The U.S. Government Chimes In On Their Health Insurance Reform Plan

Aug 11, 2009 9:36 AM

The White House debunks myths about their “health care” reform plan on a new Reality Check section of their website. Topics covered include rationing, cost, seniors, burdening the government, and more!

I have submitted a request to the White House address the controversial excerpt of page 16 that all the right wing pundits have had a field day with lately.

Personally, I am fine with any solution that will reduce my health care expenses by any degree. Since we are already being rationed by insurance companies, I see no down side to a government option. Paying for health care is the single most cumbersome aspect of being American.

The Shack

Armin Vit on the new Radio Shack “The Shack” campaign:

Radio Shack needs a major overhaul and it should take advantage of the idiosyncratic products they carry that you can hardly find anywhere else, a sort of geek thrift store. The Shack campaign is insipid at best and harmful to the brand at worst.

As is usually the case, I mostly agree. However, the notion that Radio Shack needs a major overhaul is subjective. They are, after all, possibly the most profitable electronics retailer in the country.

The UNABRIDGED Strange Case of Francis Collins

Aug 7, 2009 8:35 AM

This is the full version of Sam Harris’ piece for the New York Times on Francis Collins’ appointment to the National Institute of Health. This took me three days to get through, but it was intriguing to the last drop. As to be expected, Mr. Harris’ case is dead pan reasonable.

Cold Stone Creamery Gotta Have It PB&C Shake. 2,010 calories. 131 g fat (68 g saturated). 153 g sugars

I love reading these articles. It makes all those high calorie beers I drink look light by comparison.

Portugal Fights It's Decay Into Anarchy Too

... by decriminalizing personal possession of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine.

I, myself, am in favor of decriminalizing all of the above drugs in America. Does this surprise you? It shouldn’t. I tend to favor ideas that have been proven to work.
