Meat-Head Politics
Back in 1998, when actor/director Rob Reiner was pushing a ballot prop that taxed ciggie sales to fund pre-schools, I half-joked at the time that it would be better if he taxed, say, movie production instead. I thought it a tad holier-than-thou for a mutli-millionaire to slap a regressive tax on tobacco addicts -- a group that is disproportionately poor.
Turns out it's not so much of a joke. Some good reporting by the L.A. Times reveals that the passage of Reiner's Prop 10 created an unaccountable state agency that, under Reiner's purview, has been spending tens of millions of dollars not on pre-schools, but on political propaganda.
No doubt Reiner means well. And he certainly is not personally enriching himself with this scheme. But his bungling of this program evidences what sort of toxic cocktail you get when you mix self-righteousness with political naivete.

[...] Marc Cooper one of my favorite liberal bloggers praised them for it. [...]
February 24th, 2006 at 1:48 pm
Honestly Marc the LA times did a terrible job with this story. Hugh Hewitt is the one who pushed it. Bill Bradley did the research and nearly every paper in California exposed him before the LA times finally got on board.
This story would have never seen the light of day if it were up to the LA Times.
First the LA Times tried to play dumb then they tried to ignore the story.
read the transcript of Hugh’s interview with Morain and you tell me if he comes across as an agressive investigative reporter.
Please give credit where it is due.
February 24th, 2006 at 2:50 pm
Bradley does the work but it is Hewitt that is the mastermind? Pfftt. Pardon me and everyone else. Hail Caesar! Oh great swami of Orange County.

“For which signatures were being gathered while the state commission he chairs spent $23 million of public money on advertising for … universal preschool. Hmm, quite a coincidence that. Restive Republicans preparing for their state convention are starting to realize that perhaps they should be more focused on Reiner’s state job status than that of Schwarzenegger chief of staff Susan Kennedy.â€
DEAD FROM THE NECK UP!
More wasted tax dollars; if a corporation’s CFO managed their money the way our government manages our tax dollars they would have to declare bankruptcy or call themselves ENRON.
Yes, it’s utterly foolish to squander 23 million dollars on advertising a program dedicated to preschool activities—each dime should go directly to those programs.
By the way, is that multi-millionaire Schwarzenegger accepting a salary? You would think that “guys†like Schwarzenegger, Bush, Cheney, etc…would refuse their salary and benefits– they should prove their good intentions by rejecting those “working-class†tax dollars. Are those scammers interested in public service or self-service?
Another dubious government activity is the lottery scheme– I’ve always been suspicious of the lottery—how many billions of dollars are squandered by the public buying those crummy lottery tickets? How many social programs could be jump-started with those gambling dollars?
Has the purchase of lottery tickets added food, clothing, housing, utilities, education, and medical expenses to the economic well-being of people? There are a few lucky winners but there are so many more losers ?
And the most horrendous waste of tax dollars by far, is the billions spent on the FIASCO better known as the Iraq War.

“And he certainly is not personally enriching himself with this scheme.”
I think you’re being far too kind to Reiner here.
Most of us have to spend our own money to promote our agendas.
Every dollar of taxpayer money Reiner spends to promote his agenda is a dollar he doesn’t have to take out of his own pocket.
February 24th, 2006 at 6:05 pm
York you are so lame.
February 24th, 2006 at 7:52 pm
Everybody has an opinion. Some carry more weight. That isn’t one them.
February 24th, 2006 at 7:57 pm
John Kennedy was the only one who forfeited his salary. I doubt any Republican would. Nor would they not take the social security allotment. That’s the way greed works.
February 24th, 2006 at 8:38 pm
Marc Cooper wrote of Rob Reiner’s self-righteousness without mentioning Democrats or Republicans. I guess Mark A York’s response indicates that, in his mind, ‘self-righteous’ is synonymous with ‘Democrat’. Far be it from me to argue.
February 25th, 2006 at 7:04 am
This state’s politics are beyond redemption. What in the hell is a fool like Reiner doing directing expenditures of public monies instead of directing movies in the first place? Why not draw our public officials from the legions of sports heroes or rock stars? Oh, I forgot: our governor’s credentials are a little on the thin side as well.
Jesus. What a stupid swamp this place is.
February 25th, 2006 at 9:38 am
Then show me a Republican who did the same?
February 25th, 2006 at 2:36 pm
Hey Marc, isnt it time for some oscar awards analysis. I’ll be cheering full on for ang lee’s wonderful masterpiece myself

