Half
A Loaf, Or Less:
The Chicago diocese has released information on about half of the
pedophilic priests they've acknowledged, but the files released only
dealt with pre-1996 abuse and only identified either suspended or
defrocked clerics. None related to abuse by current clergy, giving
the undoubtedly false impression that the abuse had stopped and the
church was no longer hiding the criminals.
Mirabile
dictu!
Louisiana courts have found that the funding of the state's voucher
program with public school funds is unconstitutional. Courts also
have found Gov. Jindal's war on public school teachers was
unconstitutional. And the Fourth Circuit Court ruled that the 7,000
teachers fired amid the devastation of Huricane Katrina were
wrongfully terminated and due back wages.
Clueless:
A Pennsylvania Republican honored MLK by proposing a bill that
would legalize discrimination. A Michigan Republican wants to “herd
all the Indians” into Detroit and fence them in. A Florida
Republican says “It's time to arrest [Obama] and hang
him high.” Kentucky Republicans want to
redefine abortion as domestic violence And best of all Missouri
Republicans have drafted a bill that would allow parents to pull
their children from science classes that are teaching the theory of
evolution. SC
Republican state senator Lee Bright (irony, f'sure) is trying to
gain Lindsey Graham's seat in order to prevent armed IRS-trained
agents from using assault weapons to force you to use Obamacare.
It's not so much these people say
such things, it's that they
believe them.
Clarifying
the Obvious:
“American capitalism as currently constituted is undermining the
foundations of middle-class society.” Seems obvious. A class war
is going on between the takers and the rest of us, the 99%.
America’s affluent are affluent not because they made the right
lifestyle choices. got good educations, and so on. They are affluent
because we let them steal from the rest of us. End of story, move
along.
Asked
& Answered:
What's
the Best Way to Help the Poor? Jobs. What's the best way to create
jobs? Build and repair our infrastructure through government
spending. Won't that add to the deficit? Yes,
and that may be a problem someday, but it'll subtract from the
poverty today. "And an increase in the minimum wage is better
than doing nothing at all.”
Trendsetting:
Last year was California's driest on record and this year
conditions are worse. The Sierra Nevada snowpack - which turns into
irrigation and drinking water in the summer- is now at about 10 to
30% of its normal depth. The rainy season is nearly over, what little
there was of it, and NOAA experts agree more
of the same is the most likely forecast.
