Dr.On the Anniversary of Kennedy's Death, Extremism Lives On
What I find interesting about this is both how much has changed AND how much hasn't. The Letter: Tyler, Texas November 24, 1963 President Lyndon B Johnson The White House Washington D.C. Dear Mr. President: In this time of mourning and appreciating how very busy you are, I still must write about existing conditions here in East Texas, even if you are too busy to read this, because I feel it is my duty to do so.Mary Landrieu sold her vote on health care for $100 million it appears.
ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports: What does it take to get a wavering senator to vote for health care reform? Here’s a case study. On page 432 of the Reid bill, there is a section increasing federal Medicaid subsidies for “certain states recovering from a major disaster.” The section spends two pages defining which “states” would qualify, saying, among other things, that it would be states that “during the preceding 7 fiscal years” have been declared a “major disaster area.” I am told the section applies to exactly one state: Louisiana, the home of moderate Democrat Mary Landrieu, who has been playing hard to get on the health care bill.Dumbo University

Although she made her name as Posh Spice in the Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham was in anything but posh surroundings earlier this month during a two-day trip to Clay County, Kentucky. Visiting on behalf of Save the Children USA and accompanied by her 10 ½-year-old son Brooklyn Joseph, Victoria was on hand to gain a better understanding of childhood poverty in the United States.
By her own account, the trip was both eye-opening and inspirational.

Brazil Future Economic Super Power?
After decades of political instability, poverty and uncertanty has Brazil finally hit her stride? We all know that Brazilians know how to party and play (football) but can they roll with the G8 and give them a run for their money? In 2001 Goldmen Sachs placed Brazil with Russia, India and China as the economies that would come to dominate the world.
Some may find it queer to place a country with a growth rate as skimpy as its swim suits, an economic fragility that consistantly suffered with any financial crisis, chronic political instability and a history of squandering economic potential could have so effectively put those wose behind them to pave the way for such a prosperous future. China is said to lead the world out of our currant economic down turn with Brazil hot on their heals. Brazil did not avoid the down turn but was among the last in and the first out. Their economy is growing at a rate of 5% annualy and will pick up in the short term as new deep sea oil fields come online. Brazil also enjoys a food and mineral trade with many Asian countries.
Sometime after 2014 Brazil is scheduled to become the worlds 5th largest economy saying to Great Britan and France uhm excuse me I beleive that's my seat. In many ways Brazil is said to outclass the other up and comers (Chine, India and Russia). Unlike China and Russia it is a democracy. Unlike India it has no insurgent, ethnic, religious hostility or unfriendly neighbors. Unlike Russia it exports more than oil and arms and treats it's investors with respect. Is that code for arss kissing?
