Government Intrusion: Its Necessary Dichotomy

I was watching the local news on television the other night, and heard two consecutive news stories that had me taking a deeper look into personal politics.

The first news story was about the Republicans and their most recent attempt at overturning the Health Care Reform legislation (Please, for the love of God, don't refer to it as ObamaCare because the only thing that means is that you're either a buzzword-spouting sycophant or an intentionally misleading malcontent). It noted how the most common objection by politicians regarding the health care bill is that, by allowing the government to take a greater stake in how health care is paid for, our level of quality health care will decrease and, ultimately, the cost of our health care will rise.

Hit the break for more.

Taking Blame For a Shitty World

Courtesy a tweet from Patton Oswalt, I came across Buffalo Beast's Top 50 Most Loathsome People of 2010. You can check it out at the following link. It is one of the most scathing societal indictments I've encountered in a long time. It's unashamed and completely full-speed-ahead in its relentless fervor. It shred the likes of Glenn Beck, Jenny McCarthy, Barack Obama, and Kim Kardashian, rightfully placing them together in a world that too often disassociates the different aspects of their world.

The number one most loathsome person of 2010, according to the Buffalo Beast?

You.
