Blagojevich gets 14 years, but what about these guys?
Written by Michael Collins   
Thursday, 08 December 2011

Obama administration turns against women now
Written by Marc Perkel   
Wednesday, 07 December 2011

Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services today blocked the over-the-counter sale of emergency contraceptive "Plan B" to girls under 17 years old. Because the pill is most effective when used in the first 24 hours, Obama is intervening to help ensure that girls 16 and under are more likely to get pregnant. I don't know why the Republicans are trying to defeat Obama. It seems with this decision along with other similar decisions that we already have a Republican president.

5 years in prison for singing copyrighted music?
Written by Marc Perkel   
Friday, 02 December 2011

Our Congress, in their infinite wisdom, is considering passing the "Stop Online Piracy Act" (SOPA), which includes a provision making it a felony to upload a video of someone singing a copyrighted song on YouTube, with up to 5 years in prison for doing so.

Dr. Conrad Murray, the guy convicted of manslaughter for killing Michael Jackson, only got a maximum of 4 years in prison.

So, according to the proposed law, you get less prison time for killing Michael Jackson than for singing one of his songs. This is just plain crazy.

We have to say no to the rich
Written by Marc Perkel   
Tuesday, 08 November 2011

I read today Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann putting forth her "everyone-pays" tax plan. What is her plan? Raise taxes on the poor. The Republicans seem to feel that the lower 99% need to pay more taxes. That we should be the ones to shoulder the burden of society. All of them have similar plans that have exactly the same effect:

Tuesday the House of Representatives passed a bill declaring "In God we Trust" as the national motto, apparently to send some sort of message that they are somehow morally superior to us lowly non-believing heathens. But the way I see it…
