The Ghosts of Presidents Past

Saw this last night and literally laughed out loud (lol as the kids say)

The Health Care Debate

Danielle worked at New York Presbyterian, on the floor where Mr. Olbermann's father is receiving treatment. Living with a a health care professional, I know how hard the people with their boots on the ground in this fight are working.

My frustration with the politics of Changing this system has boiled over. I am guessing I feel a lot like this guy:



That is Congressmen Anthony Weiner of NY. And at 6:19 this morning I am at least reassured that someone out there is saying something that I agree with.

I think I may show this clip to my 11th grade U.S. History class this morning, we are starting to cover the Constitution today. How do I honestly teach about how our Government is supposed to work, when it has shown an utter inability to do anything for months.

We are no closer today to comprehensive healthcare reform than we were in the fall when I was frustrated. Mr. Obama, you are losing me. There are precious few issues that will get me angry enough to vote against you or not vote at all in 2012. Health Care, equal rights for all citizens regardless of sexual orientation, education, that's pretty much it. In over a year, you and your administration have done shockingly little on each front.

These Folks Are Real

As usual, Rachel uses her witty, sarcastic style to disarm even the craziest of crazies. What she said at the end is what is so telling to me, "These folks are real"

Family Guy

I am a huge "Family Guy" fan, but when D and I watched this clip the other day we both looked at each other and said: "Really?".

I couldn't get through the whole Fox News clip, because the vortex of stupid that was created when these two were placed side by side was too much for my tiny brain to handle.

But point being, I came away thinking, "Wholly a Molley" (an Avi-ism) I cannot believe I just agreed with The Palin.

Then I came across This...

And I was reminded that it was this same woman who defended Rush Limbaugh calling someone "an effing retard" in the name of Satire.

It took a young woman with Down's Syndrome to remind me, even people with special needs have senses of humor.

Screw you Sarah.

and this was the rest of the clip:

Classic, classic, classic.

This woman literally makes my stomach turn.

The acrobatics that she is able to accomplish with logic are simply mind-blowing.

There is nothing for me to add, because nothing funny or witty that I say can possibly reach the level of hilarity that she is able to accomplish on accident.

Student Teaching

Half a week into sort of student teaching, I would have some observations, if I had done more than plan and hang out to this point.

Monday will be a completely different story as I pick of the reins and run with two sections of U.S. History.

As Sid the Sloth says, this is either going to be really good, or really bad.

Just watched the State of the Union Address with D, and I come away feeling both positive and negative about it.

I liked the tone at the end. We will see where this all goes.

Looking forward to the Super Bowl. K.C. was very fun, and the wedding was beautiful.

Scary, scary stuff.

Take a group of people who are already feeling conflicted about the disconect between their sexuality and their religion. Then use their confusion and insecurity to make a profit all while promising a "Cure".

Like I said, scary stuff.

More Palin Fun

Going Rogue Goes Rogue

Hilarious.

Call it whatever you want. We need this.

Avi had an ear infection last week. They tend to be very bad. No co-pay for the visit. No cost for the prescription. My 2-year old is happy and healthy and the only thing I had to pay was in gas to get to the doctors. Thank you Government Run Child Health Plus.

Keep up the good work Keith.

Thank You, People of Minnesota

I cannot picture Norm effing Coleman doing anything near this. Franken is aweosme.

Between him and Alan Greyson, finally we have some Democrats who are not afraid of their own shadows. We have 60% majorities in both houses, and we have the White House. Why then Senator Harry Reid, do you continue to act like we owe something to the opposition.

Grow a spine, or as Alan Greyson would say, Get out of the way.

You can lead, you can follow, or you can get out of the way.

My New Favorite Representative

Alan Greyson Kicks tons of Ass

Thank You Rachel

I watched this in silence last night.

Special Comment

Keith did an hour long Special Comment last night on the Health Care debate.

I recommend watching the whole thing. But this section hit closest to home for me:

I personally know someone who has been a part of this, who has been on the front-line of this war. Working tirelessly to help as many people as possible. To reduce the pain of those who are suffering. I know how hard she works. I know how much she cares. There are medical professionals out there who care.

Still an Inconvenient Truth

I officially hate Max Baucus.

I can only hope that what Keith mentions at the end of this video is the truth.

I somehow cannot muster the faith in the Democratic party to believe that they could be smart enough to pull this off, but maybe just maybe they put together the worst bill in the history of the universe so that they could get what they wanted from the push-back. Not panicing yet.
