Not everything in the world has been said about Duck Dynasty yet,
apparently. So we talk about how we don't understand why we're
still talking about it. Greg Dworkin notes the arrival of Festivus,
and airs his grievances against the media. In particular, this from
WaPo's The Fix column:
"Joe Manchin's Obamacare fears -- and why they matter." Better
example of how to talk about health care cost disruptions:
NYT's
"Health Care's Road to Ruin." Yes, things are complex. Even the
no-brainer of keeping
guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. And in a closing
holiday note,
"Nordic Quack," Sweden's bizarre tradition of watching Donald
Duck cartoons on Christmas Eve. And how about our own
rise of redneck TV? Great opportunity for easy grassroots
activism (and local stardom!) in
foresterbob's diary, "I signed up for health insurance, told my
GOP Congressman about it, and made the local news." Then, an
interview with bunnygirl60, aka
Arliss Bunny, author
of
The Smart Bunny's Guide to Debt, Deficit and
Austerity.
