SHHHH!!! Don't tell the GOP representatives this: Even Republican Voters Favor The Public Option The poll asked this question: "Would you favor or oppose the government offering everyone a government administered health insurance plan -- something like the Medicare coverage that people 65 and older get -- that would compete with private health insurance plans?" The top-line result is 65% in favor, 26% opposed. Among Democrats only, it's 81%-12%, and independents are at 61%-30%. And among Republican respondents, 47% are in favor, to 42% opposed.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 25, 2009 -> 10:28 AM) Prices always fall with technology, unless that is already factored in. That is an awesome idea. But I am thinking about all the other factors that a roadway has to have. Safety, wet weather traction, snow removal, etc etc etc. Just amazing if it would work. Home models would seem like the first application. Some sort of solar roofing shingle material is the first logical step to me.

http://www.americainfra.com/news/solar-roadways/ I thought this was, while most completely impossible (price tag not withstanding), a really neat idea.

Here's a shock, Chicago 2016 committee lies/over exaggerates the projected tax income.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 03:15 PM) The Mass Legislature basically did it one way for a Republican a few years ago, and then another way for a Democrat now. They should really put on a Constitutional amendment for their state that requires a big majority, pick a way to do it, and stick with that. Agreed

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 08:48 PM) He just says s*** to get attention. To back that up: Glenn Beck Was For TARP Before He Was Against It Its amazing what going from CNN to Fox News will do to a guy...

:o Glenn Beck: Obama Better For Country Than McCain Would Have Been So, the guy ripping Obama for turning America into an Oligarhy says Obama was better for America than McCain? My head hurts!!!

No No No No No Not in a million years. not that wackjob.

Not sure if you all caught this or not, but during last night's Emmy's, Jimmy Fallon was doing a bit and slipped and fell on stage. Everyone laughed because they thought it was part of the act, until you see the video again. It wasnt an act. look at his head... he hit the stage hard....

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 20, 2009 -> 11:39 AM) it's a sloth. this one wasn't even hard. wait till the end of the video and check out the feet. ohhh good call. I was racking my brain to figure out what kind of animal it could be... obviously it wasnt an alien. Never thought of a sloth. That's spot on.

That will have me laughing for a week.

Ok, so we are talking about how these are going to be a "privately financed" Olympics. So, tell a naive person like myself... how have the games been financed int he past? Is ti mostly governmental? Part national government, part private? All private? My impress is that almost all the Olympic games are financed by the government... be it city/state or national.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 18, 2009 -> 04:26 PM) I think the actual buildout and renovations proposed now and what actually takes place before 2016 will be vastly different. After there are guarantees on the table I think other private money will become available. Oh probably so. but I dont see how they can use Wrigley or the Cell for anything. I SUPPOSE they could use it for things like archery, but facilities like those are overkill for smaller events.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 18, 2009 -> 04:11 PM) "We did cover the event, what we didn't do is promote the event. That's not what real news organizations are supposed to do." There are more than a few conservative who i work with that I KNOW are very intelligent people whom i respect and trust who continue to tell me they watch Fox News because it is the most balanced of all the news networks. It still astonishes me that these people, who poses a great deal of knowledge, would continue to think that. I like MSNBC, but I know full well that they are becoming the counter network to Fox (they are running to the far left). Heck, they've gone so far left I really dont watch them much any more. So, at least I am aware enough to know that the stuff they are feeding me is tainted.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 18, 2009 -> 09:23 AM) More FUD from the far right: Ironically, the video labeled "honestly" continues to spread lies: Honestly (via Fox News): "Baucus' plan says that federal funds will continue to be prohibited to pay for abortions unless the pregnancy is due to to rape, incest, or if the life of the mother is in danger." Obama was specifically addressing fears that the new health care system will give free abortions to anyone who wants them for any reason. Honestly: The guy on the video softly defended ("God bless his heart") Wilson who called Obama a liar, however the part Wilson called Obama a liar about very strongly says this plan will NOT give funding to illegal immigrants... which makes Wilson the liar . Posted the above rebuttal on the person's Facebook comment who posted the video, got this nice little reply back:
