Morning Briefing
For June 3, 2014
Why Are You So Angry?I have been in rural Louisiana the last few days spending time with family. This is the first time my children have been old enough to see and experience life where I grew up in the United States. Maybe one day they can go to Dubai, but it will be far different. Jackson, LA, in rural East Feliciana Parish, changes little.
My parents now live in my grandparents’ home. The roads are still crumbling in the area, though the major roads are much improved. There is still poverty, but signs of commerce that were not around when I was growing up. As much as I get a bit sad sometimes, the area is still home. Every side road has a story. Most of the creeks too.
I stepped away from the internet for a while. Hopping on I see sniping and fights between allies and friends. On twitter, I see conservatives enraged over this prisoner swap and more. There is a lot of anger and that is just the conservatives. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

All the major media are leading with the story line of Bergdahl as a potential deserter rather than a freed prisoner. Adding to the suspicion that the desertion story is the truth is an administration official saying that releasing Bergdahl would bring political benefits . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
RGA Slams Hawaii’s State Obamacare Exchange, Neil Abercrombie
The state Obamacare exchange for not working, and the governor for contributing to the general lack of function. For those who missed the original story: Hawaii, like many other Democratic controlled states*, produced its own state exchange. And, like many other Democratic-controlled states, the exchange has crashed, burned, exploded, sunk below the waves, and then exploded again. Just in time, I might add, for the 2014 election cycle, which amusingly enough is a midterm – which means that most of the governors’ races are taking place this November. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Will the last person leaving Seattle please turn off the lights?
Seattle’s city council (led by socialist Alternative City Councilmember Kshama Sawant, union bosses and Democratic Mayor Ed Murray) just preliminarily voted to increase the minimum wage (in phases) to the highest minimum wage in the world. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
