U.S. wanted to provoke war with Cuba in the 60's
Sunday, May 27, 2007
Here is an eye opening article from ABC News about a suggested way to initiate a war with CUBA in the 1960's.
I would hope something like this would never happen. Or maybe it already has happened but against a different country.

Pushing a baby stroller on a Segway... WTF!
Friday, May 25, 2007
I wouldn't believe it unless I saw this picture. I feel sorry for the lady on how clueless she is. What kind of person does this?
I don't even think it would work very well. It would be similar to backing up a trailer which as we all know can be tricky at times. Some people are just born stupid that's all there is to it.

Woman dies after being ignored at a hospital
Sunday, May 20, 2007
Michael Moore has a new film "Sicko" which is about the state of Americas health care system or lack thereof, is getting raving reviews and I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Speaking of which I stumbled on this story about a woman that was ignored while in the hospital waiting area. She was diagnosed, told to come back if there was pain, came back because of pain, ignored for 45 minutes because they thought she was a complainer, arrested for an outstanding warrant, and then died while being cuffed and stuffed.
Link to Story
My take on the health care system:
I was under the impression that rape was illegal but that is what happens to you when you get serviced by a hospital in the US. The hospitals are here to make money period, sure they will try to help you but the price tag at the end will be enormous for the smallest thing. I can guarantee that cancer, Aids, heart disease will never be cured. Why? Because there is no money in curing a disease. If cancer were cured tomorrow can you imagine the loss of profit of from hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, doctors, etc. Billions upon Billions would be lost and they aren't going to let that happen. They are probably kicking themselves for curing previous diseases because of all of the lost profits. Should it be free? No of course not, it should be affordable so peoples lives wouldn't be ruined when something happens to them and they need medical attention.

No wonder Michigan is cash strapped
Friday, May 11, 2007
It's no wonder Michigan is cash strapped when a 60 year old can work 13 days for the state and qualify for lifetime discounted medical, dental, and vision insurance.
Here is the story from the Detroit News.
So you are telling me Michigan has to enact a service tax instead of closing loopholes like this or cutting back welfare or other social services?
I swear any person that has any common sense whatsoever could balance this Michigan budget in about 45 minutes.
