Gustavo Arellano on the importance of supporting Mexican trade crafts, especially in this time of recession and narco wars down there.
I’m sure a pack of nativist bastards will attack him for the article, but it’s a good sentiment, as well as good for the folks who work hard and are having a hard time gaining any benefit from it.
A great look at the dollars and cents of health care reform versus just making shit up.
Yes, health care reform is going to cost a lot to set up. It is also going to save us a lot of money once it is up and running. That’s the projections from the guys with slide rules and charts and such.
As for Bush, the so-called fiscal conservative? He just rammed a bunch of tax cuts for the rich down our throats and a ton of unfunded mandates and a couple wars. We’ll be the better part of this century paying for his bad ideas.

Beck encourages his angry mob followers to quit churches who teach social justice.
So…just to be clear: if your pastor or priest is exhorting you to act Christ-like, Glenn Beck wants you to leave the congregation. If your pastor is screaming at you to hate people who don’t look or think like you, to encourage you to pray for the President’s death, and to carry guns to church and vote straight ticket Rethug, then he’s apparently the “right” kind of “Christian”.
These people are just plain odious.
