End of the month events

Well I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving holiday. We did. Went to Portland OR and was a good time with my mom and two sisters. We drove up on Tuesday and came back Saturday. Long drive but better then flying these days.

But since took most of last week off, have to finish up last weeks work by end of business today so another busy day here.

Lot of stuff in the news as well.

Is English Only legal at work? If the worker is on their own time (lunch or break) and speak another language, I shouldn't care. But on the factory floor, yes I think there is a legitimate requirement for English Only and if a worker is not able to speak, read, comprehend English then that is legitimate grounds for not offering them a job.

A politician learns the hard way he works for the public. A mayor in Colorado is surprised the voters turned him out of office after he took a position that was in opposition to the will of the voters. He had seem to forget he works for the citizens and is not a king who knows best regardless of the wishes of the citizens.

Now a Muslim is demanding Mitt Romney put a practicing Muslim in the cabinet because only a Muslim will understand Islamic Jihad. If a Jew or Christian or atheist said that to a Democrat candidate, the papers would be all over those groups, and they should too. We want the best people in the positions of the cabinet regardless of race, sex, religion or orientation.

The story has been all over the net, a worker at PETA found she was pregnant by her boy friend and had an abortion and later was sterilized so she would be better to the planet. After all children will have a large carbon foot print. At least there will be fewer screwed up children since she won't be having any.

Stem cells from adults are just as viable or even more so the from destroyed embryos. Gee, Bush was right, again.

Haven't parents already provided this service? If a kid already has a cell phone why is the school demanding they have a school provided phone? Isn't college expensive enough?

More on the Rush Limbaugh verses the US Senate. And Congress wonders why their approval ratings are so low.

Have a good day.
