What’s happening in the world?
- Looks like we’re headed for a government shutdown. I have my fingers crossed that the Democrats have their messaging down pat because the GOP may have just handed the White House, the Senate and the House to the Dems. I’m lovin’ 2012!!!
- Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been tapped to be DNC chair. A little disappointing, as I think she was a fabulous representative. Tim Kane is leaving the DNC chair spot to run for Senate.
- Paul Ryan’s budget plan is asking the poor to shepherd the majority of the burden of balancing the budget.
- In case you’re wondering, this is what a government shutdown looks like.
- Ezra Klein has broken down the Congressional Budget Office’s assessment of Paul Ryan’s budget. It is exactly as we expected. The restructuring of Medicare will cost the elderly more money.
- Freshman representative Jeff Landry is making me nauseated as he fawns over big oil CEOs.
- Robert Reich is right again.
- A retired oil executive has purchased the first Chevy Volt in Western North Carolina. That’s pretty cool.
- A woman who appears to be mentally unstable has attacked a Paul Gauguin painting at the National Museum.
I read your article in the Asheville citizen times . Good points you made about unequal medical care . You should know your a doctor ,I wish other doctors would speak up .
Thanks, I appreciate it.
They should have gone with Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the first place like they planned (rumors of course.) They really prepped her for the job. We did really appreciate her here in Florida, though.
I had read she was keeping her seat.
Donald Trump was on the Today show this morning. He is such a tv star it is hilarous loves to see himself on tv just like Palin and Bachmann.Reminds me of the balloon boy parents. He is just like the tv show he produces everything for the ratings and more money in his pocket. When asked about Libya he stated he wanted the oil. Now oil was not why we were helping the people. It might be for Italy and France but not for the US. He just has alot of money and hopefully will employ a bunch of unemployed people and spend money in US companies for his campaign.
I have to say the job of the future is going to me marine biology. Wish that was my field. From the oil spill to the radiation and the warming of the oceans. I am waiting for the giant creatures to come out of the ocean. Being a old show Godzilla and Mothra fan no one knows what we are cooking in the ocean….
nice thought but it doesn’t pay well. unless you can figure out a way to get big oil to for marine biologists they will continue to be unpaid by universities.
I would always see it as a new and interesting times. My boss’s son is one and works on the Great Barrier Reef. To me that would be the life.
i hope that she keeps her job in the House. that would be awesome.
She is a great congresswoman. One of a kind.
