House vote on health care legislation coming up
So Democrats think they have 216 votes to send Health Care legislation back to the Senate today. Thank goodness. Let’s get this health care party started and this vote over with already.
Obama health care summit = epic fail
So, did anyone sit around and watch the Health Care Summit of 2010 at the White House? No? I thought not. I didn’t really get a chance to watch it either, but I think President Obama showed exactly what he’s trying to do versus exactly what everyone else is trying to do as seen in [...]
Obama Health Care Summit
It would be nice to see something happen today that matters, and not a lot of bi-partisan grandstanding. Unfortunately, at least according to this CNN article, that seems more likely to happen on television this morning than anything else. Seriously, we’ve been through a year of partisan bickering. I, like many Americans, am tired of [...]
More thoughts on The State of Our Union
So thanks to Kottke and Newsweek, I bring you two articles for your eventual perusal. The first from Kottke is a San Francisco Gate column about why Americans seem so unhappy and disappointed over the past year. The second, “Why Presidents Should Break Campaign Promises” focuses on why Obama hasn’t been able to bring about [...]
The State of Our Union, 2010
The United States of America has seen better days, but it has also seen worse. A lot of things happened over the past year – the economy began to slowly recover (much faster than Depression-era recovery, which took World War II to finally bring us out of that economic plight.) We are still fighting two [...]
Election Fever!
The excitement in my bones is building folks! And tomorrow I’ll be spending my entire day in the car or at a precinct, with the exception of pit stops and quick drop-ins to the office to drop off video and whatnot. So likely, posting will be light tomorrow, and most likely Wednesday too. In fact, [...]
The Republican’s War on Everything
Last night, my friend Karissa called me and started jumping from topic to topic and landed momentarily on talking about my blog. “Kevin, why haven’t you written anything about THAT Republican anymore?” Honestly, I told her, I’m tired of writing politics. I’m tired of thinking about a ticket whose views I don’t agree with one [...]
Michigan is trying to do what?
Apparently the GOP controlled state of Michigan is trying to steal another election, once again, by disenfranchising voters in the state who have had their houses foreclosed on them. I guess their theory goes this way: you don’t have an address, you aren’t registered as a voter. Thus, you can’t vote. However, as far as [...]
Democratic Convention and McCain’s VP
So, I was listening to CNN on my satellite radio in the car on the way back from a pedestrian versus car this morning when I heard something interesting: “John McCain has chosen his vice presidential nominee and will be announcing the name tomorrow.” Then they went on to say this: “It’s likely that the [...]
Rally round the Republicans Day!
Oh, let me tell you, my day has been filled with the virtues of that Grand Ol’ Party today. It started with a short 30 minute stop and hour long drive around the county for JAKES Day, an outdoor appreciation day for kids run by the National Wild Turkey Federation. That’s not to be confused [...]
