I hope everyone will head over to DailyKos for Larry Kissell's first post. He is hoping to post shortly after noon tomorrow. He will cross post here and MyDD.
I will send out emails with links and will post them here.
There's nothing I dislike more than being wrong. I would love to be able to say it doesn't happen often....but it does. At my age, I've learned it is always best to admit, apologize and move on. That being said, I made a big oooops in my Kissell/Hayes article last week.
Read what I learned from my mistake on the flip side...
Sorry for the title, but this is just about the dumbest argument against a minimum wage increase that I've ever heard:
He says the higher the wage, the more likely minimum-wage jobs will attract people into the work force who haven't been seeking jobs in the past. Who are those people? Teenagers from wealthy families. Those teens begin to crowd out other teens and adults for minimum-wage jobs, so the higher minimum wage actually makes it harder for a low-income adult to find a job to support his family.
Right. Chase and Brittany, who would rather hang out at the club than flip burgers at $5.15 an hour are going to be beating down the doors to do that same job at $6.00 an hour.
Who will you encourage to vote tomorrow? You have voted for yourself, right? Word on the street is that there are no excuses. And I heard one conservative tell another that liberal turnout would be low because we'll all be at home smokin' weed and listening to Pink Floyd while munching on granola. Let's show 'em! (You can put the granola in a baggie and take it with you; best to leave the other stuff at home.)
CQ Politics has released lists of the best-funded congressional candidates in several categories. There is one North Carolinian on the list, under Challengers to House Incumbents:
• Heath Shuler, Democrat, North Carolina 11: $552,304 (Republican Rep. Charles H. Taylor)
Vernon Robinson, the self-proclaimed Black Jesse Helms, has launched his first insane radio ad against Brad Miller. Brad Miller provides the audio here.
It looks like Robinson is using lies about immigration and gay marriage to smear Brad Miller:
If Miller had his way, America would be one big fiesta for aliens and homosexuals
To stop these attacks, go to Brad Miller.org and give him your support.
