Armen Boghos's Thoughts

My insights on the world and what we can do to make it just one small bit better. Don't try and change everything, just change one thing.
According to CNN and Yahoo news, Health care is on the ropes and could lose enough steam with this Scott Brown character that we don't even get it passed this year. That is a scary proposition that is going to leave millions of Americans uninsured and a further strain on our healthcare industry. What we need to do is organize and support our Democratic leaders to push this legislation through Congress to ensure that the bill is passed and more people are covered. I think showing support is the first step. Here's the mug I plan to sport so that people know where I stand on this crucial issue.

It wasn't that Mr. Brown, the new Jr. Senator from the great state of Massachusetts, was anything worth writing home about, instead it was that his opponent was terrible. It was her election to lose and lose it she did. Her campaign sucked and now we really have to worry about getting great legislation like healthcare reform pushed through the senate because the Republicans are just hell bent on making sure nothing happens for the next three years of government. Well I am tired of politics, I just want answers and I don't see many these days. It's time to focus on something more sustainable that I can have an impact in. What are people out here focusing on instead of the quagmire of politics?
Helping Haiti right now is a good and decent thing to do. Like those injured in Katrina, we have a responsibility to help those in need. I've already donated my time and efforts to this campaign to help those in need. I suggest you do the same. It doesn't always have to be money, if you can help in some other way please do because those suffering in Haiti truly need it.
Want to be scared out of your pants? You should take a read of this article on Wired.com. Basically it lays out how companies like Yahoo, Comcast, Verizon, and others have access to so much of your information that they can track to a T exactly what you do and how you do it on the internet. Not only that but they charge the tax payers for that information. Seems like there is something very broken about this system. I hate it.

I was reading this absolutely funny article on Newsweek about Gore and if he had won the election so many years ago. You really need to read this it will for sure make you laugh out loud, so funny.

But this did get me thinking. If Gore had won, would we have Obama? I don't think we would and that would probably also means we would have a
republican in office right now destroying the economy and the world. So was it better that Gore lost to give us one of the most transformative leaders in a generation? Probably, but it was still a very painful 8 years before Obama...

I know that the economy sucks and that there are no jobs, that is why I sometimes take solace in funny t-shirts like the one below. I don't know who is clever enough to come up with something like this but I think this is one of the funniest t-shirts I've ever seen. Of course this relates to the recent martial issues that Tiger got himself into with his wife for CHEATING on her.

So I was wondering today, if Obama came to Ohio to visit, where would I take him to lunch? I think I would like to take him to a low key place that is just good food and good size portions (leading the free world works up an appetite). So I think I would take him to this BBQ joint called the Smoking Ox. Good BBQ and great prices (Obama needs to save some of our tax payer money). Where would you take Obama?
I thought this was just too funny not to share with everyone. I love the design and I wish I knew where to get one of these little bumper stickers.
I am happy that Obama's visit went well in China, but I really think he is taking too soft a stance on Tibet. The Chinese are killing the minority Tibetans and not allowing them to live freely. This is no different than Sudan and Darfur just on a more quiet smaller scale. We need to help the Tibetans and encourage the Chinese to finally free that country from their grasp so that Tibet can return to the peaceful nation it used to be.
I can't believe the Stupak Amendment. Restricting women's rights to get abortions will morally and socially set this country back 100 years and push aborting under ground. Don't people understand that it won't stop the aborting it will just make it more dangerous? I just don't understand people this stupid. That is why I think anyone in support of the Stupak amendment should get this stupak t-shirt.

So the Associated Press was the first to get their hands on the new Palin Book and this is the description that they had for it:
"The 413-page book with 16 pages of color photos but no index."
Basically they are calling it a coloring book, which it is. This is another failed attempt by Palin to be relevant in a society and mainstream media that has long since lost their interest in her quarky neo-conservative and down right dumb attitude.
Everyone here knows what Bill I am talking about! I am so happy that a bill with the public option has passed the House and can't wait to see if it can make it through the senate so that we will finally have real health care in this country. It is time to see some change and I think this is the first step toward that for Obama's administration. Good job to everyone here that did calling, donations and everything else to make sure this country is protected for the future.
If you've got a facebook account and know about the newsfeed then you need to check out this article on Slate. Basically they faked the 100 days of Obama's campaign as if it was on facebook. It's really funny and a great way to remember the campaign with it coming up on the 1st anniversary of the Obama election.

For some reason my post about the Obama Christmas cards didn't make it up on the site, but since it was so cute I thought it would be worth reposting. Anyway, I really like the idea of sending an Obama Christmas card for many reasons this year.
1. It helps reinforce the idea that some people are still behind their President and hope for real change.
2. It shows others that Obama is synonymous with Peace and Joy - two key holiday emotions.
3. It's just a new and interesting way to send a Christmas Card.
Here's the card I've chosen to send for my Obama Christmas. What's yours?

By pulling out of the election and telling her followers to vote for her democratic rival, Scozzafava just admitted to the people of Upstate New York what everyone on this list knows - that the Right of the party is becoming crazy. The Right is no longer a party that can be reasoned with, they don't understand or listen and they take their own like Scozzafava and destroy them. Is that politics? No, it is an all out attack on our American ideas. Scozzafava recognized that and that is why she told supporters to move into the Democrats Camp. Let's just hope enough people come to their senses to make a difference over there.
I seriously am not sure WHO Joe Lieberman represents anymore. He isn't a democrat as exampled again today by his refusal to support a health care bill that the majority of Democrats in America want. He isn't a republican because frankly they don't want him. So what is he? He is a stick in the mud, party of one. He can't seem to help any legislation get passed and is just gumming up the works with regards to health care. I wish he would just get over himself and join the party to help enact some real change for once and not be so sore about how nobody likes him. Heck, I would even be willing to send him some worms to eat if he needs it.
Wow! CNN.com completely changed their layout! I actually really like this because it has more featured stories and they have more of the independent reporting. Seems like every wesbite these days is going with that power header. We have it here are democrats.org and now CNN has it...I wonder if that is the cool new thing.
This little blog post is for those conservative democratic congressional members out there. Hey guys, how's it going? Did you guys know that 80% of the party that votes for you wants a public option? Yep, that's well over a majority of 50% Kind of makes you think you should support it in Congress right?
No? Still don't want to? Well consider this your warning. If you're not willing to do what your people want you to do it is time for a change and you will be the next to go. I want to see some real reform in health care and if you're not willing to give it to me then I will find the next person that will. I am tried of listening to your in fighting, just do it as Nike says.
The more and more I read about Majority Leader Harry Reid, the more I like. I think he is the perfect bulldog to Obama's bark and is finally making some movement in the congress on things like health care and capital market reforms. I think that he is the person that when history reviews what we've been through will be seen as Obama's right hand man, guiding the country to successful peace and prosperity.
