Bigoted New Hampshire Cop Finally Resigns

Richard Copeland, the New Hampshire police commissioner of this post, finally resigned. His desk is cleaned out, his locker is emptied, and his white sheets with eye-holes are back at his house. That's a very good thing, because Wolfeboro, New Hampshire can do a lot better than a rude, vocal bigot for a police commissioner.

The remaining question some of us have is whether or not there are any other police officers who encourage violence for reasons of bigotry in American small towns and cities.

Obama Believes In Paying Walmart Employees Enough To Live

This is one of the reasons I voted for President Obama. A job at a place like Walmart is no guarantee of health insurance, enough money for food to feed one's family, or enough money for a babysitter, should a worker's supervisor refuse to adjust the worker's schedule to accomodate caring for children. Every underpaid worker represents support that is required from government programs that should be available from wages through employment. In the cases of many Walmart employees, it isn't. Like it or not, Republicans, America's population is large enough to require a certain amount of government and socialization.
