Some hippy at MSNBC: ‘Bombs KILL people, I don’t think that’s a humanitarian act.’ Read more: therightscoop.com Middle East “expert” Phyllis Bennis must have hit an acid flashback during an MSNBC panel on Obama’s Iraq attack because she whined incoherently that bombing ISIS won’t work because “bombs NEVER work,” and, “bombs KILL people, I don’t think that’s a humanitarian act.” Then off-camera, she probably hit the bong pretty hard.

The big hole in California’s job growth Posted on Friday, August 8 at 8:41am \| By Andrew S Ross California is going great guns jobs-wise, right? Recession’s over, we’re back to normal. Except for those in the middle. While low wage jobs are increasingly plentiful (though the pay is isn’t any better) and the high-wage sector is booming, middle-wage workers, approximately on-third of the state’s workforce, are losing out big time. “People talk about it like an hourglass,” a vice president of the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, tells the Los Angeles Times. “There are fewer opportunities for people in the middle.” And, like low-paid workers, their median wage is shrinking, down 7.2% since 2003, and continuing on a downward path. “For now, that means the lesser-paid employees aren’t a priority for many businesses, even those that are expanding as the recovery matures,” says the L.A. Times. But there’s also a that “bifurcation.” As in so many economic respects, folks up in the Bay Area are doing far better than those further south.
