From NBC's Domenico MontanaroCA Rep. Pete Stark endorsed Obama. Stark said, in part, "Obama has captured the imagination of Americans in a way we’ve not seen for decades. He’s inspired millions of young people to register to vote and join the ranks of our Democratic Party, he’s consistently opposed the war, he advocates universal health care, and he delivers a message that transcends party politics at the same time.

I spent the first half of this week stricken with an ill case of jetlag after returning from two weeks' vacation in Europe (tough life, I know). As a result, I had a chance to get reacquainted with the early-morning TV lineup. My favorite new discovery by far has to be MTV's FNMTV — an hours-long block in which, somehow, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz has convinced the network's higher-ups to play actual music videos. Seriously! What's more, they're showing some truly cool stuff that you'd never see anywhere else. I mean, the new No Age video (below) is in heavy rotation. How many people even knew who No Age were before this?! The more mainstream vids FNMTV has been featuring aren't bad, either — I'm especially digging the Stark clip for T.I.'s excellent "No Matter What."So I'm kinda shocked to discover how many bloggers have been hating on this show since it premiered while I was gone. The most common kvetch seems to be about how it superimposes user-submitted talking-head commentary on the clips. Suit yourself, I guess, but I don't mind that at all. MTV did the same thing constantly on turn-of-the-millenium TRL, which I consider the absolute holy grail of music on television. Okay, maybe FNMTV isn't quite "DVR-proof," but am I missing something here? Or are you loving what Wentz has wrought, too? ... Source: www.articledashboard.com --- 112 days ago

One of the conferences we're supporting this year is Defrag . The topics that Defrag explores are very close to our hearts - OpenSocial, Attention, Next-Level Discovery , The Implicit Web , and more . One of this year's Defrag sessions that caught my attention is entitled: Fixing Foundational Information Channels -- Email, Calendars, RSS, etc . On the Defrag blog, my eyes could cope with the Stark white text on pitch black background just long enough to read this description : "...this session starts with the premise that something is broken in our foundations. Email imagines every message as a letter (a discrete object vs. a thread or networked send). Calendars are silo'd islands of non-interoperability that hearken back to days of paper and the rolodex. And RSS, new as it is, is still delivering us "object-oriented" feeds, and not contextually-driven usefulness." Defrag has snagged some interesting folks that "you don't normally hear from": Ilya from AideRSS, Yori from Timebridge, Deva from ClearContext, and Pete from Mailana. The moderator will be Jeff Nolan. This sounds like a fascinating session. I still struggle with email overload, even despite my love of Gmail. Calendars are a mix of paper and web for me, which is an indication that I'm not fully satisfied with existing web calendars. And the point about RSS delivering us "object-oriented" feeds is a very good one - and an issue that we at ReadWriteWeb are intensely aware ...

Ted Kennedy returned to the Senate today to vote for the Medicare legislation, saying he did not want to take the chance that the loss of his vote would make a difference, as it had last month when the Senate fell one vote short on cloture. "Today, however, senators - including several Republicans - took Kennedy's lead and voted to invoke cloture by a veto-proof 69-30. The Senate then passed the bill by unanimous consent. It now goes to President Bush for his signature." And Nicole Belle says God loves Pete Stark , who said, "Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) puts out a statement ripping McCain: "Senator Kennedy managed to make it back from treatment for cancer, but Senator McCain couldn't be bothered. Senator McCain, who wants to be our next President, has skipped this vote three times now. Clearly, he'd rather hide than face up to the insurance industry. You can do that when you're in the U.S. Senate, maybe voters should leave him there." But then the Senate turned around and voted to ignore the 4th Amendment . read more ...

Usually we like to stay high-minded here on the blog. We don't usually resort to out-right name calling but here is a case where we just can't help it. Once again Representative Fortney Hillman "Pete" Stark (D - CA) is a stupid little man whose knee-jerk reactions are based on no knowledge whatsoever. There really is no other way around it Petey boy is just plain stupid. Why do I say that? Well, it isn't just my assessment because he proved it for us a few weeks ago. You see, on the 16th, Petey was on the floor of the House of Representatives as they were debating and voting on the war supplemental spending bill. As he was staring off into space, probably drooling a bit, good ol' Petey noticed some "Army officers" sitting in the gallery observing the deliberations. Well, this made Petey mad. He thought that these officers were just lollygagging about Congress when there was a war being fought out there. Petey, you see, imagined that these "flag rank Army officers" were shirking their duty. So, he sprinted back to his office to have one of his mindless little aides write a complaint letter to the Secretary of Defense. May 16, 2008 The Honorable Robert Gates Secretary of Defense 1000 Defense Pentagon Washington, DC 20301 Dear Secretary Gates: Yesterday, while voting on the war supplemental spending bill in the House of Representatives, I couldn’t help but notice a contingent of approximately 20 flag rank Army officers sitting in the Hous ...

Rather than work on a bipartisan basis to develop a Medicare package that balances the needs of beneficiaries, providers, and taxpayers, Senate Republicans have chosen to protect the health insurance industry. It is the height of absurdity — and penny-wise and pound-foolish — to suggest that modest assistance to low-income seniors will make a substantial [...] ...

