Repugs on a roll: gunmaker protection, cheeseburger bill, min-wage $5, and refuge drilling One might think that with leaders in House and Senate in legal jeopardy and Bush/Cheney's top two minions facing indictments (if not Cheney himself), that the repugs might slow down a bit. Instead, it's full steam ahead for corporate protection and the screwing of workers, consumers, and the environment.
Stories below on gunmaker protection, fast food industry protection, minimum-wage-earner fuckover, and refuge drilling. These in just the last day or so -- of course, they have recentl...

How to honestly report inflation rate "What if the media reported the annualized number?"
That's what someone asked on the Prudent Bear board recently. It is a good question because while the financial media reported the CPI rate of 1.2% last month, they also gave equal time to the useless Core CPI numbers.
