Gothamist Article

Quoted from the official Whitehouse.gov website: “There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.”

Oh wow!

Official Blog post from Whitehouse.gov

So this video is the ad that CNN refused to air. Their reason is that it singles out Cigna’s top executive for the lavish golden parachute and compensation that he has received. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s wrong for a privately held company to pay someone a lot of money. Hell if the company think he’s worth that much money fine not my business neither is it anyone else’s business, maybe he deserves it maybe he doesn’t. Don’t use this ad to say that this goes against Obama’s Plan for health care, don’t use this ad to say that the executive is bad because he gets paid all that money,  there’s many reasons why people hate the plan Democrats and Republicans alike. It’s flawed open your eyes people there are two sides two everything don’t look at only the good part of it look at both then make your decision.

They were freed and have arrived in the US today. Basically they were captured by North Korea because they were trying to report on human trafficking from China to North Korea and vice versa. They ventured into North Korea territory and were caught. North Korea let them go because President Bill Clinton visited based on Kim Jung-il’s request. Now they can write a book and make mad money. God forbid if this was me or you you think President Clinton would come and save our asses hell fucking NO he wouldn’t.

So the White house approved limits on executive pay. I don’t know if this is a good thing or not. I mean I would not want the government getting involved in my company if I decide to pay whoever I want what I want to pay him or her. Then again on the other side they did cause the economic meltdown so you have to look at both sides to the story. In my opinion the pays should be limited until they bay back the money that we gave them, then the limits can be removed.

New York Times Article

You may have noticed that there has been less funny content on the site. I have chosen to post funny content onto my less serious site www.betterthannothingblog.blogspot.com. This site was intended for articles regarding freedoms that we have in America and how they are constantly being stripped away by the powers to be and the powers that are, as well as censorship, politics, etc. I intend to try my best to keep it that way and hope that if you are looking for a good laugh to hit my sister site over at blog spot. Also I have added a new Page called Website links as seen on the picture, I have added a friend’s website there as well as my sister site.

Update: Google Voice Apple app blocked by Apple
I am very happy to hear that the FCC is looking deeper into this. Apple and AT&T in my opinion are telling you how to use the services they provide. This is wrong and stifles innovation from the user that user their network. I hope the FCC tears Apple and AT&T a new one. Fuck Apple and AT&T.

Engadget wrote a good article regarding how the smart phone market has six major software/OS giants competing to be number one. In my opinion competition is good but six is way too many I think we need to see three major smartphone OS to emerge from the “war”. Thoughts concerns people? Lemme hear it in the comments.
