Hi, you guys? Whta's up? Miss me? Of course you did! LOL.
Today I'm going to talk about some life changing news and then just put my opinion on two events happening in entertainment.
First, today it has been announced that Democrats have approved a health care reform bill that will cost just below 900 billion dollars. (I can't imagine that amount but I know alot of ridiculously rich celebs who could! lol.) It is reported that the bill will require 96% of Americans to be covered by 2013. That's less than 4 years away! It features legislature that allows most Americans to be insured through private companies or a government program which means that health insurance companies will be competing with the government for rates and customers. Hmmmm. I wonder who'll win? Moreover, the bulk of it will be paid for by Americans making $500,000 or more, pharmaceutical companies and medical supply companies.
Now, is it me or does this plan sound too good to be true? People could say what they want but this is a good deal. I would guess that the only people who are bothered by this are (maybe) people making $500,000 or more a year, people who are afraid that we are becoming a socialist country (even though other government ran programs have not made this happen and are helping alot of people who really need it in the meantime) and Republicans who can care less if it really helps people and just don't like Obama or his minions as long as they have the best health care other people's money could buy!
There are some critics who have said that the bill will increase taxes, cut jobs, limit choice and so on and so on. Prove it! And maybe these critics are right but for now at least there are people somewhere who realize that healthcare is a major issue in America and while we were the richest, most innovative and influential country in the world for a very long time, many Americans were dying from every kind of disease imaginable because they couldn't afford to go to the doctors. What exactly had we and the world measured our success by? It took a staggering economy and vital statistics of unhealthiness to bring us to our senses. Shall we learn some common sense now, people?
Okay. I've vented a little so let's move on. I have to say that People Magazine is the magazine to go to when you want to see and hear the first of any celebrity. They recently featured pics of Brad's and Angelina's twins....Cough! They'll look better as they get older. Just like Shiloh. Anyway, did yall see the recent photos of the Maddens? Joel Madden and Nicole Richie have married. Isn't that wonderful? I think marriage is nice. I might try it one day. But did yall see their babies? My Lord aren't they beautiful!!!! I had to look twice because they were so cute! Congratulations on your love and family Joel and Nicole Richie!
In less happy entertainement news: Here we go again with Nene and Kim from The Real Housewives of Atlanta! Although I don't approve of people calling the show ghetto (what does that mean anyway?) I can truly agree that these are some of the most dramatic drama queens I've ever witnessed in my life. It's always something. Now, Kim is accusing Nene of strangling her. What? Exactly how does a person get their hands around your neck and enough time to choke you before you do anything? I know most people have trash to talk about Nene but Kim is just plain annoying to me. I like Nene for her realness. I like Kandi because she's sweet and Lisa because she's different but Kim is just plain annoying. Always crying. Letting people pull her hair, threaten to flip her over a couch and strangle her. Get a grip!
Of course, I, like everyone else, could just be feeding into the propaganda of a reality show. Who knows? The girls probably get along perfectly fine in real life. But their images are what we see so......
Well, that's what's on my mind. Tell me what you think! Until next time....
Lew
