Labor chief blasts WALMART’s plan to hire returning military vets

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka bashed President Obama and Vice President Biden for “valorizing” Walmart pledges to hire returning veterans.

“Walmart’s recent announcement of a plan to hire returning honorably discharged veterans is more about public relations than honoring our heroes,” Trumka said. “That this effort was valorized by President Obama and Vice President Biden reflects an acceptance of economic failure out of line with America’s history or future.

As a result of the absolutely stunning 29-23 overtime victoryby the Denver Broncos over the Pittsburgh Steelers, it seems inevitable that “Tebow Time” will become a household phrase all over America. The string of last second victories that we have seen Tim Tebow pull out this season is unprecedented and we will probably never see anything quite like it again. Unfortunately, miracles don’t always happen in real life when we need [...]

Only two days earlier, Panetta had announced that Carmona would head a special panel to examine operations at the military’s Dover mortuary, which has been rocked in recent days by [...]

KRUGMAN: Bush, Giuliani ‘fake heroes’ who cashed in ‘on the horror’

The Years of Shame

Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued?

Actually, I don’t think it’s me, and it’s not really that odd.

What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. Te atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes [...]

Good morning gang…………………….better late than never?

Stocks broke out of the corral by smashing down the north boundary. The close above 1150 was a key area to even amateur chartists, and this likely will result in additional buying as we did not see much positive tick for the first 3 days of the month. This should mean that there is money available from the institutions that they did not spend [...]
