One of the biggest problems that plagues our nations health and wasn’t really discussed during the healthcare reform debate is about to get bigger: Up to a third of U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050 if Americans continue to gain weight and avoid exercise, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention projected on Friday. […]
Something I have been meaning to do is figure up the cost impact of health care for people with diabetics. Most insurance policies don’t cover diabetic testing supplies. That gives diabetics an extra $100-$120 expense every month. I want to take a minute and figure up what premiums plus average out of pocket expenses would […]
I had a feeling this would happen. In all honest I don’t blame President Obama for it, I blame the weak-kneed Democrats: Rebuffed this month by skeptical lawmakers when it sought finances to buy a prison in rural Illinois, the Obama administration is struggling to come up with the money to replace the Guantánamo Bay […]
Our nation received the following letter: Dear America; Your nations highways are a disgrace. Your bridges collapse anytime a car drives over them, and your roads are the equivalent to driving down railroad tracks. It’s truly amazing that you still have a population at all, let alone an auto industry. Perhaps you should look into […]
It looks like the brilliance of George Bush is contagious: An Italian scientist predicted a major earthquake around L’Aquila weeks before disaster struck the city on Monday, killing dozens of people, but was reported to authorities for spreading panic among the population.

This is amazing. Here is a picture of the line to vote yesterday in my home county of Butler County, Ohio. That line was over two hours long and it has prompted officials to open early voting today (Sunday). To give you an idea of Butler County, it’s population is around 350,000. There aren’t any […]
Right Wing News conducts their own little poll of right wing blogs about the election. Here’s just a sample of their findings: 2) Do you think Sarah Palin has been a plus or a minus to the ticket? A) Minus: 9% (7) B) Plus: 91% (68) This just shows you how out of touch with […]
Sarah Palin’s constant talk about being the mother of a special needs child needs to stop. She has spent only 5 months in this role and right now she is at the best times. Growing up with a brother who is autistic, and was diagnosed at a time when the word autism was foreign to […]
My God could Gwen Ifill have been any more slanted towards Biden? Ok – had to get that little joke out of my system. Despite having one hell of a cold, I managed to watch the whole thing. Honestly, it was exactly what I expected it to be. No massive screw ups from either candidate. […]
