Biden says gay marriage 'inevitable' WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden said Friday that the country is evolving on the issue of gay marriage and he thinks it's inevitable there will be national consensus. He said on ABC's "Good Morning America" the same thing is happening with the issue of marriage that happened with gays' service in the military. Changes in attitudes by military leaders, those in the service and the public allowed the repeal by Congress of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that will eventually allow gays to serve openly in the military. Gay marriage is still not legal in most states. President Barack Obama ...

A Sudbury school is a school that practices a form of democratic education in which students individually decide what to do with their time, and learn as a by-product of ordinary experience rather than adopting a descriptive educational syllabus or standardized instruction by classes following a prescriptive curriculum. Students have complete responsibility for their own education and the school is run by direct democracy in which students and staff are equals.[1] The name 'Sudbury' refers to Sudbury Valley School, founded in 1968 in Framingham, Massachusetts, the first school of this type. There are now more than 30 Sudbury-type schools around the world.[2] These schools are not ...

The Senate voted Saturday afternoon to repeal the ban on gays in the military, marking a major victory for gay rights and an end to the 17-year old "don't ask, don't tell" policy. The bill now heads to President Barack Obama, who plans to sign it into law, overturning what repeal advocates believed was a discriminatory policy that unfairly ended the careers of thousands of gay members of the military over the years. The 65-31 Senate vote marked a historic – and emotional – moment for the gay-rights movement and handed Obama a surprising political triumph in the closing days of the 111th Congress. The legislation had been left for dead as recently as last week ...

Prank On UN Delegates Reveals Their Global Warming Stupidity Like the little robots that they are…programmed to nod and defend all things “climate related” without any thought or regard to any sense, this little prank from some collegians reveals the UN delegates for the ignorant non-thinkers that they are. It’s actually quite hilarious! The video first shows them passing a petition around and asking signatures for the destabilization of the US economy- which many proceeded to sign. Next, they began asking for signatures for the UN to ban the “largest greenhouse gas” and “chemical compound, di-hydrogen monoxide”– also known as H20. And, you ...
Federal Employees Set to Receive Raises Despite Call for Pay Freeze

Federal employees may seem a popular target as the Obama administration looks for budget cuts, but the president's proposed two-year pay freeze won't actually stop them from getting raises. Though President Obama has called on Congress to halt cost-of-living adjustments for the federal civilian workforce, many employees are still expected to receive raises through the rigid ladder-climbing pay system known as "step increases." Under the federal pay formula, employees are eligible for a regular pay raise every one-to-three years, depending on their seniority. When they get a raise, typically worth about 3 percent, they move up a "step"; there are 10 steps for ...

Embassy dispatches show America used spying, threats and promises of aid to get support for Copenhagen accord Hidden behind the save-the-world rhetoric of the global climate change negotiations lies the mucky realpolitik: money and threats buy political support; spying and cyberwarfare are used to seek out leverage. The US diplomatic cables reveal how the US seeks dirt on nations opposed to its approach to tackling global warming; how financial and other aid is used by countries to gain political backing; how distrust, broken promises and creative accounting dog negotiations; and how the US mounted a secret global diplomatic offensive to overwhelm opposition to the controversial ...
Dem Leader: Military Should Also See Pay Freeze

The second-ranking House Democrat said Monday that President Obama's move to freeze the pay of civilian federal employees should also be extended to military personnel. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said including the military would have increased savings and add "an element of fairness." He made the comments in a statement about he president's announcement of a two-year pay freeze. "While I appreciate that the president reduced the length of his proposed pay freeze from three to two years," Hoyer said in a statement, "it would have produced significantly more savings had that sacrifice been shared between federal civilian and military personnel - ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Somali-born university student met with an undercover FBI agent in August at a Portland hotel and told him he had found the perfect location for a terrorist attack: the city's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Mohamed Osman Mohamud told the agent that he had dreamed of carrying out an attack for years, and the city's Pioneer Courthouse Square would be packed with thousands, "a huge mass that will ... be attacked in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays," according to an affidavit. On Friday, Mohamud parked what he thought was a bomb-laden van near the ceremony and then went to a nearby train station, where he ...
GM's union recovering after stock sale,Taxpayers and investors not as fortunate as UAW

General Motors Co.'s recent stock offering was staged to start paying back the government for its $50 billion bailout, but one group made out much better than the taxpayers or other investors: the company's union. Thanks to a generous share of GM stock obtained in the company's 2009 bankruptcy settlement, the United Auto Workers is well on its way to recouping the billions of dollars GM owed it — putting it far ahead of taxpayers who have recouped only about 30 percent of their investment and further still ahead of investors in the old GM who have received nothing. The boon for the union fits the pattern established when the White House pushed GM into bankruptcy and ...

A West Rogers Park man was sentenced Wednesday to 25 months in prison for mailing a letter threatening to blow up a Jewish high school. A half-dozen friends and neighbors testified that Mohammad Alkaramla, 25, was a peaceful man with many friends in his multiethnic neighborhood until his estranged wife moved to Jordan with their son. The caring man known to friends as "Mo" then became depressed and feared Middle East strife would make life dangerous for his son, they said. Alkaramla, who was born in Jordan, mailed a letter in late 2008 to the Ida Crown Jewish Academy, threatening to plant a bomb there if Israel didn't withdraw troops from the Gaza Strip within two weeks, ...

