Another Insane, Obscene Ruling From This Supreme Court

Supreme Court: religious schools can discriminate when hiring

In one of these cases being tried, a teacher was fired from a religious school because she it was discovered she had breast cancer.

You would think religious schools would fight to make sure organizations COULDN'T discriminate when hiring. Dear God--pun intended--I hope they don't call or consider themselves Christians.

More Right Wing insanity.

And hypocrisy.

Thanks, Republicans.

Inauguration Day: One Last Dig

From here on, God help us.

America, don't let these happen

There are two purchases that have been proposed, that are pending, that absolutely, without question, should not happen and that will only end up hurting you, hurting us, hurting America. These two purchases will do nothing but make extremely large, already-powerful companies even larger and do nothing but hurt competition here in the country and hurt you and me, hurt our pocketbooks.  They are:

Time Warner Cable to Merge with Comcast Corporation

AT&T pursues $50B DirecTV deal

There is already far too little competition for internet and TV services. These purchases, if allowed to occur, will shrink it down even further.

The only winners are the large corporations and the executives at them.

Fight these America.

If you know what's good for you.

Watch out for Kim Jong Il

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced further sanctions against North Korea, to punish them "to halt North Korea’s proliferation of weapons of mass destruction along with other 'illicit activities that helped fund their weapons programs.'” This on top of the fact that, next week, "The United States and South Korea announced Tuesday that the first in a series of large-scale naval exercises off Japan and the Korean Peninsula would begin next week, despite objections from China." Watch for it: Kim Jong Il is going to "go off" and start saber-rattling, at minimum. Let's hope that's as bad as it's going to get.