Re’:Politicians not taking their salary if they are wealthy(or rich).
Sen. Edward F.(Ted )Kennedy doesn’t take his salary.I don’t know of any others who don’t.Indeed I was unaware of the JFK information(source?)
It certainly is an interesting argument that one not take earned money because of a certain level of wealth.Could you please expand more on when efforts must be donated.(There has been some precedent for this.During WW II,there were dozens of “dollar a year men” donating their services.Unfortunately,I don’t know their political beliefs or whethr they ultimately drew on their social security.However,with the Dems mau-mauing social security reform,there won’t be much left for people like you and me to renounce.
February 25th, 2006 at 6:05 pm
I didn’t know about Teddy, and don’t remember the JFK source, but that was attributed to him through the years. Maybe it’s a family policy. I’d say look at the JFK library for the exact source. I won’t be giving up my SS. I’ll be lucky to snag $700 a month at this rate. Bush took a raise to give someting to juxtapose.

David Shipler, tells a striking story about a single mother he met while researching his book, The Working Poor. She had no savings and low earnings, so she had to live in a drafty wooden house. This exacerbated her son’s asthma. That led to two ambulance rides to the hospital. Those trips led to ambulance charges she couldn’t pay. Those charges damaged her credit report.
And so then she was denied a loan to buy a mobile home. That meant she had to stay in that drafty house—the house that contributed to her son’s asthma attacks. And she had to buy a car from a sleazy dealership that charged her 15 percent interest.
As one little boy David met told his mother, “Being poor is expensive.â€
That boy was right on.
The Brookings Institution recently released a fascinating study demonstrating how low-income families pay more for all sorts of things. They pay more for groceries and gasoline. They pay more for furniture and appliances. They pay higher prices for insurance and for utilities. And—something that has troubled me for a long time—they pay more for financial services, whether it’s cashing a check or getting a loan.
To quote the authors of the Brookings study:
“When low-income working families have to pay higher prices for everyday goods and services they have less money to invest in savings, education, homes and home improvements, their retirement, and their children. This holds these families back.â€
Multi-millionaire politicians should do the honorable thing and not accept a salary—but isn’t the words honorable and politician an oxymoron.
February 25th, 2006 at 7:44 pm
Eleanore, drafty houses are the norm for everyone in New England, especially north of where you are and I’m from. But ripping off everyone is the standard here, the poor are just at the bottom of this pyramid. I know, that’s where I am.
February 25th, 2006 at 7:47 pm
“they pay more for financial services, whether it’s cashing a check or getting a loan.”
Loans are one thing but checking accounts are free with a small amount and easy to get so I don’t buy this point. Check cashing ripoff stations are unnecessary, they exist for foreign help, most of which is illegal.
February 26th, 2006 at 12:55 am
“Eleanore, drafty houses are the norm for everyone in New England, especially north of where you are and I’m from.”–Mark York
That’s funny, because I am from Boston (South Boston at that), and I sure don’t remember it being “normal” in Southie for a person to live in the type of drafty house described by David Shipler and Eleanore that causes asthma in the people who live there.
Old, sure. Several days in a row of cornbeef and cabbage, most definitely. But third world style accomodations were not common. There was enough to survive safely. We Irish working class families took pride in what we had.
February 26th, 2006 at 1:37 am
“Loans are one thing but checking accounts are free with a small amount and easy to get so I don’t buy this point. Check cashing ripoff stations are unnecessary, they exist for foreign help, most of which is illegal.”
This sounds like something uttered by someone who has never been in an inner city in their entire life.
A checking account from Bank of America may be fine and dandy for someone who can jump into their SUV and drive a few blocks down to a BOA branch that can handle your account, cash your paycheck, handle your check transactions, utility bills, etc. Your Bank of America checks will be accepted in your local businesses and stores, so you don’t have to carry cash around with you all of the time.
