My Outlook on Life
Nerds- The best kind of people in the world. The brightest, smartest, most talented group of students in the universe. We'll study as much as we can and we are not afraid to take it to the library. We will most likely own our own companies and make 500,000 dollars a year. We'll be proud to be 30 with homes in six states and be notorious for deal making. Ladies love us. Guys want to be us. We are the brains of the universe.

Music Monday (9/21/09)
Taylor Swift has finally crept out from the shadows of the twitter world. She had not tweeted since the VMA incident and many fans were worried that she was going to remain out of the public eye from now on, but they were presently surprised at 5:45 PM when Taylor tweeted "Just picked out the exact dimensions of my future fireplace. It was exhilarating." through her twitter account (@taylorswift13). In honor of her returning I am dedicating my Music Monday list to Taylor Swift songs of the 'slower' gener.
1. The Best Day by Taylor Swift
2. Tim McGraw by Taylor Swift
3. Breathe by Taylor Swift feat. Colbie Caillet
4. Tied Together With a Smile by Taylor Swift
5. Mary's Song (Oh My My My) by Taylor Swift

Jimmy Kimmel Spoof..."A Swift Kick in the Nuts"
I won't ruin it so look at this very funny clip of the Jimmy Kimmel Show titled "A Swift Kick in the Nuts".
Republicans say if healthcare reform is passed they won't talk to Obama
Great analysis from The Young Turks in this clip. A Republican Congressman said that if health care reform is passed, he and the party would not speak to the President until he repealed his programs of 'tyranny'. How are we suppose to get legislation passed if 40% of Congress doesn't speak...well on second thought that kind of sounds nice.

FOX News claims CNN didn't cover teaparty rally
Rick Sanchez, a CNN anchor, brings the hammer down own FOX News who ran a full page ad in the Washington Post claiming that CNN and many other networks did not cover the rally. Whats ironic is not the CNN did in fact extensively cover it, or that Bill O'Reilly even did a segment on CNN's coverage, but that in the ad FOX used a photo taken by a CNN TV camera. In the add claiming CNN hadn't covered the story they used evidence of CNN covering the event. I have no more words to describe the complete boldness of FOX News' lies.

UPDATE
According to Fox News they meant that the other networks did not cover the 'real' story. Really, according to this clip the producers of Fox News are whipping the crowd to make them more excited for a broadcast. I don't think that's journalism and I'm pretty sure its not fair and balanced.
Informed People for a Public Option
Recently saw a Downingtown West group labeled stop government run healthcare care which had a lot of misleading information. They were not open to differing opinion so I created my own group. Below are some quotes and my analysis.
"the government needs to eliminate the public option because a single payer system will bring down private insurance."
--Two things are wrong with this. One the public option is not single payer it acts just like a private insurance company it just has less overhead and no profit. Second your argument is that the prices the government can provide, without receiving taxpayer money, will be so good private insurance can't compete...isn't that what I want!
"our health care is the best in the world"
--While the US does have very advanced medical techniques the availability of these is EXTREMELY limited to only the very rich. This is why our life expectancy is lower than other countries such as France.
"arnt we over 9 trillion dollars in debt? there is no possible way we can afford a 900 billion dollar healthcare plan"
--Actually it is only 1.56 trillion and much of this is from the Bush Administration who, during stable economic times, increased the defect by over a trillion dollars. And if nothing is done to revamp the healthcare system Americans will have to pay more in taxes to pay for those who receive treatment from a hospital but don't have insurance.
