They are more and more unbelievable every day.

Throw the lot of them in jail for contempt of court now! They’re certainly displaying plenty!

The Tea Party Is Getting Its Own NASCAR Truck → mediaite.com

The jokes write themselves, kids:

While the Republican Party still doesn’t have any front runners in the 2012 presidential race, the Tea Party will soon be looking to take the lead in a different type of race. Chris Lafferty, a driver in the Camping World Truck Series, will soon be taking the lanes in the official “We the People” truck.

It’s just too easy…

“The Social Security system, in my opinion, is a flawed design, period. But having said that, the design would work a lot better if we had stable demographic trends. We don’t have enough workers to support the retirees … . A third of the young people in America are not in America today because of abortion.” — Rick Santorum, frothing with rage over Social Security’s woes. The pure illogical idiocy of this statement astounds me. Because social support for these children of unplanned pregnancies costs nothing, right? Ask Romania about forced birth and get back to us, mmkay?

Class Warrior and Kick-Ass Writer Joe Bageant, 64, Dead of Cancer → crooksandliars.com

You left us at the wrong time, Joe. I don’t think there would ever be a right time though.

I emailed him a few years ago, got to talk to him a few times on the phone. He was an amazingly interesting person and a true working class hero.

Walker Administration Announces Implementation Of Anti-Union Law, Despite Judge's Order Against Publication → tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com

The administration of Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) has begun implementing its controversial new law curtailing public employee unions, following a move on Friday declaring it be in effect, and despite a judge’s ruling that enjoined said implementation.

“It is now my legal responsibility to begin enactment of the law,” Secretary of Administration Mike Huebsch, a former Republican state Assembly Speaker, told reporters, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Huebsch said that the state will begin withholding pension and health benefits contributions from government employees’ paychecks, while also no longer automatically deducting union dues. The first paychecks to be affected will be April 21.

Does contempt of court exist in Wisconsin? Scott Walker and company are certainly displaying plenty of contempt for the court…

Women hit hardest by global crisis, attacks on public sector unions → workers.org

leftliberty:

It is important to use International Women’s Day, a socialist anniversary, to help unite and advance the struggles today.

The capitalist crisis is a declaration of war against the working class, which has deeply impacted women. More than two-thirds of the 1 billion people living on less than $1 per day are women and children; the majority of them live in rural and agricultural areas.

Almost twice as many women as men worldwide are illiterate — 600 million women to 320 million men. More than 500,000 women die each year during pregnancy or in childbirth, 99 percent of them in developing countries.

Women are primarily responsible for the world’s unpaid work, estimated in the trillions of dollars, for raising children and caring for the sick and elderly. Insufficient access to sanitation increases risks to the hygiene of women and their families. On average women spend more than two hours a day simply collecting water.

Women grow half of the world’s food. Rural women are responsible for 60 to 80 percent of food production in developing countries. In sub-Saharan Africa, small-scale farmers are predominantly women, due to the high rates of male migration to cities to find jobs.

Exorbitant costs of food staples, along with other austerity measures, were answered by righteous revolts in Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and elsewhere.

Women from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean make up the vast majority of migrant workers. Remittances from their incomes account for as much as 10 percent of the gross domestic product in some countries. In 2008 remittances were estimated by the World Bank at $305 billion.

The overall status of women worldwide helps to put the status of working and poor women in the U.S. into perspective. The economic gap between women in the East and the West is not expanding but contracting.

Educate yourself.
