“The whole blue collar work ethic in America, especially in Michigan is that, like my dad and our parents they didn’t go to college, but what they wanted most of all was to send their kids to college. That’s why they were working so hard in the factory, so that their kids could have a better life, so that they could go to college. No blue collar person sees college as some form of snobbery. It’s actually the definition of the American Dream. So, when Santorum calls it snobbery and ‘who needs college’ or ‘everyone doesn’t need to go to college,’ he’s reallly attacking the American Dream.”

- Michael Moore on Rick Santorum’s statement, “President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob.” (via kileyrae)

“It is no accident that 90 percent of the members of the National Academy of Science, the nation’s most prestigious group of scientific researchers, claim to have no religious faith. This is not a group of ‘indoctrinated liberals’ who have an agenda to destroy our morality. It is a group of individuals who are trained to question and explore, and in the process have helped produce the knowledge base that powers our modern society.”

I’d be a lot more excited about Monday’s ALP leadership spill if the two candidates were Penny Wong and John Faulkner. Rudd vs. Gillard haven’t we been here before?

So if you happen to be in an electorate, State or Federal, with an ALP member just phone them up and tell them your not going to vote for them at the next election if Penny or John aren’t leader of the Federal ALP; why not phone an ALP councillor or two with the good news.

Why should the pollies have all the fun?
