Net Neutrality and the First Amendment
So what is this all about?
Use of the Internet has become an everyday occurrence for most of us. Just like turning on the TV. We take it for granted. We assume we can go visit any website we want, just like we change channels on the TV to watch the news or a movie or a sitcom whether it is on ABC, CBS, or FOX.
We want to get on the Internet and move around on it at the fastest speed we can. We want to watch videos, listen to a podcast, send an instant message or e-mail to someone any time we want. We share pictures with our families. Research our family trees. Buy books on Amazon. Write blogs. Visit Facebook.
But don’t just assume it is always going to be that way. Ever hear of Net Neutrality? Net Neutrality is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet. That means internet service providers cannot discriminate between different kinds of content.
Want to learn some more about Net Neutrality and what big corporations are up to? Take a look at Save the Internet. As Senator Al Franken told the Netroots Nation last weekend in Las Vegas: “Only you can stop a corporate takeover of free speech.”

Sharron Angle’s “Please Stop” Ad
FactCheck says “But Angle’s ad attempts to attribute all these woes to Reid personally; Angle repeatedly says ‘he’s done’ these things. That’s questionable, to put it mildly.”

The politics of racism
The Ugliness of Race
[Shirley Sherrod]
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
The squabble between the Tea Party and the NAACP over racism has evolved into a firestorm.
How it began
The NAACP has accused the Tea Party of having a racist element in its organization. The Tea Party accuses the NAACP of being racist.
Now hold that thought a second.
Shirley Sherrod is the Georgia Director of Rural Development for the USDA. She was federally appointed to her job. She gave a speech last March at a NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner. Her father was murdered by a white man when she was a young girl. She was explaining to her audience how she overcame her feelings against white people.
There is a fellow named Andrew Breitbart who writes a blog called Big Government.
Breitbart got a video of Sherrod’s speech. He posted two clips from it on his blog.
Clip 1
Clip 2
Breitbart didn’t cover Sherrod’s lesson on how she overcame her racism as a young girl. He wrote on his blog:
In the first video, Sherrod describes how she racially discriminates against a white farmer. She describes how she is torn over how much she will choose to help him. And, she admits that she doesn’t do everything she can for him, because he is white. Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from “one of his own kind”. She refers him to a white lawyer.
Sherrod’s racist tale is received by the NAACP audience with nodding approval and murmurs of recognition and agreement. Hardly the behavior of the group now holding itself up as the supreme judge of another groups’ racial tolerance.
It went viral
Boy did it ever. [See Huffington Post]
The NAACP condemned her remarks at the banquet.
USDA deputy undersecretary Cheryl Cook phoned Sherrod who was driving and told her “the White House wanted her to resign because her comments were generating a cable news controversy.
Cook wanted her to submit her resignation on her Blackberry. She did.
Later, Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, stated it was he, not the White House, that had wanted her to resign.
The White House confirmed it had not sought her resignation. The NAACP, after learning the full story, reversed itself and is asking for her reinstatement.
President Obama has stated he will support Vilsack’s decision.
Breitbart still contends the NAACP is racist and so is Sherrod.
What do I think?
I think President Obama and Vilsack are making a mistake. They should reinstate her. Breitbart can go pound sand.

St. Rose Dominican Hospitals take right step
Video of St. Rose Dominican Hospitals CEO Rod Davis on the Sun’s hospital care project.
St. Rose Dominican Hospitals in Las Vegas take a positive step. They are reacting to the recent investigation of the Las Vegas Sun. The investigation revealed 969 instances in 2008 and 2009 in which patients suffered preventable injuries, infections or other harm in Las Vegas hospitals.
Hospitals have “fought to keep secret” information about such events, the Sun reports.
St. Rose CEO Rod Davis is the first hospital executive to come out in favor of greater transparency.
Davis pledges to post on his hospitals’ website cases of preventable harm — known as “adverse” events — that occur at the three St. Rose Dominican Hospitals: Siena, Rose de Lima and San Martin.
They have never been made public before. There is some indication that other Las Vegas hospitals will follow the lead of the St. Rose Dominican Hospitals.
This is a good thing–for us members of the public.
