Path to Prosperity: Land Of The Dead

GOP Budget Plan
The plan would slash federal spending by $5 trillion or more over the coming decade. It would leave Social Security untouched but shift more of the risk from rising medical costs from the government to Medicare beneficiaries. It also calls for sharp cuts to

Medicaid health care for the poor and disabled and to food aid for the poor.

House Budget Committee Chairman Republican Paul Ryan,
of Wisconsin.

Food to the poor? How Ruthless!
R/CT Recommendation: Deer Hunting with Jesus. Which might explain why so many people vote to diminish their own life while working to prop up the wealthy.

We Are Screwed!

With a veto-proof majority, a hard-right conservative governor, and a determination to seize the moment in a non­election year, legislative leaders have packed the agenda — and Democrats are powerless to stop them.

Iman al-Obeidi

Last Saturday, a young woman lawyer named Iman al-Obeidi burst into a Tripoli hotel and pleaded with foreign journalists for help, showing bruises and crying that she had just been gang-raped by 15 of Qaddafi's men. She screamed as she was dragged away by Libyan agents and has not been seen since. Let’s raise a massive outcry for Turkey, which has helped free other Libyan hostages, to help save Iman.

Finding Tampa

A Little Nostalgia


Maas Brothers
Was a leading Tampa, Florida, department store founded by Abe and Isaac Maas in 1886. It grew from a small 23' by 90' store to a chain of 39 stores across the state of Florida. The Maas Brothers brand went defunct in 1991 when it was consolidated into the Burdines department store chain.

"Florida's Republican House leadership has banned the word "uterus" from the house floor. So Uterus has joined Facebook, hoping to find some friends to say there's nothing nasty or 'inappropriate' with "uterus."

Mani: Cuba's Criminal Food

Mr. Jimmy Carter:

On behalf of several alternative bloggers and other members of Cuban civil society, we would like to give you this present. This is a small sample of the food that the self-employed are able to make from maní, the word Cubans use for peanuts, that dried fruit that you know so well.

One Of America's Worst Governor?

There are a lot of shitty governors in America right now!
And to nobody's surprise, they're all Republicans.
Rick Scott was once the CEO of Columbia/HCA, a massive hospital chain. The federal government fined Columbia/HCA for Medicaid and Medicare fraud. That fine, a jaw-dropping 1.7 billion dollars, is the largest in American history.

But instead of going to jail, Rick Scott became the governor of Florida.
