Many people invest in insurance companies. I'm sure many of them are polititions. It would be interesting to see the trading records of these polititions over the past few months and as the final vote nears. On the other hand, if we had this information now, we would know for certain what the vote will be.

“The CBO estimate released last night finally sheds light on the smoke and mirrors game the majority has been playing with the cost of their health care reform proposal. Over the first 10 years, this legislation builds in gross new spending of $1.7 trillion – and most of the new spending doesn’t even start until 2014. Once that spending is fully phased in, the House Democratic bill rings up at more than $3 trillion over ten years."

"As the nation waits to see when or if SEIU members involved in a physical confrontation with Kenneth Gladney outside a health care town hall meeting in August will ever be prosecuted, [Missouri] another allegation of union violence has cropped up. A California state worker went to the hospital bloodied and bruised Thursday night as a result of a beating administered in an SEIU union hall. Kourosh Kenneth “Ken” Hamidi says four or five members of the Service Employees International Union local 1000 assaulted him as he entered their Sacramento meeting with a video crew for his public access TV show."
This is one union that needs to be crushed and scattered to the wind. Let's see if California officials are any more concerned with enforcing the law than in corrupt Missouri.
List some numbers less than zero that are zero.
If 1 and 0 is 0, what is 11?
What two colors make yellow?
What two colors make green?
If 17 = 23, what is 11 ?
Is black the absence of color or is white the absence of color?
I can think of two numbers less than zero ( negative decimal numbers) that are in fact zero. Now there might be more, that's why I said list some. I can think of 2 .
Here's a hint. Now think in terms of the same reasoning of "why is Halloween like Christmas." What number greater than zero is zero? That should get you on the right track.

Not only is he by far the most dangerous president we've ever had the misfortune of having as our president, he's an android cooked up in a lab, if you ask me and many others.

It was never a curious thing to me, I'll tell you that.
Gee, no photo ops for the Bush's? No agenda to promote? I guess the Bush's just truly love and respect our military. Too bad our commander in chief doesn't feel the same way.

Adidas Hits Errr Jordan
Another celebri-kid who thinks silly things like rules and contracts don't apply to him, because he's, you know, the son of someone famous!
Marcus Jordan, a freshman guard at UCF, told the university he would
wear only Nike Air Jordan shoes out of deference to his superstar dad.
Maybe he can talk his superstar dad into making up the financial loss for UCF. Or offer them a better contract to play in Nikes.
Better still, I hope they kick him off the team. He's obviously not a team player.

because Oct 31 = Dec 25
Because oct 31 = dec 25
