Hurricane Irene
is coming east-coasters!
The governor has already declared a state of emergency.

Re: Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple
It was announced last week that BOA plans big layoffs: The nation's largest bank will lay off 3,500 employees this quarter, in addition to the 2,500 jobs it's already cut this year. Reports say the bank could eliminate up to 10,000 jobs, though a bank spokesman would not comment on that figure. BofA...

Re: Now Watching...
We cancelled our cable in July. We still get 16 channels using rabbit ears from Radio Shack.
I will probably cave in a few months and sign up with Comcast again through one of their specials. We'll see.

Re: Reactionaries are feminists, too
The core of feminism is individual choice and freedom , and it’s these strains that are being sounded now more by the Tea Party movement than by the left. But apart from these sound bites, there’s a powerful constituency of right-wing women in Britain and Western Europe, as well as in America, who ...
