I know they've rejected similar style ads from perceived lefty organizations (I"ll dig up links later) like that Congregational denomination that had those tolerance ads after the 2004 election...so this may be a first for NBC in blocking an ad from a conservative org. At least it's the first time that it's been discussed publically. I tend to believe that NBC (and others) have this policy simply cause lawyers tell them to so as not to get into any dustups. Sort of like HRC's prez campaign thus far.

More Stupid Unemployment Numbers
Firstly,
this rosy news was not how it was reported
on Bloomberg when I was listening this morning...
My boy at
The Big Picture infers a lot of the same thing - that the jobs data is not as rosy as the Fed makes it out to be. And, of course, as I harp on all the time, the unemployment rate is just total bunk - it really doesn't give you anything meaningful.

International Voting: The Good And Bad
The good:
Venezuela's Chavez suffers defeat of his socialist totalitarian constitutional reforms...
The Bad:
Putin's political party has huge victory, basically providing for Putin to wield power - either officially or unofficially...
The Ugly:
Tennessee lost to LSU in the SEC title game - nice! Or, I guess you could say The GREAT!
