laura the tooth: the french could teach us a few things: "over one million french people took to the streets to protest a draconian law that allows companies to fire employees under 26 within the first 2 years on the job without reason.

i'm no economist, so i'm not about to get into the nitty gritties of the financial cycle and how it affects the employment rate and whatnot. but the bottom line is this: how far are we willing to let the most unfortunate among us fall? and make no mistake--the ones that like to tell the rest of us to tighten our belts are the ones who are still living it up.

this isn't a smutty post, but goddammit this is an important current event! we need to know about the world, and our ignorance of their affairs is no longer excusable."

Dispassionate Lib

"Now the 'Prom Queen and King' of country music, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, are piling on the Prez-Nit-Wit

Eric Boehlert at The Huffington Post

Hill, reportedly close to tears as she discussed the Katrina mess, labeled the fiasco 'Bullshit' and announced 'I fear for our country.'

Personally, I don't usually give a rat's patoot what those two think, but a lot of people do."

Shock and Awe; the Sequel: "The Bush administration has unilaterally repealed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) by demanding that Iran cease all uranium enrichment. This action overturns the central principle of the treaty which provides states with the “inalienable right” (NPT phrase) to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. Two years of intrusive inspections by the UN watchdog agency (IAEA) have never produced “any evidence of nuclear weapons programs” or any diversion of nuclear material. Nevertheless, the US insists that Iran be deprived of the same right that is afforded to every other signatory of the NPT.

What gives Washington the right to rescind an internationally-recognized treaty? "
