Tell Speaker Boehner Who He Should be Crying For
Below, share your personal struggle with the healthcare system (anonymously if you prefer) or share other reasons for concern (like how millions will fall into poverty if Congress cuts Medicare) with Speaker Boehner.
Will You Cry for Me, John Boehner?
I shared my story, or is it Barbara’s? Continue reading
I am slowly coming out to more of my friends, and close family I have not seen in a while. It’s scary not knowing how they will react. So far, those who have reacted at all have been accepting. Continue reading
WikiLeaks. If you are at all informed, you’ve probably heard of the site. Maybe you have no idea what they do, or you do, and you just aren’t interested. Well, if you believe like me that the First Amendment was first for a reason, you should be interested. Credo Action is circulating a petition to save the site from what is tantamount to official oppression. See below the text of the email they are asking me to send to you, my dear reader.

Mike Huckabee lauds ousting of Iowa justices over gay marriage, courts evangelicals.
Mike Huckabee is one scary guy. And this isn’t a recent revelation for me. Allow me to direct you to my past commentary on his 2008 Presidential run. Pay particular attention to An Alternative Future History. Change a few minor details, and this is still a very real scenario. The people in question (Palin, Huckabee) really do seem to believe that a Christian theocracy is the only thing that would “save this nation” from itself.
… Although Bill Flores, a retired Bryan energy executive, has said all creditors were fully repaid with interest, court records show otherwise. The 1992 bankruptcy allowed Marine Rig 200 Inc. to repay just $3 million of $10.5 million owed to the U.S. Maritime Administration, which held the mortgage on a drilling rig the company owned. …
This from a man who “insists that private companies shouldn’t rely on the government for subsidies or financing.”
Can you tell I’m from Texas? Nothing better than Gary P. Nunn and Jerry Jeff Walker when I’m feeling low!

Maybe you would benefit from these words from our President. Or maybe you think he’s secretly Muslim too.
Killed Transocean oil worker was fiercely concerned about BP safety standards
Jason Anderson of Texas made extensive plans for his family in the weeks before the Deepwater Horizon accident. He was preparing in case of his death, according to his wife, because he was that worried about the safety of the rig.
“They were getting pressure from someplace higher up to do things that maybe weren’t exactly the way Jason thought that they should be,” [Jason’s wife] said. “It was a safety issue.”
“Jason’s father told us Jason was concerned that BP, which controlled the rig, kept wanting to stray from procedures to finish the well faster, which Jason considered unsafe,” [NBC’s Lisa] Myers reported.
I said it before
It’s time we remember the dead, and start to discuss the value of human life. The ecological damage is terrible, but so is the blatant disregard for the life of those roughnecks.
The more I hear about how this rig was [mis-]managed, the more I believe that it is time for the corporate death penalty. What do you think?
