As you are undoubtedly aware there was just a catastrophic natural disaster off the coast of Chile that may trigger a global disaster in the shape of a Pacific tsunami. The potential for loss of life remains high.

In the past you have shown a wanton disregard for the impact of such tragedies, and I am asking you to please look into your hearts and act like humans.

Much of the opposition to health care reform on the right is by individuals who have neither read the bills nor understand the bills. Pick almost any small town newspaper and you will see arguments like:

*Canadians have to wait forever! You don't want that, do you?
*I'm tired of welfare recipients / illegal immigrants taking my tax dollars!
*DEATH PANELS!

Not sure what those things have to do with the bills actually passed by the House and Senate? Nor do I. But check a small town paper and you are sure to find such claims in the online comments or Letters to the Editor.

So what to do about this?

Aaron Burr holds the distinction of not only being the first of two Vice Presidents to shoot a man while in office, but he is also the man most responsible for the Senate filibuster.

RINO 175 up, 15 down

Republican in name only; typically means a member of the GOP who's more liberal than a Republican should be
Schwarzegger's one big RINO!
by Alex Aug 19, 2003

The usage of RINO predates the August 19, 2003 definition on Urban Dictionary by almost a decade. According to wikipedia, the term was coined by Celeste Greig in reference to Mayor Richard Riordan and Congressman Michael Huffington in 1994. These two dates are important as they represent the start and end of the Republican Revolution.

All this has happened before, and all this will happen again.

With news of Justice Souter's departure at the end of the term, a plethora of diaries have been written about what traits the next Supreme Court Justice should possess. One such trait that has not received much attention is the education of the prospective nominee -- or more specifically the where they have been educated.

The Court is currently made of six Harvard Law School and two Yale Law School graduates. With the death and retirement of Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justice O'Connor, Justice Stevens is the sole Member of the Court who did not attend an Ivy League law school.
