Yanase Takashi, the artist of Anpanman just passed away!!!!!!
At age of 94, he was one of the oldest, if not the oldest, manga artist who was still active. A GREAT man. Rest in piece, master Yanase...

Senators hopeful fiscal deal could pass on Wednesday House Republicans to pass own debt limit plan on Tuesday So will the bill pass or not?

As long as Obamacare is still the Republicans' main issue in these negotiations, I doubt we'll see anything constructive happen anytime soon.

Why are they so hellbent on putting a stop to Obamacare? I seriously don't know the main reasons why they are fighting it tooth and nail. They hate healthcare reform that much? All I know is they say it'll be expensive, but will it really be as expensive as they make it sound? Really, I don't know how viable that is coming from them, as they'll oppose anything Obama and his administration do regardless of the matter.

But yet these same people want to have all the say on gay marriage and abortion. Gotta love these twerps. Outright banning both everywhere because "lol our personal beliefs should dictate these things k?" just doesn't cut it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the republicans fight to make that a part of Obamacare to make it less appealing, in the hopes that it would never get the votes to pass (and then it passed anyway)?

What's currently happening has got nothing to do with healthcare really. In a nutshell, it is about whether the US congress approves paying the bills for money that they has already been spent. Does the US honor their obligations to pay back what was borrowed or not? Politically, the question of healthcare has been decided. There were elections over the issue, the law has been challeged in Supreme court and prevailed. It's law of the land. These are also no budget negotiations (there, discussions about funding would have a place). This is a simple matter of political extremists hijacking a political party, who are about to fail an extortion attempt, and who are dead set to rather shoot the hostage than giving in. Bizarre. |
