Creature called Healthcare reform

It has been about a week since my last posting, thank you all for you patience. There has been quite a lot going on in the world and in politics. Of course there is the earthquake in Chile that we are all paying close attention too. We also have the Health care bill resurgence that has taken place over the past couple of weeks.

Ron Paul Wins!

Ron Paul Wins!

Franken becoming Dems Future Leader?

Franken becoming Dems Future Leader?

Sen. Franken has faced a daunting challenge in his first year as a US Senator.
