Since 6:00 this morning I\u2019ve been looking for a solution to our comment editor problem.  I finally figured out that the editor will allow me (administrator) to embed a graphic, but when anyone else does it, the graphic shows in the editor, but does not pass through to the comment.  I\u2019ve checked with my HSP, and the problem is with the plugin, not the blog.  I have a bug report posted in the author\u2019s forum.  Nameless, if you need a graphic embedded, post the comment, email me the link to it, and tell me to which comment you want it added.  Hopefully it will be fixed soon .  Because I had to put so much into that effort, I shall post a couple articles today, but will not distribute them to sties like Care2 and SU until tomorrow.  I\u2019m current on replies.  We\u2019ll see about tomorrow tomorrow.<\/font><\/p>\n

We still need to move forward to Single Payer, such as Medicare for all, but Obamacare is a start.<\/font><\/p>\n

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>Conservatives love to pretend that there are vast armies of government bureaucrats doing who knows what; in reality, a majority of government workers are employed providing either education (teachers) or public protection (police officers and firefighters). <\/p>\n

So would getting rid of teachers, police officers, and firefighters help the American people? Well, some Republicans would prefer to see Americans get less education; remember Rick Santorum\u2019s description of colleges as \u201cindoctrination mills\u201d? Still, neither less education nor worse protection are issues the G.O.P. wants to run on. <\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why we need to keep pinning the truth onto them.  Click through for the rest of this excellent editorial by Paul Krugman.<\/font><\/p>\n

Kudos to some very feisty Democrats. The Republican War on Women is clearly alive and well in the Totalitarian Managed Plutocracy of Snyderstan. The 1st Amendment does not apply in Republican dominated legislatures.<\/font><\/p>\n
