Congrats, sort of

Well, Barack Obama did it, he passed healthcare, sort of. The bill that the US Congress passed on Sunday is far from Universal Healthcare, in fact it’s far from something that will eliminate the for-profit motive in a system that should in no way be profit-driven.

A prize for talking

Now this may be a dumb question, but how can someone who is currently running two wars win a prize for peace? It seems to me that not being actively involved in the administration of warfare and ultimately responsible for a conflict continuing should be one of the requirements for being recognized as a person of peace. Call me a purist, but that’s just how I see it.

Buddy can you spare some change?

After listening to Barack Obama give his presidential acceptance speech last night, I can’t help but feel happy for the states and at the same time confused as to how they got things right, or at least better, while Canada seems to be stuck in a right-wing rut.
