Ruth Marcus - Ruth Marcus on debunking health reform myths - washingtonpost.com
Republicans are lying about the health care reform bill. Don't believe them. - Kevin Pedraja from Bookmarklet
"You have to wonder: Are the Republican arguments against the bill so weak that they have to resort to these misrepresentations and distortions? " - Kevin Pedraja
The simplest answer to that question is yes. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

Tampa police: Marine reservist attacked Greek priest he mistook for terrorist - St. Petersburg Times
"A Marine reservist armed with a tire iron beat and chased a man he thought was an Arab terrorist and even called 911 to say he was detaining the man, police said." - Darryl from Bookmarklet
You know...I'm not shocked this isn't an Onion headline. - Anika
The Marine reservist looks about as dumb as a box of rocks - and I think he's too beefed out on testosterone for his little boy modeling gig to know that he is simply redneck stupid and giving Florida AND the Marines a very bad name. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

President Obama's small masterpiece of a speech at Fort Hood. - By John Dickerson - Slate Magazine - http://www.slate.com/id...
President Obama's small masterpiece of a speech at Fort Hood. - By John Dickerson - Slate Magazine
"President Obama's speech at Fort Hood, Texas, was a small masterpiece—less than 15 minutes—in part because it was so modest. The president had great material and he knew not to get in its way. Less than three minutes into the speech, the president was telling the story of each of the 13 people who had died. The news has been full of every last detail about the shooter. Obama corrected that balance." - rowlikeagirl from Bookmarklet
Hah, is that the Somali flag in the back? - Maxamad
While the flag for when an Air Force Brigadier General is present looks like a Somali flag (http://images.google.com/images...), that one actually has an eagle on it. I'm not sure what it stands for, though. - Rob H.

PolitiFact | GOP health plan allows insurers to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions #mostlytrue - http://www.politifact.com/truth-o...
PolitiFact | GOP health plan allows insurers to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions #mostlytrue
"Wasserman Schultz was correct when she said the GOP plan does not prohibit health insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. We found nothing in the 219-page Republican plan that would do that. Insurance companies have argued that they can only absorb the cost of taking people with pre-existing conditions if they could offset that expense by expanding their customer base through mandates that everyone buy insurance. And the Republican plan doesn't do that." - MikeAmundsen from Bookmarklet

That last one is awesome. - nakachi
@nakachi it would've been better if she hadn't moved as i took it. ;( also, Achilles is my friend's dog. - Carlos Ayala
LOVE. You know, if you ever need a little break, you should feel free to send Isabella up to Va. I promise to send her back. - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
Aw, so sweet. - Anika
careful what you wish for pea, we may never see you again! - Carlos Ayala
you keep warning me but I gotta tell you, I've taken on some seriously challenging kids and survived to tell the tales so, bring it on. i ain't scared! ;D - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
haha! you should be! - Carlos Ayala
pfft. has she ever broken into anyone's home? broken some stranger's sunroof? gone to bed with every knife in the house under her pillows because she's a ninja? shoplifted when she was 3? :D i got this. - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
give her time. she is only two and is currently only throwing forks and knives at her mother while saying "shit" 'cuz she missed. but when she connects she reaches out to dad for a high five. trust me, there is much evil brewing within this one. the force is definitely strong with her. - Carlos Ayala
lmao @ reaches out to dad for a high five. - nakachi
Great pics. I wonder if Cletus will ever calm down enough for stuff like that. - Matt Hilton