A person in an inner city ghetto, however, who does not have the transportation to drive for three hours to the closest BOA branch to cash their paycheck (or any check) is at a distinct disadvantage. Cashing their paycheck (or any check) means going to a check cashing crook.
Furthermore, the supermarkets that they shop in will likely not accept checks that are not local. Again, this is another way that check cashing pawn centers can chisel the poor.
See link below for more information on what is rapidly becoming a multi-billion dollar industry.
Eleanore, your points were dead-on correct.
http://www.prospect.org/print-friendly/print/V6/20/jacobson-l.html
February 26th, 2006 at 1:43 am
As the link explains, inner city banks are becoming as extinct as the bald eagle through racist and geo-economic discrimination known as “redlining.” Banks have gone away, and high interest loan stores/pawn shops have taken their place.
See Mark, it is not so easy for just anyone to go out and “just get a free checking account.” The world doesn’t operate like Rebecca of Sunnybrooke Farm.
February 26th, 2006 at 2:20 am
“they [check cashing centers] exist for foreign help, most of which is illegal.â€
The only reason why they exist, eh? Try one of the more peripheral reasons.
Wow. The lack of research of you all on the immigrant hating, poor hating right wing is remarkable.
February 26th, 2006 at 10:02 am
Really. I live in LA. I’ve been to every part of the second biggest city in America and I can’t remember every not running into a bank on just about every block.
I made less than 20 grand last year and just put myself through college in middle age. Don’t talk to me about being poor you self-righteous twit. Drafty houses in rural Maine and New Hampshire where the Shipler example lived are common, and expensive too. But apparently they don’t have your Irish sense of pride, or money either. What false piety.
February 26th, 2006 at 10:06 am
If there are 19 banks you can bet they’ll take your money. They leave because of economic degredation and danger from crime in these communities. It feeds on itself.
February 26th, 2006 at 12:04 pm
“Really. I live in LA. I’ve been to every part of the second biggest city in America and I can’t remember every not running into a bank on just about every block.”
Well, then maybe I should take you on a guided tour one of these days so that you and I can see these banks on just about every block. You should show me these some time.
February 26th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
“Drafty houses in rural Maine and New Hampshire where the Shipler example lived are common, and expensive too.”
Mark York, here is what you said the first time:
“Eleanore, drafty houses are the norm for everyone in New England”
You can bully progressives all you want around here, but don’t try that crap on me. You said, “everyone in New England,” you stupid arse.
February 26th, 2006 at 12:16 pm
“If there are 19 banks you can bet they’ll take your money. They leave because of economic degredation and danger from crime in these communities. It feeds on itself.”
Where are there 19 banks?
“They leave because of economic degredation and danger from crime in these communities.”
Typical uncorroborated jingoistic fluff. You provide no sources for your claims; claims which fly in the face of every competent economist in the country. First your imaginary “welfare queens” were bleeding taxpayers dry because of their cadillac buying habits. Now, every citizen in economically depressed inner cities are to blame for their own problems because they like to commit crime.
Your stupidity is so profound that you are not even worth my time.
February 26th, 2006 at 12:23 pm
Quite a big drop from “everyone in New England”, to “rural Maine and New Hampshire.”
You know, I mean people, is there really any difference between ninety million people and a few scattered farms?….lol
February 26th, 2006 at 12:24 pm
Look in the yellow pages for south central LA. Inglewood, wherever. I never made any mention of cliched terms like “welfare queens,” but in your frozen radical mind these conservative talking point overgeneralizations are all you have to draw on. Go ahead imagine there are no drafty old houses in New England. I’ll guarantee mine is.

