I have always deleted e-mails from progressive/democrat mailers asking for money, because I've been out of it for quite some time. But what I've seen by the far-right in this election cycle is like nothing I have ever seen before.

Looks like we have really Backwards priorities.

Based on figures in the document, the average cost of one F-35 -- $62 million when the program was launched in 2002 -- could rise to $115.5 million, not counting inflation, by the time all 2,457 planes that the U.S. plans to buy are built.

(I'm stepping out now, I have a long commute and long day tommorow, so I won't be able to reply to your comments)

OK, this will be a quick and dirty one, with a few grammer errors, but I want to celebrate this milestone with the rest of you. The way I'm going to do that is by asking "What next?"

Immigration reform, Education Reform, Ending private prisons, Wall st. reform, justice for the Bush Administration criminals, signing the treaty to ban landmines, or the one to ban cluster bombs...

Yesterday, America lost a true public servent

What makes this even more sad is that last night at my radio station, I was pschced to find in the 'z' section, Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" on CD, and I was going to go home and burn it on my computer sometime later this week. Who can possibly carry on his great historical analysis? Who will write history in the eyes of working people, blacks, Indians, and the poor?

I'm always fascinated by world elections. I believe that if other countries are continually democratically electing populist leaders that don't "toe the line" to US foreign policy and business interests, then we will have a lot harder of a time "spreading ~~democracy~~" tyranny. If there is any world leader to be happy about, it is Evo Morales.

Currently, there is a diary on the rec-list right now that lists all of Obama's accomplishments. While a lot of them are to be desired, like fair pay for women, and ending the dreaded F-22 program; It's intellectually dishonest when it comes to entries like:

Attempting to reform the nation's healthcare system which is the most expensive in the world yet leaves almost 50 million without health insurance and millions more under insured

Has put the ball in play for comprehensive immigration reform

Has announced his intention to push for energy reform

90.Has announced his intention to push for education reform

In that case, here are all of my "accomplishments":

I wish I had wrote most of these myself, but a fellow named Fred Stopsky (Who has one of my favorite blogs on myspace) wrote it. The first 17 are his. I added to it though. I'm sure a lot of you have great reasons as well, and since we are winning on healthcare reform, I say we give that rock on the top of the mountain one heaping push forwards. I know that I only added a few others here, but I know that all of you readers out there have some nifty ideas, and would like to add to this and pass it on perhaps. I know this is a diary advocating for "National" Health, but I am very excited about things like the public option for example. It's a step in the right direction, and the bigger steps we take, the more rewards we get from our hard work here, day after day of calling and e-mailing and blogging. Our hardwork will pay off.

I'm introducing a bill to the Student Senate called "The Omnibus NHTI Quality of life Improvement Act of 2009." If there is one thing that George Bush ever gave me, it's the idea of getting through an Omnibus bill, in which most of my awesome ideas can be all voted on at once.

So here it is...
