I need to fill some space for an intro, so I'm just going to write this and one more sentence. Just go to the body to find the goods.

What do you know? A week after Arizona passed it's constitutionally questionably immigration law, Texas republicans think it would be a great idea if Texas had a similar measure. Because, you know, the best way to win over the latino vote is to openly discriminate against them all.

While this entire healthcare debacle continues on, there is one thing Alan Grayson said that struck me, and it is something that I think we all should do. And it's this: start showing the faces and share the stories of the people who die in this country because of a lack of insurance.

At 12:01 a.m. American Eastern Time, we officially were in the 101st day with Barack Obama as our president. So, in the spirit of taking arbitrary dates and using them as a way to grade people, I'll do that.

One of the biggest problems for the GOP/Conservatives is how to appeal to the younger generation, specifically the minorities (with current rates of 90% black identifying themselves as democrats.) Just what can they do to make those numbers not so democratic friendly? One area that is a definite contrast would be music tastes. With Country traditionally being associated with the right, and rap and hip-hop being associated with the inner-city. What can be done to help bridge this gap?

Well, it appears they have an answer.

Most people wouldn't think of America as dangerous of place as Iraq, and why not? There aren't suicide bombers blowing themselves up on a daily basis. There aren't soldiers patrolling the streets in armored humvees. Police officers aren't going around in body armor when they patrol. But if one were to look at the number of deaths that Americans cause to themselves, then maybe, just maybe, there would be a realization that the USA isn't as peaceful as it seems.

Really Rick? You "never once even gave an endorsement" for proposition 8 in California? You never once came out in favor of it? You never made any statement about it?

Recently, since the passing of prop 8 in California, and prop 2 in Florida, it would seem that the GLBT community still has a ways to go before truly finding equality. I know that with continued effort and enduring the discrimination, eventually the GLBT community will. Suze Orman commented on this briefly, and had a message that is quite powerful.

Ever since 9/11/2001, it seems to me that nearly every action involving our foreign relations comes down to something regarding that tragic day. No action done in the middle east is about terrorism, and is country x in some way aiding it, or harboring terrorists? Every press release from the Bush presidency seemed to come with a reference to that date. The rallying cry of patriotism was "never forget" and anyone who didn't want the government to do anything in its power to bring those responsible to justice was unpatriotic. This was the mindset for such a long time, and still is for quite a few Americans today.

As a country, I know that no one will ever forget that day. It's a tragic one that is forever tied with America. But I wish that we could accept it as something that has happened to us in our past, and we need to stop letting it drive our decisions.
