Never have three periods meant so much. The on going Healthcare debate is one that is riddled with so many opinions and point of views, it’s like a drama that never ends. We all have heard the endless new stories and headlines… but what does it all really mean? In recent weeks we have heard that the Democrats have abandoned a public option. Congressman, Alan Grayson, has become a Youtube star with his house speeches against the Republican opposition. Then there’s the insurance companies anti-trust exemption which comes from, the McCarran- Ferguson Act, which was passed to “protect” state regulation of insurance companies. However, insurance companies need antitrust immunity like America needs a another war. So it is no surprise that health insurance premiums have soared through the roof and there’s no competition. So wouldn’t that call for a public option? Some say the repeal of the anti-trust exemption act would not make much of a difference for the real problem is federal and their lack of involvement, never really holding insurance companies accountable.
Yes, you read right, Sarah Palin is back. We all will be seeing and hearing more from this Alaskan hockey mom very soon. Her book is coming out next week and she has just began her media tour.
Lou Dobbs has resigned. According to reports his resignation will be effective immediately. After CNN came in fourth for Election Night 2009 and the recent petitions that have been going around,”Lou Dobbs Tonight” will be no more. One of my most popular post was “Drop Dobbs ?” posted roughly a month ago. Many had different views on his style of journalism and his racially charged debates. I am sure the king of controversy will have some great last words for his viewers. Be sure to tune in tomorrow night 7 pm ET on CNN. Details are still unclear on exactly why but many view this new as a victory… How do you feel?
The pirates of Somalia are still at it, attacking an oil tanker yesterday.
As I browsed the blogs and internet hours after the Rihanna’s GMA interview. I came to a really said conclusion. Misogyny is still a huge issue. Misogyny is defined as hatred, dislike or mistrust of women. Look at porn, it is a multi-billion dollar industry enjoyed by both men & women. However, the problem emerges when people cannot separate a porno from reality. Women are not objects, sexual tools and weak. And though some women may act that way, that is not how all women are. So Rihanna didn’t get abused because she “deserve it” or ”failed to check herself”, as I have read. It is these misogynistic views that feed into the sick cycle of hate and violence that plagues our world today. All men were brought into this world by the labor and care of a woman. Ironically so, the misogynistic, male chauvinistic ideals are still woven into the fabric of our society, corrupting the minds of our youth. I feel sad for the man that does not know a woman’s worth and even more sad for the woman that does not know her own. May the cycle be broken by a new generation that learns to understand that men and women are unconditionally equal and should be treated as such!
A wise man once said, never wear your heart on your sleeve because someone will have it for breakfast. I believe this saying is so true. However, the biggest risk is not taking one at all. There are TV shows that thrive on the risk of not taking a risk. Deal or no Deal, Survivor, Who want to be a Millionaire, Amazing Race, The Price is Right, etc. Risk in many ways is what life is all about. So before I got to bed, I think of my heart and how I put it into everything I do, both big and small. Though the downsides can be great, the rewards are always greater and I wouldn’t change that part of me for the world. So, may everyone stay true to who they really are, despite this crazy world we all live in. A new day is a new risk… So… Breakfast Anyone?
