@brandzel: Interdependence or Death - AZ cut taxes...
For those caught in the right-wing Island Delusion, people are all naturally and fundamentally separate. Only the money they can individually accumulate, or the guns they can personally own will keep them and their loved ones safe.

Palin plays the victim while rest of country...

AT&T able to capture sex offenders, still can't...
An AT&T worker making a service call in suburban Lombard ended up discovering a child pornography collection on a customer’s computer, leading to an arrest this week. [via huffingtonpost.com] Why do all sex offenders look like this guy? I think I am in favor of “profiling” when it comes to pedophiles.
