Bring Out Your Dead

Killing the Buddha points to this piece that talks about the number of work-related deaths in this country verse combat deaths over the same periods. The numbers are astounding. This is how we mark progress: death on the job, just not so much of it. An average 15 corpses and 10,950 maimed or hurting workers at day’s end; could be worse. It probably is worse, actually. Because of under-reporting, the number of injured workers every year is likely closer to 12 million than the official 4 million.

I don’t have to worry about Canada this year

h/t David at Joho This is the first time in a long time when I haven’t even had to joke about moving to Canada. I did start thinking, where do Republicans threaten to move to? There really is no country that repressive, except for Saudi Arabia, and I don’t think they’d go there because of all the colored people. Perhaps that’s why they are so intent on tearing this country apart, so they have a place to move to. Election 2008, humor

Sotomayor Nomination

Frank Rice has a good piece on the Sotomayor nomination today, and how it the process highlights how difference is threatening to some people, even though difference is becoming more normative. See also Stewart and Colbert. Unfortunately, while Rich focuses on Latino/a aspects, I think he misses the larger issue of how we all fear difference. For example, this type of fear applies to Muslims, but also emanates from Muslims. Hopefully, the recent experiences with Pres. Obama and Sotomayor help highlight how we fear difference and how we can overcome it.

  2. I don’t think Chaney will be going anywhere unless he and Bush are impeached, but perhaps better days are to come for America now.

  3. Here, here. . .Rummy turned out to have less than a stellar mind and little heart. I’m sorry that I had to live through it and hundreds of thousands had to die due to his shoddy work.
