we should not do it willy-nilly.i am with commissioner liu that we may be overburdening an already complex process by trying to imagine all the other possibilities when there is no population to reflect that. >> i have a question. the last time this even came up, which i guess was with supervisor chu, although it did not come to a hearing, and it was an actual criminal misconduct, and prior to that, mizzola was the only previous case. >> i believe there was one in 1932. >> i guess what i was trying to say earlier, in terms of the fairness issue -- you have this description, or this definition, of official misconduct on the books or in the charter. but the fact is, it is not used very often. it is used subjectively, or even arbitrarily, dare i say. it is not a matter of law that because somebody in elected office misbehaves in some way that they would automatically be charged with official misconduct and then go through some kind of process, be it something before the ethics committee, or even criminal. it is criminal

all the willy nilly imprisoned they gave up gave themselves up to the time of the value of the. earth to the world. in the most virtues of the. book even if they were kept as prisoners anyway it wasn't obvious due to differences between luxembourg. german soldiers of. the soldiers they were trying to displayed their specific situation hope could you expect it to by the end of the war yes russian officer of the russian officials could make the difference between these poor luxembourg be in cope with it by falls into the german army and those who are german soldiers by conviction they would the job and sos by conviction to prove is that many many of them. to two d. to do with me but my. feeling is if i put in a motion. by visit to tumble of by you know the way to this monument rebuilding the sufferance of these last generation of young. to. my my country are. born in fifty four just before you. a couple of this he said. you are looking live fifty five. we are young we were never victims of the injustice. to the pier with the story which was an old hour period but the period of tho

so this is not a piece of legislation that we brought willy nilly and off the fly to the board.over the past several years we have been working with our neighborhoods to really enforce the 72-hour rule and currently vehicles can't stay in a parking spot for more than 72 hours, but as many of you know that has been a very ineffective tool. by the time someone notices that a car is parked more than 72-hours and it takes a period of time before the mta or dpt and when they finally go out there the 72-hour clock begins of so it's been a very ineffective way to regulate. so we're looking for a way to create a more flexible tool for the mta to manage parking in a better way. this legislation is aimed at oversized vehicles and to that end we did want to indicate we did meet with many people about this issue. we met with the homeless coalition and i understand that they are not supportive of the legislation and that letter has been provided to the committee as well. however, we did want to help to ameliorate some of the issues that came up. we did meet with some folks from hope, bevan d

. >> then you will conform willy-nilly to that stereotype, if you're supposed to be fragile at the age 80. >> yes. >> then you become fragile. >> exactly. >> if you think, however, that your's going to be living to the age 100, then you shatter the stereotype and you don't conform to it, and you're healthier? >> you are. >> you actually affect your health? >> you affect your health by your attitude. donald palmer has the oldest thing in the world that we are as a result of what we think. >> this is all the brain? >> of course. >> all a result of cognition. >> cognition, that's right. cognition is just a $10 word for thinking and all the aspects of thinking. >> can i use $10 words on this? >> yes. >> now, you know that nih, national institutes for health or of health. >> national institutes of metal. >> they -- of health. >> they just had within summary past couple of weeks they had a big meeting and they talked about how your mental state actually affects your physical health, correct? >> yes. >> were you there? >> i wasn't at that one, no. i was out of town, in europe. >> do you know

(laughter) he can't just be meeting every world leader willy-nilly!

-- a check we write every year willy-nilly. >> it is not about the strategic objective, but it is how you do this. cash flow financing in egypt for military assistance, this is one of the things he talked to our senior commanders in the military 20 partners. it's tied up in defense contractors. this sounds like a tactical implementation, but it is essential. we will not be tied in the sleek to these ways of dispersing aid, where we can not use it as a tool. i do not think there is much dispute about the broader strategic objective. the bigger threats is in our political and policy debate. voices his sake, let's hold back sending ambassadors, let's hold back certain types of assistance without strategizing with administration. if there is a president romney, i hope we have a much more functional policy debate. >> i do not think ran paul speaks for many in the republican party. i certainly hope he does not. no matter how you characterize our policy, that there is a sense, a perception of the abandonment by the united states. you hear this not just of money the liberals, you hear this am

. >> not willy nilly. we had real intel on the terrorists. >> we released a bunch of them later. >> the drones kill selected targets and then kill everybody around them, colmes. all right. so come on. >> forbe the most part they kill selective targets. >> no, that's not true. look, they drop them on a house where there is a guy inside and everybody in the house goes. just like the bin laden raid. everybody in the house goes. the women went and bin laden went. so let's not do that. >> also the bigger point is that no matter what kind of threat you're facing, you always have to fight while you still have the advantage because the second the enemy gets the advantage or leverage -- >> all in all, you say the war on terror really hasn't been worth fighting the way they did it. you say it has. i'm the tie breaker and i agree with monica. >> of course. >> thank you. >> in a moment, laura ingraham says if republicans can't defeat president obama, the party ought to be dissolved. sarah palin will comment on that. l

