Health Care Law Repeal

With freedom comes responsibility.  How do you get rid of the responsibility?  By giving up some of your freedoms.  That's exactly what Obamacare does.

Support for repeal of the new national health care plan has jumped to its highest level ever. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 63% of U.S. voters now favor repeal of the plan passed by congressional Democrats and signed into law by President Obama in March.

Religious Americans are the ‘Most Tolerant People Worldwide’

Of course, we already knew that. {Lori}

On Tuesday's Lopez Tonight on TBS, magicians Penn and Teller appeared as guests, and, while discussing their controversial program on Showtime, and the show's history of criticizing religion, Penn Jillette conceded a compliment to American Christians that they are "the most tolerant people worldwide."

EWG's 2010 Sunscreen Guide

Get the lowdown on sunscreen here--the good, the bad, and some sun safety tips.  Don't think that just because your sunscreen has a high SPF rating that it's going to prevent skin cancer.

EWG's fourth annual Sunscreen Guide gives low marks to the current crop of sunscreen products, with a few notable exceptions. EWG researchers recommend only 39 – 8 percent – of 500 beach and sport sunscreens for this season. The reason? A surge in exaggerated SPF claims above 50 and new disclosures about potentially hazardous ingredients, in particular recently developed government data linking vitamin A to accelerated growth of skin tumors and lesions. Learn more.

Congress to Reclassify Internet Service

The FCC would like to reclassify broadband internet service as a telecommunications service.  What does this mean for you?  More taxes, more regulation (filtering/banning), higher rates, and eventually less competition.  What does this mean for our government?  More control over your life.  That's what it's all about.

the F.C.C. announced a plan this month to reclassify broadband Internet service, which is now lightly regulated as an information service. Under the change, it would be classified as a telecommunications service, similar to basic telephone service, and would therefore come under more scrutiny by the agency. The reclassification would give the commission the authority to implement portions of its recently released National Broadband Plan, as well as to enforce net neutrality, the concept that Internet service providers must provide consumers with equal access to all types of content and applications.

Man Marries Dying Cat

I'm sure Cecilia is resting so much better now--NOT!

{Lori}

Most spouses consider their pets better listeners than their partners, but a German man is taking animal companionship to a whole new level: Uwe Mitzscherlich, 39, has unofficially married his dying cat, Cecilia, reports the BBC. Animal marriage is illegal in Germany, so Mitzscherlich paid an actress $395 to perform the ceremony. Cecilia is asthmatic and over 10 years old. Mitzscherlich said he just wanted to show her how he feels before she dies.

"Cecilia is such a trusting creature," he says. "We cuddle all the time and she has always slept in my bed."

Michael Medved : Obamacare Officially Exposed as Fraudulent

When signing his health reform bill in March, President Obama promised it would "bring down health care costs for families and businesses and governments". Now, rigorous analysis by top officials in his own administration exposes the president's promise as a fraud.

The chief Medicare actuary declares that "overall national health expenditures under the health reform act would increase by a total of $311 billion". Moreover, within five years of implementation, the plan will cost employers $87 billion in penalties for failing to provide government-approved insurance. Despite crushing costs, and the likelihood of Medicare cuts "jeopardizing access to care," 23 million Americans will still be uninsured nine years from now. If these numbers from the Department of Health and Human Services had been available before final House votes, it's doubtful Congress would have approved this ill-conceived initiative.

via Townhall.com Blog : Michael Medved : Obamacare Officially Exposed as Fraudulent.

I disagree with Medved.  I think Obama, Pelosi, and Reid would've rammed this down our throats any way they could regardless of what anyone else had to say about it.

NCAA Bans Messages on Eye Black

An attack on freedom of speech or another attack on Christianity?  You decide.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association is banning personal messages on eye-black patches.

Last year, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow made news by writing a different Scripture verse on his eye black for each game.

Known now as the "Tebow Rule," the regulations ban all "words, logos, numbers or other symbols," beginning with the 2010 season.

Tebow told News-Press.com he thought the ban would take away from freedom of speech.

"It's unfortunate," he said, "that it got to the point where they had to say you can't wear anything under your eyes."

Tebow said he just wanted to share an important part of his life.

"That's just me," he said.  "I hope that people can see it affects my life and how I am so passionate about it."

Economic Woes

Americans are united in the belief that the economy is in bad shape (92% give it a negative rating), and for many the repercussions are hitting close to home. Fully 70% of Americans say they have faced one or more job or financial-related problems in the past year, up from 59% in February 2009. Jobs have become difficult to find in local communities for 85% of Americans. A majority now says that someone in their household has been without a job or looking for work (54%); just 39% said this in February 2009. Only a quarter reports receiving a pay raise or a better job in the past year (24%), while almost an equal number say they have been laid off or lost a job (21%).

Can You Smell That Smell?

I remember a while back someone commenting about a room in their house stinking.  I remember thinking: 

I have two teenagers and a two year old.  There's always a stench in my house.  There's nothing like the smell of b.o. and dirty diapers.

Having said that, you never know what you're going to find around here.  Little Bit has decided to start potty training from time to time.  She's not had her second birthday yet, so I'm not ready to push the potty training.  However, she has shown some interest; so I did get her a potty chair at the last sale I went to.

One day I heard Little Bit exclaim, "Baby poo poo, baby poo poo," and walked into the room to find this:
