The news is a couple of days old now, but I am still pissed.

ABC has announced the cancellation of All My Children and One Life to Live.

Their replacements will be a food show and some kind of rip off of Biggest Loser.
With all that kind of crap already on other channels, do they seriously think they are going to find an audience?

The only thing they can be benefitting from would be a smaller budget for those shows.

I am predicting that they will stink in the ratings and will disappear FAST.

Meanwhile they are killing shows that are over 40 years old and a part of many of our lives.

Bite me ABC.

Who needs sick time...


Wisconsin Republicans Repeal Paid Sick Leave
posted by: Robin Marty

First, the union workers in Wisconsin nearly lost their right to collective bargaining, with Gov. Scott Walker illegally passing legislation without a quorum in senate and then defying a court order and publishing the law in an attempt to make it official while waiting for a court ruling on the law.

Now, just as I predicted a few weeks ago, the Republicans in the state have done away with Milwaukee's ordinance mandating that all companies above 10 employees must provide at least five days of paid sick leave per year. And to ensure that employees have no rights, they've broadened the ban on requiring paid sick leave to the entire state.

Ariz. plows controversial ground with birther bill
By JACQUES BILLEAUD, Associated Press Jacques Billeaud, Associated Press

.PHOENIX – Arizona, a state that has shown little reluctance in bucking the federal government, is again plowing controversial political ground, this time as its Legislature passed a bill to require President Barack Obama and other presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship before their names can appear on the state's ballot.

If Gov. Jan Brewer signs the proposal into law, Arizona would be the first state to pass such a requirement — potentially forcing a court to decide whether the president's birth certificate is enough to prove he can legally run for re-election. Hawaii officials have certified Obama was born in that state, but so-called "birthers" have demanded more proof.

Opponents say Arizona's bill gives the state another black eye after lawmakers approved a controversial immigration enforcement law last year, considered legislation asserting state rights, and made it illegal to create "human-animal" hybrids by fertilizing human eggs with nonhuman sperm and vice versa.

"Arizona is in the midst of a fiscal crisis. We've cut school funding. And they pass a bill questioning Obama's citizenship? For real?" said Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Phoenix, an opponent of the bill.

Republican Rep. Carl Seel of Phoenix, the bill's author, said the president's birth record wouldn't satisfy the requirements of his proposal and that Obama would have to provide other records, such as baptismal certificates and hospital records. But Seel said the measure wasn't intended as a swipe against the president and instead was meant to maintain the integrity of elections.

With Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, New Jersey, and Florida leading the news of political take overs, I am so glad Minnesota Democrats managed to hold on to the Governorship......


We talked about Scott Walker's Orwellian rhetoric yesterday, but Michigan Tea Party Gov. Rick Snyder leaves Walker in the dust when it comes to turning the book "1984" into a reality.

Snyder recently signed a bill that gives him powers to unilaterally take over local governments by appointing "emergency financial managers" with near absolute powers to supersede decisions made by democratically elected officials.

If this strikes some as an example of the type of governmental tyranny that the Tea Party deplored (but never existed before in a state as far as we know), that is because it is.

The Tea Party - and the Republican Party - have shouted to the rooftops that local government and individual liberties are the true "patriotic" freedoms in America.

Yet, they elect a governor in Michigan who - as one of his first pieces of legislation - empowers himself to take those rights away, nullifying the will of the voters in a given town or city.

Snyder just made Orwellian Tea Party history when his appointed "emergency financial manager" for Benton Harbor, Michigan, prohibited elected officials of that city from making any decisions or otherwise carrying out their duties.

As an outraged Michigan blogger observes:

This is a complete disenfranchisement of an entire community, an entire city in my state. The voters are now denied the ability to be governed by the people they elected in a democratic election.

This is nothing short of an abridgment of democracy in raw form.

So where are the Tea Party's "Down With Tyranny" signs when you need them?
