Here I sit, again, writing at my dining room table, with doors fully open, the smell of jasmine and roses, lavendar and rosemary gentlingin on the breeze. I’ve just been reading news reports and emails regarding the oil well explosion tragically killing 11 workers and the resulting break in the pipeline that is decimating the [...]
Sedition:
an illegal action inciting resistance to lawful authority and tending to cause the disruption or overthrow of the government Sedition is a term of law which refers to overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority as tending toward insurrection against the established order. … The Republicans have stirred up [...] I’m so proud that the healthcare bill has passed. In our family (my mom, me and my 10-year old daughter) we pay almost $2,000/month for coverage and prescription medications. That’s stunning. My mother cannot shop for different providers because she has Type 2 diabetes and pays to be covered in a more expensive group [...]
Couldn’t sleep, so I decided to take a shower at 4:30 am. When I’m that wired, it usually indicates I’ve got a lot on my plate and I haven’t got my process for dealing with that plate sorted out. So, shower it was. And in the shower, my mind has a tendency to wander [...]
CNN Money’s Fortune has a great columnist, Anne Fisher. In answering questions, she finds ways to pass along some great tidbits of helpful advice. Today’s column was a winner. A reader asked about the pros and cons of moving to find work in a different city. Her response was good and even-handed, but what [...]
When you turn 50 that sets you up for a series of tests to see how unhealthy you are becoming. So far I’ve had my annual physical…resting heart seems to be fine. Waiting on the blood tests. Mammogram fine. Bone density…not so good. Some calcium deterioration. It’s called “osteopenia”. Fun. Still have the stress [...]
OK. So healthcare reform is on the table. For real. At the risk of losing more subscribers, I’ll declare — I’m actually a single-payer supporter. If you aren’t sure what that means, I support a federal health care program run by and supported by the government, providing equal access to healthcare for all. This [...]
On August 20th, I wrote a blog post (again) about healthcare reform. In it, I focused on the cost of insurance for anyone not insured through their employer, or with a pre-existing condition. One reader, Lisa Alkana, made a very good comment, on what to me, seems like a basic human right. Her comment [...]
By now, the news of Republican Senator Jim DeMint’s comments to the GOP that defeating healthcare reform would “break” Obama is old news. That conference call comment struck such a sad, sad chord in my heart. The polarization of politics has absolutley trumped the welfare of the American people. Isn’t this country supposed to be [...]
Some days I feel like I’m a character in a 1945 black and white depression story, where there are food bank lineups, girls with holes in their socks and boys with holes in the toes of their shoes. Characters meet on the streets and rather than greeting each other with the typical LA style, [...]
