Article by John on December 4th, 2009 at 5:45 pm Time magazine quote of the day today: “We sit the kids down to watch ‘The Charlie Brown Christmas Special’ and our muslim president is there … try to convince me that wasn’t done on purpose.” RUSSELL WISEMAN, mayor of Memphis suburb, Arlington, Tenn., writing on Facebook that President Obama deliberately timed his Afghanistan war speech to block the Christian message in a Christmas [...]
Article by missy on July 29th, 2009 at 4:13 pm That depends: does your god take bribes from Big Pharma? I’ve had three news stories banging around my brainpan since last Thursday, bumping up against one another and trying to make connections that my subconscious knows are there, but that my frontal lobe can’t seem to suss out. So, rather than let them continue to bruise my cerebral cortex – particularly on our third day [...]
Article by missy on June 3rd, 2009 at 4:48 pm Gay marriage legislation became law in New Hampshire this afternoon. Gov. John Lynch signed the bills just after 5:20 p.m. before dozens of enthusiastic supporters of same-sex marriage. New Hampshire’s law takes effect Jan. 1. HB 73, compromise legislation demanded by the governor, was passed by a vote of 14-10 in the Senate and 198-176 in the House today. HB 73 (text), was an add-on to [...]

Nowhere in those comments is there any mention of the mothers who desperately wanted their babies, but who were forced into Dr. Tiller’s care by genetic or gestational defects that defeat even modern medicine’s ability to cure. Take, [...]
Article by missy on May 26th, 2009 at 11:25 am The California Supreme Court upheld a ban on same-sex marriage today, ratifying a decision made by voters last year that runs counter to a growing trend of states allowing the practice. The decision, however, preserves the 18,000 marriages performed between the court’s decision last May that same-sex marriage was lawful and the passage by voters in November of Proposition 8, which banned it. Supporters of the [...]

Noticeably absent on stage was a fully confirmed federal health care official: There was no health [...]
Article by John on April 22nd, 2009 at 6:03 pm Krugman has an article today, Alice in financeland, that shows how sometimes following accounting rules leads to apparent absurdities. Because of market to market accounting rules and credit default swaps he says: …Citigroup is profitable because investors think it’s failing, while Morgan Stanley is losing money because investors think it will survive. I am not making this up. This is part of the problem of “too big [...] | |
