Is your state ready to reject a public option if others get one?
Where will Fox news be then? Will they be providing a healthcare option for citizens or states that reject the option?

Repealing “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” could be a mixed blessing
I’ve heard people privately express annoyance that the LGBT community is pushing Obama to follow through on his promise of eliminating “don’t ask don’t tell. I guess the frustration is that many people think the President has more important issues to confront like healthcare, the economy, and war. It is easy to get swayed into [...]
Michael Moore’s Movie Blames All the Usual Suspects except……….. Us
I saw Michael Moore’s new movie, “Capitalism,a Love Story on Saturday. It was easier to digest than some of his past political propoganda. He seemed more able to express his disdain with politicians and Wallstreet in a more balanced approach than he has in past movies. Specifically, he outed Democrats as well as Republicans. Moreover he [...]
Anderson Cooper’s Trying to Create Trouble
I like Anderson Cooper. However I didn’t like his coverage of violence in Chicago. He seemed to be on a mission to create the impression that Chicago is nothing but a violent city.

While Chicago’s Olympic hopes flame out, don’t count Obama out
Despite the Dream Team of Barack, Michelle, and Oprah, Chicago couldn't make it out of the first round. So let the pundits have their fun. Many will question Obama for leaving Washington and not coming home with Olympic gold
As McKenzie Phillips speaks, Hollywood Defends Polanski?
It’s odd how things work out sometimes. McKenzie Phillips comes out with an honest, painful, tragic story of being sexually abused by her father when she was 13. And then Hollywood stands up to deliver their support for Roman Polanski, a man who drugged, raped, and traumatized at 13 year old. It’s as if she [...]
Obama’s Dissing of Gov.Patterson will backfire
I predict President Obama’s intervention into New York politics will backfire because he asked another African American politician to not run again. I guarantee people will see it as him treating another African American differently than he would a white candidate. It was a bad move.Governor Patterson may be perceived as a joke in some [...]
Has U2 become today’s Grateful Dead?
Perhaps I’m just not hip enough…In fact, let’s assume I’m not. But has U-2 become the Grateful Dead for a new generation of music junkies? In the last 3 days, I have had several conversations with colleagues, friends, and strangers that began something like this, “I was at the U2 concert. It was so amaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing, [...]
Why is everyone so Angry?
Why is everyone so angry? And when did it become all the rage to rage. Kanye West is upset. Serena Williams is mad. The healthcare reform opponents are screaming even though many of them are benefitting from medicare, the closest thing we have to socialized medicine. What happened to civility, manners, and intelligent debate. Congressman’s [...]
Don’t give up public option without the following-
I’ve read that the Democrats are ready to compromise on the public option portion of the health care reform act. I think it’s a mistake. But I hope the Democrats use all of their power then to lock the insurance companies in for hundreds of years.

Texas Parents lack of Patriotism is Shameful!
During the Bush presidency, I heard all about what it means to be “patriotic.” And part of that appeared to mean following and supporting our President. However, now that we have the first African American President, it appears the rules are less clear.
