They are the same people afraid of when Iran gets nukes or afraid of when Russia, North Korea, and China team up to invade the US and crush us because our sissy president and his Marxist followers will allow us to be crushed under the yoke of COMMUNISM!!!!

Nah, Muir isn't really interested in evangelical culture or Christianity in general (except where it forms a part of Western civilization). His obsession with sex and with female nudity shows that he's thoroughly rejected purity culture. He'll probably stick with pointedly cleaning guns whenever one of his daughters brings a boy home. (There's no chance that the girls will be lesbians.)

If this were intentional he would have exaggerated the stupidity or evilness of the statement. Just using the phrase as is makes it seem like he's trying to make te boss the reasonable one.

Aside from the obvious stupidity of using the PHB as your voice of reason, HE'S NOT PAYING FOR IT ANYWAY. He's asking to specifically disallow birth control to use the bargained rates that you get when you have an insurance provider. The woman is using her own money for the birth control, just a lower price because of the idiotic way that we structure health care in this country. I mean his money is going to her salary which buys birth control so I guess he's paying for it either way, he's just choosing to do it in a way that makes it difficult to do because he's apparently an authoritarian Christian fundamentalist that wants to have power over the sexual agency of his staff.

For some reason these bosses don't give much of a poo poo over the other stuff that their insurance policies cover avoidable injuries or ailments that might result from avoidable recreational activities I wonder why that is.

Joe Biden's Plan

According to FOX News:
Biden to Miss Netanyahu Address to Congress>p /> "Vice President Biden is expected to miss Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to a joint meeting of Congress -- apparently because of overseas travel -- as several Democratic lawmakers plan to sit out the address in protest. A White House official confirmed to Fox News on Friday that the vice president will miss the address, as he will be traveling abroad. As president of the Senate, Biden would typically attend a joint meeting of Congress, putting the White House in a bind because of its irritation about Netanyahu's visit.
The White House has accused Netanyahu and congressional Republicans of breaching diplomatic protocol by arranging the address without coordinating with the administration. Biden's overseas trip allows the White House to avoid the awkwardness of having the vice president sit behind Netanyahu during the address. It's unclear where the vice president plans to travel, though his office said the unspecified trip was in the works before the prime minister's trip was announced. Netanyahu is scheduled to address Congress on March 3.
Meanwhile, at least three prominent Democratic lawmakers have vowed to boycott the speech, saying they disapprove of House Speaker John Boehner's decision to invite the Israeli leader without consulting President Obama. Reps. John Lewis of Georgia, G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina and Earl Blumenauer of Oregon announced their decisions earlier this week. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the president believes individual members of Congress should make their own decisions about whether or not to attend.
This week, officials began laying the groundwork for the prospect that Biden would skip the speech, nothing that he also missed a joint meeting of Congress in 2011 because of foreign travel."-more

Try reading your news instead of watching it? Reuters is my fav, but in general, it turns out there's a lot less bullshit when it's not a TV show meant to gather ratings.

When you read the news, you as the reader also have the advantage of being able to choose how much time you want to devote paying attention to each story. Think the latest celeb scandal isn't worth your attention? Read a different article. Imagine that!

It's a book from the 80's and it's literally called 'Is there a solution to the Palestinian problem?' in Hebrew. I didn't really have time to read a bit inside to see if it gets really awful or anything, or say get a better picture, but thought you'd "like" to see this.

Wow. I mean even if inside it's a calm, rational, unbiased examination of the complexity of the Israel-Palestine issue, that title is... unfortunate.

Like surely the author has heard the language associated with the holocaust? And isn't a fan of said holocaust??
