Obama signed pay equity act for women.

This will make it harder for employers to get away with paying women less. Woo.

Obama points out that this act doesn't just benefit women: it benefits two-income families -- pretty much everyone I konw.

Working on the music and matching it to John's competitors. [Jan. 29th, 2009|07:16 pm]

[Current Music |Bizet - Bizet-Carmen Suite, Danse Bohème]

Sent a short scene of Out Of Bounds to my betas last night.

Have received a lot of help on the music for my skaters. :D I've decided to put a little more work into John's competitors.

( The names and standings of John's competitors at Nationals, because, yes, I am that anal. Now with the music so far. )

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the Warsaw Concerto by Addinsell. Hmm.

You know, India invested in education. [Jan. 29th, 2009|08:34 pm]

Amazing. The fact that Obama has included funding for schools in the stimulus plan has come under fire from the GOP.

What they don't seem to get is that in the current mortgage crisis, property values are plummeting.

What pays for schools?

Property taxes.

Yes, we need funding for schools in a stimulus bill. Otherwise this country will take a long-term hit. One of the reasons our jobs are going to India is that India invested heavily in education. Especially in science in technology.
