I have recently joined the ranks of the 47 million Americans without health insurance. I am self-employed, make a good living, and I am healthy to the best of my knowledge. However, I cannot get private health insurance in this United States of America. You know, that place that many say has the "best health care in the world" – even though we are ranked 37th in the world behind places like Malta, Oman, Portugal, Iceland, Belgium, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, and Costa Rica. So much for having the best.

McCain knew he was headed for a big loss and wanted someone that everyone could pin it on other than himself. After a discussion with some friends, we agreed that this is the one and only reason why McCain, love him or hate him, would have picked Palin or allowed someone to pick her for him. There just is not a single other reason why this happened. To be honest, the higher-echelon Republicans are too smart for this - there is something bigger going on here.

How strange and bizarre that Fox news would allow a guy funded by the oil and cigarette companies to pontificate that CFL's are bad for us? From the article that is making the rounds on the internet today:

"(After breaking one)... it will take her more than 11 years to recoup the cleanup costs in the form of energy savings....Not only are CFLs much more expensive than incandescent bulbs and emit light that many regard as inferior to incandescent bulbs, they pose a nightmare if they break and require special disposal procedures. Yet governments (egged on by environmentalists and the Wal-Marts of the world) are imposing on us such higher costs, denial of lighting choice, disposal hassles and breakage risks in the name of saving a few dollars every year on the electric bill?"

1:30 AM was the time that I finally went to sleep on Tuesday night after a full 7 hours of flipping between CNN and MSNBC for election results. Every once in a while I even flipped to FOX just to see the look on their faces as the Democrats took more and more house and senate seats. That alone made the day worthwhile.

After 6 long years of Bush and cronies being able to pass any and all bills through Congress, the nightmare is over. Someone is finally there to check him...maybe even READ the bills before they vote Yes on them. And now Bush wants to work with the Democrats because he has been shown that We the People do not care for him anymore. Do not look too much into this Democratic sweep....this is much more of a "We are tired of Bush, so we will elect the Democrats" than it is a "We just love Democrats and their ideals". I hope the newly elected Congress knows this and will work hard to prove to the American people that they have a plan and that they have ideas...otherwise, 2008 will be VERY ugly. But this all being said.... Read More

Do NOT let Webb concede if Allen "wins"

There has to be a way to get to Webb and let him know that we expect him to keep fighting even if Allen "wins". With the investigation just starting up with the FBI on the phone call issue, he cannot willfully give up the fight. He should wait until the FBI clears Allen's office of any wrongdoing. This whole thing smells of Republican stink...and there has to be a way to make sure Webb does not concede.

Anyone, any ideas? Where should we begin?

I meant to say that Saddam went to flight school and all we got was 9/11. Ok?

Two days ago, President Bush made a mistake. I can only imagine the look of horror on Cheney and Rove's faces that day when Bush got so angry at a question that he blurted out the correct answer instead of lying as usual. The exchange went something like this:

Question: What did Iraq have to do with that?

President Bush: What did Iraq have to do with what?

Question: The attack on the World Trade Center.

President Bush: NOTHING!(exasperated)... Nobody has ever suggested that the attacks of September the 11th were ordered by Iraq.

So lets take a look at this. Remember August 23, 2006 as a very important day when Bush came out and told us that the last 4 years has been a lie. Since 2002, the administration has repeatedly claimed that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, and used it as a reason why we had to attack them. Need some examples? Read More

Looks like another case of "guess we acted too soon". The men accused of being terrorists because they bought tons of phones at Wal-mart have had their charges reduced to fraud because it was determined that they were not terrorists.

Another example of our government trying to scare the crap out of people by labeling any middle easterner a terrorist, no matter what their crime or lack thereof. From Michigan Live:

"Lawyers for three Texas men once accused of plotting to blow up the Mackinac Bridge claim the government is bailing out an overzealous prosecutor by bringing unprecedented charges.

Until Wednesday, even the FBI said the business of buying and altering cell phones -- as the men claim was their only motive -- was a legal enterprise, and that the only issue was whether proceeds end up in terrorist coffers. Read More

1. Constant entertainment. Did you happen to watch his speech at the NAACP? Better than any show on Comedy Central. I especially liked his history lesson about African-Americans..I am sure they learned a lot about their past that they did not already know!

2. Civil unrest. I mean, what is better than half of the country hating the other half? Liberals, you try to put a "peace" bumpersticker on your Prius and see how fast a Republican's Hummer runs you over. On the other hand, Republicans, you can put a "Have you hugged your hateful, racist, overspending white Senator lately?" sticker on your Hummer, and well....um...I guess the Liberals can drive away silently in their Prius shaking their head.

So, I have not posted on here in quite some time, had a lot going on at home that has now been resolved. But, I had to write a quick post today after visiting with a lot people this past weekend. You see, we are a Democrat only family. Almost everyone is a lefty/progressive, and would never vote for a Republican. That is, until I brought up the 2008 elections, and the idea that Hillary would be running. Well, I heard a mouthful about that. Seems that no one thinks she can win, and would also be hesitant to vote for her at all. I see the polls about who you all think should run for President in 2008, and I see the results. That being said..what is it that we can all do to make sure we have a viable candidate in 2008? I know my family isnt the only one concerned about a Hillary ticket in 2008, there must be many many more of them. Read More

With all the calls to "email the media" regarding different reports about the hurricane, I was so often going to separate websites to send emails. So, I compiled a list where I could just copy and paste all the addresses into my BCC field in my email. Thought some of you might find this useful, if not to use it, then to add it to the lists that you might already have.

Keep it up. Thanks.
