Politics

I saw two articles tonite. One was Lea Michele's tweet about her extremely skimpy bikini.  The other was some information about our New York Governor's upcoming State of the State message.  I was wondering which one you would want to read about more?

Marijuana became legal for recreational purposes on January 1, 2014 in Colorado, making it the second state, behind Washington, in the nation.  Ben & Jerry's responded with a witty tweet - The Daily Current, a satire website like theonion.com...

It's been ten years since Natalie Maines, the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks famously stood in front of a packed house in London and said: "Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence. And we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas...

Just South of Washington D.C., in the town of Woodbridge, VA, Toby Keith opened another in his chain of restaurants, I Love This Bar and Grill, on Dec. 15. On the door of the new establishment was a sign that asked patrons not to bring weapons inside the restaurant...

Yesterday President Obama tried to remind Americans why they wanted health care to begin with.  It seems like ever since the disgraceful launch of the Affordable Care Act's website, Americans, led by social media and traditional forms of media, have forgotten why we ever thought we needed it...

It's what the internet was built for.  The two most viral videos of the week, mashed into one.  Volvo's Van Damme commercial with Ex-Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's face plastered on it.  So, it looks like Ford's doing a split - really not that much of a stretch, I mean, what's more flexible than Rob Ford's morals...

I love my husband dearly, and while we agree on a lot of things, thankfully politics is one of them, we also disagree on a lot of things.  I'm not sure, though, that our marriage could withstand this! A husband and wife in Maine ran against each other for an election warden position...

Public School 244 in Flushing, Queens became the first elementary school in the U.S. to offer students a completely vegetarian menu!  Pretty crazy, right? But, it's been about six months, and the results are remarkable! Some of the meals offered were black bean and cheddar quesadillas, veggie wraps, and organic roasted tofu...

Ok, I think it's time to get to the bottom of this debate... if that's even possible. It seems like all I ever hear about on the news or on the street or on the air, is "Common Core this and Common Core that"!  Students seem to be struggling, parents are mad, and teachers are divided...

I'm a huge fan of impressionists.  The old ones were great like Rich Little and David Frye.  But there are some awesome new ones out there too, including Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, and this guy, Jay Pharoah.  Watch as she does a dead-on impression of POTUS

I wanted to know what you thought of this, because they are making such a big deal out of it.   A New Jersey Senator gives a concession speech. His wife massages his back to console him and watch what happens:

So, if you're like me, you have no idea about this Affordable Care Act. Honestly, I'm not sure that our actual governing body has any idea about it! But, I do know that... There are somewhere around 50 million Americans - men, women and children, without health insurance right now...
