This goes in my WTF category. I just don’t know what to say.
It was little surprise that Sarah Palin’s first visit to our home and native land (of public health care and gay marriage) would be in Calgary. It also shouldn’t be surprising that she was able to curry favour with the local crowd by [...]
My own health insurance went up 30% this year. When is enough enough?
The market concentration for health insurance is so monopolized in some areas that insurance companies are willing to raise prices and lose customers in an effort to improve their bottom line, a leading insurance broker told Wall Street analysts on Wednesday.
In a conference [...]
Isn’t it reassuring to know our government is spying on all of us?

The Obama administration lifted the veil Tuesday on a highly-secretive set of policies to defend the U.S. from cyber attacks.

First I will state that I do not approve of bullying or of teenagers using Facebook or any social network site to make disparaging remarks about a classmate. BUT, the school over stepped it’s bounds.

It appears Sen. Bunning takes his right to object more seriously than the needs of people to eat and have a roof over their heads. What a jackass he is. I expect to see the Senate bypass his objections as soon as possible to get the much needed funds to the states.
March 2 (Bloomberg) — [...]
Good for Sen. Wyden. Is blocking unemployment benefits for those who can’t find a job in this awful economy a family value? What is wrong with Sen. Bunning?
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has vowed to prevent the Senate from extending any other expiring laws until it extends unemployment benefits and subsidized health insurance for laid off [...]
This was a bad bill when it was passed and it’s a bad bill now. It’s a violation of civil liberties and the Obama administration should be ashamed of continuing using terror as an excuse to spy on American citizens. The thirst for power and control knows no party.

The earthquake that hit Haiti was a 7.0, so this is a significantly stronger earthquake.
A massive earthquake rocked Chile early Saturday, killing at least 122 people and triggering a tsunami that threatened more than 50 countries and territories and sparked emergency plans to evacuate the coast of Hawaii.
