• Diane Sawyer asks Nancy Pelosi: Will the debt deal hurt real people

  Thu Aug 4, 2011
  • "Real" people refer to those that (a) work for a living and (b) pay taxes. Which rules out the entire business-owning corporate class and the political elite. You know, the right-wing?

• No pay hike for CPS teachers, but executives are getting raises?

  • Capitalism -- that is, greed -- has nothing to do with "common sense" thinking; it's all hardly surprising but thoroughly disappointing and infuriating.

• Florida government defends requiring drug tests for welfare recipients

  Thu Jun 9, 2011
  • And when do the public officials get drug tested? Every paycheck they receive is public taxpayer money. Let's test every single member of congress (state and federal) before they receive each and every paycheck. And Wall Street bailout bankers -- let's test them, too.

• Too Many Bombs Dropped Together May Actually Contribute To Terrorism In Iraq.

  Thu May 26, 2011
  • How about we stop dropping million-dollar bombs on poor people in other countries completely -- especially as it has nothing to do with national security and everything to do with defense contractors and corrupt politicians (that's redundant).

  Fri May 13, 2011
  • Ginned-up nonsense with any merit whatsoever. The right-wing will latch on to anything and everything to besmirch this president. Disrespect for the office (an old Bush cry) barely scratches the surface. Just pathetic.

• Residents cannot stop police entry into home

  Fri May 13, 2011
  • IANAL, but wouldn't the federal Constitution take precedence (4th Amendment) "which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with requiring any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause."? Source: wikipedia

• Noam Chomsky: My Reaction to Osama bin Laden's Death

  Mon May 9, 2011
  • I just finished an excellent book by Chomsky, Hopes and Prospects. He writes in great detail about the historical model of "American Exceptionalism;" the abhorrent and extensive crimes which our government commits worldwide, for political and economic supremacy (at the cost of actual democracy).

• The People vs. Goldman Sachs

  Wed May 11, 2011
  • Defenders of Goldman have been quick to insist that while the bank may have had a few ethical slips here and there, its only real offense was being too good at making money. We now know, unequivocally, that this is bullshit.

• This Guy's Going to Jail for Life for a Marijuana Conviction

  Tue May 10, 2011
  • while the law may not always be good and just, criminals seldom are. You're a little confused... millions of law-abiding citizens smoke pot; the real criminals put them in jail in order to profit from it.
