Yesterday a friend sent me an e-mail in reference to the Emergency Stabilization Act (Bail-Out Act). My friend is a good man, and he maintains an open interest and mind in current events. When he sent me this email I saw it as open inquiry to the sad state of affairs in which we find ourselves regarding the current economic crisis. We are all looking for answers and understanding. How did we get here? What do we do now? Continue Reading »

The title of their article is misleading, but hey, whatever! Marrying folk now have options :
State will change marriage licenses to say ‘bride’ and ‘groom‘
By Jennifer Garza – jgarza@sacbee.com
Published 5:42 pm PDT Monday, October 6, 2008
[…Bride and groom are in. Party A and Party B are out.
California state officials, saying they had heard from residents all over the state who would like to be identified as “bride” and “groom” on their marriage license, announced Monday that state forms will be changed. Again.
Couples filling out the license will now have the option of declaring themselves bride and groom, bride and bride or groom and groom. They can also leave the space blank. The new forms will be available in county offices in November….]

I could tell when I perused the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post last evening that things are getting pretty heated in Colorado. Worried Obots and other oddballs were leaving comments all over the article pages. So I wasn’t surprised to find this: Continue Reading »

As a force to be reckoned with, the California Nurses Association (CNA) is formidable. Ask Arnold. The organization advocates universal healthcare, based on a single payer system, and improved and expanded Medicare. These are all nicely progressive ideas with which, as a Democrat, I agree, although Obama does not.
In addition, they are actively campaigning for a similar solution: HR 676 in Congress, and SB 840 in California. Continue Reading »

The Face of a Bail Out
Lost in the shuffle over the bail out bill passage was the fact that it actually had another name. The bill was attached to the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health and Parity Act. The passage of this act is important, as noted on the Wellstone Website:
[…The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 is a major step forward to end discrimination in insurance coverage for people with mental illness and substance abuse disorders….]
Read their history to see why. http://www.wellstone.org/
Hillary Clinton put out a news release in honor of the Wellstone passage: Continue Reading »

What did you learn about the candidates’ platforms Thursday night?
McClatchy reported that the VPOTUS debate viewer pool was 70 million; 40% larger than the POTUS debate. That the previous debate between McCain and Obama was reportedly the least watched ever televised is astounding, considering the ferment this election cycle has created.
I found I had to agree with the comments made on the Bill Moyer Show last night. None of the POTUS or VPOTUS candidates have yet really addressed how the current economic crisis has affected their platforms. Perhaps, it really is too early, but it is disconcerting to recognize once again that the solons we choose sometimes have no better crystal ball than we. Continue Reading »
