For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life... (John 3:17)
Quote by Raine:
McCain offers market based health plan...
[...]McCain's prescription would seek to lure workers away from their company health plans with a $5,000 family tax credit and a promise that, left to their own devices, they would be able to find cheaper insurance that is more tailored to their health-care needs and not tied to a particular job.[...]
Basically it is the same plan that Bush touted. :rolleyes:

'Tis indeed an excellent blog.
Here's the thing - one which many talking heads are gawking at - many, many black people, and gay people, DO believe that the Gov't had something to do with AIDS. So, do you just "poo-poo" their feelings? After the Tuskegee Experiment is it so hard to deny these people that belief?
"YES" according to most of these "newscasters" and neo-con blow-hards.
Well.......... FUCK THEM.
Quote by livingonli:
A belated good morning everyone. I was listening but a little sluggish this morning.
Yeah, I am a perfect example of how well the Bush policies have done for the economy.
And speaking of fees, driving down to DC, it seems like every so many miles I had to stop and pay a frickin' toll between the Verrazano and the Harbor Day Tunnel in Baltimore.
Quote by starling310:
Here's what I about my lady friend. . . she believes a lot of these same lies that Donnie believes. She's not annoying in how she does it, but I think that goes without saying. She told me that she likes Thomas Friedman! :thud:
And, the other night expressed confusion about "well, it is a Global Economy, etc, etc, etc."
It's amazing how differently the conversation goes when you have someone open and willing to connecting the dots and having that "Ah Ha" moment when they realize that perhaps everything they hear on Corporate Television, or read in Corporate Press isn't necessarily true.
She has decided to start reading about History and listening to Thom Hartmann; I told her that is pretty much where I have learned the most in the past 5 years.

My trip to DC definitely changed my mind about Mass Transit. I used to be one of those "I will never give up my car" people. Now, I find myself wishing I lived in a community where I could travel by rail, cab, bus, bike, etc. . .

Quote by livingonli:
That is the drawback to living on Long Island is that you pretty much need the car to get around. While there is public transportation, it is really only viable if you want to go into New York City. Between the cost of gas and the aging of my car, I more and more wish I had a job in the city so I could take the train instead of drive. (Not to mention hopefully have something that pays more money).

Quote by velveeta jones:
OMG I would LOVE to have one of those old Kodak hand held 8mm's. GREAT cameras. Seriously. You can make majorly cool short films with them. See if your Dad still has it. (Not the Super 8's). You can still get the film developed. Worth playing around with.

Quote by TriSec:
I'm just a hair under 4 miles door to door.
On a good day, I can get here faster by bike than by driving, but generally around 20 minutes one way. It is all flat, and I have the advantage of a dedicated bike trail down the river that is free of traffic. I also only have two street crossings to deal with.
In Massachusetts, "Ride your bike to work week" is coming up, May 12-16. I don't know if that's a national thing. In any case, the company's "Green Team" is putting on a big to-do about it.

Randi Rhodes Returns To XM - 4/30 - DCRTV tipped you off a few days ago. And now XM announces that lefty talker Randi Rhodes will return to the DC-based satellite broadcaster's lineup on 5/5. The new "Randi Rhodes Show," which is syndicated by Nova M Radio, will air weekdays from 3 PM to 6 PM on XM's liberal political talk channel, Air America (XM-167). Rhodes got canned from her Air America radio network gig (unrelated to XM's Air America channel) a few weeks ago after she made rude comments about Hillary Clinton and other Democrats at a public appearance in San Francisco.....
Cablevision To Bid For Newsday - 4/29 - Reuters reports that Cablevision make a joint bid for Long Island newspaper Newsday that would match or top rival offers of about $580 million from media titans Rupert Murdoch and Mortimer Zuckerman. Cablevision is considering a bid with Jared Kushner, owner of the New York Observer newspaper. Kushner approached Cablevision a couple of weeks ago about making a joint bid to buy Newsday from Tribune Company. Newsday is for sale at a time when newspapers are commanding low prices because of shrinking advertising sales and declining profits. Still, it has provoked a bidding war between News Corporation chief Murdoch and New York Daily News owner Zuckerman, who want to give advertisers a way to reach wealthy residents on Long Island and to cut printing costs....

Yay. Starling likes the Vespa! They're really cute. I've seen more golf carts on the neighborhood streets, too. I'm not too sure how legal they are, but what the hell. You can charge the battery at home. In the Palm Springs area, they have golf cart lanes - tres groovy. My uncle had a blast. Especially nice in the summer because you don't have to get in a boiling hot car.