. >> dana: cut them willy-nilly, there is no other -- >> bob: they want to cut back on direct aid tonot what he said. he talked about mitt romney and taxes. he wasn't talking about mitt romney and spending. he talked about romney and taxes. that is a shot. >> bob: listen, romney went out and attacked the president on the chicago strike. right? >> dana: if that is an attack he is in big trouble. >> andrea: he should, so this is why this is dangerous because this is going to spill over and put other unions at odds with democratic mayors. this is not becoming the democrats and the republican issue. this is becoming more and more people are waking up to this, more and more democratic mayors waking up saying i can't do my job until we cut. >> greg: the serpent eating the tail. rahm should have blamed it on chick-fil-a. >> bob: romney said the president should stand up and say put kids first, and he did. teachers unions goes behind. je to help the kids, help the parents, help the teachers. now there is a classic, you talk about the straddling the fence. >> eric: got to go. >> dana: can i s

. >> they keep signing willie nillie they talk about backing away from seek questionsstration becausee cuts. you and i know these are cuts off the growth of spending nothing is being taxed in principal. >> it is scary. >> they really are doing political double talk. continuing with failed philosophies of economics, kensian economics is a failure at this point. if you don't believe me look at how many trillions we have invested in the economy we see it was not stimulated. we have seen this little move here but we have a jobs report that came out and was very negative in the last two weeks. i think people out across america are really personally in this report you and i were opening the segment with, it says people are personally saying we are going to be in control of our money. i think they are going to tasta demanding that of both parties going forward. they are going to be wiser with the spending out of dc. >> you know what i worry about when i get a report like this consumers are getting nervous it might be to convey a message. but it could also be they are conveying their own conc

saying, hey listen, you got to make sure that we regulate this thing so that he doesn't get it willy-nillye street. anybody that i've talked to under the age 21 says its easier to get pot than alcohol. it's amazing. colorado, washington and oregon all have ballots to legalize marijuana. not medical marijuana, overall marijuana. in colorado it's polling better than president obama. 47% saying yes. 38% saying no. it looks like it will be a victory. we'll see how that turns out in a couple of months. do you know it would if they wound up legalizing marijuana and regulating it? that's a huge help to their budget. the cost to the war on drugs in the united states is $51 billion a year! what a giant waste of money. then one more set of facts for you guys. the number of people we incarcerate for drugs is insane. back in the 1970s we used to have 300,000 people in prison. now in 2010 we have 2.3 million people in president. one in three black men in the u.s. will be incarcerated between ages 18 and 30. half of all u.s. drug arrests are for marijuana--half! and more than 850,000 americans were arre

bottom line, the government isn't oblivious to the willy-nilly and embrace of engineering, high frequency traders that hurt you. the government recognizes while progress can be good not all innovation breeds progress. some gets you slaughtered. it is that the branch of government wise to the problems, chicago fed, it isn't the one that matters. let's go to david in arkansas. david? >> caller: thank you for doing what you do for us. >> i appreciate that. thank you. >> caller: i have learned a lot from you in the last six years. i have a two-part question. which has the most upside, sirius logic or apple? and why? and what's the likelihood of apple splitting? >> cirrus logic has been an i amazing stock. i have been going over the few things i thought was doing wrong. i stayed on the apple bus. apple is still cheap. do i think apple will split? absolutely not nor do i think they care about that. juan in california. >> caller: hi, jim. my question is regarding time warner cable selling off their 7.2 shares of clearwater what what effect it will have on sprint. >> okay. they divorced themselve

i am not suggesting it is willy- nilly.m saying there is a much more strategic form of liberal -- >> we have to leave it there. you can get a copy of today's show on democracynow.org. glen ford and michael eric dyson. we continue our tour tonight in asheville, north carolina. democracy now! is looking for feedback from people who appreciate the closed captioning. e-mail your comments to oueaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaea

it's a willy nilly move in the stocks, a lot of stocks go up, that is a shame, that's what i call collateral damage to a policy that i think will get us out of this rut. cat in florida, kat. >> caller: hi, jim, you think the presidential election this year might affect the movement in the stock market. >> well, i care far more about who wins congress. it's not going to be able to do anything. but if congress goes all democrat, then you're going to want to be able to -- you're going to trim back the dividend stocks because you will have to pay higher taxes on dividends. tom in california? >> caller: boo-yah, jim. thanks for your help. my issue is several stocks i have followed have suddenly taken a 3% dive and i read later that day that the company is making a public offering. >> right. >> caller: over the next several weeks, the stocks have frequently rebounded. any question is, is this a pattern you think we can count on and try to exploit? >> yes, this is a pattern that is going to happen. and i'll tell you why. there are still a lot of companies that want to expand and they've got a lot o

