I do not understand how we even have time to worry about promoting the confederate flag when there are more important issues like creating jobs. Its not Rick Perry’s fault the issue came up – its the people who want the confederate flag recognized.

I think that the Sons of the Confederate Veterans need to back down and let our government focus on main issues.

Another concern courtesy of Wonk Wintern Mary Kathryn: the already-crowded social media marketing space just got noticeably more crowded courtesy of Google and Living Social-investor Amazon. [...]
