Wow Like A Fox: How The Media Can Influence

Posted by Vinicent Holland on Thursday, April 15, 2010, In : social commentary & humor 

"David Frum, a prominent conservative pundit and former speechwriter for George W. Bush, led the charge last month when he lambasted Republicans’ handling of health-care reform. In a piece about the health-care vote titled “Waterloo,”Frum wrote, "We followed the most radical voices in the party and the movement, and they led us to abject and irreversible defeat. There were leaders who knew better, who would have liked to deal. But they were trapped. Conservative talkers on Fox and talk ...

On A Healthcare discussion

Posted by Vinicent Holland on Friday, April 2, 2010, In : social commentary & humor 
How insurance plans are offered will be affected. Quality of insurance plans will be affected. Costs will continue to be affected although it's not like insurance costs are all that great today. Insurance companies are already raising rates and talking about more rates and how drastic it's going to be. That's just fodder to prepare people to accept getting gouged when in many cases it's not warranted.

Tea Party, Beer Party, Pizza Party; A Party For Everybody

Posted by VHolland on Tuesday, March 23, 2010, In : social commentary & humor 

    The majority of the time I hear the word party I associate it with something pleasant.  I try to forget about the political assignments, instead looking forward to hearing about people getting together for fun and enjoyment.  Not to be naive about it all, I fully understand that most words in the English language have multiple meanings and uses.  It's easier to just make the same word mean different things rather than think of a new word.  That's the beauty of this language that we speak ...
