Freedom of advertising
Environmental activists are asking Home Depot to stop advertising on Fox News because its on-air personalities often blow off global warming as liberal hysteria. Several groups, including Moveon.org are dropping off copies of a petition tomorrow to Home Depot stores around the country. So far, Home Depot says the ads are staying put because "we're advertisers, not censors."

Someone has forgotten teachers. Contrary to public oppinion all those days off in the summer is unpaid as is the numerous vacations such as Christmas or winter break and spring break or Easter. I worked as a teacher for 30 years and made very little until the last ten years of my career and then there still were no paid vacations. Six days counted as holidays paid, which included Christmas and New years day, MLK, labor day, memorial day, and 4th of July. It also included 10 sick days a year paid. One or two of those could be personal days. The out by the school board was that we signed a 10 month contract. How many other professionals run into the same problem? Doctors? Lawyers? News reporters? Most of my colleagues worked through the summer at a second job. Many beginning teachers work all year the first 10 to 15 years at a second job,just to keep body and soul together.

I've just listened to Mr. Stein's concern for the poor working man. No doubt he drove his Bronco to the station to make his plea for the common man. Honestly, Ben Stein weeping for the common man's fate? After my sides stopped hurting from laughing ...
