The Supreme Court has just decided that if companies really really mean it, it\u2019s ok for them to decide they won\u2019t provide coverage for birth control for slutty slutty slutbag women, but hey, there was no real difference between Bush and Gore, right?<\/p>\n
Do me a favor: if you voted for Nader in 2000, don\u2019t let me know. \u00a0I don\u2019t care where you lived, I don\u2019t care what you were thinking. \u00a0Politics is real life. \u00a0If you wanted to dream, you should have been a theater major. \u00a0I\u2019m just better off not knowing.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Republican dream of the New Feudalism continues. \u00a0No wonder they don\u2019t talk about jobs sitting on this kind of real unemployment – it\u2019s a buyer\u2019s marker for labor.

And employers get to revert to the kind of full control over their employees\u2019 lives we saw in the company towns of the deep South. \u00a0And it all comes full circle.<\/p>\n
Individual freedom is for rich people. \u00a0If you work for somebody else, or have the temerity to have a vagina, shut up and get back to work. \u00a0That\u2019s the new American dream. \u00a0If you don\u2019t like it, lace up your boots and start punching back. Hard. \u00a0If this is enough to keep the GOP out of the Senate another two years, then we can at least make lemonade from the biggest sour lemon of the term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
