thom can you explain to us once again ,how mitt romney created his wealth?
CREDIT CHECKS for Jobs?
Thom: please cover this serious topic of how employers, including the federal government, run credit checks as part of their background checks for most potential hires (even non-financial positions). It is good business for credit bureaus, good business for the government contractor firms who perform these checks... But a disaster and possibly a discriminatory practice for many non-wealthy Americans who are just trying to earn a living. This practice is classism, at least.

Thom - I wish you would not have contacted PETA to discuss animal rights. They are about as educated on animal rights as Sarah Palin is on foreign policy.
Science News - "Magic" Energy Box
The Bloom Box may be an important future source of clean energy. This story was featured on last Sunday's "60 Minutes." A shorter story was hightlighted on MSNBC. Fascinating (video):

It is interesting that, just as majority leader Steny Hoyer started to introduce the idea of the public option, TV channels that were carrying the health care meeting went to commercials.