The radical extremes on both sides really are pathetic thinkers. It’s like left-woody right- woody and nothing in between.
February 26th, 2006 at 12:27 pm
LOL. Yeah screw the people in the countryside living in old drafty farms. What do they know? Besides the Shipler woman lived in Claremont, NH. Screw em, it’s far away from Boston where folks are rich.
February 26th, 2006 at 12:33 pm
Critically thinking would have told you there are no absolutist statements, but I guess living in a tight renconditioned house in the city has insulated your brain from this technique. Pity, amongst all those expensive private colleges.

Bite thy tongue, knave. Milord is the Wisest of the Wise. A “trained biologist”, no less, who is able to “see things from a different level” than mere mortals such as yourself. You wouldst do well to partake of the pearls of wisdom that he throws before you and other swine.
Milord’s critical thinking faculties are so advanced as to border on superhuman. Mensa? Oh, how they begged, BEGGED I TELL YOU, for him to join. But he wouldst not deign to sully himself by mixing with such common rabble and hoi polloi. Just imagine, the Wisest of the Wise socializing with mere ordinary, everyday geniuses.
Do not question milord’s wisdom. One of these days he will find the right ACME product and that diabolical Roadrunner shall be his.

“The radical extremes on both sides really are pathetic thinkers. It’s like left-woody right- woody and nothing in between.”
Your idealized world is one where there are but two choices: (1) Conservative presidents who enjoy blow jobs, and (2) Conservative presidents who abhor such tomfoolery.
The problem with “moderates” is that they profess such a love for mankind, but hate common people. You have certainly made that clear.
February 26th, 2006 at 7:30 pm
Well I’m apologizing to Marc Cooper for replying to these radical nutballs but I’m not going be spit on by the likes this bunch for anyone. I sir, am a common person.
Apparently that has escaped your keen radar. The problem with zealots who hold tightly to firm political beliefs and religious dogmas is their zeal to attack others is always based in their own doubt of those beliefs.
February 26th, 2006 at 9:59 pm
You sir are not a common person you are a nittering twit.
The funny thing is I think both York and Al would call themselves progressives, and have prolly attended the same moonbat rallies.
February 26th, 2006 at 10:06 pm
wait I forgot to mention York was also a Biologist, Journalist, Historian, Eagle Scout, nonfiction writer author, a naturalist, environmentalist, a union member, a construction worker, and a wise and witty pundit. Did he say he was a farmer as well?
February 26th, 2006 at 11:05 pm
“The funny thing is I think both York and Al would call themselves progressives, and have prolly attended the same moonbat rallies.”
I am not progressive. Not left, not right….just up front.
And sorry, don’t confuse me with someone who blames inner city families for their own predicament. That is more up your odious alley, along with the Republicans and Bill Clinton.
February 26th, 2006 at 11:14 pm
“their zeal to attack others is always based in their own doubt of those beliefs”–Mark York
As I recall, this whole thing started when you attacked Eleanor for pointing out the indisputable facts that poor people get shafted in the areas of banking, insurance, medical coverage, etc.
This recent study was by the bloody BROOKINGS INSTITUTE. I find it more than a little remarkable that someone who calls himself a liberal would attack the Brookings Institute as being too exotic.
That is your whole schtick: Attack, attack, attack. You and Woody and the Ugly American and Liberty Dad are of the same political ilk.
February 26th, 2006 at 11:52 pm
O’Malley — it’s not racist. It’s just damn good sense. You are seeing the crime tax.
Yeah services are non-existent in South Central. Why? Because the Crips and the Bloods run the place. Same dynamic explains why grocery stores don’t serve much of minority areas. It’s the violence run by criminal gangs that makes operations unprofitable for security costs (gross margin in supermarkets is 4%). Crime that is out of control makes security way over that margin. Most of this crime is organized by the gangs.
Direct your complaints to them.
The greatest boon to poor people is to destroy the crime problem and make poor areas safe. Crime and corruption is the main reason most of Latin America is dirt poor. You see the same thing in poor areas in the US.
As far as Meathead goes, sigh. In a rational legislature we would not see this empire-building by way of initiative. Unfortunately term limits have made the legislature WORSE.
February 27th, 2006 at 12:25 am
The classic chicken vs. the egg dilemna.
In the ending years of the Roman Empire, once thriving cities which had now been looted by gangs of marauders left the once civilized men in abject poverty. Having to compete with one another over food and resources, the people reacted in the only way they knew how to survive: to steal from one another, violently.
