At least they wished him well.....

Fox news has dropped the LL Cool J portion of an interview set to air on a Sarah Palin special. Evidently Mr. Cool did not want to be associated with the show. Here is how Fox responded, "As it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career." Wow, passive-aggressive much?

OK, so I guess we can.

Historic House Vote

Just a quick blog, then I am off to church with my sister. Today is the day that our elected officials will decide on health care reform. It has been a long road, a contentious one, one filled with scare tactics, hateful rhetoric, and downright lies. Death panels, total government takeover, and oh, socialism, yeah, we are on the road to socialism (this is the sound of my eyes rolling).

If I hear one more Republican congressman (you know who you are John Boehner) say we have the "best health care system in the world" I am going to go to DC and shove the World Health Organization's report on where we really rank down that spray tanned face of his. Take a look at our infant mortality and maternal mortality rates. I wish politicians would just be honest and say "I" am happy with MY health care, because "I" have health care. Hey fellas, we are talking about the people who don't.

The bill is flawed, sure. No public option? I think that is a bad thing. I am certainly not worried about insurance CEOs not receiving their 110 million dollar bonuses next year.
So it will be an interesting day. Hopefully when health reform passes and people realize that Hitler mustaches aren't sprouting out all over and granny, in fact, will live to face another day, some of the rhetoric will cease...then we can move on to immigration reform and play nicely, yeah right!
