In a not-so surprising move today, the Bush Adminsitration named Fox News Anylist Tony Snow to replace Puffy McMoonface as Press Secretary. Bush stated he felt the move would eliminate some of the needless beauracratic layers between the Administration and the fourth arm of the government, the Ministry of Disinformation.. or Fox News.

Bill O'Reilly is still waiting on his appointment.

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.

We were faced with challenges and adversity, but we always overcame them and moved forward. That's what life is about. I started of 2012 still living in my cozy Grandview Heights town home and continuing the daily grind with Chase Home Finance. Rochelle flew out to spend the New Year with me, and I took her out on the town. We were able to see the Columbus Zoo Lights on New Year's Eve, did some major shopping at Easton Town Center. At the end of her visit, I surprised her by flying back out to Virginia for a few more days....
