Too bad we don't have people in power who could do something about this, you know if we had only had the chance to elect "progressives" who could feel our pain.

I know of immediate openings for a C#/.Net programmer and an Oracle developer working in the green energy industry in the Boston MA area. People who are interested, or who know someone who might be, send an email to stirling [dot] newberry [at] gmail [dot] com

Religious Bias Gets OK in State Job Ads

A Christian college in Western Pennsylvania and a faith-based coalition can use a state-sponsored job site specifically to hire Christians, according to the settlement of a religious discrimination suit.
Attorneys for Geneva College in Beaver Falls and the Association of Faith-Based Organizations, a coalition in Springfield, Va., filed the federal suit over Pennsylvania's online CareerLink job-listing site in December. The state and federal governments were named as defendants.

The plaintiffs argued they were wrongly denied use of the employment service, which includes an Internet service called CareerLink. The service has a nondiscrimination policy barring job postings that require applicants to have particular religious backgrounds.

Just change every instance of the word "religious" or "faith" to "race", all instances of "Christian" or "Christianity" to "white," and "belief" to "color.".
