  • Report: 79 Million Have Trouble Paying Medical Bills
    1 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    An estimated 79 million adults in the United States are now having problems paying medical bills or are paying off medical debt.
    This according to a new report by the Commonwealth Fund. Declining insurance coverage and rising healthcare costs are also contributing to the sick skimping on needed care. 45 percent of adults reported that the high costs of healthcare prevented them from getting needed care in 2007.
    Karen Davis, the president of the Commonwealth Fund said, "These findings (…)

  • Sarah Palin Is NOT The Mother [Photos+Video]

    Yesterday, with the news of Sarah Louise Heath Palin inexplicably being chosen as a Vice-Presidential nominee, the attentive American public was also introduced to her character. Unfortunately for all of us, it was filled with multiple instances of backtracking and outright lies. While Alaskans had been giving her an 80% approval rating, recently 87% of Alaskans polled on the subject of TrooperGate believed she was lying.
    Now, I’ve known liars in my life. Their single core problem is not (…)

    The similarities, at least at this early stage of Gustav’s development, aren’t lost on the Mainstream media either.
    After the devastation of Katrina was allowed to happen to New Orleans with this damage occurring mainly after the curious explosive ‘failure’ of the levies, I stated in several interviews that I believed that New Orleans should NOT be rebuilt. Only the (…)

  • US Nuclear Terrorism, Global Warming, Genocide - Why Sarah Palin is UNFIT for office
    30 August 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    US Nuclear Terrorism, Global Warming, Global Poverty, Genocide and Mass Paedocide (Mass infanticide) are horrendous current realities supported by the Bush-ite Republicans and neo-Bush-ite Democrats - and key reasons why Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is utterly unfit for ANY office.
    It would be fine to have a woman VP or a woman President - if only because the Men have made such an awful mess of America and the World. However just as Hillary Clinton was unfit for (…)

    JOHN MCCAIN: A MATTER OF CHARACTER
    John Chuckman
    McCain does a good job with the appearance of a boyishly honest man.
    He puts on his quiet voice and uses his boyish (albeit now partially fossilized) expressions and, reminding me of Richard Nixon during something like his Checkers speech, sometimes glances down at his well-shined shoes, as though wordlessly to say, see what a good boy I am.
    McCain’s actual record of ethics and behavior is rather dreary, and it is a (…)

    “It would be difficult to identify a President who, facing major international and domestic crises, has failed in both as clearly as President Bush,” concluded one respondent. “His domestic policies,” another noted, “have had the cumulative effect of shoring up a semi-permanent aristocracy of capital that dwarfs the aristocracy of land against which the founding fathers rebelled; of encouraging a mindless retreat from science and rationalism; and of crippling the nation’s economic base.” (…)

  • No to nuclear power
    27 August 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    This article is in response to Will Marshall ’s comments on National Public Radio’s (91.7 FM) Evening Edition ( August 26, 2008 ) on nuclear power that were wrong from top to bottom. He claims that it is green. However, fossil fuels and therefore, carbon dioxide production, are required for the mining, milling, and transport of uranium and for the construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning of nuclear power plants. When the richer uranium mines are used up, the poor ones remaining (…)

    “The next six months are going to tell the story.” - Sen. Joe Biden pontificating on the illegal Iraq War on 12/18/05.
    The Democratic Party has a death wish! There is no other rational explanation for hapless Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) ending up as Sen. Barack Obama’s VP running mate. For starters, the presidential election is about getting a majority of the electoral votes. Delaware “only” has three electoral votes! And, Biden isn’t a sure thing to carry even them for Obama. He’s a motor (…)

    Somewhere between George Bush and Noam Chomsky, who believe the 9/11 Commission Report, and David Ray Griffin, who believes "the Bush-Cheney administration orchestrated 9/11" (Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11, 2006, p. vii-viii, ), there is Peter Dale Scott.