A report on the state of the Medicare prescription drug benefit is a mixture of good news and bad news, but Sen. Sherrod Brown and the other Democratic lawmakers who requested the Government Accountability Office study definitely seem to prefer stressing the negatives. The report by the GAO, Congress' investigative arm, found that "almost three years after the...(Medicare) drug program went into effect, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) still faces significant and continuing problems resolving complaints and grievances filed by seniors and the disabled," led off the release by Brown and five House Democrats who requested the study. The five House members are: Reps. Henry A. Waxman of California, John Dingell of Michigan, Charles Rangel of New York, Pete Stark of California, and Frank Pallone of New Jersey. Based on this report, the Bush administration cant tell whether private drug plans are serving seniors or shortchanging them, Brown said in the release. These for-profit plans hold all the cards when it comes to seniors access to needed medicines. Oversight shouldnt be an option, it should be a given." Many Democrats' argue that the 2003 law shouldn't have given so much of the program over to private health plans. The actual report does offer up some positives, too. While there are some ongoing problems, the number of complaints about the Medicare prescription benefit filed by seniors with the government has d ... Source: ace.mu.nu --- 99 days ago

In a body known for intemperate remarks and fabricated figures, Congressman Pete Stark of California put in a worthy nominee for top honors in 2008 recently when he said: … the unfunded cost of the McCain-Bush tax cuts is more than $100 trillion. So if you weren’t giving away all of this money to the rich people and all of the Republicans who inherited money from their parents and never had a real job in their lives, maybe we could solve it. It would just take a third of the Bush-McCain tax cuts to solve the unfunded liability for the next 75 years for Medicare. - CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, HOUSE PAGE H7122 July 24, 2008 Oh the many gems compliments of the California gentleman. First, we have the idea of an “unfunded cost” of a tax cut. This may be a residual slip from previous attempts to prevent an AMT-based tax hike by raising taxes, which only makes sense in certain Washington circles. Only an increase in spending can be unfunded. Tax cuts unfund government. Then there’s the idea that by letting citizens keep more of their own money, government is “giving away all this money”, implying that the money really belongs to the government in the first place. We used to call that Communism, but we don’t do that in polite circles anymore. Whether rich or poor, it’s their money first Congressman. Perhaps the most pernicious of all is his notion that by raising taxes on the rich we can solve the problem with Medicare for the next 75 years. ...

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce's progress on legislation to promote electronic exchange of health information is likely to slow as the House Ways and Means Committee is set to consider a different approach to spur the widespread adoption of heath information technology (HIT). The Energy and Commerce Committee earlier this week approved a bill (H.R. 6357) that would, along with providing patient privacy and security protections and requiring federal government leadership on HIT, attempt to spur adoption of HIT by authorizing modest grants and loans to states, hospitals, and physicians to purchase HIT systems. At a hearing yesterday, House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee Chairman Pete Stark (D-CA) suggested that legislation tying Medicare payments to the adoption of HIT systems might be the best approach to promote widespread electronic health information exchange between providers. The Chairman's bill, set to include this approach along with privacy and security protections for patients and other HIT provisions, is likely to be introduced as early as next week. Because of the shared jurisdiction over the Medicare program, the two committees will have to reconcile the differences between their bills before any HIT legislation can be considered by the full House. Despite the different approaches by the two committees, Congressional Budget Office Director Peter Orszag, a witness at the Ways and ... Source: blogs.heraldtimesonline.com --- 6 days ago

And here we thought we were going to go into the weekend quietly. The saga of Drew Peterson took another tumble further into Crazy Land today. Bolingbrook's Most Notorious Ex-Husband™ finally crossed paths with "friend" Len Wawczak for the first time since that whole "wire" thing went down earlier this week and the confrontation descended into fisticuffs in a strip mall parking lot this afternoon . It all started when D-Pete allegedly spent a haircut shooting dirty looks at Wawczak's 20-year old son, who was in the same barbershop. That, coupled with the following revelation, was all it took for Wawczak to hulk out on D-Pete: Wawczak had also just learned that Peterson reportedly told a reporter that he and Wawczak's wife, Paula Stark, had sex. Daaaaaaaaaaamn! At least eight squad cars responded and both Wawczak and D-Pete were taken into custody . ...
By Robert Cruickshank Wouldn't that make an excellent headline? Instead the SacBee offers Schwarzenegger criticizes lawmakers for not reaching budget deal - Arnold kicks it in his smoking tent, or idly speculating about a post in the Obama administration on national TV while the Legislature remains divided on the budget. Here are the damning paragraphs from the article: “Schwarzenegger ramped up criticism of lawmakers this week, but he so far has refrained from using harsh tactics such as visiting lawmakers' districts and cajoling them, as he did during a late budget in 2004. “The Republican governor has been meeting with leaders individually, though he said he "didn't really want to interfere with their process." The parties remain divided over whether the state should use tax increases to bridge the gap, as majority Democrats have proposed.” In other words, Arnold is reluctant to himself exercise the leadership that he claims is lacking in the Legislature. His statements on specific proposals have been vague to the point of uselessness: “The governor attacked tax proposals in previous years, but he did not do so Wednesday. "I think this is their way of looking at it, and I'm sure they have their reasons," he said of Democratic tax proposals. "And I think this is what makes the world go around. People have different ideas for how to solve a problem." The contrast with previous governors is Stark. In 1991-92 Pete Wilson proposed ...
