From the movie Fight Club, a little matter of fact:

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."

Obama: The Goldman & Sachs President

When will the other former Obama supporters like me wake up? We were hoodwinked. Don't believe me? Check out how well Wall Street is doing while main street keeps sinking deeper into this depression. "New York City's four largest investment firms -- Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley -- earned $22.5 billion in the first nine months of 2009. Wall Street's earnings, should they remain steady for the rest of the year, could lead some firms to eclipse 2007's record profits." I guess Goldman & Sachs got their money's worth when they bought their new president.

Biden Cold Open

Some people were upset after watching this SNL skit. The denial about what a disappointment Obama has been is very ugly to watch. Especially to those that helped him get elected. Bashing Obama? It's called criticism. It's ironic that so many of us campaign and voted for him partly because he was "black". Now, because of very well publicized "tea bagging" racist, his race has become a barrier to honest appraisement. Personally, after reading his auto-biography and what he has done to this point I don't truly consider him black. MLK, my greatest hero, he is not. Not even close. Not that every black person is a MLK but I can't imagine he truly knows what is like to live under the yoke of the ruling class. I'm done with the audacity of hope and hoping for audacity. He is not a community organizer turned nation leader but the bought and paid for president of Goldman & Sachs. Don't be bamboozled. SNL, part of corporate media got it right. For a change. Obama tried? That must be the assertion of someone who has done even less than he has or one that loves delusion especially in the face of possible disappointment. He gave a few empty speeches. He's the good cop and the republicans are the bad cops. We the people are the stupid perp. being coned. Boy, are we screwed.

Cigna Protest Rally and Sit-In

This was a sit-In Demonstration at the Cigna Corporate Offices at 1571 Sawgrass Corporate Parkway, Sunrise, at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, October 28, 2009, to demand that Cigna stop its insurance abuse and immediately approve all doctor-requested care for patients with life threatening conditions. Cigna currently denies 1 in 5 doctor requested treatments. One hundred and twenty (120) people on average die every day according to Harvard Study just released because either they are underinsured or have no insurance.

Humana Sit In

THIS IS PART OF THE NATIONAL MOBILIZATION FOR HEALTH CARE CAMPAIGN COORDINATED BY HEALTHCARE-NOW and MOBILIZATION FOR HEALTH CARE FOR ALL THURSDAY, OCT. 15th HUMANA CORPORATE OFFICES
This is a brief video upload of the event above described. Five brave souls got arrested for peaceful civil disobedience to demand that HMO's like Humana stop denying coverage to their policyholders with life-threatening illnesses and support real Medicare-for-All healthcare reform. Many others were there to support the same cause. Here are some of the images from the upcoming film Mesh, the Movie (http://meshthemovie.blogspot.com/) . Thanks to all the nice folk that participated and showed how exemplary citizens progressive people are. Special thanks to Leslie Elder, Geraldine Vaccaro, Al Rogers, Rick Ford and Barry Silver. We are planning on reaching out to the local collegiate community to participate. Stay tuned for further updates about this movie and this cause. Mesh, the Movie is about the axis of greed and medicine and the mess we find our nation in. Kudos to our courageous civil disobedient citizens: Al Rogers, Jim Elder, John Ocampo, Patti Bender, Wayne Falb, Janice Golding