It may just be me, Jim Rockford, but I have never noticed a lot of crime happening in areas where there is investment and infrastructure. Have a heart and give people a chance, Jim.
February 27th, 2006 at 12:34 am
After all, why do you think that there is higher crime in poor areas to begin with? Because people like you have not given them a chance. The Iraqi people are treated better by you Republicans than our own poor children and women in our country (And how do the majority of Iraqi people treat America in response? By spitting in our eye and telling us to go back home. And now, your president wants yet ANOTHER 60 billion dollars to take out of America).
If we started investing those hundreds of billions of dollars here in America, Jim Rockford, I guarantee you’d see the day when it would be safe to walk down any street in America by yourself at any time of the day, and feel right at home. But taking care of our own, I guess, it too easy.
February 27th, 2006 at 10:11 am
I just pointed out there are banks in depressed areas of LA and O’Malley here said there weren’t. I proved that false on its face. It’s a lie. Now they still use these check kiting operations for reasons I don’t comprehend.
Same with the “drafty house” straw man. It’s another cheap appeal to emotion. I don’t doubt the Brookings study but I found a hole in it right off. Being poor was never easy and it still isn’t. I know that firsthand. Just try changing careers over fifty and you’ll see what I mean.
As for the personal insults UA is his own worst enemy. If he doubts my qualifications at least I can say I never clerked in a store. Reminds me of ta Seinfeld episode where the girlfriend says she doesn’t respect his work. “You’re a waitress,” Seinfeld responds.
Appeal to inappropriate authority: UA in Riverside the man who lost his dream.
February 27th, 2006 at 3:52 pm
“I just pointed out there are banks in depressed areas of LA and O’Malley here said there weren’t.”
Wrong. I never said that there were zero banks in depressed areas of LA. I said that there were very few. The American Prospect link that I provided discussed the problem of a lack of banks in inner cities. The source itself is not necessary if one takes a stroll down there to actually check for themselves.
Seriously, York, and I don’t ask this to be mean – but is your head up your ass? Seriously, I am just wondering here. You need to provide a post of mine where I said that there were “absolutely no banks in depressed areas.” PROVIDE PROOF THAT IS SAID THIS, JACKASS.
“I proved that false on its face.”
Like hell you did. There are sources out the ying yang on the redlining done by banks in the inner cities, and I have provided a good source. You have not provided any source for your claims that there are “there are 19 banks you can bet they’ll take your money” in each neighborhood.
It is really FUCKING sad that Jim Rockford – a conservative – is at least aware of the problem, and acknowledges the problem. You are just like a Rush Limbaugh asshole, refusing to admit that there is even a problem of a lack of financial institutions in inner cities!
“I don’t doubt the Brookings study but I found a hole in it right off.”
You haven’t found jack shit. The only hole that exists here is in your brain!

YOU SAID “a bank on just about every block.” This is a lot different from just saying that there were just some. YOU ARE A LIAR, MARK YORK, just like your hero Bill Clinton.
February 27th, 2006 at 5:39 pm
You said they can’t just “hop in their SUV and go to bank of america.” They can. They can walks and take the bus. There are banks on just about every block here. Now if you take that absolutely literally and call someone on it, you have to be a moron. Irrelevant conclusion. “Where are the 19 banks?” In Compton. The defense rests.
February 28th, 2006 at 8:54 am
The fact that most of these responses say nothing about Reiner and what he did or didn’t do says a lot: it’s a vague story answered by vauge denials. Make no mistake, if Reiner is using taxpaper money to push his agenda I want him to go to jail, weather he was making money of it or not. It he was doing this somehow without braking the law, I want the law changed and he should be totally discredited.
But one has learned to be carefull about such things where Marc Cooper is conserned. He now wants us to lay off Bush; but his amusment of the public abuse of The Clintons personal life knew no limits. He was writing how HILARIOUS it was that Gary Condit was sucking up all the media attention the entire summer before 9-11; in that it was a great way to get a few last kicks in at Clinton.
So, if it turns out this story is a red haring, don’t expect to see anything else about it on this blog. And don’t give it any weight because it’s in the L.A. Weekly; a phoonier bunch of wine and cheese liberals than Cooper ever jeered at.

