| What Would a Republican Conference Be Without Racial Controversy? | |
| From truthdig: Republicans are still working their way through the five stages of having a black president: denial (birthers), anger (town halls), bargaining (debt ceiling), depression (John Boehner?s tears) and, finally, racially charged jokes, like those told at the Republican Leadership Conference. In the video below, Obama impersonator Reggie Brown jokes before guffawing GOPers about the president?s race. Eventually, he gets yanked off stage, but only after focusing on some Republican targets, including Michele Bachmann. The RLC released a statement saying Brown got the hook for his insensitive jokes, but the comedian thinks he was over time and ?the material was starting to get to a point to where maybe they started to feel uncomfortable with where it was going,? as in ?going? after Republicans. You be the judge. ?PZS Uploaded by CSPAN on 20 Jun 2011 Seen on C-SPAN: Obama impersonator Reggie Brown performed during the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans.

| 1.5 Million Female Wal-Mart Employees Lose Historic Sex Discrimination Case in Supreme Court | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 21 Jun 2011 DemocracyNow.org - The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed the largest class action lawsuit in history filed by 1.5 million current and former female employees of Walmart, who say they were allegedly paid less and promoted less often than their male counterparts. The Court found women who worked at Walmart did not have enough in common to constitute a "class" in a class-action lawsuit. It did not address whether Walmart had discriminated against women, but in writing for the minority in part of the court's ruling, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote, that the "plaintiffs' evidence, including class members' tales of their own experiences, suggests that gender bias suffused Walmart's company culture." Democracy Now! interviews former Walmart employee Stephanie Odle, one of the original plaintiffs in the case, and to Liza Featherstone about the "limits of a courtroom remedy" in this case. Featherstone is the author of the book, "Selling Women Short: The Landmark Battle for Worker's Rights at Wal-Mart." | |

| Zombies Vs. the Canadian Tar Sands | |
| *Tar Sands Undead Walk London Ontario Canada, June 18th 2011* The main reason is that extracting the oil from the sand is so energy intensive, from the large machines to the natural gas used to melt the bitumen out of the sand. It is estimated that by 2012 the Tar Sands will use as much gas as is needed to heat all the homes in Canada ... Using huge amounts of relatively clean burning natural gas in order to produce dirty and carbon heavy oil is what commentators have dubbed | |
