Al Franken has a problem: DEAR REPUBLICANS: My boss is not my doctor. My health care choices are none of my boss’s business — and none of yours, either. Seriously — what’s wrong with you guys? Signed, Al Franken & YOUR NAME + OTHERS HERE He thinks allowing individual employers to decide how to best [...]
This is the Italian imported Pagani Huarya: This car features 700 horsepower It will go from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. In other words, it will hit 60 faster than you can read this sentence. It will go so fast, so suddenly, and so hard, that it has air brakes to help slow the [...]
I work with a program that provides services to indigent elderly in Kentucky. Mostly in rural Kentucky. Now, by nature, indigent elderly are not the healthiest population. As such, we’ve been very prone to being exposed to every infectious disease known to man. You name it, we deal with it. AIDS, flus, TB. If a [...]
The concept of a “public option” in this current health care debate is not novel. It’s not new. It’s just taking what has been practiced in social service and medical care provision for decades and applying it to the insurance industry. That’s all. It’s also well-known that I oppose this.

The tax would especially target firms that use so-called high-frequency trading, which uses technology to oversee many transactions in the blink of [...]

Today, with arguably the economic welfare of the United States on the line, and for that matter, several other countries of the world, Nancy Pelosi assured the world an agreement to bail out the struggling spec market was at hand. She’d have it [...]

Res. 1021: Supporting the goals, ideals, and history of National Women’s History Month and H. Res. 1005: Supporting the goals and [...]
Remember that promise of change in 2006? You know, the one where the Democrats promised to get rid of the cronyism and corruption in DC? Well, they had a chance to walk the walk yesterday. There was a bill in the form of an amendment to eliminate earmarks completely. Here’s a list of the “changelings” [...]
This is nuts: City health officials took steps Thursday toward opening the nation’s first legal safe-injection room, where addicts could shoot up heroin, cocaine and other drugs under the supervision of nurses. Hoping to reduce San Francisco’s high rate of fatal drug overdoses, the public health department co-sponsored a symposium on the only such facility [...]
In 2000, George W. Bush won the electoral college. He however, lost the popular vote. The election was so close that Al Gore challenged one state in an effort to change the outcome of the election. The only reason it was that close was because Gore focused on a hand full of huge electoral prizes [...]