Pet peeve of mine: the shortening of ‘probably’ to ‘prolly’. It’s like having a 4-year-old suddenly inject himself into the conversation with cutesy baby-talk, but bearing gray hair and wrinkles. Something I’ve noticed often in Tom Grey’s screeds, as well. Is it some kind of new (and hopefully short-lived) libertarian trend? Ayn Rand-speak? A market-driven tick? Freudian regression?

There are 19 banks and they will take anyone’s money. The idea they won’t is false on its face. This data is real. Race and class? I’m white, poor and over 50. Tell me about it kid. Probably the daughter of rich diamond mine owners.

You forgot to mention that you’re also the author of what a reviewer described as the worst book he has read in his entire life, and a peddler of right wing rockford style “blame the poor for their condition crap” mr ignoramus
March 3rd, 2006 at 8:48 pm
“a reviewer” says the daughter of the diamond mine owner. See this is an appeal to an inappropriate authority. He didn’t read the book, thus produced no evidence I’ve written badly. What it does do is slime my reputation, and that can cause ecomomic damage. In short it’s an ad hominem attack by an internet troll just like you. Yawn….

I don’t blame my group for anything. They rise or fall on their own individually. The so-called reviewer for the last time is not a reviewer. He didn’t even read the book. Judging from your spelling and punctuation, not to mention muddled thinking, you are illiterate. What a vile wench.
March 4th, 2006 at 6:06 pm
The book looks is probably an unmitigated disaster. Far be it from me to diss the reviewer, who seems judicious, and besides it probably took considereable fortitude to actually read that banal screed. judging from book sales and the number of commets left on your website you need all the readers you can get.

Of course if we knew who you were we could dissect yuor qualifications and records, but alas it’s too shameful to reveal. You’ve revealed quite enough. I’ll let that stand. You drew first blood with yuour personal attacks. You earned the disdain. Trust fund bitch.

“fuck yourself”, “bitch”, and “slut” hmm what was it the reviewer wrote that “you dont play well with others. couldnt have said it better myself. You’re like a cartoon character now, this is even beyond self parody. hmmm on an advicne tip it must be awfully embarassing havinh a commets section on your blog which regularly reads zero. maybe you should just dump comments altogether, thus saving you some face unless youre waiting for your old pen pal slick willy to write. in that case youll be waiting for some time

I authorize $35,000 per year to be withdrawn from my account for incarceration expenses. I will NOT pay for your strategic requirement of institutionalization. This is something YOU require for YOUR role player’s positioning and YOU should have to pay for it.
I wonder if their fear of my inarceration is borne from their refusal to address black disfavor on a macro level. The Counsel/Management Team/ruling species (the gods) abuse black people so hard, from the crack epiemic to gang membership, black-on-black violence and mass incarceration of their young. They refuse to address the issue of the prison industrial complex and its wholesale warehousing of young black men. Perhaps I can force them with my incarceration.
You are sick because you have disfavor. You need to imporove your relationship with the gods. Know your place, your inferiority and bow down mentally and physically.
Temptation takes many forms::: today the gods know how bad people want to please them, how bad they want to ascend and they will ask them to do evil things to tempt them, mislead them and cost them their chance.
Bow down and submit to good. Good woudl never ask you to circumcise your son or ignore behavioral disturbances.
You are the only one your children have and they are counting on you to do the right thing.
The gods will punish your evil by making you sick. Consider it a clue.
