We have a shortcoming of funding in Medicare. Obviously. Of course we have a shortcoming in Medicare funding…it’s a health insurance system that, instead of only ripping people off by insuring only healthy people like the private insurance companies, it only insures people who are elderly and probably have more health problems.
And there [...]
So, I hit a link last night where a ton of people, looking for their Facebook login by searching it off Google, left all these hilarious comments all over that blog’s site complaining that they couldn’t “log in to their facebook”.
After laughing and leaving a comment that the author of the blog shouldn’t [...]
Can Ugly be a Roman numeral? That’s what the U stands for.
I’m a pretty reserved dude for the most part. In the last 12 years, I’ve cried roughly 5-6 times that I really remember, and believe me, this last decade wasn’t too good to me. When my wife left me, that was [...]
So, we started off the week watching the Saints play the dirtiest game they could possibly muster against the Vikings. Literally, Gregg Williams admitted that his game plan was to have his guys ignore penalties and try to injure a 40 year old future Hall of Famer. I’d say that’s going to come [...]
I heard that line again. If there is one phrase from this last decade that needs to die, it’s “We fight them there, so we don’t have to fight them here!”
How, pray tell, do you stand up and cheer at the Olympics for a nation of people who hide and cower behind [...]
Okay, so my old, exceptionally expensive laptop’s graphic cards blew up. Don’t work. Then my desktop died. Thankfully, in a pinch of spend craziness, I bought a sub-400 dollar netbook last year (MSi Wind, great netbook by the way)…and I used that to get myself a job. Had two offers on [...]
Allow me to provide a perspective for you from the perspective of someone who came dangerously close to the point of no return. This will most likely offend your sensibilities, so be warned.
Yes, it’s about society. More importantly, it’s about your society, and your social mores, and whether or not you participated in [...]
I don’t make it hidden that I’m a big fan of Robert Reich, the Secretary of Labor under President Clinton. However, I’ve got to say this. I don’t think the amount of the stimulus, at this point, is the problem with how the stimulus has been utilized so far. I think it’s really the number of federal employees going over various project submissions that has been the problem…there aren’t enough of them.
So the Cato Institute guys are rattling the Social Security cage again in order to gin up their Libertarian base like they do every year. As if a total repudiation of their philosophy worldwide wasn’t enough for them.
Here’s why Social Security isn’t a Ponzi scam, and why neo-conservatives should really read up [...]
Generally, the Republican Party (and a couple of gutless Democrats) shelved the Mathew Shepard/James Byrd act for 12 years because, according to them, it would be an “unwarranted expansion of federal power” and an “unconstitutional thought-crimes law”. The reason is that it gives the Federal government the power to intercede in certain cases [...]
