Sam Seder: The Food Bubble

If you think that regulation of Wall Street banks operating in the stock market is lacking then you probably haven't seen what's happening in the commodities market. While just as volatile as the stock market, the commodities market rarely makes the headlines and there are fewer rules and regulations governing it. Goldman Sachs was well aware of these facts when they decided to hedge their bets on wheat prices, causing a surge in the price that left under-developed countries around the world without food. Sam Seder talks about how Goldman pulled off this feat with Frederick Kaufman, author of the article "The Food Bubble," featured in this month's Harper's magazine.

Moderate Republicans: An Endangered Species

When the first few Tea Parties started popping up across the country they were nothing more than a fringe offshoot of the GOP. Unfortunately, Republican leaders decided to join forces with this fringe, pushing their party as far to the right as possible and casting out any Republican politician who refused to pander to the Party's fringe. As a result we're left with a Republican Party that is so out of touch with society that they are doing serious harm to our country. Mike Papantonio discusses the GOP's continuing crusade to purge the Party of its remaining moderate voices with John Nichols, Washington Correspondent for The Nation Magazine.

Papantonio: Tax Cuts for Billionares?

The only way to fix the economy is to give billionaires more money. After that, we must pray to these billionaires and hope that they answer our prayers and pass that money onto the rest of us.

"Burn a Koran Day" is drawing fire from all over the world. But who is the preacher behind this monstrosity? A man named Terry Jones and as Mike Papantonio points out on MSNBC's The Ed Show, he's nothing more than a religious fraud caught up in Fox's anti-Muslim crusade.

BP released their assessment of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and in their report they stated that no single failure could be blamed but rather the explosion was the result of numerous failures from numerous companies.

RFK, Jr. and Andrew Bacevich - America's Path to Permanent War

Since the Vietnam War politicians in Washington have adopted a foreign policy based on military strength and the threat of force. At the same time they've made it their duty to insist that their militant ways are the only way to restore peace to the world.

When Stupid People Don't Know They're Stupid

We've been discussing the dangers of Glenn Beck's incendiary rhetoric for years on Ring of Fire but in the last year his actions have been taken to a whole new level. And with his recent Tea Party rally in Washington it became clear that Beck isn't the only problem out there. We now have tens of thousands of Beck followers in this country who believe that they are intellectually superior to the rest of us and after seeing how truly brainwashed these people are this is a very dangerous thing. Mike Papantonio talks about how this brainwashing took place with blogger and author Chauncey DeVega.

Papantonio: The Palin Crazy Card

At last week's Republican Psycho Summit Sarah Palin told attendees that "if the American people were to be ready for someone who is willing to shake it up...of course I would give it a shot."

Mike Papantonio appears on The Ed Show to talk about why Sarah has no shot at getting nominated in 2012.
