| Hundreds of physicians have said they would refuse to comply, even though it could mean the loss of overtime payment. Starting on Wednesday, the nations hospital doctors are required to punch time clocks, or register their start and end of work, via a special cellular phone program. This implements a section of the Israel Medical Association agreement with the government reached last August. Earlier this week, the Health Ministry issued instructions to all hospital directors that they introduce work-monitoring systems. The ministry said on Wednesday night that 60 percent of government hospital doctors, and a similar rate in Clalit Health... |
Time Magazine caught at it again

| January 16th edition. When did you ever see a menacing Obama with all the pores and lines on his face visible on a Time cover? None that I know of. Regardless of what you think of Mitt Romney (and he's not the most beloved guy on FR for sure), this was a blatantly cheap, low-class thing to do. Time has a lengthy history of doing this to Republican figures (think the November '10 cover of John Boehner) |
Times POTY: The Protester (Nostlagia and Nonsense)

| Really? The most influential and newsworthy person of the year currently occupies space in urban downtown areas, unless youâre on the West Coast, where you can find them hanging out at the docks, blocking traffic and making your cost of goods needlessly increase. At least thatâs how Time Magazine sees it, and they get there by conflating the Arab Spring protests with the labor-driven Occupy âmovement,â which is collapsing from its own meaninglessness: Once upon a time, when major news events were chronicled strictly by professionals and printed on paper or transmitted through the air by the few for the... |
Time magazine names Occupy Wall Street the No. 1 U.S. news story of 2011

| However wrong the rankings might be, I have to admit Timeâs âBest of Everythingâ lists are pretty fun to browse. In fact, if I made a list of reasons to check Time.com, the magazineâs immortal lists would be the first and last item on it.But, really? The journalists at Time think âOccupy Wall Streetâ is the No. 1 U.S. news story of the year â ahead of the GOP primaries, the economy, the Gabby Giffords shooting and the debt ceiling crisis? What, oh what, was the rationale? I know youâre dying to read this: To some, Occupy Wall Street is... |
Should we make Congress a Part time body?

| Mark Twain is credited with the witticism that says, No mans life, liberty or property is safe while Congress is in session. There is no telling what Mark Twain would say if he could see todays Congress. Humor aside, the remark is right on target. What can we do about it? Rick Perry has a pretty good idea about what we can do about Congress. Make it part time. Congress spends far too much time in Washington and there is little they do that we can really consider worthwhile. What does Congress do? For starters, it spends money. It spends... |

TIME MAG- Racism is Fun? Why Rick Perry's flirtation with birtherism is racist

Posted by admin / Under Time (Steeleye Span Album)
| Earlier this week, Rick Perry said, Its fun to poke at [Obama] a little bit and say, Hey, lets see your grades and your birth certificate. And why shouldnt he find birtherism fun? Racism is supposed to be fun for white people who choose to engage in it. I mean, its gotta be fun to be powerful and dominant and flaunt white privilege. Right? In a country where lynchings once doubled an occasion for barbeques the strangling and perhaps burning of a Black body as the central performance act at a pleasant Southern picnic why shouldnt racism be... |

Why You Shouldn't Compare Occupy Wall Street to the Tea Party (Massive Barf Alert!)

| With the Occupy Wall Street protests gaining steam in the U.S., it seems obvious to link it with the other grassroots movement that recently shook up American politics the Tea Party. My colleagues' pieces number among a flurry of others pondering the parallel. Michael Scherer recast Occupy Wall Street as the Tea Party of the American left. Roya Wolverson suggested how the two movements, coming from diametrically-opposed sides of the political spectrum, could find common ground (and perhaps actual policy influence) in their mutual distaste for a Washington dominated by the vested interests of corporations. But while the similarities... |
