The Right-Wing Network Behind the War on Unions - Mother Jones
There are times networks cause good things to happen. But this would be one of the times a network causes bad things to happen. I hope that there are enough Americans out there who realize that all of the bad stuff is coming for the GOP side and decide to go for the Democrats and the Independents who lean more Democrat for the sake of everyone.

Fact Checking Sarah Palin
Fact Checking Sarah Palin - Mother Jones
I'm sure someone could manage to get a full time job for doing this. And it's pretty bad when someone has to fact check you on your own husband.

Rep. Ryan’s House GOP Budget Plan
Rep. Ryan’s House GOP Budget Plan - Citizen's for Tax Justice
This is a PDF that the CTJ put together. It has some shocking numbers. I really hope that Obama sticks to his guns and doesn't let this pass. Better yet, I hope it fails to pass the Senate seeing I'm already a dirt poor college student and I really really can't afford a 12.3% tax increase.

The above site is also very cool. If you get a chance to check it out I really encourage you to do it. If you click on your state you can see who pays the most taxes in each category and in each income bracket. It's so nice to know that in Ohio I pay more than the people in the top 1% do :|

Carrying a Gun Increases Risk of Getting Shot and Killed
Carrying a Gun Increases Risk of Getting Shot and Killed - News Scientist
I think that there needs to me more emphasis in this country on if you pull a gun in a warranted situation that you have to use it. I think too many people get guns and aren't willing to use it once it's pulled. We also don't have enough stuff on gun safety when it comes to kids. There's been kids who take them to school and kill their classmates on accident when they're in the first grade! It's crazy.
I think having hand guns, rifles and shot guns are ok but you don't need an AK-47 to go kill a deer. Or any automatic gun for that matter. I think the NRA gets a little too 'gun crazy' at times.
And for those people who are freaking out about crime rates going up or how high the crime rate is, I wonder if they've taken the time to stop and think about what this country is doing to help those rates go up. The federal government is cutting money for law enforcement, states are cutting money for law enforcement and money for local governments, some states are crippling law enforcement by taking their union rights away, we have high unemployment and we're cutting entitlement programs to help those people who are unemployed. What do they expect to happen?

Six Questions for Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke
Six Questions for Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke - Mother Jones
I would like to know why two Wall Street House Wives got millions of dollars. And these two wives are married to two of the people who helped to get us into this mess in the first place.
