There’s no federal law requiring paid time off for new parents, but tech company employees regularly get months. Can Facebook and reddit fix America’s maternity leave problem?

How great would that be

Today Chipotle canceled its sponsorship of a Utah Boy Scouts event because they “believed that terminating the sponsorship and remaining consistent with our policy was the right thing to do.”

This is a company with morals and values. Amazing when do something like this, it makes you appreciate them even more.

“There are district attorneys and United States attorneys out there every day squeezing ordinary citizens on sometimes very thin grounds and taking them to trial in order to make an example, as they put it. I’m really concerned that ‘too big to fail’ has become ‘too big for trial,’”

Massachusetts freshman Sen. Elizabeth Warren posing a simple question to bank regulators this past week has been viewed more than 1 million times, putting it on pace to become the consumer advocate’s most-viral video hit to-date.

John Brennan: Obama's Assassination Czar

skchgo — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 16:10:09 -0600

“This is a guy who is, for all practical purposes, President Obama’s hit man or assassination czar. This guy has been at the center of a secret process where the White House is deciding who lives and who dies around the world every day, and yet the conversation that took place was as though they were, you know, sort of talking about whether or not they’re going to add a wing onto a school in Idaho or something, when they were talking about life-and-death issues for people, not only U.S. citizens, but around the world.”

Brian Williams: Telling It Like It Is

Brian Williams said this about The Donald after his twitter rant,

“Donald Trump who has driven the last exit to relevant and veered into something close to irresponsible here”

And I believe this is what it looks like when someone is about to drown from relevancy:

TRUTH.

Romney in June: “He wants another stimulus, he wants to hire more government workers,” Mr. Romney said of Mr. Obama. “He says we need more fireman, more policeman, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It’s time for us to cut back on government and help the American people.”

In case you forgot

Nuff said.
