It’s been almost a year since I had our last C&L fundraising drive and the response from our readership was terrific. With the 2012 election fast approaching I’m going to need your help again because we’ll need more staff, which might include writers, reporters and upgrades to the C&L team and website. Won’t you please donate whatever you can? In a time like this with so many Republican Tea Party politicians and Third Way Democrats trying to take us back before the days of FDR’s New Deal and where Elitist Royalty ruled; I think America needs as many people fighting for their rights as we can muster and I think we’ve been leaders in that fight. I don’t have to tell you how much effort C&L and our team puts out to keep the news flowing every day, week in and week out. Supporting progressive candidates and causes has also been high on our list and I’m proud of my work with Blue America PAC . Our sister sites like Video Cafe keeps pumping out the videos, LNMC Music Club keeps pumping out the music and Newstalgia keeps pumping out incredible historical information that corresponds to current events. We’ve begun designing new websites which I intend to introduce in the coming year to our C&L community and diaries for our readers are not far behind. If you’d like to snail mail a check instead as a donation, here’s our mailing address: C&L POBOX 66310 Los Angeles, CA 90066 I don’t often ask for donations so please do what you can to help us out. Thanks, John Amato, Publisher

Apple beats estimates with Q2 earnings: $24.67 billion revenue, $5.99 billion profit

Apple just announced its earnings for the second quarter of the year, and it’s once again beat estimates, with it reporting earnings of $6.40 a share, a total of $24.67 billion in revenue, and a net profit of $5.99 billion. As for the sales breakdown everyone’s waiting for, Apple says it sold a whopping 18.6 million iPhones in the quarter (up 113 percent over the previous year, and ahead of estimates of 16 million), plus 4.69 million iPads (actually less than the expected 6.29 million, apparently due to supply issues), and 3.76 million Macs, which represents a 28 percent jump over the same quarter a year ago. Not surprisingly, iPods are the one area that continues to slow, with sales of 9.02 million representing a 17 percent decline over the previous year — the iPod touch accounted for more than half of those sales. One other big bright spot for the company is the Asia Pacific region, where it saw revenue grow a staggering 151 percent year-over-year. Interestingly, Apple isn’t providing any specific sales numbers for the iPad 2 — it’s only saying that it “sold every iPad 2 we could make in the quarter.” Update: The company’s press release is after the break.

A Chicago cop says he has managed to decipher one of the coded messages that have long frustrated investigators—one left by the Zodiac killer. Lt. John Lewison has been something of a Zodiac hobbyist ever since the “BTK Killer” was caught in 2005 using clues from the taunting letters…
