carolina lost but at least earl is back… i guess?
I love this idea that I’ve seen going around on Tumblr for the past few days that setting the path towards immigration reform means combating Republican racism. Well, yeah, it’s undeniable that there’s a serious problem with racism in this country that does not just come…
R. Kelly in the middle of the Sahara wearing jeans and playing the sitar means that black history month is underway.
Komen for the Cure founder Nancy Brinker goes from “deal with it” to “I’m sorry” in the space of 15 hours. Make up your mind, dude.
The internet wins again. I am so fucking sick of the “internet activism doesn’t do shit” crowd.
Even though this was strictly a PR move, it shows the power that the public voice has and how effectively the internet can be a means of making that voice heard. (which is probably another reason the government/big business is so hell bent on censoring it).
Doin’ stuff isn’t for chumps. It’s how things get changed.
She said, “I’m sorry we stopped funding planned parenthood” on twitter- that’s all. Susan G. Komen still refuses to reinstate funding for planned parenthood.
Daily Kos has more details about how the corporate media dutifully reported that Komen reinstated funding for Planned Parenthood, even though it’s completely and totally untrue.
SIGNAL BOOST. This fight is far from over. They’re pulling one over on us!Oops
BEST. COMMERCIAL. EVER.
This is great but im sure all the ‘67 ford mustang drivers will be just fine.
Senate passes STOCK Act to end congressional insider trading
In a rare showing of bipartisanship, the Senate voted 93 to 3 on Thursday to approve the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, legislation that prohibits lawmakers and their staff from trading stocks based on information they learn during congressional briefings and related work.
Sens. Tom Coburn (R-OK), Richard Burr (R-NC) and Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) voted against the bill.
“Bottom line, members of Congress have to live by the same laws everyone else,” said Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), who proposed the STOCK Act. “With approval ratings of Congress at an all-time low, this bill represents an opportunity to build some trust with the American people.”
“The truth is, members of Congress have access to all kinds of sensitive information, and it has to be clear that the information is being used to serve our country – not to make a personal profit.”
The legislation directly corrects the ambiguity in existing laws by empowering the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to ensure that members of Congress and their staff can be held accountable for illegally trading on non-public information.
“We are entrusted with a profound responsibility by the American people to look out for their best interests, and nothing else, certainly not our own financial interests,” Sen. Gillibrand (D-NY) said.
“Today, we took the first step toward restoring the trust that’s been lost in Washington by ensuring that members of Congress play by the exact same rules as everyday Americans.”
I just dont trust it. It sounds good, but won’t really do much for anybody. I feel like there is more to this then meets the eye.

January jobless rate is the lowest since February 2009.
2/3/12 8:34 AM In addition to pulling funds from Planned Parenthood for The Susan G. Komen Foundation also decided to stop funding embryonic stem cell research centers making it fully transparent the organization has evolved from non-political non-profit to a partisan advocacy organization.
That means the loss of $3.75 million to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, $4.5 million to the University of Kansas Medical Center, $1 million to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, $1 million to the Society for Women’s Health Research, and $600,000 to Yale University. That’s a loss of nearly $12 million dollars in research money to eradicate breast cancer this year alone.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
