		<title>Healthcare - Has the tide finally shifted?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since healthcare is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US, you&#8217;d think it would have been more of a forefront issue over the years &#8212;especially for those right-wing-types who seem to live by the rule that money is all that matters. Healthcare has been on the minds of Americans for the past few years [...]]]></description>

		<title>98 percent of historians say Bush&#8217;s presidency has been a failure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well no shit!
&#160;
&#160;
President Bush often argues that history will vindicate him. So he can&#8217;t be pleased with an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted by the History News Network. It found that 98 percent of them believe that Bush&#8217;s presidency has been a failure, while only about 2 percent see it as a success. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Living and Dying in the Material World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me preface this by saying Democrats have certainly not always made the best decisions in the past few decades either. I&#8217;m not a Democrat and I&#8217;m not a Republican. I base my comments on the evidence of the past 25+ years, not on having a partisan ax to grind.
This post probably makes me sould [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Innocent Ban On Flatulence or An Attack On America? You Decide.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh my god, this shit is getting serious now.
I read with horror as I see our freedoms literally being stripped away&#8230;

Middle school issues ban on intentional flatulence
According to this week&#8217;s Fire Cracker school newsletter&#8230;the penalty for &#34;intentional farting&#34; is now a detention.
One of the other students, Kyle Ruger, said the act by the boys was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As if hunting and eating them was not enough, those wacky Japanese have decided to also humiliate whales by making them wear Santa Hats. Now this definitely IS anthrophomorphism.

In a rapid fire test of mental addition, monkeys performed almost as well as college students, showing they&#8217;re no slouches when it comes to number crunching.
The macaques got their sums right 76 percent of the time, while the students got the correct answer 94 percent of the time in a series of increasingly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Pregnant Women Don&#8217;t Tip Over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is some amazing stuff. A fascinating work of science. If they would teach science this way in school (emphasizing&#160; fun, practical, and/or offbeat applications) then more kids would pay attention in school.
Why pregnant women don&#8217;t tip over
There seems to be more keeping pregnant women upright than fear of toppling over and squishing their unborn [...]]]></description>

 Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which [...]]]></description>

But finally I&#8217;ve been inspired and found something that I&#8217;d like to share with the world. This is the kind of thing that makes me proud [...]]]></description>

Goodbye to one of the 80&#8217;s greed queens. I wonder if she was able to &#34;take it with her?&#34;

		<title>The economy&#8217;s great and here drink this kool-aid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day the prez came on TV to reassure everyone that the economy&#8217;s great and that people should keep on spending themselves into a debt blackhole because it&#8217;s good for the economy. The first thing I thought was &#34;This guy&#8217;s on crack!&#34; But then I remembered that he&#8217;s detached from reality and a fucking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ding Dong Karl Rove Is Dead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Karl &#34;Mr. Divisive&#34; Rove announced his resignation yesterday. But I&#8217;m sure rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated.
When I heard this on the news yesterday the first thing that I thought was that he&#8217;s quitting the Bush team so that he can go work for whoever the republican front-runner turns out to be. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The paint by numbers way of life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reading this post about a guitar solo got me thinking about how people interact with the world. Seems like a stretch doesn&#8217;t it? The guitarist in the video is technically very good. There&#8217;s no doubt about it. However to me he&#8217;s also quite soulless&#8212;kind of like an animitron. His playing reminded me of a couple [...]]]></description>

A while back I posted about the fucked up nature of the US healthcare system. This is a bit of a continuation of that theme. A bit of backstory&#8230;I take two prescription medications [...]]]></description>

Clinton and Edwards caught on tape discussing limiting the debates and wanting &#34;a more serious and a smaller group&#34; ie getting rid of those pesky other candidates who just screw up things for the biggies in the race.
