Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor: Did Ed Kent Get It Right?

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

This editor/writer was interested, sort of, about the turnout and the karma for this Beck rally in D.C. today. Sort of, as in sometimes the editor watches the Super Bowl and sometimes the World Series and the NBA* finals on occasion. And, of course, how the news media would give it play and review, was of interest, probably more than watching the main event (which, because of the Internet, could be reviewed easily).

An Ed Kent Blog:

The Nobel Prize was obviously awarded to Obama because he was viewed as the key figure working for world peace. The  United States has been a military cop violating ethical and legal human rights standards for the past eight years. He made it clear during his campaign and in what he has been tying to accomplish since entering office that he is a peacemaker. This does not mean that he can control events – stop other nations resisting peace.

Edited for style.

Ed Kent: The Real Unemployment Rate

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Kent is a retired Brooklyn College philosophy professor who writes for a number of yahoo groups (which I believe he started). The following is from his OurStupidEconomy@yahoogroups.com:

I mentioned in a recent blog the contrast between other nations that report the real numbers out of work and our reporting only those who have been searching for jobs recently. This discrepancy completely distorts any comparison in the progress of national economies.
