Democrats Plan Health Care vote next week

    Democrats are planning to have the big vote on this controversial health care bill sometime next week. President Obama even delayed his trip to the south east in order to make sure this thing gets passed.
I’m delighted that the president will be here for the passage of the bill, It’s going to be historic. And it would not be possible without his tremendous, tremendous leadership, his persistence, his concern for the American people, always guided by his statement that we will measure our success by the progress being made by America’s working families.”

This is what Nancy Pelosi said to reporters earlier today as she found out that Obama will be staying for the vote. Let's hope they can actually get this thing done and move on to some other topic like the torture debate like in the post right below this one about the topic.

Complete Interview

Marc Thiessen gets to make his point after being steam-rolled over by John on his show last night. All three videos are below where he can finally get his point out.
Part 1


He mentions in this next one that at one time Paul Rester was able to get information on a rat line going from Yemen to Pakistan for only 5 Snickers Bars, showing that you don't always have to water board people.
Part 2


Part 3


I have to say it, but when I was watching this on tv last night, and saw what John was doing to Marc, it almost reminded me of watching Bill O'Rielly just telling a guest to "Shut Up" and not letting them get their point out, and it scared the **** out of, thinking that John has spent too much time watching him trying to get funny stuff from his show. At least in the end Marc was able to get his point across

One more reason to pass this thing

On his latest show this morning, Rush Limbaugh has stated that if this health care bill is passed in it's current form and they follow through with it, that he will leave this country and go to Costa Rica. I know that some people are saying now, "That's all it would take? THANK GOD" and such, but he does have a point. If this passed, over the next couple of years we will be in even more debt, about another 1 trillion dollars into debt, but on the bright side, no more Rush. We have to ask ourselves this one question, is it worth it?

Cisco to change the Internet

Cisco systems has made a rather bold statement today. They claim that their new router, named the CRS-3, will "forever change the internet", Claiming that it can download the entire library of Congress in less than a second, live stream every movie ever made, and letting every single person in china to make a video call simultaneously. So ... I know your next question, when can I expect to be able to get this? and how much? Cisco says that sometime later this year it will be out, but no price has been stated. I just want to know when can I start the downloading, I have about 8 TB of space, waiting to be filled.

Left and Right, United?

Both Republicans and Democrats are united in opposition of the latest controversial ruling from the Supreme Court. The SCOUTUS ruling gave corporations an extension on their "freedom of speech" and allowed them to donate an unlimited amount of money to political campaigns. They have actual polls to back this up (Not FOX polls)
Even more remarkable may be that opposition by Republicans, Democrats, and Independents were all near the same 80% opposition range. Specifically, 85% of Democrats, 81% of Independents, and 76% of Republicans opposed it.

This goes to show us, the one way we can get both parties on the same side is to find a common opponent, the Supreme Court.

Corporate Rights

Senator Chris Dodd is not too happy with the recent ruling from the supreme court, giving corporations the right to donate unlimited amounts of money to political campaigns as a form of free speech. This upsets him, and presumably a lot more senators, that he is doing the one thing that can overrule a supreme court verdict, he is going to try and make it a constitutional amendment, stating that corporations can't donate an unlimited amount of money. To be honest, it seems sad that it has to come down to an amendment to limit corporate involvement in politics, and I was expecting a picture of someone sitting in the senate wearing a nascar suit with all the patches on it.


Fiscal Responsibility, Hawaiian Style