New liberal talking point: Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are inciting genocide. Or something.

Here’s handy rule of thumb: Whenever someone suggests that one side of the political debate has a monopoly on dangerous propaganda, they can be safely ignored. After a long explicit discussion of the propaganda used to incite the Rwandan genocide, blogger Digby arrives at this conclusion:Right wing radio is hate radio. And Glenn Beck is [expletive redacted] lunatic. And they reach many millions of people every day. Will any of those people act? Well, they already have on an individual basis. But this daily ranting about the evil of liberalism and the inhumanity of liberals seems to finally be reaching some sort of critical mass in which those on the right who hear nothing but this sort ...

Experts Think California ‘Mystery Missile’ Was Merely A Plane Brett Michael Dykes Surely by now you've heard about the "mystery missile" that darted across the Southern California sky. Military officials and other federal authorities don't appear to have a clue as to what the flying object could have been. But some outside experts have a simple explanation for the uproar: What appeared to be a projectile spreading across the sky in the video was simply a contrail, the plume of smoke that airplanes typically leave in their wake. (UPDATE: The Pentagon is now also saying that it was a plane.) "This thing is so obviously an airplane contrail, and yet ...

By Rusty Weiss | November 07, 2010 | 13:55 Are they not properly vetting their liberals over at MSNBC? As NewsBuster Lachlan Markay reported on Friday: MSNBC suspended Keith Olbermann indefinitely … after news broke that he had given the maximum allowable contribution to three Democrats without disclosing it to his employers. With Olbermann out, MSNBC needed a fill-in, so in steps Chris Hayes, editor of the liberal magazine, The Nation. MSNBC pegged Hayes to fill in for the suspended Countdown host on Friday. His gig was short-lived however. Several hours after the announcement, Hayes had been dropped. (h/t Weasel Zippers) Why? For a series of donations to Democratic campaigns ...

Last night I was catching up reading one of my favorite bloggers, Ta-Nehisi Coates, when I came upon a video of Bill Maher declaring his unapologetic fear of Muslims. Maher points out that Mohammed recently became the most popular name for baby boys in Great Britain (at least, when you count all variations of the name), and asks with his customary belligerence, "[A]m I a racist to feel I'm alarmed by that? Because I am. And it's not because of the race, it's cause of the religion. I don't have to apologize, do I, for not wanting the Western world to be taken over by Islam in 300 years?" When members of his panel politely object, he acts incredulous. By the end of ...

Msnbc TV host gave cash to 3 Democratic candidates in apparent violation of NBC ethics policy Msnbc TV host Keith Olbermann was suspended indefinitely on Friday for making campaign donations to three Democratic congressional candidates, apparently in violation of NBC News ethics policy. The announcement came in a one-sentence statement from msnbc TV President Phil Griffin: “I became aware of Keith's political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay.” The donations were first reported by the Politico website earlier in the day. Olbermann acknowledged the donations in a statement to Politico, ...

Wednesday morning the Republican Party held a press conference. John Boehner, Haley Barbour and Mitch McConnell held forth, and if they mentioned "The American People" once, they mentioned them sixteen thousand two hundred and forty four times! They shoved "The American People," almost literally, into every other sentence. All they did to win in this election was listen to "The American People." "The American People" affirmed their Republican positions because the Republicans understood "The American People;" and "The American People" understood that they understood "The American People." And on and on and on and on. ...

The latest “Golden Hookah” award for outrageous government spending, presented by CNSNews.com, goes to First Lady Michelle Obama for calling on Congress to create a $400-million-a-year program to encourage the establishment of supermarkets in places she calls “food deserts.” “To do that,” the first lady has said, “we’re creating a Healthy Food Financing Initiative that’s going to invest $400 million a year -- and leverage hundreds of millions more from the private sector -- to bring grocery stores to underserved areas and help places like convenience stores carry healthier options.” Pushing this $400-million food-desert-eradication plan ...

Tim Wise is a very popular author and Daily Kos blogger who writes wordy, pompous dribble about how everything that’s wrong with the world can be explained only in reference to “white privilege”. The Kos kids absolutely eat it up. There are apparently few things that “progressives” enjoy more than a good, daily dose of white guilt from someone like him. Conservatives would actually do well to amplify his platform because he calls for exactly the kind of hyper-racial politics that has always been the absolute undoing of the American Left and the Democratic Party, and probably played no small role in their historic defeat last night. Although he and his followers are ...

If you want to know who is having a worse day than the DCCC*, the DSCC**, or the DNC***, try the Progressive Change Congressional Committee. You see, last week they issued a pledge in support of net neutrality that was signed by ninety-five candidates. Every single one of them lost. (pause) Oops? Moe Lane (crosspost) *Fairly obvious. **Yes, of course the DSCC will claim that they did a great job in losing one-third of their at-risk caucus, while ensuring that none of our seats flipped. They can also claim that the moon is made of green cheese.
