This is guy is (unfortunately) absolutely correct. I have not not done this enough either locally or at the national level.
I need to start stepping up here. Anybody care to join me and give it a whirl? I know for those of us watching even out of the corner of our eyes it might seem [...]
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that my family of origin is very focused on the gift giving aspect of the Christmas celebration. In that post I mentioned that if I even thought about giving Heifer Project gifts to my mom it would be a scandal of epic proportions.
Turns out, not everyone knows what [...]
Last week I discovered freerice.com. A web site where you can play a word game and for every correct answer, the advertisers kick in money for 10 grains of rice. The guy who runs the site contributes the money to the United Nations World Food Program and they use the money to buy locally grown [...]
I suppose I’m probably really late to the party, but I heard about this site on NPR tonight on my way home from the theater. (actually it was on the Canadian Show “Future Tense” which is in the middle of “As it Happens” which has possibly the coolest theme song in the history of radio.)

Please. Go here and read this.
I haven’t posted about this issue because as soon as I sit to write something my blood pressure just goes through the roof. And since I don’t have insurance currently in effect, it is incumbent on me (according to my fascist dictator supreme leader the president) to make “wise choices” [...]

For me, I give thanks to God that Michael Bussee, Darlene Bogle and Jeremy [...]
One from a blog I read regularly:
Sugared Harpy a soon to be divorced art professor discovers some interesting pricing options for private insurance.
(I’d like to include more here. Leave your link in the comments and I’ll move it here.)
And some I searched out:
R-Squared Energy tells the story of his first experience with Universal Health [...]
This is in part a response to yet another comment to the effect that some people just aren’t good enough to get health care. I want to be very clear about my self-interest in this story.
I am a white, divorced (after a 22 year marriage) mother of 2 children
I have a masters degree
I have 2 [...]
edit 6/30/07: This post and comment discussion is continued here and here. Thanks for stopping by.
