Today is the start of a little different format for this blog, usually it has consisted of rants I do on a particular topic. From now on I will list all of the events from the previous days that are of interest to me and what I think of them. Open to discussion; hopefully this will create more of a dialogue amongst people that follow me =-)
In the news today the House Democrats of the United States of America finally passed the Health Reform bill by a very narrow margin. The concession that President Obama made that sealed the deal was a promise to sign an executive order banning the federal funding of abortions. What remains to be seen is the validity of this executive order as they are routinely overturned by the judicial branch. One man's opinion is not the opinion of the country. Either way, the bill was signed into law and we just wasted another $922B as a country.
Former President Clinton spared no one as he gave a speech to the Gridiron Club. Poking fun at everyonce from Al Gore, to President Obama, to Dick Cheney to himself. While I was never a fan of the former President I find what he said to be quite funny.
Lady Gaga (one of my favorite artists before she became mainstream) is in the news recently. She is getting sued by her former manager and ex-lover who claims he was cheated out of royalties from several songs he co-wrote as well as giving the young superstar her stage name. He is asking for $30M which only begs the question: How much money has this young woman made?? GEEEZ
Another interesting story: A judge ruled that Anna Nicole Smith was not in fact supposed to be the recipient of her late husband's oil fortune. What I find interesting is #1 that this is still in the news and #2 how this is even an issue after the woman's death? Comments are appreciated.
Moron of the day award goes to Jesse James: You're a two-bit welder who got lucky enough to rise from the depths of white trash hell to some sort of fame and money and you mess it up. You my friend are a moron.
So, that's whats important to me today my friends on this dreary, rain ridden Miami Monday. Comments are appreciated and I hope to check in with you again on Wednesday. Until then, be good and be informed.
