5/1 Mike Luckovich cartoon: Romney on Osama bin Laden
1. Here's a short and sweet video of a recent "new" topic of conversation - the President's address to the White House correspondents press corp:
2. The etch-a-sketch campaign strategy is going to be impossible for his Mittness to pull off. He should realize that he there is a vault full of print, video, and audio of his past statement on file, and readily referenced every time he opens his mouth to utter a revised position:
3. Stephen King has written an opinion, and it is NOT fiction. He, as one of the 1%, would like his tax bracket to take responsibility and assume a larger tax liability obligation. It is true, and it scares the filthy rich that he is saying it:
4. This article is worth your time. It speaks to the evils of Capitalism, but don't get hung up on references to Marx. Approach it and read it as a collection of all the teaching points and references associated with a Liberal Arts education. It is somber in tone, and yet by its content it cries out a warning to us - we are killing the civilization:
5. Today is MAY day. Much historical reference is associated with this date. I just saw a news alert from the LA Times that many streets in Los Angeles will be closed because of the expected "protest parades"......that's all it said...with no reference as to what is being protested. In that vein, Noam Chomsky comes in with this piece on the act of marching and protesting is the push-back to what many see as the only alternative remaining:
6. Eugene Robinson is here to report on the continuing efforts by the Republican Party to suppress the voter turnout of those who are statistically not going to vote for them. If you can't win it at the ballot box, then put the ballot box out of reach to improve your chances of winning. Is this a great country or what?:
7. The following column is a very honest and true assessment of the ethical climate of Mexico. It expresses a feeling that many of us who have roots in/from Mexico understand, and why relatives have found it difficult to work with the "gringo" ethic when confronted with the way of doing business south of the border. However, we all know, and are expected to follow the law. I was well aware of, and had to sign my name to a document each year with Delta Air Lines, that I would comply with the Foreign Corruption Practices Act in all my work in foreign countries. Walmart is no exception, even though Mexico expects the under table payment to grease the skids:
