Michael Moore Channel - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081230/ap_on_re_as/as_afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan The number of roadside bombs and kidnappings doubled in Afghanistan in 2008 from the year previous, the U.S. ambassador said Tuesday, grim statistics that underscore the country's deteriorating security situation. The number of roadside bombs rose from roughly 1,000 in 2007 to 2,000 in 2008, while the number of kidnappings jumped from about 150 to 300, said Ambassador William Wood. Compiling accurate data for roadside bombs and kidnappings is difficult, he said, and the numbers were approximate.

Michael Moore Channel - Muntadhar al-Zeidi's brother Uday alleged Friday that the shoe-throwing reporter's isolation indicates he was abused. "Until now, neither an attorney nor anyone from his family has seen him and this is clear evidence that Muntadhar was under intense torture," he said at a demonstration by about 20 family members just outside the Green Zone. "The investigation process is now under way in mysterious circumstances."

Just days after the disgruntled reporter made international headlines after throwing his shoes at President Bush at a press conference in Iraq, another shoe attack nearly unraveled at a MTA board meeting in Midtown Wednesday. This time around it involved Metropolitan Transit Authority CEO Elliot Saunders and subway rider Stephen Millies. At the meeting, where the MTA approved a 2009 budget that ultimately would raise bus and subway fares in New York, Millies lashed out at the board saying the budget should be tossed in the garbage can. After calling the MTA "a collection agency for the biggest banks and insurance companies," the fervent subway rider surveyed the crowded room and asked "And more thing, where is Elliot Saunders?" Millies then reached for his shoe attempting to throw it. Buying extra shoes at http://www.michaelmoore.com Author: mmflint Keywords: shoes mta bush iraq Al-Zaidi Added: December 18, 2008

Michael Moore Channel - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/12/AR2008121203592.html?hpid=topnews United Auto Workers President Ronald A. Gettelfinger lashed out against Senate Republicans a day after a congressional compromise on an auto industry bailout failed, accusing the lawmakers of trying to "pierce the heart of organized labor." Gettelfinger, at a news conference yesterday in Detroit, welcomed a statement from the White House that said the administration was willing to use funds targeted for bailing out the financial system to help the autoworkers. But he repeated his insistence that bankruptcy isn't an option, saying failure at any one automaker would force firms across the industry to collapse. The Republican Senate proposal sought to cut UAW wages, bringing them in line -- or at "parity" -- with what workers earn at foreign-owned, non-unionized plants in the United States. A failure in Congress to reach an agreement on the wage-cut proposal Thursday night doomed the $14 billion industry rescue package.

Michael Moore Channel - While Judge Manuel Banales forbade Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra from presenting the case to the Grand Jury again, Guerra thinks he may not have to: "This is a grand jury. They think for themselves. I won't be surprised if they get together and indict them again." -- Juan Guerra Guerra said he could also get an outside attorney to present the case to the Grand Jury.

Michael Moore Channel - http://washingtonindependent.com/20854/an-eviction-in-manassas This is supposed to be the season for a break in home foreclosures, a pause in evictions over the holidays. But it's not working out that way for everyone. And certainly not for Julio Angulo of suburban Virginia, another victim of a foreclosure machine that seems to be almost unstoppable. To great fanfare, mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced last month they would temporarily halt foreclosures and evictions from Thanksgiving to Jan. 9. One analyst called the move "a giant timeout" to help people stay in their homes while they try to get their loans modified. The decision also avoids the spectacle of two government-controlled finance companies throwing families out on the street at Christmas time.

Michael Moore Channel - "The problem is that the cars that Detroit has been building are not really vehicles that are appropriate for the 21st century. We have a finite amount of oil under the earth, and we have a huge global warming problem that's caused in part by these automobiles. So we have to be rethinking this. We have to be building different kinds of cars for the 21st century and we have to go to mass transportation." -- Michael Moore on Larry King Live, Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 Rethinking it all every day at http://www.michaelmoore.com Author: mmflint Keywords: michael moore larry king oil global warming mass transit barack obama big auto bailout detroit makers ford gm chrysler Added: December 4, 2008

Michael Moore Channel - "my uncle was in the sit down strike that helped to found this union. If it wasn't for the autoworkers, we wouldn't have a middle class. Because of what the autoworkers did from the 1930s on, this country was able to grow into having the strongest economy on the planet. "And I'm sick and tired of hearing autoworkers blamed for this. The autoworkers union has given back and given back and given back for the last two decades. I just, I hate to see them give back another dime of what they need in order to be part of the middle class. "If you're saying that the way to solve this problem is to eliminate the middle class, what kind of country do we have? What kind of country do you all want to live in if we keep this up where we allow the rich to keep getting richer and everybody else scrambling for crumbs?" -- Michael Moore on Larry King Live, Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 Sitting down daily at http://www.michaelmoore.com/ Author: mmflint Keywords: michael moore larry king live united autoworkers union uaw middle class bailout detroit big Added: December 4, 2008

It ignored remarkably prescient warnings that foretold the financial meltdown, according to an Associated Press review of regulatory documents. "Expect fallout, expect foreclosures, expect horror stories," California mortgage lender Paris Welch wrote to U.S. regulators in January 2006, about one year before the housing implosion cost her a job. Bowing to aggressive lobbying — along with assurances from banks that the troubled mortgages were OK — regulators delayed action for nearly one year. By the time new rules were released late in 2006, the toughest of the proposed provisions were gone and the meltdown was under way.
