Religion and Politics

Filed in National by on December 4, 2008 52 Comments

Remember the days when one wasn’t supposed to discuss Religion and Politics in polite society?  Just like announcing how much you paid for something, it was considered tacky.  I sorta miss those days.  But, since the 1980s, not only has a person’s spiritual beliefs spilled into every social setting known to man, it has shaped […]

I’m so sick of him

Have Republicans found their Barack Obama in Bobby Jindal?  Some seem to think so.  After all, he’s young (37), not white (Indian), and smart (Rhodes Scholar).  Surely that’s the new winning combination.  And I guess this makes sense for a party who’s struggling to look past the surface.   Youth is the new Republican buzz […]

Filed in National by on November 28, 2008 39 Comments

And we were worried about a run on the banks. A Wal-Mart worker died after being trampled when hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors of a Long Island store Friday morning, police and witnesses said. The 34-year-old worker, employed as an overnight stock clerk, tried to hold back the unruly crowds just after the Valley Stream store opened at 5 […]

Is this procedure covered?

Filed in National by on November 24, 2008 8 Comments

After “Am I going to die?”, and sometimes even before, “Is this procedure covered?” has to be one of the most asked question of Doctors.  And, frankly, I resent it.  I resent the fact that Insurance companies have forced their way into my Doctor/Patient relationship.  I resent that they have the ultimate veto power over […]

A Sign that Obama Plans to Act on Healthcare Immediately

Filed in National by on November 19, 2008 18 Comments

Although it’s not official sources are reporting that Obama has chosen Tom Daschle as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Busy Bush

Filed in National by on November 19, 2008 3 Comments

While we all debate Obama’s cabinet decisions and the Dems inaction action towards Lieberman, Bush has been a very busy bee.  Given his dismal approval rating and the fact that, given a choice, the American people would have voted to end his term beginning November 5th instead of waiting until January, you’d think he’d spend his […]
