Healthcare Follow-Up: “Health spending went up 6.9 percent in 2005, approaching $2 trillion. The total amount represents about $1 of every $6 spent in the United States, compared with about $1 out of every $10 in the early 1980s.” But that’s slower growth. Yay, I guess. More on the Governator’s plan. And smacked down by his in-laws! Let Mr. Kennedy show you what a real universal coverage plan looks like.
The Bare Minimum: By now everybody knows about the minimum wage hike bill going through Congress right now. I wonder if it will be vetoed. In any event, here’s Life at America’s Bottom Wage and U.S. Home Prices Unaffordable for Many Workers.
You want to put what where? The SMU community isn’t sure they want the Bush Library. Go, Mustangs!

“Surge” is something storms and waves do, not American troops. Some sage words. Seriously though, “storm surge” was what destroyed parts of New Orleans. “Surge” cannot and will not put Iraq together again. Let’s call it what it is: escalation.
Make it as secure as you like, your employees will manage to find ways around it. The problem of corporate security in a webmail world.
If you want to fix the picture, you’d better take a look at the frame. Issues important to women, and the media that undermines them.
And finally, obligatory comparison of iPhone to other devices. The biggest difference, of course, it that you can get the other devices today. Pull up a bowl of popcorn and let’s watch the legal battle ensuing. Um, yeah. Cisco owns the trademark to iPhone, and has since purchasing it in 2000. The trademark was created in 1996, which means it predates the original iMac. Cisco even has a product called the iPhone. Oops!
yeah yeah, nice blog sweetie, but can you cook?
Islamofacist is a nice word. What it the kind of facism that use words like “Homeland security” and “surge?”
what about the device called: iVehadenuff? I am captivated by watching the wholesale capitulation of control over ones self and privacy by the American people (and the rest of the developed world) The means to eat, the availibility cash, means of transportation – all have been concentrated into fewer and fewer hands… The access to information… and now every wants to be constantly availible, locateable, photographed and recorded.
and let me follow that up with noting the increase in HUMAN cases of bird flue in Indonesia… ya ever wonder if bovine spongiform encephalephcy was terrorism against the West and that The Bird Flue may be the retaliation?
