A Holiday Wish

2009-12-23T21:47:09Z

The gift our country needs this Holiday season is an economy that serves us
instead of us just serving those who own or control most of the economy.
Professor Thomas Kochan at MIT's Sloan School of Management is reporting
that economic productivity of the American worker rose by 8.1 percent in the
third quarter, but pay did not. Instead, at this holiday time - and pretty

Tort Reform in Senate bill

2009-12-22T17:59:24Z

Looking over the language of the Senate bill, i found the amendment for the
following. Its interesting what's in there when you read the bill (i.e. no
benefits for illegals, interstate compacts, etc.):
TITLE VI--ENDING LAWSUIT ABUSE
*SEC. 601. STATE GRANTS TO CREATE HEALTH COURT SOLUTIONS.*
Part P of title III of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 280g et

Rogue #2

Only 2.5 months as #1? That's it?

Obama's book was number one for over a year. And then a book that has
already been out for 6 months prior to Going Rogue reclaims the #1 spot.
Well, it was a nice run for sure. Can't deny that. But it's looking like her

suck it, GOP

Boy, the GOP sure did screw up their stance regarding their opposition to
health care. I'd sure hate being a Republican these days. Can you imagine
being a Republican Senator or Congressman and going back home to your
district and saying you voted against health care reform for political
versus policy reasons. Any suffering felt by your constituents due to

If Obama had re-signed his Senate seat half way through to engage on a
nation-wide book tour before taking a family vacation to Hawaii, if
conservatives would think he'd be qualified to be President.

Sarah Palin's McCain Cover Up

My god, this lady is so dumb. Is there a bigger idiot than Sarah Palin?
While in Hawaii with her family She desided to go "incognito" but putting on
a "visor", that way nobody would recognize her with a flap over her forehead
and a band around her head, much in the same way that when superman puts on

But I have to agree with the first respondnet: "Pass the bill, then

Not "chicago style politics" when the GOP uses budget reconciliation

2009-12-18T22:35:22Z

Well, lookee what we got here from the hypocritical two-faced GOP
scumbags...
And then what's funny is that they decry Obaam for not being transparent
enough.

Who's this coming to Connecticut and lending ol' Lieberman a hand during a
fiercely contested primary?

My word, with friends like ol' Joe, who needs slippery, two-faced

lives?

If you happen to be in some redneck, hodunk part of town early one morning
and you come across a Wal-Mart with a line of people in front clutching
their copies of 'Going Rogue" because Caribou Barbie is doing a signing,
