Rick Scott Pays Just $360 A Year For State Health Insurance
The governor, a proud bearer of the Republican Party’s deregulation standard,
has spent his first half-year in office decrying government waste:
He’s laid off thousands of Sunshine State employees, slashed their benefits, turned down (most of) the federal government’s health care dollars, and put extra financial pressure on Florida retirees and Medicaid recipients.
But Scott and his dependents pay one-fifth what a janitor in the state Capitol pays for health insurance… and less than 3 percent of what a retired state trooper pays for life-saving coverage.

SOG's 401-Keg Plan
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG, you would have $33.00. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers, you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer, drank all the beer, turned in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have $214.00. Therefore the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
It is called the 401-Keg Plan.

Civilian Conservation Corps
I wonder when we'll get to a place where someone can say "hey, we need mandatory public service by all young people in America." Doesn't have to be the Armed Forces.
How about teaching? How about the Peace Corps?
How about rebuilding our country?

Throwing Hillsborough Transit Into Reverse
These are major, systemic problems. County Commissioner Mark Sharpe, who serves on the board, gets it; he changed his mind and supported a tax increase for HART, which would cost the average homeowner about 41 cents a year. But his colleague, Commissioner Sandy Murman, a fellow Republican, is still playing politics. Murman said she won't support an increase "even if it's a penny."Even if it's a penny? This is the mind-set Hillsborough needs to change if it hopes to address transportation and job development in a meaningful way.
From a letter to the St. Pete Times, more.
Smoking Some Of That Tea
After the bruising debate over raising the debt ceiling, Howard Dean had harsh words for the tea party.
"I think they've been smoking some of that tea, not just drinking it."....Howard Dean

What Happened to Obama?
The arc of history does not bend toward justice through capitulation cast as compromise. It does not bend when 400 people control more of the wealth than 150 million of their fellow Americans.
It does not bend when
the average middle-class family has seen its income stagnate over the last 30 years while the richest 1 percent has seen its income rise astronomically.
It does not bend when
we cut the fixed incomes of our parents and grandparents so hedge fund managers can keep their 15 percent tax rates.
It does not bend when only one side in negotiations between workers and their bosses is allowed representation. And it does not bend when, as political scientists have shown,
it is not public opinion but the opinions of the wealthy that predict the votes of the Senate.
The arc of history can bend only so far before it breaks.
