Today's post is going to be short if not sweet. Please take a few minutes today to call your senators and congressional representatives and urge them to act now to extend unemployment insurance.

1-877-662-2889
and here's another supplied by US Action:
1-866-606-1189
THE PEOPLE SAY "AMEN!" A brand new public opinion poll shows massive support for maintaining unemployment insurance.
SPINE OR NO SPINE? Time (but not a lot of it) will tell for the lame duck congress.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, Americans believe some weird things.
DON'T DRINK THE WATER. Hundreds of residents of southern WV headed to Charleston for mediation in a lawsuit against Massey Energy over contaminated water from coal slurry injections.
