Sanford-Colbert Busch Debate: Former South Carolina Governor 'Didn't Hear' Affair Jab


Only for people. For white business folk, the S.C. righties will pour money over your head, drown union initiatives like kittens in a sack, and guarantee that aspirin for heart attacks and birth control is all a business needs to provide.

Yahoo Doubles Paid Maternity And Paternity Leave To Draw Talent, Not To Make Amends


I am surprised at how annoyed I still am at Mayer, and how much I almost completely disagree with her estimation of where work flexibility begins, where it is now - and where it should go. But most of all I am astonished at her misreading of the reality of work life in the new environment, and her failure to sense the repercussions that continue to flow from her precipitous rebuilding of fences before she understands why they were torn down in the first place.

Anne Frank's vagina

“It all depends on what you consider to be educational. I personally think that the young readers gain more from the challenge of integrating the uncomfortable input from unexpected sources. But I do sympathize with those parents wanting to be warned of upcoming controversial materials. I am a purist usually, but on this topic I know that I personally have competing conclusions.”

This is one of the key and despicable acts of the wolf-class republicans that are running the GOP - stop the wheels and jam the gears of all things progressive.

Tax-Free Online Shopping Jeopardized By Senate Bill


Wrong solution. But the conservatives secretly love it! Going toward sales-tax based funding for government is probably the final off-ramp for progressive taxing in America - for those with average incomes, the percentage of their income being taxed would increase and become greater than those with higher incomes. It's just a nasty old fact - one that the right spends a lot of time trying to spin into their ubiquitous, pseudo-argument about the mythical "job creators" in the GOP.



Other fun fact! - citizens in sales-tax free states will be forced to now pay sales-tax on out-state-purchases, but not in-state purchases.
