Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 66 (64 kbps .mp3 9:46 4.5 Mb)

A daily roundup of things that seemed important.

We have the heart of a child. In a jar, in our closet.



IT’S POOR MOJO’S NEWS SHOW! FOR FRIDAY, MARCH NINTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN.



A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT .



IT'S POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO'S BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOJO! HERE'S MOJO'S BIRTHDAY EPISTLE TO THE WORLD:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_8

I share this birthday with such illuminaries as "actor" Freddie Prinz, jr, and martial artist and general late-night-cable asskicker Cynthia Rothrock, and Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, jr. Looking at that list how can you possibly deny the truth and power of horoscopes, eh? or, even better, can you imagine a time-travelling superteam made up of those three and me? We'd be just like the A-Team. Freddie Prinz would be the FaceMan, charming the ladies and going undercover. Cynthia "Blonde Fury' Rothrock would be the bruiser and muscle and weapons expert. Holmes would naturally be the thinker and strategist. And that would leave me the "Howling Mad" role, which I would firmly embrace. I'd be the wild card, the pilot, the unpredictable one who would tease Cynthia Rothrock and lure her onto the plane, even though she was afraid of flying.

It's also the anniversary of the Russian revolution. And it's International Woman's Day. So I'll be celebrating my birthday today with over half the world's population, which all told isn't such a bad thing.

ONE STEP CLOSER TO A SHADOWRUN FUTURE... So we're skipping the whole army idea entirely here and just going straight to hiring mercenaries to fight for us.

NAIROBI, Kenya - The State Department has hired a major military contractor to help equip and provide logistical support to international peacekeepers in Somalia, giving the United States a significant role in the critical mission without assigning combat forces, according to wire services.

DynCorp International, which also has U.S. contracts in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq, will be paid $10 million to help PROVIDE the first peacekeeping mission in Somalia in more than 10 years.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM TWENTY-SOMETHINGS TODAY HAVE WITH MOM AND DAD IS THAT THEY'RE NOT DROPPING DEAD FAST ENOUGH. Employee dissatisfaction is at an all-time high, according to a national survey released Monday by the Conference Board, a New York-based private research group.

In a survey of 5,000 U.S. households, more than half of all respondents said they dislike their current jobs, compared to less than 40 percent in a similar survey conducted 20 years ago.

These days, the lowest levels of job satisfaction are among younger workers, the survey found. Only 39 percent of respondents aged 25 and younger said they liked their current jobs -- the lowest level in the survey's 20-year history -- compared to 45 percent for workers between 45 and 54. A FREQUENTLY CITED REASON FOR DISSATISFACTION -- LACK OF OPPORTUNITY FOR PROMOTION.

AIR AMERICA'S RANDI RHODES POINTED US THIS AFTERNOON AT A MOST REMARKABLE STORY, BEST TOLD AT SCOOP DOT CO DOT N-Z... IT'S ABOUT THESE U-S ATTORNEYS. SEEMS THAT A NUMBER OF THESE PUBLIC SERVANTS -- USUALLY ALLOWED TO OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE -- HAVE GOTTEN FORCED OUT OF WORK RECENTLY UNDER PROVISION OF THE PATRIOT ACT -- AND REPLACED WITH CRONIES. GREG PALAST -- WHO IS SUCH A GOOD POLITICAL INVESTIGATIVE REPORT THAT HE HAS TO WORK FOR THE B-B-C, NO ONE HERE WILL TOUCH HIM -- LEARNED THAT ONE Honest US Attorney WAS fired to make way for Karl Rove's allegedly criminal friend. WHY A CRIMINAL?

Timothy Griffin, Karl Rove's assistant, the President's pick as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, according to BBC Television, was the hidden hand behind a scheme to wipe out the voting rights of 70,000 citizens prior to the 2004 election.

Key voters on Griffin's hit list: Black soldiers and homeless men and women. Nice guy, eh? Naughty or nice, however, is not the issue. Targeting voters where race is a factor is a felony crime under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

In October 2004, GREG PALLAST'S investigations team at BBC Newsnight received a series of astonishing emails from Mr. Griffin, then Research Director for the Republican National Committee. He didn't mean to send them to THE INVETIGATIVE REPORER. They were highly confidential memos meant only for RNC honchos.

However, Griffin made a wee mistake. Instead of sending the emails -- potential evidence of a crime -- to email addresses ending with the domain name "@GeorgeWBush.com" he sent them to "@GeorgeWBush.ORG." A website run by prankster John Wooden who owns "GeorgeWBush.org." When Wooden got the treasure trove of Rove-ian ravings, he sent them to GREG PALAST. BUSTED!

IN A LATE BREAKING DEVELOPMENT, THINK PROGRESS DOT ORG SAYS Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other senators met with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales this afternoon. SCHUMER SAID:

“While we didn’t get any better explanation for these unprecedented firings, two important developments came from this meeting. First, the Attorney General told us the Administration would not oppose our legislation requiring Senate confirmation for all U.S. Attorneys. AND EACH OF THE FIVE FIRED U-S ATTORNEYS, ACCORDING TO THE STORY, WILL BE ABLE TO SPEAK UNDER OATH AT CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS SOON.
