Yesterday's stunning NBA sanction against LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling occurred in record time after the recording of his racist rant went viral, once again proving the power of social media and the Internet. That was the impetus behind another meme that made the news this week, courtesy of the Heartland Institute. The problem is, they twisted the quote from revered comedian George Carlin so that it appeared he was endorsing their nihilistic anti-government point of view. And then the fun started. MOMocrats Cynematic, Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills talk politics discussion from the progressive point of view. Produced by Engender Media Group.

Special discussion with United Opt Out's co-leaders, Peggy Robertson and Morna McDermott. Why is the impulse to opt chidlren out of standardized tests sweeping the nation at the moment?

Yesterday was Equal Pay Day, signifying how long it takes women to earn the same as men for the same work. So if you and Dude A were employed in the same department with the same title, it would take you until April 8 2014 to match the salary Dude A received by December 31, 2013. There are lots of reasons why we have not reached parity (can you say motherhood?). MOMocrats Cynematic and Donna Schwartz Mills lead the political discussion from the progressive point of view by the MOMocrats.