always presumed that meant for life because they were reacting to kings in england who would often willy-nilly remove judges from the bench. actually, i can read a section, if i may, about that particular meeting. >> please do. >> that i think might be, um, re la story about how that went, as you can imagine. by the way, this is my bookmark. you'll have to forgive me. [laughter] it's an ostrich feather. so i've explained to you the difference between the actual language and how we've interpreted it. i don't bother lecturing justice scalia on any of this. after decades of legal study and 25 years of service a as one of american's top judges, he's been fully breed. instead, i begin my cross-examination. how about you, i ask. how about me what, he counters. can you imagine just walking away, i ask. of course i can, he somewhat scoffs, with a tone that implies he'd just as soon leave today if only he hadn't signed a two-year leems on his -- lease on his supreme court locker. when, i ask. like i said before, when i'm not doing the job as well as i used to, it'll be time to go. how will you know whe

they take that mandate seriously, which is why they've been very relaxed yet to give out willy-nillyermits to be using drugs in the united states because they've done something most americans don't know, which is that drones crashed a lot. they crash all the time. the air force has admitted a third of their drones crashed. there is a huge event as global hawks just crash last month and it crashed in the swamp and didn't kill anybody, but could've very well killed people in the crash. and so the essay i have given not just a couple hundred permits. now unfortunately they haven't wanted to let the american public know who has these permits. it was thanks to lawsuits and the freedom of information act request that we are starting to get information that there are about 300 that there are about 300 that there are about 300 a drill agencies like homeland hundred a drill agencies like homeland security, fbi, border patrol is using drugs on the southern and northern border. they've been giving out to companies that make the drones. permits have been issued to some universities that are work

so he catches willy-nilly order something and have it done quickly. he's definitely in control and depth of the most powerful person in the country. he told me early on in his reign he promote the fact he ordered at that time a thousand decrees that only four were implemented because of the bureaucratic inertia and the government and the fact that things just don't get it done very quickly in syria. so he has to work around these things, particularly in a situation like this. this is a security solution to this uprising from the very beginning he has to work with military security forces and its powerful factions within that who have swayed his position on various items. but he still is the focal point and ultimately is responsible for everything that's happened. >> host: but about his brother and brother-in-law? >> guest: yes, i thought of someone very powerful right now. in any warlike situation, the institutions of our elevate in terms of power and influence. just as in the united states, the pentagon gave more influence in the state department and

but do you think this return of cash scene, rather than just go spend willy-nilly is something that hasome deep rooted in the company's consciousness. the buybacks certainly haven't worked. cisco fought back and had been doing much more dividend friendly situations. mcdonald's, there was an inline dividend boost, just like we have better-than-expected earnings, we now have a better than expected dividend. there's an expected boost in which people aren't going crazy with mcdonald's. >> we're on a broad based rally yet again and the strength of this market overall. >> and the nay sayers. >> you've got the s&p 500 up another .5% roughly speaking. oracle is up almost 3%. across the board, the financials are up again. there is a lot of power behind this market. that can always change and change rather quickly. we know volumes aren't particularly strong. when retail gets in, oftentimes it can go the other way. >> and here is an interesting pai pair. kors up 6%. >> almost like they're in different industries. >> kors is taking shares from someone, interestingly. >> $22.50. >> another 52-week h

and to at least be sure that there is a recognition that this isn't a check we write every year willie nillyto you rightly say the go toward bhom the pendulum swung this time. because that's exactly what we have done. >> on egypt because we're in violent agreement in terms of the strategic objective there. it's not about the strategic objective. it's how you actually do this. and cash flow financing in expwript for military assistance, this is one of the things that you talk our senior commander in the military who need patter ins in dealing with threats like we see in sinai and israel needs the partners. it is less complicated for them to use cash flow finance system the system where the money comes a year in advance. it gets tie up in defense contractors. it's essential to revise that system to say okay we're going use the leverage. we're not going to be tied endlessly to these ways of dispersing aid. we can't actually use it as a tool to produce change. i don't think there's much dispute about the broader strategic objective. i don't have it. the bigger threat going back earlier in the po

you do not want the willy-nilly extension of risk. but by the same token, if you don't have risk, you don't have return. risk-return, trade off. it is the investment frontier. if you do away with risk, you do away with return and you do away with jobs creation. day tech risk with your money. they took risks in many cases with their own money. sometimes those risks turned out not to be well-founded and there was money that was lost. in order to keep the system together, the government came back and backstops the economy. that is kind of what governments are supposed to do. in the case of this morning, it was announced the treasury is selling off another big chunk of their a.i.g. stock. from what i understand, they are not selling it off at a loss. the fact that the government backstop the auto industries and backstop the banks. -- the government didn't lose a penny on at the tarp loan to the banks. collectively, they made money on the acquisition of the warrants that were eventually sold off. it was taxpayer money at risk, but it was a
