I haven't seen this diaried today so let me know if I just missed this.

It seems the actuaries at the Health and Human Services Department have issued a report today on the impact of pending healthcare legislation.

May be coming back.

If we could take a quick break from stimulating the economy, healthcare reform, immigration and Afghanistan, and get to something really important now please?

There seriously can't be a downside to the fact that we're driving less can there? I mean c'mon.

Reduced consumption is a contributing factor to the decrease in the price of oil, right? That's good. Reduced consumption mean reduced greenhouse gas emissions, right? That helps in the fight against climate change. That's good too. Less consumption means less imports (in theory) and puts us that much closer to some semblance of energy independence. That's good too, right? Ok, maybe not, but that's an entirely different diary.

Well, it's official. Today marks the birth of Sirius XM Inc. After nearly a year and a half of regulatory limbo the deal is finally done.

This will be a short diary but I'm interested in what everyone thinks here.

For those of you sick and tired of the candidate pie fight diaries.

Thankfully the problem of Global Climate Change has been at least a topic so far in the campaigns. But personally I don't particularly like the solutions being proposed.

Windfall profit taxes, cap and trade systems, gas tax holidays. I simply don't believe they'll work.

Follow me below the fold for a fresh idea.

Ok, that's not really true, but now that I have your attention, why are we so married to that term?

That term served its purpose very well when the issue was first on the public stage. It worked. It got our attention. That's great.

Now I think it hurts the cause more than helps it.

Yesterday,

Dozens of Greek and Armenian priests and worshippers exchanged blows at one of Christianity's holiest shrines on Orthodox Palm Sunday, and used palm fronds to pummel police who tried to break up the brawl.

Ah, Jesus must be so proud.

I am reposting this from Thursday because my blood pressure is still up, and I don't think enough people are outraged...

Indulge me while I vent a little.

I know I read somewhere that holding it in is bad for your health. Probably some Congresional study. Wouldn't want to get sick now would I. Would just end up healthy, and on the street, with the current cost of health care.

Wait. Congress is addressing that aren't they? Along with illegal immigration and the war in Iraq? Busy drafting policy to make my life and the country better. Busy doing what it was we sent them to Washington to do, right?

Wrong. They're too busy protecting me from professional baseball pitchers who may or may not have taken steroids.

This will be a short diary, but I have to ask the question. It may not be politically correct. It may not be wise. But I think it just might be relevant.

It occured to me the other day that perhaps one of the most incitefull people of the last century when it comes to the poor may have been Elvis Presly.

While this is not a candidate diary, poverty today is certainly a campaign issue, as it surely should be. What would Elvis do? Follow me below the fold.
