Big Pharma's Senator



I have a question: why are the Democrats keeping Lieberman? He has vowed to not vote for a bill that contains a robust (or otherwise) Public Option. He is trying to position himself as the make or break vote, and that is insane! Everyone know good ol' Joe is bought and paid for by Big Pharma. As Keith points out, "He has had a different reason [for opposing the bill] each month since June." Does anyone on the Democratic side truly believe Joe is a Democrat? If so we need to really rush health care so they can get their heads checked! The public option is the only way to make sure insurance company's do not continue to abuse consumers. Without it, this will just be another huge give-a-way to the companies, which are already making money hand over fist. Sen. Lieberman, why do you despise the American people? Why do you believe people in this nation should suffer and die from lack of health care? Please Dems! Push him out! take away his seat and any other positions he holds. He is not good for the American people, and he is not good for the Dem. Party. If the Dems fail on health care, there is nothing else they can do to win American's hearts or minds. Come on! Get serious, and stop being scared. Jeez! Fight back, starting with the party traitor!!!

Facebook Bra Color "Scandal"

I have had it with the hoopla over the Facebook Status update. In 2000 my 43 year-old mother died from breast cancer. When I saw the email on FB, it warmed my heart because at the very least, Breast Cancer was on the minds of those forwarding the message and changing their status. I gladly changed my status. My mother had a double mastectomy, but she had a wonderful doctor who helped her get bras that gave her "breasts" and she felt so much better. Everyday, as a young mother, I worry about my risk for developing cancer and I worry about the risk my daughters may face. Breast cancer does not only belong to those who have experienced it alone. It belongs to the mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, friends, etc. of us all, and any thing that will make it a topic of discussion is fine by me. Of course, changing your FB status won't resolve the cancer issue, but it will get young women talking about this very serious illness. When my mother developed breast cancer, there was...

Republicans hate us...yes, all of us.

Recently, I have been doing a lot of reading on the Enlightenment and the great minds it spawned. The 19th century was a period of upheaval all over the globe. The collective mind was being challenged to separate superstition from reason. I find this period of history fascinating based on where we are as a nation currently. Of particular interest to me has been the thoughts of Karl Marx. (Yes, that Karl Marx) Without getting into the minutiae, Marx basically saw Capitalism as a severely flawed economic system. The basic premise is Capitalism is a system in which the worker is exploited by the Capitalist to the point of losing his individual freedom of mind and soul.  Relationships are based solely on monetary gains and losses, and the worker is generally always on the losing end. For Marx, the only logical outcome and solution would be for  workers (the majority) to organize and revolt against the Capitalists (the minority.) Such a revolt would be the only way to shift the ba...

Air America ceases to be...company to file Chapter 7

If you go to airamerica.com the following letter is what you will find. I am so sad! It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business. The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business. This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection. From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times. Those companies that remain are facing audience fragment...