What is your favorite documentary?
image_documentaries.jpg
What the bleep do we know ? and A Nation is Born. - Eric Logan
Mine are mostly series. There's Architectures (http://www.netflix.com/Movie...), Jazz (http://www.netflix.com/Movie...), Planet Earth, and Hyperspace (http://www.netflix.com/Movie...) - Anika
Blue Vinyl (http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog...): it's about how vinyl siding gets made; pretty thought provoking, with some good tongue-in-cheek humor. - Jennifer Dittrich
The miniseries they did about Silicon Valley about 10 years ago. - Alex Scoble
Eric, I wouldn't call that movie a 'documentary' per se. It had a lot of bad science in it. :) - mikepk
It's also add The Blues (http://www.netflix.com/Movie...) and the first Beef documentary. - Anika
which one is about the holocaust? I can't remember the name of it. - Alfredo
do you mean Shoah? - Sarah is Novembery
The Thin Blue Line - Jim Hearts FF
That's a great one, Jim. I have SO MANY favorites. Documentary is my genre. I could never pick just one. - Sarah is Novembery
I have read the criticisms and parts are arguably a little hokey but, It simplified explanation of key findings from quantum theory. I loved the Dr. Quantum segments. It actually broke into the mainstream so that others would investigate and has some of the best interviews conducted on the topic. The jury is still out on consciousness studies. IMHO - Eric Logan
rivers and tides - Aron Michalski from BuddyFeed
is Shoah the one that tells the story about that one man his life? For a holocaust documentary, which one do you recommend? - Alfredo
Michael Jackson's This Is It. - Danny Minick
Shoah is the film that was something like 12 hours long. I didn't see it. I'd recommend Night and Fog by Resnais, but I honestly haven't seen a lot of documentaries about the Holocaust. Wondering if you're maybe thinking of Solzhenitsyn's novel, made into a film, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich? Which isn't about the Holocaust, but about Stalin's camps. - Sarah is Novembery
ditto Aron. Rivers and Tides is amaaaazing. - Karoli
Fast, Cheap, & Out of Control, then Man On Wire. - Andrew C
There was one I saw on Nova about the ocean that was fantastic. Can't remember the name though - Shey, Jamaican of FF from iPhone
KING CORN. - Steven Perez
Planet Earth - saeed
Grizzly Man. - Rob H.
American Movie. - Mark Wilson
Hoop Dreams, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Gray Gardens, Street Fight, The Fog of War, Titicut Follies, Salesmen, Night and Fog, Winged Migration...I love documentary films. - Derrick
Oh, I forgot B-Boy Planet and The Freshest Kids. - Andrew C
Planet Earth - Fajar Nurdiansyah
I saw Hoop Dreams in the theater so that's the first that came to mind. - Rodfather
Capturing the Friedmans, Grey Gardens, American Teen - Kisha, Well Conditioned from BuddyFeed
The Compleat Beatles - Laura B.
Here is a list of PBS Dateline documentaries that you can watch online for free and the're pretty good: http://bit.ly/A8YHX - Mark Layton

"Johnny Isakson, Georgia's junior Senator, has made a name for himself by unashamedly working overtime for the insurance industry, regardless of how badly it hurts his constituents. In fact, Isakson has consistently fought against lower health insurance costs and even voted against Medicare. And the insurance industry has rewarded him handsomely." - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

"Recently dishonored by being named one of the 15 most corrupt members of Congress by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, gubernatorial candidate Nathan Deal has over 20 years of experience in lining his pockets at taxpayer expense. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, over twenty years of no-bid contracts, as much as $3,000,000 might have found its way into Deal's pockets in a lucrative sweetheart deal between Deal's auto salvage business and the Georgia Department of Revenue." - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

The money behind these Republican politicians is simply a-mazing! - http://whotheyrepresent.com/home
"Republican Congressman (and candidate for Governor) Nathan Deal has over 20 years of experience in lining his pockets at taxpayer expense. And when Deal's sweetheart no-bid arrangement with the state's Department of Revenue was in danger of disappearing, he didn't hesitate to put his taxpayer-funded Congressional staff on the case to keep the money flowing his way. That's why the nonpartisan group CREW named Deal one of the 15 most corrupt members of Congress. Who does Nathan Deal represent? Definitely not the taxpayers of Georgia. This is just one example of the Republican graft, corruption and dishonesty exposed..." - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

Amazon.com: Clevercat Top Entry Litter Box: Home & Garden
Woo! Kitty totally figured out the crazy litter box I got her. Might be TMI, but I'm thrilled. - Jennifer Dittrich from Bookmarklet
Hrm... this might be an easy fix to keeping our little doggy away from the litterboxen. - Paul Reynolds
@Paul - I think it would work pretty well; the lid is high enough that a small dog would have trouble getting up there, or at the least, would cause a big racket doing so. - Jennifer Dittrich
Jennifer, does it seem to keep the litter IN the box better than the traditional boxes? - Rochelle
looks like a good DIY project. - MicahBear78
Aye. Couldn't one just get a Rubbermade bucket and ...modify? - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
It is definitely keeping the litter in a better - there's still a bit on the lid when the cat jumps out, but pretty small. @Tutivillus - I thought of modding one myself, but ended up not having enough time :) - Jennifer Dittrich
Time. Time is a cold, cold bitch that leaves us in an empty bed without coffee and wanting breakfast. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
We have two of these and like them, keeps the dog out of the litter! Only down-side is that the liners are expensive, I use PetSmart. - Victor Ryden
Do they make the sifty liners this big? - MicahBear78
What is a "sifty liner"? - Rochelle
there are a stack of ten plastic sheets. the bottom one is solid and each one above it is holey. use clumpy litter and a couple times a week you pull one liner up let it sift and throw the yuck away. - MicahBear78
Hmm, now I'm tempted to build one of these myself... Our kitten loves to kick litter around like crazy. - Jan Ole Peek
Useful information. Perhaps I should try something like this. I've switched to crystals for the litter, and that seems to be a big improvement compared to regular clumping litter. - Kittyburgers
@Kittyburgers - don't even get me started on how much I love the Swheat Scoop litter (made from wheat and is totally NOT stinky at all) I use with this :) - Jennifer Dittrich
I use a scoopfree, but I don't have a dog. works great, otherwise. - mjc
