"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

38 years ago, for the second straight start, Toronto Blue Jays ace Dave Stieb lost a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth.
This time Orioles pinch-hitter Jim Traber blooped a single just over first baseman Fred McGriff's head.
Stieb settled for his second straight one-hitter in the Jays' 4-0 win

Final: Brewers 3, Cardinals 2
In what was quite likely a preview of how the Brewers will handle games in the postseason on the mound (plus Uribe and Megill), Milwaukee picks up win number 102.
One hundred and two. That is not a typo.
The record: 102-59

Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978?
50%? 100%? 500%?
Try 1,316%
Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
