Sometimes you have to grab the bull by the horns and handle things for yourself!
I am so tired of the whining from whatever quarter it may come from on the Affordable Care Act Marketplace website and the "glitches". It is simply a site much like Priceline.com which lists health insurance plans created by private insurance companies in one convenient place for people to sign up for. NEWS FLASH There is nothing from preventing anyone from going directly to private insurance company websites and looking up the plans they offer on the exchange and signing up through their website. If priceline.com went down for whatever reason are you telling me people would stop booking vacations? No of course not. They would just go directly to Airlines to book flights. People this is NOT rocket science. I am bewildered by the confusion and sky is falling mentality I am seeing.

I want a party full of Anthony Weiners and Alan Graysons. Instead I get democrats that cave every chance they get. I feel as though the democrats are constantly on the defensive. They rarely seize opportunities to go on offense and even when they do its lackluster at best.

I am angry and fed up with no place to launch my anger. Basically I am writing this diary because I have no other outlet for my rage.

I am infuriated Keith Olberman has now gone off the air. He was someone who voiced how I feel. He wasn't shy about it nor lackluster. He spoke truth to power. We need more of him not less.

I absolutely wish various liberals would get together and create an alternative to Fox news. We NEED a liberal counter part to them. I feel as though the left is fighting with one arm tied behind its back without one. Surely there is enough liberal money out there to create a news network. You could easily get talent like Olberman to spearhead and bring in the viewers.

I'm tired of constantly being frustrated. Its to the point I am about to become one of the apathetic masses and put politics out of my life forever. Its no wonder people don't bother to vote.

Frustrated to the Max!

Science Fiction has been a tool for Social Commentary for quite some time. In Jules Verne's 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, an Indian, Captain Nemo could be credited as being a harbinger of the Third World Liberation Movements in general and the modern Indian Independence Movement in particular.

In more modern times Gene Roddenberry was known for specifically putting social commentary into Star Trek. Let That Be Your Last Battlefield was the episode that dealt directly with the issue of racism and its stupidity and illogical reasoning. Star Trek as a whole became known for its social commentary and ability to point out, through science fiction, societies flaws. Continued... Read More

"A bill in the Virginia state legislature would prevent unmarried women from using assisted reproductive technology, including lesbians who frequently use donor insemination to have children"

This was attempted in Indiana and we prevented it. Now its time for the same fight but in Va. The republican right will never learn their lesson so lets teach them again.

Robert Marshall the Republican from Manassas needs to hear from us concerning his unfriendly stance towards families and on making reproductive decisions for others.

Raw Story has an excellent article on how this investigation is now looking into Vice President Dick Cheney.

Cheney's role in CIA outing not known

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is trying to determine whether Vice President Dick Cheney had a role in the outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame-Wilson, individuals close to Fitzgerald have confirmed. Plame's husband was a vocal critic of prewar intelligence used by President George W. Bush to build support for the Iraq war.

The investigation into who leaked the officer's name to reporters has now turned toward a little known cabal of administration hawks known as the White House Iraq Group (WHIG), which came together in August 2002 to publicize the threat posed by Saddam Hussein. WHIG was founded by Bush chief of staff Andrew Card and operated out of the Vice President's office.
