In my opinion, when Seton Motly used the term "whiny bitches" he tipped his hand as being a gay man. I don't think there are many players in the NCAA tournament throwing that term out on the court. Maybe he just hasn't come to terms with it himself. Thom, you were just polite enough not to have raised the issue.

Well I don't think Mr. Motley has ever stepped foot into a library, much less does he know how much different things people use libraries for. When we were in the Military with three children our household income was considered low income so we used the public library always. We could simply no afford to buy books. Also we checked out movie for the kids to watch and the kids would participate in the summer reading program. The library was also the first place where I've have made use of a computer. Yes this was years ago but I'm still now using the library my husband and kids still have a library card to this day. I believe the republicans want to dumb down the public any way they can,just look at the college tuitions

Privatized libraries!? Oh yeah --- ? Privatized schools. Privatized Post Office, Privatized Police and Fire -- does anyone NOT get that this is end game of Deep Water? (Hello White Rose)
Total Control of Information, in content and in exchange.

We needed to have taken the seizure of the airwaves a whole lot more seriously.
As for the Present: Please make sure your neighbor and communities see what is at stake,
and the transparency of the same old game of Creating Chaos
in order to let the "Strong Hand" take over.

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth. And I think that's even technically true, i.e. that it's not called a territory..

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
