Health Care

So, I have some opinions about how backwards American Health Care is. I sometimes wonder if politicians in general even know that we are the largest country without Universal Health Care.

But that will just get me started on a rant. I realize that reform is coming(however long ago it was due), or at least we are attempting to get the reform bill passed, and I should try to be patient.

Because people like me, it wouldn't really effect. I have good health insurance, and therefore probably wouldn't get any from the government. I just want everyone to have the option.

The Obama administration is touting the $950 billion comprehensive health care plan it unveiled yesterday, while Republicans are calling for a more "piece-meal" approach. But where is the Republican Bill? They still are saying the same thing, the bill involves too much spending, too much bureaucracy, etc. Nothing is ever going to get done if we don't ever agree.

Besides, can't we all just get along?

Senator Evan Bayh says no.

Wow. Just another person is the growing number of democrats and republicans alike that is growing impatient with DC.

This is a pretty big deal in DC, what with the senate majority and him being one of the people Obama could have chosen for his VP.

We already lost Massachusetts! Don't let us lose any more seats! Keep the majority!

We've come so far...

Amazing new spoilers out there for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The screenwriter actually gives some interesting insights into his working with Tim Burton and the movie itself.

imgfave.com is a great site for uploading and linking images- You can create collections that are quite fantastic to look at. Above is a collection of various typography that I find very cool execution wise and conceptually.

So, all last weekend I was snowed in at my home in Annapolis. Grand total of snow that weekend: 3.5 ft.

Now the report is that there should be another 16 inches but Wednesday night. God dammit. More snow for the homeland.

How many have you seen?

I really like lists

As the title says, I really like reading funny lists online. I found a good one while attempting to write a paper on Thoreau's Walden... Here you go:

(As you can tell from this quick-fast series of posts, the paper is not going very well... Eck)

I feel kinda bad, but I've been saying this was going to happen for a while.

Extremely hilarious.
