Get out the vote, avoid traffic, wear pajamas
There’s still time to make a difference. Make calls from home.

It’s the economy, baby
“Abortions declined in the U.S. in the Clinton years; the abortion rate dropped by 22 percent in the 1990's. But while data are incomplete, abortions appear to have increased sharply since Mr. Bush took office. Glen H. Stassen, a Christian pro-life theologian, estimates that 52,000 more abortions occurred in 2002 than would have been expected based on the previous trend. Professor Stassen attributes the rise in abortions in part to the troubled economy and concerns among pregnant women that they cannot afford to have babies.”

BellSouth fleecing FEMA and you
The Urban Farm Report has learned from a source inside BellSouth that the telecommunications giant has ordered 12-hour, 7-day weeks for many of its repair workers in Florida through November. The move, according to our source, is to ensure all Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hurricane recovery money awarded to the phone company is spent.
Yet the actual work needed was apparently overestimated and has been finished for several weeks now. Most of my source’s time is spent sitting in an air-conditioned truck with the engine running, listening to conservative talk radio. Base pay is some $26 per hour, putting overtime at nearly $40.
When I was in Orlando walking the neighborhoods, I noticed myriad roofs covered with blue FEMA tarpaulins. The roofing companies should get some of that federal money wasted by Ma Bell and pass it on to homeowners. What would you rather have, a phone with a repairperson wasting time in her truck or your roof replaced?
Jeb Bush is the governor; George Bush was down there showing so much concern. Seems "conservatives" would have been a bit more involved with how the money is being spent. Unless, of course, BellSouth campaign contributions had something to do with it.
