The Third Shift
I work while you're sleeping. I've somehow managed to forge a career in journalism that's led me to the Pacific Northwest. Welcome to my little padded room. If you have a question, feel free to ask. If you like your observations in a pithier form, this twit Tweets.
Who I Follow
The White House is “all talk, no action” on moving toward compromise, said Anthony Picarello, general counsel for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “There has been a lot of talk in the last couple days about compromise, but it sounds to us like a way to turn down the heat, to placate people without doing anything in particular,” Picarello said. “We’re not going to do anything until this is fixed.”
That means removing the provision from the health care law altogether, he said, not simply changing it for Catholic employers and their insurers. He cited the problem that would create for “good Catholic business people who can’t in good conscience cooperate with this.”
“If I quit this job and opened a Taco Bell, I’d be covered by the mandate,” Picarello said.

Hey, Mr. Picarello: if I can’t get my tax money back that pays for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, drone strikes, and the death penalty, you can’t demand part of a law be stricken from a secular nation just because it offends your moral sensibilities. The rights of half the country come before your religious hierarchy.
