Oakland Police Department Faces Possible Federal Takeover If NSA
Issues Not Settled Soon *Judge Henderson,9/27/2011

Regarding the Negotiated Settlement Agreement, The Judge thinks that the OPD is sounding like a broken record. (my words) He heard the same thing, that Oakland would be in compliance by December 31, 5 years ago.

From The Bay Citizen on March 11, 2011

The police department entered into the negotiated settlement agreement in 2003 after two civil rights attorneys brought a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the department for the victims of police misconduct in the Riders case, in which four rogue police officers were accused of regularly planting evidence and beating suspects in West Oakland.

Predator Drones have become the weapon of choice lately. Libya, Anwar al-Awlaki, for example. Wait, what?

A computer virus has infected the cockpits of America’s Predator and Reaper drones, logging pilots’ every keystroke as they remotely fly missions over Afghanistan and other warzones.

I get a call from the NFIB about every 3 or 4 weeks it seems. They start off with some GOP talking points, and then tell me how hard they are working to overturn the affordable health care act. I usually politely say no. When they ask me for a good time to call back I say next year. So today must be a few weeks from the last time I said call back in a year.
I was quick and to the point today, what I told them is below the squiggle.

Hyperbole? You decide.

My hours were reduced and I lost my insurance benefits 2 years ago. Since then I have been working 2 jobs to make ends meet. Because I am less than 35 hours for both employers, I am ineligible for insurance benefits. Until today.
