Amazing that votes are cast on bills that are never read!

If you didn't see this before, you should see it now. House Judiciary Committee Member John Conyers announces that there is no point in reading bills that are 1000+ pages long.

Do you get that?! This is further evidence that the Representatives don't represent anybody but themselves.

Remarkable Pen That I Just Have to Get!

Okay, now this is what I call a pen!


I love that this pan is made of some serious materials...


Photo of the pen is right here...

It features a brash hard-anodized aerospace-grade aluminum body with a stainless steel clip and tip. The Pen II's nickel-plated pushbutton tailcap extends (and retracts) the ink tip so you're just a click away from laying down words with its Schmidt® Technology easyFLOW 9000 ink cartridge. And, it's always ready to do whatever you need to do.

Health Care Reform for America


Alright, now you probably know this as well as anybody. Health care Reform is trying to lower the costs to everybody while at the same time providing the best level of health care for all. There are three sides to this (at a minimum).

Cost to the doctors, cost to the patient, cost to the government (Medicare/Medicaid/VA Hospitals, etc.)

The doctors have fixed and varible costs associated with their service. One of these that is substantial but NEVER seems to be discussed it the Malpractice Insurance costs. The lawyers have been suing every doctor for major amounts of money for what the vast majority of people would see as minor problems.

Why isn't TORT REFORM a part of the Health Care Reform? Malpractice Insurance costs would drop considerably and lower the fixed costs for most.
