Wall Street Journal complains about workers using their sick days | Boing Boing

"Just to be clear: the idea that sick days somehow impose a financial burden of the company is a blatant lie of criminal proportions. It is a justification for wage theft — the most common and most costly form of burglary in America. Sick days are part of an employees' compensation package; therefore, sick days are just another form of money owed to the workers."

So the IDF is claiming that the hospital bombing was the result of a rocket of the Islamic Jihad's , a failed rocket launch, one of many set off in a cluster. Of course, Islamic Jihad is denying this, and I don't want to point fingers until I see analysis by trustworthy sources without an iron in this fight, except to say, this was just another horrible fruit of human evil.

Israel-Hamas Moral Equation Must Have Humans on Both Sides

Jonathan Chait exactly hits it regarding civilian deaths with this one, as far as I'm concerned. Read it.

"Whatever calculation you make must begin with the premise that the deaths of innocent people are evil. I simply don’t know what the answer is. What I do know is that any ideology that is not bounded by a recognition of universal humanity is too dangerous to be let loose upon the world."

Growing strain of evangelicalism preaches 'hostility' towards poor Americans: Report - Raw Story

Anti-Christian Christianity. A total repudiation Jesus' teachings on caring for the poor and needy. Whether you believe or not, it's pretty clear that's what Jesus told his followers to do, that doing it was the same as doing it to/for him. Also, ignores the story of Job.

Funny how people justify the darkness in their hearts by calling it God's will...
