– I want to support the Off-Peak Discount for Metro, but I don’t think it’s very rational. I don’t know, maybe just because it went up so much in recent years.
– “Why I Use Birth Control”: 11 Women Speak Up
– It’s rather striking to see how many states have ultrasound requirements, biased counseling sessions, mandatory waiting periods, and regulations on the abortion pill.

– I have been slowly re-reading Vonnegut, but I have avoided Slaughterhouse 5, Mother Night and Cat’s Cradle because I’m afraid I won’t like them as much as I did when I was 14. Anyway, I’ll probably have to get over that with Slaughterhouse 5 to get the full effect of this.
Two, count’m TWO former Utah Attorneys General indicted for bribery, enterprise corruption and malfeasance related charges. Arrested and taken into custody in handcuffs in full view of the public.
A good start at scratching the surface of the GOP corruption that has gone unchecked for far too long.
@1 Those RepubliCons would be funny if they weren’t so pathetic.
Wisconsin is experiencing a RepubliCon crime wave, too.

The Dominionist TeaBagger types are ultimately holocaust deniers in any case. They grew up watching shit like “Song of the South” and “The Rifleman” and they think that is what life was really like. They were teethed and weaned on television being their primary god. They believed everything they saw on it. They watched the news about the Civil Rights battles taking place in Mississippi and Louisiana and Tennessee and hate those damn uppity Negroes for what they were doing to this country and have denied their own culpability and that of their parents and grandparents ever since. So they tell baldfaced lies to their own kids about how the black folks were treated in this country before the commies gave them the right to vote.
Case in point.
@5 That’s why I’m against charter schools, which receive public funding with no voter control over, or accountability for, what is taught or whether children learn. Charter schools are akin to turning over control of our police or military forces to private individuals who answer to no one.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors has approved a massive contract for Light Rail Vehicles, up to 260 of them. Siemens won the contract, but the Board of Supervisors for the City and County of San Francisco still has to vote. With a this contract, the work will stay in California.

The Republican Times has endorsed Dave Reichert for re-election. I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you! Who could have expected that from the ex-officio newsletter of the Washington Republican Party?
It’s not an ‘off-peak discount’; it’s a ‘peak surcharge’.
I don’t understand the point of pricing off-peak/peak differently when the difference is merely 25 cents. Increase the disparity to 50 cents, the way it used to be, or get rid of it.
A Texas woman who worked as a minor actress will do 18 years in prison for trying to frame her estranged husband by sending ricin-laced letters to the White House and then claiming he did it.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: When she gets out, maybe she can get gigs playing female convicts. I’m sure there must be movie and TV scripts calling for such roles.
I would rather see an Off-Peak Day Travelcard like they do in London. Great for tourists and others who are able to use the system during off hours. Takes the load off the system and sells more tickets.
I would use transit more if didn’t cost so much when use it heavily one day a week. Generally I take my car instead, because parking is not really a problem in the neighborhoods during the day, if you know where to look for free spots.

One thing you’ll almost never see employers do is take responsibility. If they can’t fill job vacancies, they blame it on workers’ lack of skills. But sometimes it’s their own damn fault.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/101838167
Employers expect you to get the training and skills they need at your own expense. They expect you to endure absurd interview processes, then wait weeks or months to find out whether they’re going to offer you a job. They expect you to relocate and reorder your whole life around their whims. They expect you to jump on their command. Well, I have news for them: I made $2,257 in the stock market today, so they can keep their fucking job. I refuse to work, because I’m a capitalist now. We should all be capitalists and refuse to work on their terms.
Another reason to tell employers to take a hike.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: At least these workers have a union to represent them. Without a union, they couldn’t even take a piss. If you’re one of the unfortunates who has to work for a living, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want a union on your side. I just don’t get workers voting against unions. The union is their only friend. Their employer sure as hell isn’t on their side.
It looks like the progressives are bailing on (un)SP. As Tensor wrote, “I think we can just let it die quietly”. I have to agree. Progressives were the ones keeping the place alive. Without us, it’s dead.
Good riddance to (un)SP.

Could Rahmbo Another Newtown’s Worth of Dead People Per Week Emanuel be in trouble? http://politics.suntimes.com/a.....2014-334pm
Goes to show Rahmbo is way over his head as the mayor. Puddy had a job in Chicago just a few days as he took over being mayor. Rahmbo made sure all the signage from O’Hare to the inner city told the world he was mayor but he had no clue about inner city gun violence by gangs and criminals. Yet Rahmbo wanted to steal the guns from the regular citizens.
Clueless then, still clueless now!
Puddy working 90 miles from Stockton and the poor hostage woman killed by police. The lady and her husband just bought a house. She leaves a 19 & 12 year old.
So why were these two criminals still running around…? Oh wait it’s libtard California!
Airliner shot down… Where is Obummer… Oh yeah gotta keep fundraising!
