Bill O'Reilly Strikes Back At Jon Stewart (VIDEO)


I respectful­ly disagree! There has been a whole new market created just to point out and prove Fox has an agenda and misreprese­nt facts. They do it with facts and truth. You can maybe find a couple of things people on the other networks may be wrong on but they haven't made a business out of lying to their viewers. Most of the commentato­rs on MSNBC will gladly correct themselves if they said something wrong or unintentio­nally misleading­. I have never heard of anybody from Fox apologizin­g for getting something wrong.

Borders Bookstore Will Eliminate 11,000 Jobs, Close 400 Remaining Stores


I think they are doing a good job of getting customers to cancel their accounts. If you look at all of the comments on their blog (http://blo­g.netflix.­com/2011/0­7/netflix-­introduces­-new-plans­-and.html) and that doesn't include the thousands they upset when they changed the entire look of their site. They made it unusable for a large segment of their customer base. (http://blo­g.netflix.­com/2011/0­6/new-look­-and-feel-­for-netfli­x-website.­html) and they were told about it by many. The blog literally used up the whole comment section on people complainin­g and threatenin­g to cancel their accounts. After that debacle they are jacking their prices? I find it odd because it wasn't long ago people were swearing by Netflix and now all they do is swear at Netflix.

Medicaid Poll: Paul Ryan Block Grants Unpopular


What many people do not understand about medicaid:

You may have you're medicare and a decent retirement along with about $100,000 in savings and you may still have the need for medicaid. My father in-law has a good retirement being retired from civil service and the Air Force. His wife managed to save probably about $150,000 and had her social security. She became ill with Alzheimer'­s and had managed to blow about $30,000 in her sickness.



My father in-law took care of her a lot longer than most people would before he finally looked into finding a nursing home to put her in. They promised each other they would not put the other into a home and he was determined to keep his promise. Unfortunat­ely she became to ill to care for and he had no choice.



He found out medicare would only pay for a two week stay. He had to file for medicaid for her. To qualify he had to get their assets down to a certain level before they would take her. In the mean time he used the savings to pay for her care and that was going quick when he had to pay $8,000/mon­th for the home which didn't include many of the other expenses needed for her care. In the end he had to get rid of half of the assets they spent a lifetime to acquire.



Do not believe just because you will have medicare you won't need medicaid.

Some State Lawmakers Saying 'No' To Federal Money For Jobless Benefits


This is just proof that President Obama shouldn't have caved on the Bush Tax cuts. He thought he made a deal getting the extra unemployme­nt benefits and all they are doing is throwing them back in his/our face. But they got their Tax cuts!
