February 1st

It's a little after nine on a Tuesday. Kate's in the bath. I'm on the computer. But I'm sure you figured that...The computer part that is. I've decided to pursue a degree in Web Design or a related field. Now I just have to decide what school I want to attend and what exactly my career path will be. Kate and I checked out a few houses over the weekend, and met a fairly nice agent. We're totally up in the air about where we want to live. Delaware feels like home, and we really miss it. But Delaware is 20 miles from the outskirts of Columbus. Sometimes, when Chris was out, we wouldn't get home until 7:00, so there's definitely a convenience factor to think about. We also saw a few houses in Westerville. One was really nice on the outside, but I think the inside needed some work, and the basement was straight out of a Wes Craven movie. The other house we saw was really cheap. REALLY CHEAP. I guess the old lady who had owned it died, and she hadn't updated the place since Eisenhower was blowing smoke rings in the oval office. Seriously. The kitchen had a pillar coming up off the island that was covered with cheesy looking brink wallpaper. The doors around the house were all tiny, like they had been designed by gnomes. I thanked the real estate agent showing the shack and wished her luck.

In short, we are really going to have to decide where we want to live and how that will effect our work and educational goals.

That's it for now.

Universal Healthcare or Corporate Welfare?

Ever since Hillary Clinton's overreaching Universal Health Care project fell flat in the 90's, we constantly hear Republicans tying the very idea of government sponsored healthcare to Communism and Socialism. Privatization supposedly offers more choices and provides a lower overall cost to the consumer. In theory, they are somewhat correct. In practice, however, that is not the case. The healthcare industry is rapidly consolidating. There are maybe five major players nationally at this point, and as with what is happening to many American industries, you can pretty much make a safe bet that in the next few years, there will be even less choices. Much of this is due to deregulatory legislation that has been very healthy for corporate America over the last few years. I think this is one of the major drawbacks of an unfettered Capitalistic economy. When there are no stops in place, the Corporation is allowed to grow and absorb all that it can, thus eliminating competition and incr...

Right Wing Cheerleader of the Week Award

Image
I'm a frequent reader of right wing propaganda. I'll admit that. I think there are quite a few decent, straight forward Republicans out there who run excellent commentary on their blogs. They are typically warm and open to respectful debate. Mike M. 's blog is a good example. However, I am convinced that there are some real nut jobs out in the blogosphere, who's primary goal is to berate and destroy any opposition to their polar ideology. So, with all due respect, I've opted to create a weekly award to highlight randomly selected right wing nutjobs' hate filled contribution to our online community as well as the political landscape. This section will appropriately be labeled "The Right Wing Cheerleader of the Week Award", in honor of everyone's favorite Yale cheerleader! Without any further ado, this week's Right Wing Cheerleader of the Week Award is given to Ottman, over at The Creative Conservative . Otto is a fearless general of mis-informa...

How to Cheat, Lie, and Steal and Blame it on Your Opponent - For Dummies

Image
Blognonymous has a great post on a new Washington Post chart that basically shows what Democrats have said all along... Abramhoff was lining three Republican pockets for every one Democrat pocket. But if you read sites like anti-Dem No Agenda or Espella Humanzee , you'll see how Republican apologists are trying to spin the whole "they did it too so it's okay" arguement. In fact, No Agenda makes no note of the blatent corruption happening on their side of the aisle. Typical. Still, I haven't heard squat from the MSM about Bush's $100,000 in campaign contributions received from the lobbyist. Of that $100,000, the Administration has agreed to return 6% of the amount to charity. That's kinda like donating a small portion of your bank robbery pot to the Red Cross.
