In the past I have covered Facebook posts leading to people losing their jobs, but a new article places a whole new twist on this: Two students have been suspended, and one student has been expelled, over negative Facebook postings they made about a teacher. The individuals are in seventh grade at Chapel Hill Middle […]
Last night Keith Olbermann issued the following statement: A STATEMENT TO THE VIEWERS OF COUNTDOWN by Keith Olbermann I want to sincerely thank you for the honor of your extraordinary and ground-rattling support.

The sage of Target dumping money into political races has been interesting, if not short-lived. Let’s a quick timeline: July 25th – it was revealed that the Target Corp. funneled $150,000 to a right-wing homophobic PAC. July 27th – Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel defends the donations, saying “Target’s political donations are intended to support business […]
This will be the dominating news story for the next week: The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan has been summoned to Washington to explain his controversial comments about colleagues in a recent interview, an Obama administration official said Tuesday.

So now that Mark Sanford has become a lying, cheating, and down right idiotic person, how does FOX treat the news? Well KOS shows us: Every damn time. And I am sure we will hear an apology from them in the next day or so. Just like every other time in the past. Just save […]
