Barely Catholic university decides that hosting an unrepentent, violent, 60's radical perhaps isn't a great idea after all.

Ayers... was due to speak at Boston College on education reform and civic engagement at the invitation of Americans for Informed Democracy and the College Democrats.

Today's morons?  The geniuses who run the nominally Catholic university known as Boston College.

What generates more controversy at nominally Catholic university Boston College: A crucifix in the classroom, or an unrepentant domestic terrorist in a lecture hall?

Based on the media coverage and faculty reaction, it's the crucifix.  Because terrorist William Ayers is speaking at Boston College this Monday, and nobody seems to care.

Joy - here's where I get to show-off what a moron I am.  Oh well, here goes.

I keep hearing/reading about The Dangers of Deflation^TM - and that's why we need to prime, prime, prime the pump of the economy.  In theory, I get it - if you know something is going to be cheaper 6-months from now you're not going to buy that something for 6-months, only to put it off again when you realize it will be even cheaper if you wait longer.  For a consumer based economy such as ours, I understand that to be the so-called Death Spiral of prices, wages, jobs, etc.

Like I said, I get that much.

Today's idiot?  Union tool Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake...

...increased wages for working people would mean "increased spending power of lower income consumers," which would mean that even if Wal-Mart was successfully unionized -- a big if -- they could make up the cost of higher wages with an increase in sales.

So I suppose we can officially say that Dissent is no longer the Highest form of Patriotism^TM.

How's about this for some dissent Schaeffer - go fuck yourself.

For example, I learned today that there are actually people in Gotham who evidently feel that taxes aren't high enough.

Organizers estimate that 50,000 people have lined Broadway with a message to Gov. David Paterson that cuts are not the answer to fixing New York's budget problems.

The protesters are made up of a widespread coalition of labor unions, community groups, and even families uniting to have their voices heard.
