More: Forward Progressives -- Republican Governor Pushing to Loosen Child Labor Laws And the Republican march to return us to a society similar to that of the late-1800′s continues. The latest move comes by way of the Republican Governor from Maine, Paul LePage, announcing that he will continue to push for the loosening of child labor laws through the new year. He apparently thinks ...
Don't believe the recent press that the GOP war on the ACA is over, they've merely begun wasting taxpayer's dollars and time on this nonsense in Congress. I call these hearings a waste of money because they are not really hearings; they are full on propaganda shows, put on by the GOP in order to get negative ObamaCare press they can use in 2014. ...
Fox news channel's fading chief demagogue and culture war rant meister allies with a horrible group to further the cause. What O'Reilly fails to mention is that while defending Christmas in the fake war at home, the ADF is waging a vastly different and very real legal war abroad: an aggressive effort to imprison LGBT people. For three years, the ADF and a few ...
"The reservation of the priesthood to males ... is not a question open to discussion," Francis writes. While, in the same document, the pope also reiterates the church's rejection of abortion as a moral choice and implicitly condones the marginalization of LGBTQ people, it is his blessing of a male-only priesthood that is arguably the most damaging, for it renders the church as a ...

We appreciate your patience and support and remain committed to serving all of our customers, from hunters and sport shooters to those who protect our country and our streets. Does the recent ...
The ACLU has the moral high ground. Will the church respond well? But are they negligent if they fail to merely inform a pregnant woman that abortion is the safest option when her health is in danger and her fetus faces certain death? And that if she wants an abortion, she should seek help elsewhere? That's the crux of the issue in a negligence ...
Mother Jones reports: How Wall Street Has Turned Housing Into a Dangerous Get-Rich-Quick Scheme--Again You can hardly turn on the television or open a newspaper without hearing about the nation's impressive, much celebrated housing recovery. Home prices are rising! New construction has started! The crisis is over! Yet beneath the fanfare, a whole new get-rich-quick scheme is brewing. Over the last year and a ...
Few of us realize the engineering and design implications of our power grid. The paragraphs quoted below are just a couple points to take in. My point is I'm all for renewable energy. Been reading up. I had no idea how tough that would be on the hardware side. I was fully briefed on a possible medium size installation of solar at a business. ...
The first commercially available color photographic process, Autochrome, was introduced in the United States in 1907. Alfred Stieglitz and George Seeley soon began experimenting with it, but it was not until the nineteen-fifties that color photography began to come into its own as an artistic medium, in the work of Ernst Haas, Helen Levitt, and others. This was the generation of the photographer Saul ...
Clear Channel Communications Inc. is offering to double interest to push out maturities on some of the $4.3 billion it owes, just as the most-leveraged U.S. broadcaster suffers the first cash-flow deficit in four years. The company said on Nov. 25 that it's seeking to extend about $1.8 billion of borrowings due in 2016 by three years to five years, which Fitch Ratings estimates ...
Undocumented women often become de facto slaves when brought to this country by their "husbands". They are uneducated, do not know the language and are manipulated by their men. The fear of deportation or of losing their children is very real. The US does have laws on the books to help these women, but funds for outreach are limited. Abusers find they have free ...
This is me not surprised. One month ago, the Swiss laboratory announced "moderate support" for the poisoning idea. Then the Russians declared that their tests were inconclusive. Today, the French scientists declared that they saw no signs of poisoning, that when Arafat died at age 75, he was just an ailing elderly man vulnerable to spreading infection. In fact, this isn't as much of ...
More: St. Paul YMCA and Police Start Somali Girls Swim Group Rayan Dhamuke, 12, doesn't get to swim a lot, unlike her brothers. During the past summer, she had to visit the pool at 5 a.m. so that she would have the privacy she needed to enjoy the water while still adhering to her family's cultural and religious beliefs. To better accommodate girls like ...
The enigmatic Canon 1 à 2 from J. S. Bachs Musical Offering (1747), The manuscript depicts a single musical sequence that is to be played front to back and back to front.Video by Jos Leys (
Because in order to get wingnuts to watch your show, sometimes you have to beat a dead horse. On the December 3 edition of Fox News' The Kelly File, Kelly hosted Republican Rep. Devin Nunes (CA) to discuss this week's closed-door congressional testimony from two CIA contractors present in Benghazi during the attacks on September 11, 2012. During the interview, Nunes claimed that there ...
While I think freedom of religion for everyone needs to be respected, that doesn't mean they have the right to impose those beliefs on anyone. Why should publicly funded Universities in the UK or anywhere require students to be segregated by Gender, even if its just when certain people are speaking? Also, since the religion of the speaking is what's being used here to ...
Okay, folks, Declutterfest 3 is a go for this weekend. And now, we enter the Office, where the good stuff lives! As before, it's SOP: Saturday; anytime after noon. I provide pizza, beer, Coke, and water (BYOB otherwise), and you bring two boxes: one for me, and one for you. (I'll probably also hit Staples and get 4-8 boxes this week anyway.) We go ...
For all the history buffs out there. A treasure trove of ancient bibles and rare Greek and Hebrew texts are being made available to the public through a website set up by the Vatican and Oxford University. A priceless 1455 copy of the Gutenberg Bible -- the first major book to be printed with movable type in the West and one of fewer than ...
Yeah, I can relate to this. Allen makes a crucial point when he reminds us that extreme wingnut dominance in Texas is a comparatively new phenomenon: It has been less than 20 year since Ann Richards, may she rest in peace, was governor. There are many reasons for the far right ascendancy in recent years, many of them having to do with the power ...
