Discuss.

Please chip in $5 to help President Obama finish this campaign, or we'll have to listen to this stuff for the next four years.

According to the European Commission, “roughly 40 million Europeans are suffering ‘severe material deprivation’”, while “116 million EU citizens are judged ‘at risk of poverty.’” Yet, the continent is doubling down on the same austerity policies that have killed growth from Greece to the UK.

The hive mind stepped in with suggestions (my favorite was "You Have the Right to Remain Soylent," with "Cook 'Em, Danno" in second), but who knows what the geniuses at the Post might have come up with? It could have been another "Headless Body In Topless Bar."

Medical Bills

post from ThinkProgress on 26 October 2012 03:20:17 PM. © ThinkProgress

While politicians clash over the details of health policy and President Obama’s landmark health reform law, social media often serves to cut through the political rhetoric and reveal the human impact of what’s at stake in this debate. When a musician tweeted about her experience going without insurance and received a flood of personal 140-character [...]
