dynamic here there's actually a couple of dueling bets that are going on in wisconsin right now it's really interesting first of all how all of this has been pushed off the pages by what's going on in japan in wisconsin it's still happening in lansing michigan and still happening in india in the in india indiana still happen in columbus ohio and still have people are still showing up just not hearing about it media but the dueling bets are the democratic bet is that there's going to be outrage and that that outrage is going to last the republicans better is that people have short memories that by the two thousand and twelve elections which are a year and a half away people will have forgotten about all this it will be a quaint distant memory and by then they can you know their big corporate sponsors and whatnot can run enough big ads and expensive ads that they can they can win the elections that they can maybe get back to god to gays and guns and stop talking about things like economics and unions and all as sort of thing and the other bet that the republicans are making is that the

i hope he's wrong i have a hard time betting against karl rove though he's usually you disagree with these thing or learned here we better damn well get out and vote in the next election twenty percent fewer voters in wisconsin in two thousand and ten than in two thousand but you've got all the cross the country you've got in states where people do you know try to make it harder and harder for people on top of that just about everybody ought to get out that's the best but i think really any over the last few weeks thousands of people around the country have protested corporations dodging taxes as part of the make wall street a and us uncut movements or so we've been watching mainstream you. as you wouldn't know that because the networks aren't covering instead of covering the n.p.r. controversy as in the show a complete bias in the media that they choose to focus on right wing talking points about one crazy and now fired it in p.r. rather than real problems like corporations avoiding paying billions and axes while we're in the middle of the fiscal cliff this is usa on top they're out

a fairly good bet of some thunderstorms i am bet -- imbedded as well. could have some more thunder late tonight into early sunday morning. the rainfall forecast models we do put it into motion at 9:00 this evening. some lighter colors here but some heavy rain downpours. early tomorrow morning at 2:00 you can see the passage of the system for sunday morning still some lingering rain showers. this forecast model scales back on the coverage and the probability by late tomorrow afternoon. that's all reflected in the forecast tomorrow at 7:00. 45-50 degrees. showers likely. at 12:00 50-53 some scattered showers. temperatures mainly in the mid to upper 50s. here is a look ahead at the main event scheduled for late tonight between 2:00 and 10:00 tomorrow. we say hello to spring. showers likely into monday. tuesday there is the chance of a sprinkle. but that could be the best for outdoor activities because we could be talking about some more rain for wednesday and also thursday. but tonight a fairly big deal out there with the wind and the rain. >> yes. saturat

i have many bets that the bond will cost over $1 billion. of all of those bets are in doughnuts. -- a lot of those beds are in doughnuts. the first one is the obvious library which is certain comment always mentions every tuesday. in my district, gospel, predicting that the comptroller cannot diet the facts regarding what is going on at laguna honda hospital. one of the candidates mentioned there was too many candidates for this commission. please solve what is going on at san francisco general. every dollar wasted their should have been spent for the needy and poor people in san francisco. >> public comment is closed on this item. >> i would like to say to vote, thank you for your applications. i am impressed with your service. from the margin for my point of view, serving in a board and so forth. mr. liederman has been contacted my office and has a strong desire to serve. there are not many people with your background that servants to the government. for that reason, i will be supporting him with the caveat that both of these applicants we

are the democratic bet is that there's going to be outrage and that that outrage is going to last the republicans beppe is that people have short memories that by the two thousand and twelve elections which are a year and a half away people will have forgotten about all this it will be a quaint distant memory and by then they can you know their big corporate sponsors and whatnot can run enough big ads and expensive ads that they can they can win the elections that they can maybe get back to god's gays and guns and stop talking about things like economics and unions and all that sort of thing and the other thread that the republicans are making is that they can knock enough democrats off the rolls that they can win this is what paul weyrich a republican strategist had to say about three decades ago or two and a half decades ago he was the guy who masterminded the reagan campaign here's what he said. how many of our. what i call them brought good government they want everybody. i don't want everybody to vote elections are not won a door to the people they never help and from the beginni

a storm moving in on friday, packing heavy rains, strong winds and probably initiate a fairly good bet of thunderstorms. these the next significant weather event. as far as this afternoon, we still have lingering clouds out there. once again, the chance of a few sprinkles that would be favoring the north bay. this forecast model is scaling back on some of the cloud cover here but at least partly cloudy skies if not a few multi-cloudy observations, tomorrow watch out for dense fog and showers. that will be favoring sonoma county and also parts of marin county as well. it's only a chance. for this afternoon, a sun/cloud mix, 57 to 62. 53 to 58 with partly cloudy skies. 47 to 52 degrees. temperatures this afternoon gonna warm up probably about 3 to 6 degrees from some of our current levels. sanjose 63. here is a look ahead with the five-day forecast. for thursday, a light shower and get ready for more rain over the weekend, very unsettled with the possibility of thunderstorms and we could have snow in the bay area hills. we are a kind winding up winter as we head into the weekend but it w

i mean, the mossad, and shin bet, and m6, and the cia are known and judged by their effectiveness, not whether they keep their promises or keep their word. there was a very important hearing in israel some years ago where the shin bet basically said, "we have a licence to lie", and the court said, "no you don't. you certainly don't have a licence to commit perjury in front of the courts". and we know that intelligence agencies live by deceit. in fact, the best ones are the most deceitful, and have to violence less than the other more primitive ones, which just use violence. so i think i'm realistically describing how intelligence agencies operate. of course, in this book, the lawyer as well, the abe character, has to stretch the limits of ethics because his own daughter's life's at stake, and he has to win a case on behalf of a client who wants to die. his client is a suicide defendant. having tried to be a suicide bomber, he's a suicide defendant, and the idea of a lawyer needing to win a case on behalf of a client who wants to lose the case presents an interesting legal and political

against them, betting on their failure, i would have said, "no, we do not do that in the united states," but, it turns out, we do. tavis: we had the chair of the financial in greek crisis commission. two things stand out -- the chair of the financial inquiry crisis. this thing was avoidable, number one, and number two that the government was not prepared, as you just mentioned, to handle it when it came. what do you make of this? all of this, if we are to believe the commission and believe your documentary, all of this was avoidable? >> well, it is horrible, of course. america went through 40 years without any financial crisis when regulation was much tighter, and banking was not quite so exciting. you know, banking has got an exciting in a very dangerous way, and we have to return to a much more regulated financial sector. i hope that the american people will become upset enough and angry enough and informed enough and activist enough to do something about this. tavis: you mentioned president bush in your indictment of what went wrong. this is not a republican problem. there is blame
