| Jennifer Sass & Joaquin Sapien on Formaldehyde Carcinogen Listing, Despite Industry Lobby | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 14 Jun 2011 DemocracyNow.org - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has added formaldehyde to a list of known carcinogens, despite years of lobbying by the chemical industry. Formaldehyde is found in plastics and often used in plywood, particle board, mortuaries and hair salons. The conservative billionaire Koch brothers have led the lobbying effort against labeling formaldehyde as a carcinogen, and Georgia-Pacific, a subsidiary of Koch Industries, is one of the country's top producers of formaldehyde. Democracy Now! interviews Jennifer Sass, the senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Joaquin Sapien, reporter at ProPublica. The government also said Friday that styrene, which is used in boats, bathtubs and in disposable foam plastic cups and plates, may cause cancer. | |

GOP Candidates Call For Massive Deregulation, Dismantling Of Health, Worker and Consumer Protections |
| From: thinkprogress5 |VIDEO: GOP Candidates Call For Massive Deregulation, Dismantling Of Health, Worker and Consumer Protections By Pat Garofalo on Jun 14, 2011 at 10:30 am Last night, seven of the Republican 2012 presidential hopefuls participated in a debate in New Hampshire, and as the Wall Street Journal noted, the candidates used the occasion to ?[press] for the dismantling of government regulations drawn up over 40 years.? Indeed, the candidates unveiled a deregulatory zeal, proposing to repeal everything from environmental and labor protections to the Dodd-Frank financial reform law and regulations included in the Affordable Care Act. Here are some highlights: NEWT GINGRICH: The Congress this year, this week, ought to repeal the Dodd-Frank bill, they ought to repeal the Sarbanes-Oxley bill. REP. MICHELE BACHMANN (R-MN): What we need to do is pass the mother of all repeal bills?and I would begin with the EPA, because there is no other agency like the EPA. It should really be called the job-killing organization of America. RICK SANTORUM: This president has put a stop sign against oil drilling, against any kind of exploration offshore or in Alaska and that is depressing. We need to drill. GINGRICH: And one of the things Congress should do immediately is defund the National Labor Relations Board. HERMAN CAIN: If the federal government continues to do the kind of things that this administration is trying to do through the backdoor, through the National Labor Relations Board, that?s killing our free-market system. Watch a compilation: Despite a financial crisis caused in large part by deregulation, climate change wreaking havoc on the country, and plummeting unionization coupled with plummeting incomes, the GOP still seems to believe that the government has no role in setting rules of the road or enforcing any sort of standard to guard against corporate greed or environmental devastation. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) even seemed to imply that the government should privatize disaster relief, responding to a question about FEMA by saying, ?Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that?s the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that?s even better.? But not every statement uttered by the candidates was anti-regulation. Cain replied to a question about whether the government has a role in food safety by saying, ?The federal government should be doing food safety, yes.? | |

Harvard Professor Edward Glaeser: Have Cities Become America's Ugly Stepchildren? |
| Uploaded by videonation on 14 Jun 2011 Massive subsidization of highways, a fetish for home ownership and the decentralized American school system have turned our cities into "ugly stepchildren," Harvard Professor Edward Glaeser argues in this interview recorded by On The Earth Productions at this year's Congress for New Urbanism in Madison, Wisconsin. Despite America's anti-urban policy bias, Glaeser says, cities play a unique role in promoting social justice. Importantly, many of the problems associated with poverty that often plague cities are not caused by the urban environment itself, but are instead signs that cities are succeeding: that they are attracting people with economic and educational opportunities that they could not find elsewhere. Instead of demonizing and neglecting urban areas, this country should promote policies that create a "level playing field" between our cities and the outlying suburban and rural areas. | |

Andrew Rannells performs 'I Believe' from 'South Park' creators' 'The Book Of Mormon' at the Tony Awards |
| Tony Awards 2011 - The Book of Mormon - I Believe - Andrew Rannells From The Raw Story: In a show-stopping performance sure to sell at least as many tickets to ?The Book Of Mormon? at its 9 Tony Awards, Andrew Ranell sang Matt Stone and Trey Parker?s ode to Mormonism at last night?s Tony Awards. Though it starts off innocuously enough, the song also explores some of the idiosyncratic beliefs of the Mormon faith, including the belief that Jesus has its own planet and that black people weren?t allowed in the church until 1978. Watch the performance, first aired on CBS on June 12, 2011 | |
