City Councilman Albus Brooks Says Homeless Can Come to His House

Denver City Councilman Albus Brooks was the major proponent of the bill criminalizing homelessness in Denver. After the vote to pass the bill, Brooks was asked on his Facebook page whether he will now open up his personal home to the homeless so that they aren't arrested. Brooks responded "yes" and then told the public to "send them over" to his home. Here's the screen shot of Brooks' response:

WEe are joined by Brian Miller who co wrote with Mike Lapham the new book The Self-Made Myth and the Truth About How Government Helps Businesses Succeed.  The Self-Made Myth exposes the false claim that business success is the result of heroic individual effort with little or no outside help. Brian Miller and Mike Lapham bust the myth and present profiles of business leaders who recognize the public investments and supports that made their success possible—including Warren Buffett, Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry’s, New Belgium Brewing CEO Kim Jordan, and others. The book also thoroughly demolishes the claims of supposedly self-made individuals such as Donald Trump and Ross Perot. How we view the creation of wealth and individual success is critical because it shapes our choices on taxes, regulation, public investments in schools and infrastructure, CEO pay, and more. Brian Miller has served as executive director of United for a Fair Economy (UFE) since 2009, drawing on nearly 20 years of experience as a community organizer, coalition leader, media spokesperson, writer, researcher, and nonprofit director.

A vegan activist group is calling on the White House to ban the president, his family, and his cabinet from eating what it calls junk food at public events — and drawing attention to some of the more notable pictures of Barack Obama snacking on foods that don’t exactly fit into his wife’s anti-obesity campaign.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine mailed a petition to Mr. Obama calling on him to issue an executive order requiring official photo opportunities to feature only healthy foods, and focusing on studies linking  meat and dairy foods to obesity and increased risk of some cancers.
