I meant to write a long post about the Ledbetter v. Goodyear case, complete with links to sources, but I'm about to leave for vacation. Alas, I will just say that according to articles I've read, there's a lot of gray area surrounding the law that the regressive bloc of the Supreme Court cited in denying Ledbetter her claim. Congress just clarified things with a vote to allow pay discrimination suits within 180 days of one's last affected paycheck. Bush promises to veto the bill. What else is new? Personally, I find this stuff a lot more relevant to people's lives than most of what constitutes political news these days. Here the Dems are actually attempting to do something good (!), but hardly anyone knows about it.

I won't be bloggin' for the rest of this week and next week. In fact, I will try to avoid computers as much as possible. See the front page of this site to find out where you can read next week's strip.
