This is what the Democrats need to do!! If you haven't seen it, freshman Republican Rep. Rob Woodall (GA)was asked many factual questions from Chris Matthews and Rep. Robert Andrews (D-NJ). What followed is what the democrats should have done during the last 2 years when it comes to health care reform.

Disclaimer: The word "destroyed" in the title is by no way a threat or a wish to be harmed in any way.

"Unfortunately, it is not." These words were spoken by Scott Kelly, Space station commander, and brother-in-law of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Just in case any of you were wondering, this is NOT snark. This really happened this morning.

Recently, Indiana State Representative Bruce Borders stated he intends to introduce a bill to the State Legislature which prevents the recognition of Sharia Law in Indiana Courts.

According to Rep. Borders, the bill would state, "that Indiana does not recognize Sharia law, or Muslim law. What that boils down to is there is a push in some states to recognize Sharia law with its own court system, as opposed to a state constitution or the U.S. Constitution."

I usually write letters to the editor in the Indianapolis Star (5 published in 2010). On this, I decided to call :)

Below is a pretty accurate transcript of my call. Quite humorous and sad in my opinion.

First, I'll start with my favorite quote from Robert F Kennedy:

We must recognize the full human equality of all our people - before God, before the law, and in the councils of government. We must do this not because it is economically advantageous - although it is; not because the laws of God and man command it - although they do command it; not because people in other lands wish it so. We must do it for the single and fundamental reason that it is the right thing to do.

That question is the only one to ask when the GOP is threatening to cut funding from NPR. As most of us know, as I believe we tend to not be ignorant like some others, parts of NPR is not funded directly by the federal government. It is partly funded by the Corporation For Public Broadcasting, which also funds PBS. In order to cut "federal funding" for NPR, Republicans will cut their funding for CPB, and a direct result will cut funding for PBS.

Got into a wonderful discussion with a Conservative co-worker just now, and by "wonderful" I mean providing him basic, factual information that extinguished his little talking points about Obama and the economy. As a Republican, he began by using the talking points that Obama has done much harm to the economy and unemployment has risen under him, thus far. However, he continued to go after Obama with the economy argument and he gave me an opening when he said that his stocks have been decreasing. This is when I provided him with some historical statistics.

I just wanted to write a quick diary about what the day after would look like if gays and lebians are given the right to get married. I know some of the things may seem a bit extreme to some, but hopefully you all will be understanding and not pass judgment.

Just got done watchin a segment on MSNBC Hardball and Chris Matthews just put a smackdown on Republican Representative Phil Gingrey from Georgia. Call it a smackdown, stump, or whatever you want, but he has Rep. Gingrey almost speechless at the end. Here's a video and the best part is the last few minutes.

I woke up today with news that Israel will be expelling the Flotilla activists to their countries of origin. Not to use logic or rational thinking, but doesn't that appear odd.

Here's something you won't see on Fox News I'm sure. The CBO reported today that the stimulus package has put up to 2.8 million people to work in the first quarter of the 2010 calender year.

I currently live in the Indianapolis area and there was an editorial in the Indianapolis Star entitled "Coming To Your Curb Soon?".

The article discussed how Indianapolis consistently ranks as one of the least green cities in the nation and discussed some of the proposals regarding recycling.
