Frustrated People Speak Out Against Health Care
After a year of tumultuous debate, the Democrats finally managed to unilaterally pass a watered down health care bill with a vote of 219 to 212 in the house. Many disparities in the belief of cost, coverage, and impacts still exist. Many states Attorneys General have already begun joining forces to block this health care initiative. The questions [...]
Government Healthcare: One Veteran’s Perspective
Every veteran of our Armed Forces, upon separation from their contractual agreement with the government, attends separations classes in which they learn about the benefits that they earned for their honorable service. One of those benefits is health care. In these classes veterans are promised the world about the availability of that health care [...]
When will the GOP ever learn
Just when you think that the GOP is getting back on track and growing a pair to actually support their beliefs, Senator McConnell and Senator Ensign declare that what they need to do to back the stimulus is to include a provision for "government backed low interest mortgages at 4%". WTF people? Seriously, isn't it the subprime lending and [...]
Kentucky remains without power after ice storm

There was a time when people would read/recite [...]
Because the more things change…
The old adage of “the more things change the more things stay the same” has never been truer in America. We have a President elect who just 1 year ago came out with a strong conviction about how the days of lobbyists setting the agenda being over. I found this interesting when last weekend I read this New York Times article concerning [...]
Obama and Biden announce their change in direction for Information Technology
It is not surprising to me that in this new "change" oriented administration the sights of the mighty have been set upon Information Technology. Their major intent is to add yet another layer of Bureaucracy to an already capsizing ship. This is another sign that in the world of tomorrow we will likely each be assigned a government aide de camp [...]
