How did the judge come to approve of the bonuses 2 weeks ago given that these monies began to be diverted a year and a half ago, the company filed for bankruptcy 11 months ago and was restructured about 9 months ago?

I can guarantee the owners will find Chinese peasants to take their jobs for less than $1 per hour,
Eventually. Maybe. But not this way. Ben Estaville is correct, obviously correct, so I can only conclude that this is yet another effort by these career politicians to stonewall, stall, misdirect, distract, take your pick.
As if Article 1, Section 5 wasn't enough, of all the reasons to end the filibuster, the cause that House Democrats are taking up (undocumented workers' path to citizenship) is beyond the pale. What standing do illegal aliens have to use US courts to force lawmakers to grant them citizenship?

I saw Hearts and Minds again last night, a documentary film that recounts the history and attitudes of the opposing sides of the Vietnam War using archival news footage as well as its own film and interviews.
A key theme is how attitudes of American racism and self-righteous militarism helped create and prolong this bloody conflict. The film also endeavors to give voice to the Vietnamese people themselves as to how the war has affected them and their reasons why they fought the United States and other western powers while showing the basic humanity of the people that US propaganda tried to dismiss.
Two quotes from the film stand out:
Gen. William Westmoreland: "The Oriental doesn't put the same high price on life as does the Westerner. Life is cheap in the Orient."
Daniel Ellsberg: "We weren't on the wrong side. We were the wrong side."
What keeps us developing these killing machines and foreign policies of aggression never changes.

I watched Hearts and Minds again last night, and I was struck by how we continue to learn nothing from our history. We're as susceptible to being lied into war by our government as ever. Our leaders play on our fears to create the means of our destruction many times over, in order to increase their own riches.

Did you know that we could pretty much keep all Americans safe from terrorists if we revoked all Constitutional rights, eavesdropped on all communications, kept Americans in small, policed neighborhoods like prison communities? It then becomes a really easy task. Look at N. Korea, with bugged housing, and Singapore with Draconian laws that have eliminated just about all crime - Even bubble-gum chewing!
They are humorless and obedient cultures, lacking innovation and sheer joy or genius.
The trick in the US is to solve our problems without impeding Constitutional rights. Both Democrats and Republicans take the easy way out (ending our rights), not for the good of the people, not to keep Americans safe, but for the further fleecing of Americans by the corporations.
You keep touting Obama's insurance bonanza bill ("already cut Medicare costs by 50%") when I keep telling you that there's a way to do it without Americans giving up their right of privacy (that's what IT for Medicare reporting has done - It's ended Americans' medical privacy).
There is a very real price paid when we lose our privacy, when we open our lives to clandestine surveillance by the government and strangers. The danger is not only in the misuse of our information, but the effect of being watched has on innovation and other aspects of culture.
