Good Morning and break out those winter coats once again!

Now that we have some form of health care reform (those who like to yell, well, just deal with it), now's the time to move on to other things.
While jobs and the economy will recover over time (they always do), a more pressing issue is it's time to get rid of the ridiculous 'No Child Left Behind' mandate.
Sure, we want all children to learn, but when it's forced learning it's more like memorizing.
We are quickly coming up on another round of PSSA testing.
The school administrators will hold rallies. They will first talk to the students about relaxing while taking the test, then they will quickly say they all have to ace it.
After all, school funding is based on a general test scored by a computer. The computer doesn't know if the student broke his/her pencil during the question and was too scared to ask if it could be sharpened. It also doesn't know if the child had a headache or couldn't sleep the night before because they were inundated with mixed messages.
OK, we are on the road to fixing the health care mess (although the battle isn't over because those health care companies have deep pockets and hire loudmouths). Now, let's fix the school mess.
We'll finally be on the way to knocking that last president off the books (unless it's comic books).

Good Morning and welcome to crazy town!

That's right, we've finally gone over the edge. We've finally taken things to a ridiculous level (a level fueled by those who are in search of ratings).
Just yesterday a man showed up with a gun at a healthcare town meeting being held by the President. Another man stood up to shout down Sen. Arlen Specter before even hearing any information.
There are people out there who listen (or read) uninformed opinions and take them as fact. They listen to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin then believe every word that comes out of their mouths.
Tonight at 6:30 p.m., U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak is holding a healthcare town meeting in Philadelphia. I hope there is enough security to keep him safe.
Listen people, this country needs healthcare reform. We are being held hostage by insurance companies. They keep raising rates. They keep shutting out the doctors. Unless something is done, none of us will be able to afford care.
The bottom line is there is no government plan as yet. There are only ideas. That's the point of discussion. Hash out the ideas, see what works for the most people.
Unfortunately, small-minded people are disrupting that conversation for no reason.
Do your own research, you might learn something. Or, just believe the talking heads:

Good Morning, welcome to the weekend and stay away from AT&T!

Now, it's finally getting out of hand.
Last night in Tampa, Fla., there was an actual fight outside a 'Town Meeting' to talk about healthcare reform.
This conservative-radio fueled nonsense has finally reached a pinacle. We are about to go over the edge and, maybe, there finally may be no coming back.
Apparently, there are plenty of people out there who just focus on one thing and can't open their brains to the whole picture.
Want some proof? Check out this well-written story and the 104 comments that follow.
Look, I'm sorry if Rush Limbaugh and his ilk don't need better healthcare, but the rest of us do. There are too many people out there who can't get the care they need. There are too many people out there who can't afford the care they need. There are too many people out there who let those with loud mouths dictate their actions.
Here are the facts.
Yelling, screaming and, unbelievably, fighting won't change that.
