Over at Altercation, Charles Pierce makes note of Tom Daschle's statement that tort reform must be a part of any reform plan:
Just shut up, please. For my own edification, is there any provision of the 2008 Republican platform that Tom Daschle thinks should be left out of the Democratic health-reform package, now rapidly morphing into the Preservation Of The Greedy Insurance Bastards Act of 2009? School vouchers? Missile defense?
Alas, that is all-too-good of a question.
CaliforniaCityNews.org has a post about an over-the-top hiring requirement in Bozeman:
If you're planning to apply for a job with the city of Bozeman, prepare to clean up your Facebook page.
As part of routine background checks, the city asks job applicants to provide their usernames and passwords for their social-networking sites. And it has been doing it for years, city officials said.
I really could understand if the requirement was to disclose all of your social networking sites so they could be reviewed, but demanding your usernames and passwords? That simply goes too far.
Update: My friend KL Tweets: The best response on Fark to that story: tell 'em it violates the Terms Of Service for the websites and you obey rules
