Caterpillar announced that they're cutting 20,000 jobs worldwide. Big-time yikes, especially considering my stepbrother works at their Joliet plant.

Illinois politics have always been a source of entertainment for those living outside the state. Some things never change.

Especially others in the Midwest. It's much more fun to read about Gov. Blago than Michigan's shiny new double-digit unemployment rate.

So Illinoisians aren't entertained by their governor ignoring his impeachment procedings to go on The View? I mean, it's not even a *good* talk show!

I think he'll regret it (as much as he's able to experience such an emotion). The View played hardball with guests during the campaign in a way that put Meet The Press and the rest to shame.

It is like those Popes in the middle ages!

Speaking of popes, and the middle ages, and shame, it appears that Pope Palpatine is stepping up in defense of yet another unfairly maligned minority: Holocaust deniers. [link]

OMG, I just saw one of the kittens clawing it's way up the x-pen. And another must have been doing the same thing because a fuzzy blur appeared in front of the camera.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'll let Illinoisians speak for themselves. But I'd have felt less entertained if the shenanigans had actually affected my life.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Speaking of popes, and the middle ages, and shame, it appears that Pope Palpatine is stepping up in defense of yet another unfairly maligned minority: Holocaust deniers

I think he's a rotten guy and a rotten Pope, but unless I'm misreading he's not really propping up Holocaust Deniers, he's lifting the excommunication on two particular Holocaust Deniers since Holocaust Denying (while odious) isn't really a violation of Roman Catholic doctrine.

None of which makes any of them good guys, but its not quite the same thing.

The problem with the pope lifting the excommunication on those people is that they're advocating getting rid of everything Vatican 2 and after, including the repudiation of the blood libel of the Jews. So letting these St. Pius X people back in the fold is, by extension, a tacit support of their beliefs.
