Purple - Eventually You Get To Egypt

Purple - Labor Bash

Purple Published in Politics by Purple | Comment (1)

 

Beware of evil unions.  Those pesky workers!  How dare teachers, nurses, and steel workers bargain collectively?  How dare policemen and firemen and state health inspectors push an agenda?  Don't they know lobbying is the exclusive right of corporations?

Conservatives voice such sentiments in utter seriousness. For a local example, take CEO of Graniterock,

Open Up the Internet: An Opinion

The Editor Published in Politics, Internet, Geekery by The Editor | Comment (0)

Cruzio is a member of the California ISP Association, who just entered a comment in the FCC website on the hot issue in telecommunications these days: whether the FCC has any authority to regulate the Internet.

The Mushy Middle

Wordsmith Published in Politics, Lobbies, Health Care by Wordsmith | Comment (2)

   As the health care dedate drags on, President Obama is now back pedalling on the public option and is focusing instead on reform that ensures "competition", as if health care is nothing more than a business and a way to generate wealth for corporate stock holders.

No doubt Obama and other middle of the road Democrats feel the need to compromise, and in

Gang Violence or Gang Rhetoric? Terrorism and Stereotypes

SmileyFaced Published in Politics, Crime, Community by SmileyFaced | Comment (1)



Multi-million dollar homes sit unsold at the top of the hills while shanti shacks crumble and climb on top of each other along the sides of the roads.  Big monster trucks packing shotguns race lowriders with a semi automatic weapons waiting quietly in the passenger seat, while bewildered  children dive out of the way.

Losing America

 We are literally losing America here, people. How far are we going to let this go? Meanwhile, they want to drop chemicals on our heads, they want to climb all up in reproductive organs, they want to regulate the marriage bed, they want listen to our

I wasn't able to sleep, and judging from the noises coming from the washer, drier and Jake's room in the wee morning hours, neither was Jake.

The Economics of H8

My Dad was asking me what were the "privleges" of marriage and the difference with domestic partnerships, civil unions, etc. We talked about the economics of the institution of marriage (let alone the wedding industry), about property & progeny, and marriage as a contract with financial benefits. My friend L had also addressed this

Dear People,

Well, it's happened. The financial meltdown so long predicted has begun for real. Even if we knew it had to happen, it's scary. Stock markets crashing, foreclosures skyrocketing, the biggest banks going belly up, jobs disappearing. With so much suffering for so many, and more losses foretold, it's hard not to feel the panic.
