rewritten — notoriously proposed in 2008 having government agents infiltrate online groups and political websites to direct public opinion.
Greenwald, the journalist to whom whistleblower Eric Snowden leaked documents showing that policies were secretly changed to allow government spying on U.S. citizens, notes that the documents show that Sunstein’s plan has been implemented — and in a way that follows rather sophisticated psychological principles with the goal of discrediting people and destroying reputations.
Like, well, Snowden’s. And Greenwald’s.
Who exactly can one trust one wonders.
In a quasi-related matter, a fellow who was using the Twitter handle @GSElevator and tweeting alleged juicy first-hand tidbit involving Goldman Sachs was found to be a resident of Texas with nothing to do with the New York-based investment banking house and cradle of treasury secretaries and corrupt New Jersey governors.
The funny thing is that a whole lot of people in the New York financial community who are assumed to be super savvy and smart, believed him.
Just some things to mull around.

Frightened Union Bosses Sic Minions
An AFP Pennsylvania event concerning paycheck protection in Warminister a few days ago was disrupted by flying monkeys sent by union leaders. Speakers were shouted down and filthy language was directed at those interested in what was to be said.
Police were called to escort the AFP people from the building. Jennifers Stefano, the speaker, found two tires slashed on her car.
Paycheck protection means union dues are forbidden from being automatically deducted from paychecks. In other words, if the union bosses want to keep their sweet salaries they have to convince their members to donate voluntarily, which means they have actually work for the issues that will help them.
Mrs. Stefano, a mom, says remaining townhalls are being rescheduled to address security concerns.
Below is a snippet of video taken at the Warminister event.

Caller Explains Welfare
With the Labor Force Participation Rate at an all time low, and Food Stamps, Welfare, and Unemployment growing this caller explains welfare with seamless logic in this Off the Internet.
Somebody should read to her Aesop’s tale of the The Ant and The Grasshopper, and explain how it very much applies today.
Maybe the call is a prank set up by the disk jockeys. Maybe there is hope.
Hat tip Fran Coppock
